Let’s just start with the end of the first half. Our O-line has struggled all season, but down 10-7, they seemed to enjoy letting TN through to luck (I actually had to go get my hat so I could throw it). That’s how it came to pass that when Luck was taking a fumble, he tried to throw the ball, which was intercepted and run back for a touchdown. The only problem was HIS KNEES WERE DOWN. BOTH of them actually. They reviewed it and still called it a Titans TD. But his knees were down. It was a bad call by a bad ref team.
Also in there, Carter fumbled. That’s no big surprise. ALL Carter does is fumble. So how come we cut all our good players but somehow managed to keep the fumble king? CUT HIM.
I don’t want to take anything away from the Titans D, but our line sucked and has sucked pretty well all season. That’s why Luck has thrown so many passes on the run, and why we struggled to run. We’ve got to come up some solutions up front (like maybe bringing Jeff Saturday back).
The second half started with a touchdown, forced a 3 and out, then one of the best punts I’ve ever seen (like out of a Madden game), resulting in an INT for a TD, and the Colts lead. I think this proves that the Colts do better when we have to come back after the half.
Then this inept ref team continued their stupidity, on both teams. They wouldn’t call pass interference at all on this drive, then extend the next by calling it for no reason. At least lean one way or the other. Don’t leave both teams scratching their heads trying to figure out what you want.
This turned into a good game despite the refs with a couple of lead changes, but I do have say Avery had a chance for a big TD, but dropped the ball, and again, he’s done a lot of that this season. Luckily, our defense made up for it and came up with a turnover with five and a half to go in the fourth.
Rest of the League:
Redskins-Ravens. One heck of a game. Both teams played with a lot of heart, but the Redskins had just a little more to lose, and therefore had a greater desire to win.
Panthers-Falcons. Hotlanta sure has cooled off. Cam Newton has warmed up. I’ll tell you, it seems like the Falcons have ruined their best chances for a conference championship this year, if they can’t get their momentum back.
Chargers-Steelers. Bring back Charlie Batch! If you lose to a San Diego team that is that bad…
Cowboys-Bengals. I can’t explain why Cincy was that bad this week. Maybe the Cowboys just needed after one of their players got drunk and killed another player (more on this later).
Browns-Chiefs. Why mention this? Browns were the only team in the AFC North to win this week.
Broncos-Raiders. Peyton Manning. Yeah.
Vikings-Bears. Anyone surprised that Cutler got hurt? You shouldn’t. Maybe the Bears should discover the concept of the offensive line.
Giants-Saints. I bELIeve in Eli! The Saints still struggle. They can put up big plays and are as dangerous as anybody, but all they can do is big plays, but still struggle finding identity. The Giants Defense did not struggle, and still play like beasts. That offense wasn’t bad either. Too bad its about a week too late.
Seahawks-Cards. Can you say “blowout”? Dang… I think that Packers game gave the Hawks a chip on their shoulder, and they’ve never quite recovered.
