Wednesday Colts Injury Report

10 players sat out today, 8 with injuries. Charlie Johnson, Anthony Gonzalez, Donald Brown, Aaron Francisco and Adam Vinatieri remain out and were joined by defensive starters Robert Mathis (quad) and Clint Session (calf) along with Tony Ugoh (hip), making the reason for the move to sign Toudouze clear. Antoine Bethea and Dwight Freeney got the day off.

Notable return by Keyunta Dawson, back after missing several weeks with a knee injury. With Mathis hurt Dawson's return adds much needed depth.

Injured but Full Participation: Gary Brackett (foot), Melvin Bullitt (shoulder), Keyunta Dawson (knee), Kyle DeVan (shin), Kelvin Hayden (knee), Tim Jennings (ankle), Peyton Manning (glute), Jamey Richard (shoulder), Tom Santi (hand), Reggie Wayne (foot).

One last off topic note.     Not a fan of Clint's neckbeard, maybe it's in honor of Orton or something.

21-10 Cardinals! at the half. The Favre's are in serious danger of falling off the Saints pace. What a difference Kurt Warner makes to the Cards.

Quick Recap: Colts 27, Titans 17

This game was a clinic on how to (and how not to) turn yards into points. The Titans outgained the Colts by 15 yards, but lost by 10 points. The reason? Redzone performance and turnovers. The Titans made 5 trips inside the Colts 20. They earned just 17 points from them. The Colts made 4 trips and scored 24 points from them. The Titans turned the ball over twice, while the Colts didn't turn it over at all.

You have to get points when you get in the redzone. Turnovers and redzone FGs will kill you.

Joseph Addai rushed for 79 yards and two TDs, adding 3 receptions for 96 total yards. Pierre Garcon caught 6 passes for 136 yards. Peyton Manning completed 65% of his passes for 270 yards with no turnovers. Clint Session racked up 12 tackles and forced a fumble.

The Colts are 12-0 and have tied the NFL record for consecutive regular season wins.

CFB: Championship Week Open Thread

It's the last weekend of the season and nearly every game has BCS implications.

  • #5 Cincy-Pit: a Pit win gets them into a BCS bowl, a Cincy loss might keep them out and will certainly end their title hopes
  • #1 Florida-#2 Bama: winner goes to the BCS title game
  • #3 Texas-#23 Nebraska: Texas playing for a title berth, Nebraska for a Cinderella BCS bid.
  • #10 Georgia Tech- Clemson: winner gets a BCS bid, loser is left out.

Go Cincy and Texas!
