How ‘Bout Them Colts

Who would have guessed that the Colts D would show up that big. Larry Johnson ran for 32 yards. The second best running back in the NFL was held to 32 yards by the second worst run defense in the league.
I should have posted before the game because I did predict that the Colts D would show up for this game. I posted on a messageboard I frequent that the Colts would hold LJ to 100 yards. Really… I did. They play better at home plus they had Bob Sanders coming back.
If Herm Edwards had a better play calling strategy I think Larry would have gotten closer to my 100 yard prediction.

Next up is Baltimore, best defense in the league. If Peyton and Marvin get their signals crossed again, throwing 3 picks against the Ravens will be a real problem because every possession will be critical against that defense.
The question is, can the Colts D show up for two games in a row. They’ve had some decent games this year, the problem is they follow them up with games where they give up 300 yards rushing. Plus, they will be on the road. I hope they can get it done.

Oh, and did anyone else get a kick out of the Tony Dungy / Motorola commercial? That was kind of funny.
