Colts were decimated with injuries. I wonder how they plan on getting by with zero running capability.

They had Rhodes and Addai, which were supposed to be their top two backs. I don't think many linemen were injured either, so their running game can't be blamed on injury.

Maybe I watched a different game than most of you, but I thought both teams looked pretty good on offense. Indy has no running game, but so what...they still have Harrison, Clark, and Wayne. They put up the scores necessary to win. Tiki looked unstoppable and Eli, other than the one really bad pick and average at best clock management, looked pretty solid. I wouldn't want to face either one of these teams right now, but that's just me.

Well if you shut down the Colts passing game, and force them to beat you by running, we might have a good shot at winning the game.

Yeah, GOOD LUCK on that one.

My thoughts:

Giants OLine has improved dramatically. Tiki and Jacobs had a lot of room to run, and Eli wasn't pressured.

The offensive pass interference in the 4th quarter was one of the worst calls of all-time, but they still had 70 yards to go. No guarantee they would have scored. However, the Colts had not been able to stop the Giants all day, so no reason to believe they wouldn't have been able to get into FG range.

The D was an absolute disgrace. You cannot allow a team to covert 11 3rd downs, 4 for more than 10 yards. Lewis should be drawn and quartered.

When Burress scored the TD my first thought was, "they left too much time on the clock." When will these idiot Def Coord's learn they cannot play a prevent when a team has all their time-outs.

Arrington? The whole Mr. Nickels thing just shows he is a moron who has never lived up to his pre-draft hype and needs to do something to get his attention, knee injury or not. I was happy when Shockey said, "The University of Miami" rather than , "the U".

Let's go Vikings!!!!!

You don't cast any blame toward the questionable acquisition of R.W. McQuarters and Sam Madison (Gramps & Gramps) to shore up the pass defense?

I'd have no reason to expect anything different from those two.

I'll give you the Giants D-line – you've got 3 fearsome defensive ends, (though I do wonder how much Strahan has left at this stage). But come on, McQuarters and Madison?

Why not give Everson Walls a call while you're at it?
