9-6 Colts

Really dissappointing. There were some really good things yesterday, but ultimately I have two things that bug me. 1) I'm very surprised and bummed we couldn't run the ball effectively, and 2) it amazes me that Holcomb didn't throw even one deep ball all afternoon.

The defense looked pretty solid. James didn't have much running room. Courtney Brown showed up with a sack and the linebackers made two huge interceptions. There wasn't a lot of pass pressure and that's the worst thing you can say about the defense. Had the score been reversed we'd be feeling very good about holding an impressive Colts team without a touchdown. It's very unfortunate that the defensive effort was for naught.

Obviously next weekend's matchup in Baltimore is immediately a near must win. It's somewhat encouraging that the Ravens got smacked by the Steelers yesterday; let's hope their struggles continue another week, and ours don't.
