Well, after four weeks of fumbling on the first couple of plays of the game, we managed to not do that. Instead, Painter threw an interception on the third play of the game. That pretty much sums up our season.
Dallas Clark is now out for a number of weeks. That makes Reggie Wayne and Jeff Saturday the only two starters on offense that have not been hurt this season (Garcon also has not, but is technically considered a backup for Anthony Gonzalez. You don't recognize his name? He's been on IR for 3 years straight.). We're not doing much better on Defense. Freeney was a questionable start.
Once again, our D tried to keep us in it, but it would help if the offense would do anything. In the last couple of weeks, the offense has scored a total of 3 points. Painter averages almost as many turnovers as first downs per game.
Now I hate a QB controversy, but I'm sick of watching the boy do nothing. Put in Dan Orlofski. I learned something interesting about him this week. He was Stafford's back up when the Lions went 0-16. He may be a jinx. We may need to run him over with a bus. But for now, start him. We just lost at home to the worst opponent we play all season. We can't do much worse. This game was so bad, from both teams, that they didn't show highlights of it on CBS, and the post-game highlights of the game itself showed the cheerleaders and mascots at various antics. And I still go out in public wearing Colts gear. Because I'm no fairweather fan!
Well, Colts have a bye week next week, so at least that's one less loss we have to suffer through. Maybe with a light week we can get a few guys healthy (the last few weeks our defense has been much improved getting our corners, Powers and Lacy back).
Rest of the League:
Cowboys-Bills. Where did Dallas get an offense? Are they allowed to do that? Or is that cheating.
Fins-skins. Just in case you were wonder, the last team aside from the Colts to not have a win just one the last two weeks (last week against KC). Both of the other bad teams got their first wins by soundly whupping teams who beat the Colts. Holy cow we are bad.
Giants-Patriots. Ok, so this is from week 9, but how could I pass this up? This broke an impressive at-home winning streak by the Patriots. And if you watched this game, it looked amazingly like the game when the Giants beat the undefeated Pats in the Super Bowl (one of the all time most entertaining games I have ever seen, and not just because the Pats lost). This included a pass to Jake Ballard that was identical to the David Tyree play of that Super Bowl. Ballard's number? 85, the same as Tyree. He ended up catching the game winner too. Brady personally had three turnovers early in the game. Why? He's a chump.
