I think the DEFENSE cost us that game. The turnovers didn't help. But we wouldn't be having to come back from down 10 points if we actually had a secondary.

14 points off of turnovers. The D is by no means stellar, but they played good enough to win. And unlike last week, they showed up in the second half.

some are going to disagree but in the GOOD dept. I'd add the Run Defense. The D held Cincy to 94 yards and 3.0 yards per carry, both below Cincy's season averages. Yeah they gave up a TD on the ground too but if Angerer hadn't been held the TD may have been stopped...at the least it wouldn't have been as easy a TD as it was. There is definitely still room for improvement but overall they played well.

in the UGLY dept I add the pass defense and defensive playcalling.

We shouldnt be surprised by the defense... i personally coming into the season was very high on the defense but after the steelers game they have been a total let down... And that has alot to do with the secondary... though the secondary did look better with lacey out they werent passing that much then... hopefully they get better there and keep lacey off the field.. stick him on special teams.

I have been saying since the Pittsburgh game that I don't understand why teams try to run on the Indy defense. They have done a fairly decent job of stopping the run the past few games. The secondary is terrible, though. If I was game planning against Indy, I would throw like crazy. If they adjust to a nickel or dime package to try to cover the pass, then I would start to run more. If they never adjust, then I would just keep exploiting the weak secondary. Aside from the occasional string of broken tackles, running the ball has for the most part been wasted downs against the Indy defense.

Other teams don't need to be able to run the ball when they can pass on us all day long!

I know. That's what I'm saying. I don't understand why they keep trying to run. I remember Dungy saying at halftime against Pittsgurgh that the Steelers needed to run the ball more in the second half. I completely disagreed with that assessment. The Indy secondary is soft. Exploit it.

Donald Brown broke out? I'd say that's a little to much... he had one good run for a TD. Without that he's under 3.8 yards per carry.

Painter is getting better and he had a good game, but I think he did better last week.

No huddle is great! We should use it more often... it even did well with Collins at QB!

I would add that the play calling on offense was generally pretty good

Ugly:

I thought you were going to say the good, the bad, and the luck.
