The Colts suffered a disappointing loss for their last game played in the Hoosier Dome (sorry, I still can't call it by its current name). You can't win if your defense doesn't decide to show up and put pressure on an average QB like Rivers.
Admittedly, I was nervous in the last Colts game, when they got beat by the Titans. You have to establish some momentum going into the playoffs. You still have to play. And no, Cleveland fans, Indy didn't mess up your plans, you have to win to get into the playoffs - don't rely on other teams to lose. YOU are in charge of your playoff destiny. 13-3 in the regular season was a miracle in itself, as the Colts played some games with as few as 17 offensive players due to injuries.
All in all, the Colts season this year was a typical one for the past few years, getting more than 12 wins is very difficult to do in the NFL.
Kudos to the "other Manning" and the Giants' win over the Cowboys. The Giants defense was in Romo's face all day. And, that blonde girl wasn't there today, so there should be no excuses.
Fox Sports had a "stellar" crew in the booth as usual - Troy Aikman and Joe Buck (the only microphone he should be speaking into is a drive through mike at White Castle). Their announcing booth was conveniently placed above Troy Aikman's name in the Cowboy's ring of honor. Give me a break - so much for the "neutrality" in the booth. Oh, a little lesson in Football 101 for Buck - when a flag is thrown right at the beginning of a play, someone is offsides and the refs don't blow the play dead, it's typically on the defense and is otherwise known as a "free play". Apparently you don't know that, because it's not on your cue cards.
The Colts will be back next year - Go Colts!!!
