missing bob sanders hurts their pass defense not their run defense

if a DB being out hurts your run defense he was making too many plays against the run to begin with

I watched the game. If they played as well as you thought with 1/4 of their second team, it wouldn't have been close with the regular starters. The biggest weapon they have on offense outside of Manning, is that offensive line the way it plays when it's cohesive and working togther not missing blocks and getting absolutely steam rolled the way Charlie Johnson and Dan Federkeil did on the 4th and 1 play. The biggest thing that hurt them in that game was having 1/4 of their starters out, 1/4 of their starters injured and still playing. They're a pisspoor team this year and the Titans struggled with them for 3/4 of the game. I thought Tennessee was much better than they were, Monday night changed that a lot.

Think whatever ever you like but you must be one of the few people I've heard give them every excuse in the world!

They had Manning , Rhodes, 4 big threats at WR!!!

Their line was solid they just got out played in the 4th! Tennessee and Indy games for the last couple of years are always close!!

when Indy gets outplayed four times in seven games they aren't at full strength.

I'm not saying the Titans are bad, but that was more of a mental victory than anything b/c the colts have owned them and that division for so long.

I think it is crazy that the sot hasn't been sacked in five and half games though. Figured he would have at least stumbled aroudn and fell down on his own at least twelve times by now.

They only excuse then need is, they are bad. They're bad for 1 reason, they're playing with what's mostly a second team.

Who you said was at 75% at best

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Rhodes </div></div>

A second teamer

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> 4 big threats at WR</div></div>

They only have 3 wr's. Harrison isn't a threat to a jv high school team right now. Gonzales is a slight step up from that. Wayne is the only one that could be considered a threat.

at WR the colts have wayne.....a broken down harrison.......conzalez who is a 4 anywhere else and a TE named dallas clark
