Who saw the game? What did it look like? So much for the Colts having to be "out-played" according to Dungy.

Didn't see it but the Colts always seem to have this happen. It's gotten to the point that they could go undefeated and still not be automatics for the Super Bowl.

[Steelersfan]

The Jaguars had 375 yds rushing! That should tell you it all.....lol

Funny thing is I'm a member of Colts board and some Colts fans were jumping all over Peyton Manning. I couldn't believe they actually smacked the Golden Boy. But hey I didn't know Peyton Manning played DE, DT,LB. True the Colts offense didn't do jack today but the Colts run defense should be ashamed of themselves.

And the Colts only had 34 rushing yards. Edgerrin James is being missed and he probably wishes he wasn't stuck in Arizona.

listen....the colts are a joke and no way are they a legit 10-3 team, they have barley won games against horrible teams and i knew it wouldnt last forever. This years post season failure is just gonna make next years that much harder for the super colts and super peyton.

Last year would've been their best shot, they had home field locked in through the playoffs and a first week bye. But the Steelers came in and ended their hopes. At this point it's been a realized pattern that the Colts own the first half of the season and past the halfway mark they are living on borrowed time. The Colts team is now being picked apart and exploited as teams take Tony Dungy's "teams will have to outplay the Colts" words and do just that.

Well there's the problem, Peyton prolly is 80% of that team. The Colt's have a good passing game, and you can tell that is where they put their emphasis. The rest of the areas of the game are mediocre at best. Joseph Addai has done an acceptable job doing what he can in the running game but when the O-Line has been trained to protect the passing game they are not ready to protect the run as well. The defense has never been their strong suit, they just have had a vertical enough passing game that they've been able to just out-score the other teams.....now as teams learn to prevent this from happening the Colts are losing. The Colts want to be a finesse football team, but in order to be able to finesse you got to have the dirty-dirty taken care of (O and D Lines primarily) which I do not believe they have done fully.

And the Colts only had 34 rushing yards. Edgerrin James is being missed and he probably wishes he wasn't stuck in Arizona.

Edge's decision has a chance to be vindicated within the next two years, he and Cardinals fans can only hope that he is still at full strength when this happens.

H-Burg oh I agree the Colts are soft and Peyton deserves some blame. But that performance by the Colts run defense was the worst performance I have ever seen in all my years watching NFL football. I would be the first to blame Peyton Manning just saying the Colts run defense lost the Colts the game today. The Colts better fix their defense or they will never win a thing in the Peyton Manning era.

I don't blame Peyton for the horrible performance of the Colts on run defense. He can't help that. But what I am saying is that the way the Colts are set up at current it puts most or all of the pressure on Peyton Manning and him having a huge pass game. Problem is that Peyton is not the man you want to put all the pressure on when the game is on the line.

Ya gotta give some credit to the Jags run defense, making them one dimensional .
