the colts have shown they can play smash mouth football, but there problem is they cant do it in a consistent basis. one week they'll shut down a rb and the next there gonna be run over.

I don't want to get too excited too soon, but this was the second week in a row they've played real well against the run. Hillis was supposed to be great against us, and he only had the one big run for a TD, and last night we really shut down Mendenhall. Now we just need to step up the coverage against the pass...

Go Colts!

hillis may not have got much on the ground, but he still scored twice.

Did I dream this last night or did the Colts run the ball well and stopped the run on defense? If they would have incorporated this mentality a decade ago, there is no telling

how many banners would be hanging from the rafters with Manning under center.

There is still time if he can get healthy next year.

Maybe you're on to something. I wish the Colts would have checked with you a decade ago.

If you ask me, the problem is we use all of our focus on one thing. We focused entirely on stopping the run last night, so Roethlisberger threw for over a hundred yards in the first quarter alone. We haven't been able to stop the pass AND the run on a consistent basis. I don't mean we give up 30 yards each game to an offense, but keeping a team under 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing consistenly

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.

      I just wanted to give Pitt some love for his recent comments about Indy and family values. I also loved what he said about focusing on the long term financially and considering the situation youre in. He appreciates his place in the organization and that speaks volumes about him as a man. The Texans can have guys like Diggs, Im happy with Pitt. Just a top notch dude.    This is a place a lot of people love to hate on, for some reason. But he is living proof that all this rhetoric about how "nobody wants to live in Indiana" is just bonafied baloney. So many former players stick around here after retirement. There is a reason for that.    He is the exact kind of person you would think wouldnt like it here. Rich california kid whose father played in the NFL. Lives on a little farm in Indiana with his wife, who is also from California. And they both love it here.    Those huge cities are very over rated and it isnt for everyone. We just have to find people like Pitt who do and allow them to become pillars of the franchise.

      "I think he flashed last year and can add some value to the LB room."  And I also responded directly to the LB room question. I will simplify, he has a looooow ceiling.   So what's the Problem, why argue?
