Indianapolis Colts

5 December 2011

1. The Gillette Stadium crowd thought they witnessed a Patriot claim another record, but the celebration was short lived. TE Rob Gronkowski scored three touchdowns, tying the record for touchdown receptions by a tight end in a season with 13. Gronk’s third TD was actually was a lateral though. History will have to wait at least a week for Gronkowski, but he did score his first rushing touchdown.

It was a convincing win over the Philadelphia Eagles that came surprisingly easier than expected.

Hope you enjoy re-runs for the rest of the season.

The combined record of the remaining opponents is 18-37. A third of those wins belong to the streaking Denver Broncos that won their last four games without a quarterback.

New York Jets DE Shawn Ellis said of New England QB Tom Brady, “He becomes a different quarterback when he doesn’t have wide-open guys and you hit him three or four times. He was skittish. I’ve never seen him like that. In the first half he was terrified.”

It’s kinda hard saying Baltimore, Indianapolis, or the New York Jets concern me considering the results from the regular season games. The Pats throttled the Jets in the second go-round. I don’t take any team led by QB Peyton Manning lightly, but the Colts have a lot of injuries and needed a furious comeback to make that game close. And the Ravens, with their suspect secondary, hasn’t seen this version of the Patriots.

Last week the Patriots offense rolled up over 450 yards and scored 33 of 39 points. It’s the kind of offense fans have been waiting for all season long. The sweetest part was New England carved up the best defense in the league in the process. The fans can get used to this, but will it last?

Are the Patriots the best team in the league? 

Depends on who you ask. Some shout out yes from the highest mountaintop. Others say no, it’s the Atlanta Falcons. Power rankings might suggest. Bottom line is these opinions and polls are subjective.

I thought Logan Mankins was going to be different. I believed he could conduct his contract negotiations privately. Because he kept a low profile after the season and through the draft, I figured Mankins would continue to keep his distance from the Patriots and let his agent and New England hammer out a new deal.

It’s the kind of injury that believers in playing it safe use as an example. WR Wes Welker injured his knee when he planted his left foot to change direction, but the knee gave away. People believe he tore his ACL and MCL, ending Welker’s season just before the playoffs.

So you can probably feel the universal glee from all those who cover the NFL and loathe the Patriots that SI's Team of the Decade is struggling right now. As impressive as the 2007 Patriots were it has set an unattainable precedent that will not (and should not) be met again.

After the Patriots’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the first thing I did when I started my car was turn off the radio. I almost didn’t turn on my t.v. When I did, I absolutely didn’t tune in to ESPN or NFL Network. This lasted through the next day until the Monday night football game. I didn’t read the newspapers for almost two days.

The decision will live in infamy. In simplest terms, you play it safe and force the opponent drive the length of the field instead of risking a turnover. I understand why head coach Bill Belichick went for it on fourth and two, but that was the wrong side of the 50 to attempt the play.

It’s not surprising for people to get high on the performance of a surprising rookie. OT Sebastian Vollmer was thrust into a starting role after Matt Light went down with an injury. 

It’s an understatement to say Vollmer handled himself well. He got the better of some well known pass rushers in his three starts at left tackle. He nullified Tennessee’s Kyle Vanden Bosch in a snowy Gillette Stadium. Most recently Vollmer shut out loudmouth Joey Porter, keeping Miami’s OLB from registering a sack or a tackle.

It’s being called the Rivalry of the Decade, and who can argue with that? They are the winningest franchises since 2001. They’ve had countless encounters in the playoffs. Each team has one of the league’s best at the quarterback position. These former division rivals continue to add memorable chapters to their history, and this game should be no different.

In the world of journalism, it's the greatest compliment when an article you wrote inspires others to express their own opinion on the same subject.

Back in February, I wrote an article asking the question should teams draft tight ends in the first round. It was a relevant question because Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew could be the only TE selected within the first 32 picks.

1 March 2009

was officially broken up Wednesday when Marvin Harrison asked for and received his release from the Indianapolis Colts. The 36-year old receiver’s $13.4 million cap number in 2009 would have been the highest of any NFL receiver, and although Indy hoped to restructure Harrison's contract, team president Bill Polian said there was no feasible way to accomplish that feat. The release of Harrison saves the Colts approximately $6 million, with about $7.4 million in prorated bonuses still on the books. With three-time Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne and the up-and-coming Anthony Gonzalez still on the roster, Harrison’s production, which has significantly declined over the past two seasons, was no longer a necessity, and the Colts’ decision to part ways with Harrision was the obvious one. After an injury plagued 2007, Harrison totals of 60 receptions for 636 yards and five touchdowns in 2008 were the fewest of his career during a full season. Whether Harrison viewed a restructured contract as an assault to his manhood, he wanted a change of scenery or feels he can make more on the free agent market, Harrison’s current stance is a classic case of a veteran not realizing they are no longer as good as they previously were. Looking at the current number one receivers across the league, Harrison wouldn't start ahead of many, if any at all, and he therefore should no longer be earning number one type money. Peyton Manning was not only looking to throw to Wayne more often, but also to Gonzalez and certainly Dallas Clark. Perhaps it's pride or perhaps it's ignorance, but regardless of where he ends up in 2009, Harrison isn't going to make anything close to what he previously earned so why not stay in the only place you've ever played professionally with one of the two greatest quarterbacks of all-time on a team that annually is one of the few true contenders for the Super Bowl. Seems like the obvious decision to me.

As the draft approaches, it's obvious that the Patriots need an outside linebacker that can effectively rush the quarterback and maybe another cornerback to add to the competition between Ellis Hobbs, Jonathan Wilhite, and Terrence Wheatley. Finding the kind of LB that would fit in New England will be tougher this year.

Congratulations Pittsburgh Steelers for your Super Bowl XLIII win, you earned it, you clearly are the best team in '08, yadda, yadda, yadda.

*breathe*

Now that I got that out of my system, let me get to the point: The Patriots have two years to win one more championship within the 2001-2010 seasons to earn the designation Team of the Decade. If the time period was up, then no one could question the title. But because there are two years left and the Steelers as presently composed is built to challenge for another championship over the next few years, the Pats need one more ring to make it four and give them a lead the Steelers can't tie.

When I heard that LB Jerod Mayo received 49 of 50 votes for Defensive Player of the Year, I asked two questions: 1. Who got the one vote, then later, 2. Who the hell voted for Keith Rivers?

I won't argue Rivers won't be a good player down the road. In limited playing time, he had 37 tackles with an interception. But to compare a player that only played seven games versus someone who started 16 is illogical. Even if Rivers' number were projected to 16 games he's far behind Mayo's production. Sorry Rivers that you got your jaw broke by Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward, but that's football.

have been playing playoff quality ball for several weeks.  The bad news is, they must face the Indianapolis Colts in the 1st round.  Norv must be wondering why…why?  This should be a great game, but the Colts are just a much better team.  Dungy, in what could be his last season, won’t settle for a 1st round loss.  Look for the Colts to make a deep run…they are my favorite to win the Super Bowl…but that’s getting too far ahead.  Indianapolis 37, San Diego 29.

(meaning they are most likely completely wrong!) predictions for the other three wild card games:

Indianapolis Colts at San Diego Chargers: Although Indy has been the hottest team in either league of late and the Bolts won their division with a very mediocre 8-8 record, I think that the Chargers will prevail on their home turf.  Talent-wise, both teams match up very equally, but the Chargers' defense is finally coming around and their offense (when they put their mind to it, which SHOULD happen in the playoffs) can be very dangerous.  If the Colts are going to succeed, it will have to be on the shoulders of Peyton Manning, as I really don't see Joseph Addai or Dominic Rhodes taking over the game.  Prediction: SD 34, IND 24

The crystal ball had a mediocre performance this past week, going a mere 2-2.  We’re not sure what happened, but this is not acceptable.  The crystal ball took its lumps on the Cowboys game, but it may have been predicting with its heart rather than its fortune-telling powers?  Either way, that puts the crystal ball at 33-26-1 for the season.  That’s seven games over .500 (.558 to be exact).  Hopefully the crystal ball will perform better in the playoffs!  Let’s take a look back, and review what happened last week.

Let’s assess the situation at linebacker. The starter is hurt. His back-up was knocked out of Sunday’s game making a tackle and didn’t return to the field. His back-up, a third round rookie, is already on injured reserve. As insurance, the Patriots bring back an oft-injured player they cut in the off-season because his declining productivity wasn’t worth the salary.

Is this game against Miami a must win?

Personally I hate that phrase because it suggests that if a team loses the game, there's no hope for the rest of the season. I don't think that's the case for the Pats. They stand at 6-4 and while one loss hurts their chances of reaching the playoffs, it doesn't completely kills their chances of advancing to the second season.

To me, this is like the Cowboys/Giants game from a couple of weeks ago. No one expected the beat up Cowboys to go into Jersey and defeat the defending Super Bowl Champions. And going into this game hardly anyone thinks the Texans have a shot at beating the Colts. That's because they don't. Their not beating the Colts in Indy. This is a team thats getting healthier each week and a team that is getting hotter as the weeks progress. This should be relatively easy for the Colts as the Texans' season continues to get more disappointing.

Winners - Pittsburgh Steelers


UPSET SPECIAL
4) Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans

I bet you don't know who I'm picking with the BIG CAPITAL LETTERS that say UPSET SPECIAL right above the game huh? Anyways on paper, the Colts out-match the Texans in almost every position. From Manning to Schaub to the ruffled Texans defense as of late. Manning and company have only lost 1 TIME to the Texans in the Texans history and that was by a game winning field goal. So the Colts know how to beat the Texans. They have crippled the Texans in the past. Oh and not to mention the Colts are coming off a BYE whereas the Texans lost a close, hard-fought game to rivals Jacksonville in overtime last week. Doesn't look good for Houston. Hasn't looked good for Houston all season (0-3). Will the sun ever come out? Well I have my crystal ball in my hand and IT DOES. The sunshine does shine for the Texans in Week 5! I was stunned myself when I looked into it. I had to look twice to make sure I saw the score right. So therefore I'm taking the Houston Texans. It's their long awaited home opener. I'm hoping my crystal ball isn't malfunctioning or I'll have to take it back to the crypt. But my crystal ball has never been wrong! It's never been used! Until now!
