The Colts have not looked as strong as they have in past season but they are coming off a bye week. Doy ou guys think they will continue to struggle on both sides of the ball, or has the bye week given them the time they will need to right the ship and get back on their old winning tracks?
I know the Jags had a number of tough O-line injuries pop up and vaguely remembered hearing something similar with the Colts. Saturday was out on one of the game I watched, but I did not remember how long he was going to be out.
How do you guys break down this match up and feel free to let the battlered koolaid flow!!!

Well looking at the stats we have actually scored more points than them over our 1st 3 games, but they have allowed less on D. I think the way to beat them is to still keep their offense on the sidelines. If we run our offense the way we did against Jax and score on 5 out of 8 drives or better then we have a shot. Not to mention after a month of football finally getting to be at home is going to be a huge can of crunk juice for our team. IMO all Koolaid aside this is a very winnable game and how sweet would it be for our 1st win of the season to be against the Colts.

Our passing and running will have more room without him in the picture this wekeend. I am starting to get pumped!

I was wondering about Bob Sanders...I knew he had gotten hurt but I didn't know if he would be back for this game or not. If he is out this is very good news indeed. He is a serious game changer for them and him not being in there automatically guarantees us about 75 more rushing yards.

Guys...WE NEED THIS WIN! I just watched the interview with AJ on the main page and the 1st thing that popped into my head was a post Hydro made a while back. If we do not turn this thing around by the time AJ's contract is up I believe we WILL lose him. He is frustrated! I feel we can win this game, but that is how I felt at the beginning of the season as well. We need this win. Are we undefeated under Kubiak with the roof open? I'm just reachin guys. Any momentum besides this being the opener will help. Again... WE NEED THIS WIN!!!

The Colts roster on NFL.com shows Sanders to be active. How up to date is the roster on there? It shows them to pretty much have everyone for our game.

I thought we coud win vs. Pitt, Ten, and Jac. and we lost. Vs. the Colts I think we'll lose so we should win then, right?

Freeney is the one we'll have to be careful of. Brown has been playing much better every week but he's going to have his hands full with the edge rush. That spin move that Freeney uses is sick.

Yeah we are def. going to need Sleepy's help on that side in pass situations. Unless he is burning the secondary for a TD pass of course.

The Colts suck! Seeing manning all bummed out on the sideline was priceless. He needs to call Sage and thank him for the shit win. It will be the last one they get this season.

someone needs to go back to HT.com and look up that Colts chick that always posts. She's a cool chick and has a level head for a Colts fan.

Actually I havent come across too many "bad" Colts fans, I mean there are some, the majority of the idiot fans are Tack and Cowgirls.

Colts and Jags fans are perfectly normal people in my book. I have never run across any of them that made me dislike their organization more because of their fanboy attitudes.
(Example: Tacks and Cowboys)

***BUMP***
ESPN is reporting that Tony Dungy will step down. While this won't be a huge impact immediately (because Tony's successor has been groomed for this day), I have to think Dungy's missed guidance and top notch coaching will be missed and we will start to see their decline.
