Jim Sorgi, longtime clipboard carrier for the Colts, is now taking notes for another Manning in New York. Oh, and he also plays some football from time to time. While Jim was pretty well liked in Indy, general consensus was that he would never really be able to shoulder the load if anything ever went seriously wrong with Peyton. When Sorgi was traded in favor of the younger, stronger Curtis Painter, many were sad to see him go but few questioned the decision.

What a difference a few months can make. Dark clouds of fan discontent are growing around Curtis after his lackluster camp and even worse preseason appearance. Sorgi in the other hand just had his first game in a Giants uniform and, well, he can let his numbers do the talking.

Not too shabby for a guy who wasn't going to make it in Indy.

Hey there, Baltimore fans! Greetings from Indianapolis.

You know, we've certainly had our quarrels over the years. Harsh words here, bad blood there. Still, in this magical time of the year, it's nice to know that we can put aside our differences to concentrate on what truly matters: Laughing at the Patriots.

Ahh, doesn't that feel good? Now let's talk some football.

Let there be no dumpster fire pics this night, for the Jags played us one hell of a ballgame. Maurice Jones-Drew is an absolute monster. Passing on him will go down as the greatest of Bill Polian's few draft mistakes. David Garrard had me hopping up and down with rage as his legs robbed the Colts of at least three more sacks.

Well played, Jags. My hat is off.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed. Right after I have a brain aneurysm.

Last night we entered the Twilight Zone. With Baltimore's loss dropping them to 6-6, that leaves 7-5 Jacksonville - yes, Jacksonville - in sole possession of the AFC #6 seed. A trip to the playoffs is now the Jags' prize to lose. Furthermore, with a 6-2 conference record the Jags currently own the tiebreaker over all of the 6-6 hopefuls that want to take their place. That's good news if you like the kitties.

The bad news is that Jacksonville needs all of the help they can get. They have no fewer than four of those 6-6 hopefuls nipping at their heels with a good chance that at least one of them could end up 10-6. Meanwhile the Jags' last four games include two road trips and some pretty nasty competition. The Jags' dismal record against winning teams will have to get a lot better if they want to make it past the first week of January. Read on for a full breakdown.

Colts Media Hate Bingo: Not quite as much fun as bitching and moaning about how Peyton gets no respect, but it's close! ™

It was the best of times, but for me it's about to become the worst of times. I'm going to utter a blasphemy so foul, so unholy, that BBS will not only ban me, he will attack the SB Nation servers with a giant magnet just to erase any trace that I ever existed on these boards. Have mercy on me, gods of football, for what I am about to say:

I wish that Tony Dungy was a little more like Bill Belichick.

I don't wish for Tony to be a cheater like Belichick, or a sore loser like Belichick, or a cut-off-hoodie fashion disaster like Belichick. But when it dawned on me that the Pats were going for it on fourth-and-two with 2:08 to play on their own 28, with a game-winning first down in sight and Peyton Manning waiting for a chance to shatter their dreams, for that brief moment I wished that Tony had borrowed Bill's solid brass cojones for just one series on January 3, 2009.

Let me explain before you burn me at the stake:

Seriously, I can't figure him out. Granted I was watching the Texans game live and not from the greatest seats but it looked like he was dropping some very catchable balls. Then, just when I'm ready to write him off, he reels in a couple of circus catches and looks like Superman (or at least Batman).

My brother saw the same thing and pointed out that Garçon has had a few other games this year following this same pattern: Drop some seemingly easy balls, catch some really tricky ones. Is it a concentration problem? When the coast looks clear is he thinking too hard about the end zone and not about making the catch? I want to like him but he's making me crazy.

Please offer your own random opinions on this totally unscientific observation.
