So Stokley drops a wide-open TD pass forcing the Colts to punt. It was downed on the 1 1/2 yard line.

Jax first play, a 76 yard run. 2nd play a TD run by Drew.

The Colts can NOT stop the run. While that may not be news to most, this is ridiculous. As defensive minded as Dungy and Polian is, you'd think that something could be done. Obviously injuries have killed them and the McFarland addition has been big--they are still horrible in their Run-Defense.

Starting on the Indy 36, the Jax end up 4th and 10 on the 36. With a strong tail wind, they chose to go for it rather than a relatively easy 3 points with Scobee kicking. They overthrew the pass into the end zone. I don't understand the Jax rationale there.

Indy is an absolute disaster against the run. And ultimately it will be there undoing in January.

So Scobee attempts a 48 yarder after a Indy FG and missed it wide right. Still in the first qtr.

Henry caught an 8 yd td pass. After getting shut out last week he has a couple catches early. Cincy could run up the score today and up to 14-0 early.

from what I can tell Vick is playing. Well, at least nobody else has thrown a pass for Atl.

Jax blocked punt deep in Indy territory. Jax looks awesome today. Of course, immediately, Taylor runs for a first down near the end zone. Jax always gets up when they face the Colts it seems. This should be a great game to watch.

it is showing that schaub fumbled to end their last series. 1 carry 0 yards.

Colts INT in end zone to keep Jax from scoring. Jax have no one to blame but themselves if they lose a close game.

I hope Schaub signs with a different team this off season though. He has the skills to start for a lot of teams in this league.

Betts nice so far. Can't beleive he re-signed with the Skins as a backup rather than test the open market where he could have easily started and made more money. Always could have come back to the Skins later.

The Jax rushing game is comical at this point--err lack of a run D from the Colts I guess.

A shootout is one thing, but hard for Manning and the Colts to match a TD on every drive. The JAx D is pretty good too. Another 3 and out isn't helping. This could be a blowout afterall!

Funny, a few weeks ago, they were talking undefeated for the Colts. Now, they are in Danger of losing 3 of 4. Are The wheels coming off? And before the defense can say they are losing on the road, just shows that maybe Manning can't run an offense with noise.

Colts have three starters just this game who have gone down with injuries--not to mention all the starters who couldn't even make it to the game--most notably Sanders.

Drew--93 yard TD of the 2nd half Kickoff. Don't see any way the Colts come back from this. Jax will be running almost exclusively the rest of the way--and we all know how that's going to go. 31-10 Jax now.

Electroman, you'r certainly free to love or hate anyone you want, but Peyton isn't exactly someone to give you reason to hate him. Unless you just hate him because he works so hard to improve himself and has turned into one of the best QBs in football. You're the first person I've seen or heard that has said they hate him.

I'm watching the game. Noise isn't seeming to have any impact. LOTS of drops. (As I am posting two more drops). Very good Jax D. And a horrible Colts Run D making the Colts O more predictable. With a banged up Colts D coming into the game. And three more starters going down during the game and out, I hardly think Peyton is struggling because of anything he is doing wrong to this point. But I don't know, you probably hated Jordan too! ;)

I respect that he is good. But I don't respect a player who puts his hands up in disgust all the time when things go wrong. He gets this spoiled brat look on his face. He wants to win bad, I realize, but it just looks like sour grapes to me. It surprises me that I am the first person who doesn't like him(Hate is a strong word, shouldn't have used it), I know many who don't like him.

Taylor is out for the game with a sore hamstring. Must have ran for too many yards! Drew is now teh exclusive RB. He already has 161 yds rushing a 93 yard KO return and 3 TDs and now is getting every handoff. Must be nice if you have him on your team right now.

Colts just stopped Drew in sucessive attempts and Garrard threw a bomb which JUST got knocked out of Matt Jones' hands in the end zone--forcing a punt. Colts need TDs quickly. With Jax keying on the pass--going to be a tall order. But I've seen Indy down 21 with 4 mins to go in the game against the incredible Bucs D a few years ago, so I know anything can happen.

Peyton engineers a great drive for a TD. I guess there are actually 4 defensive guys that have been replaced today and Brock just went down for the 5th hurt defensive player. Garrard is passing still.

always a great move for a coach to leave in the total MPV of the league up 21 points so he can break an NFL Record, a record he could have broken any of the last 3 games of the season.

What would Marty have said if LT had gotten hurt on that carry?

"I wasn't sure we had the game in hand. We were only up 21 with 3 mins to play so I figured I'd better go for it."

I can't remember a time where he ever displayed class. One of the few coaches I can't stand, but as an LT owner in a survivor league, woohoo!

Oh please, the chargers were home, just clinched the division, just moved into 1st place in the NFL, the crowd was screaming LTs name. Why make it a distraction for a still important game against a division rival next week on primetime. Get it over with, leave the team and the fans happy for a great celebration.

I didnt see shanahan have any problems with it. after the game he went over smiling at LT and gave him a hug.

Ditto what tastethewaste said.
The stadium was absolutely rocking.
If Marty had not given the ball to LT, he wouldn't have made it to his car :)

A close friend who has season tickets, said it was amazingly crazy.
