]]> The Colts are now, finally, all alone at the bottom of the NFL pile.  Sunday’s 31-7 home loss to the Falcons, coupled with the Miami Dolphins’ road thrashing of the Kansas City Chiefs, left the Colts as the only winless team on the gridiron.  How much worse can it get?   Well, from my perspective, it looks like seven more losses is the floor of the possible despair for this season.  In the meantime, here are the names of the game from Sunday.

 

The Zippy

  • Donald Brown may have used this lost season to find his NFL career.  In this one, he ran 16 times for 70 yards.
  • Jerraud Powers ran an interception back for the Colts only score.
  • Philip Wheeler and Antoine Bethea both recorded double-digit tackles.
  • Adam Vinatieri kicked an extra point.  Yay.
  • Um, mmm, hmmm.  Well … Dan Orlovsky threw six times, completing four of them.  And he’s not Curtis Painter.

The Chippy

  • Curtis Painter was terrible.   Losing his grip as a backup for the future.
  • Delone Carter ran four times for eight yards and coughed up the ball once.
  • Does this sound at all familiar??  Take a KNEE!!!!!!
  • Jim Caldwell can’t be feeling to snug right now.   Neither can Larry Coyer, or maybe even the Polians.   Jim Irsay may go “Bowling With Heads” after this debacle plays out in January.

The Falcons smoked the Colts on Sunday.

 

Break out the champagne, folks!    The Indianapolis Colts are alone in “first” place and appear to be ready to make good on a wire-t0-wire run to land the first pick in the 2012 NFL draft.   Not only did the Colts drop their home game today against the Atlanta Falcons, 31-7, but the Miami Dolphins got off the snide in a big way by defeating the Chiefs in Kansas City, 31-3.

In their game against the Falcons, the Colts were pretty much non-existent across the board, holding onto the ball for just 22 minutes to the Falcons’ 38.  Curtis Painter threw for just 98 yards and was relieved by Dan Orlovsky, Indy lost the running battle (163 yards to 83), and Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan delivered 275 yards through the air.

The lone bright spot for the Colts’ was Jerraud Powers’ 6-yard TD run off of an interception.  Indy didn’t even get a field goal attempt on the day, and they really appear to have completely given up on the season.

Lord help our Colts!   Failing that, or a Manning Miracle,  Luck be with our  Colts!!!

]]> Back when nobody was sure whether  Peyton Manning was throw five interceptions a game because he was overmatched or because Marvin Harrison was, Matt Ryan was still just a prom-night dream for his father.   Or something like that.   Now, though, that we all know the Colts are so bad because Manning has been so good, little Mattie is trying to get the Falcons headed back in the right direction.  Atlanta faces a stiff challenge in trying to win the rugged NFC South, but a soft swirl of warm hair mousse in trying to overcome the Colts this Sunday.  Am I right?  Is this game a gimme for the Falcons, or do the Colts have a chance?   Let us know what you think below.
