| | I don't know his name, but one of the studio analysts on NFL Total Access (a show on NFL Network) said although the Colts will not make any excuses they have one: injuries. He blamed their poor play this season on players not being healthy and the fact that some players are just coming back from medical layoffs. He thinks they're going to improve "as they get healthier." In other words, all the Colts need to beat the Jaguars is a blank injury report. What do you think of this idea? Every team has injuries. Blank injury reports are not seen later in the season unless everybody is on injured reserve. I don't know how it would have looked if they had Bob Sanders and Tony Ugoh because that was Game 1 against the Colts. At the same time, we had injuries ourselves, including Meester, Naeole, and Durant. Knowing what would happen with the players who were hurt is not possible. However, I completely understand people want to make excuses for a team losing and health problems are always present on any team.

| | The Colts had probably more injuries last year & effectively went 14-2 (they threw the last gave w/ the Titans). I don't buy the injury OR officiating excuse, ever. What the Colts need to do to beat the Jags is ONE thing: wrap up on tackles. The whole game changes yesterday if the Colts "D" doesn't play like wussies. |

| | Every team plays with injuries. The Jaguars have tons of injury problems, but they did what they had to do to get the win. |

After watching it over man we missed on first and second attempts almost all the time to bring down the ball carrier. That is often a problem we have had though against the Jags even when we do beat them and we saw it almost all of 2006. And we saw it the first few games this season as well except for the second half against the Vikings. Tackling must be improved, yes Dungy and company will work on the fundamentals during the bye. It's disgusting how bad we tackle at times and I feel we it constantly has to be fixed. As for injuries I do not use them for an excuse for our D or much at all ever. But, I finally feel Manning is back to where he needs to be health wise and you see the stretch play back which he was not able to do the first two games. I also feel Manning was healthy enough to beat the Jags but our D was not on the field enough and since we were running well on the Jags I would have liked to see more long drives. And the timing is not all there yet at times with receivers. We have seen a lot of dropped balls. And people put a lot of blame on Marvin but often those were poor throws by Manning and not Marvin's fault often. A lot to work on for us overall that having nothing to do with injuries right now. But, the Jags running backs are bad *** and we don't face too many teams with two that good. Peterson was a handful though as well but we did a good job against him when the team tackled better. *sigh* somethings our D makes me want to rip my hair out....... |

| A healthy Bob Sanders is the colts D key.
MOJO is the Jags Play maker.
Both Stand a Giant 5'8"
Just look when Sanders is playing and when he's not.
Colts run D is crap when Sanders is not there.
It would be like if we lost our best D player who ever that may be, Better make that 2 players we just don't have a star difference maker on the Jags Defense.
For the offense,
The colts O line is nicked up just as much as the Jags.
The colts have a hall of fame QB, and Wrs. that can score in crunch time while the Jags just have a good QB and 2nd and 3rd Wrs that can't score TD's in the redzone.
Colts have a good RB that made the Pro Bowl while our Freddy was an alternate who made it.
So no excuse for the colts, time is getting to them and Sanders is hurt.
It's funny now we root for the colts to beat the tacks on monday night!
What a difference a year makes.

I don't think you will find many Colts fans making excuses. Most of us realize we were outplayed and totally sucked on the D, I can't believe we actually had a chance to win at the end. The Jags totally deserved to win |

What a difference a year makes.You are contradicting yourself here. If injuries are not a valid excuse, having or not having a healthy Bob Sanders is irrelevant. Are you saying no injuries matter unless the player's name is Bob Sanders? FYI, next Monday night's game is Baltimore at Pittsburgh, not the Titans and Colts.

| | Bob Sanders is awesome but we have won plenty of games without him over the years. Yeah he is awesome and so is Freeney but we have plenty of good players on D who need to get the job done and step it up. |

| | We had the horses to win yesterday (at this time, it's more like two days ago). Manning got pass happy and made two bad decisions. We didn't run when we had success. We should've executed better and won. We didn't. It's that simple. Get over it. We'll have our chance again in December. Until that time, I'm not worried about it. We have a great team that is bubbling with potential. A lot of football is left to be played by both teams. Both could just as easily be battling for a postseason BYE week or missing the playoffs completely in December. You just don't know. Congratulations to the Jaguars. No excuses, no refs, no injuries, no BS.
