In the end, I am super glad we got the win but I feel like we pretty much deserved to lose this game.

After seeing last week's defense, this week's was a huge letdown. Sure, Miami might be destined to be a bottom 4 team but I don't really thing that Denver is a top 5 teams in the league, either. Sure, we had a lot of players not play due to injury. Sure, we had the water boy playing CB for the 2nd half since all of our players were hurt or out but, man, our defense gave me shivers down my spiine as to how easily they let Denver move the rock.

That said, as someone else pointed out, after the 1st drive the 2nd half, they did not let Denver score again so.....in the end, the defense did its job but I do not feel good about how they played.

However, the offense? I am not ready to give Danny Dimes a contract extension yet but a second good game in our offense was refreshing! Spreading the ball, hitting folks in stride, not throwing up hero balls for whoever to catch! He has been very, very good and the offense has responded. it is fun watching these guys and it has been a while since I could say that.

The playcalling on the last drive? WTF was Shane thinking? Man, I hope Irsey rips his head off for his play calling on the last drive. We are at the fricking 40 yard line, not the 20 yard line. So aggressive during the game and so passive in playcalling at the end. The penalty bailed us out.

We have the Titans next week in Nashville. They have scored exactuly half the points through two games that we have (62 to 31) so if our offense can continue to click, I like that I think we can outsprint them. Their defense has let up 53 points (26.5 per game) vs us having given up 36 points (18.0 per game) so, again, I like the trendline. If we continue to perform even like we did this past week against Denver, I like our chances.

Go Colts!
