The seasons not over yet



So the colts aren't 8-0, it's not so bad. They still lead the AFC south and they still have a promising look on the rest of the season. One of the big reasons why they lost yesterday was the lack of depth that the colts had in their receivers. Addai ended up taking the blunt of the offense on his shoulders, were he went for 112 yards on the ground and another 114 yards receiving. Thanks for the shoulders Joe. The Colts didn't have Marvin Harrison in the game and this really does limit the amount of talent they have on the field. What I mean by this is that with Marvin out of the game Reggie Wayne is now the primary receiver. Wayne's good, but I don't think he is good enough yet to be the primary receiver. Also with Harrison’s absences the Colts now have to rely more on the rookie Gonzalez, and the slot receiver Clark, to come up and be a reliable receivers. Another reason why the Colts didn't win was it seemed as though Peyton was never comfortable the whole game. I mean yea he had his shinning moments, but for the majority of the game he seemed uneasy. Again a big factor of that would have to be the absences of Harrison. Without Harrison on the field the Patriots could play more of a zone defense and didn't really have to key on more then one person. Were if they did have Harrison they would have to worry about not only Harrison but also Wayne.

But like I said in the beginning it's not the end of the world. The colts will still make the playoffs. They will make it to the AFC championship game. The only bad thing is now they probably won't get home field advantage if they end up playing the Pats for the AFC championship. So Colts fans have no fear, still believe in your Colts, just this time around the Colts will have to disappoint the Patriots fans at New England.
