Not getting my hopes up on this one. Playing a winning team that is coming off a bye is usually not a good spot to be in. It would be a nice surprise if they won but this looks like a letdown game.

Staff has been awful today. I was just about to get my hopes up about this team before this game. Thanks for resetting my expectations, Colts.

Pretty much waht I expected. What surprised me was the horrible game plans on bothe sides of the ball. Offense was way too conservative for the 3rd straight game. Everyone knows it is run up the middle on 1st down. The plan againstr a defense like the colts is screen, screen, fake screen and throw down field. Their front 4 pass rushes on every single play. Everyone knows it and yet still our plan was run up the middle the whole first half.

Defense was not as bad but our LBs suck and cant cover a RB. The game plan was also way off here too. They should have clogged the middle with DBs and forced Rivers to throw outside. Also play press coverage and blitz up the middle. Those rub routes are easy when you know they are coming. Because the rubs are inside 5 yards, just blast the WR that is crossing and switch off the coverage.

Terrible all around today but hopefully this game was a wake up call.

Fulgham was looking pretty damn solid today.

Can't believe Stafford has been here 12 seasons and at times you would think he's a rookie! The Lions blow hard...It pains me to say it

Fulgham was looking pretty damn solid today.

He is decent but Philly has a ton of injuries so he is getting action. Once the starters get back he will not be the top guy there. He would not even be number 5 on the Lions. KG, MJ2, Hall, Amendola, are all better then him and even Cephus is as good. And I am not including Hock in that list.
