Colts VS Ravens, They aren't over it

Woo Hoo, we have clinched a spot in the playoffs with last night's impressive win over the Ravens. But that is just a first step in what is a much loftier goal for our beloved Colts. We all know the ultimate goal is to reapeat as Super Bowl Champions.

Last night's exhibition shows that the team is gettiing stronger and starting to play it's best football when it counts. Although still shorthanded on both offens and defense, the Colts showed they can put up points and keep the other team from doing the same. The one major flaw in this team continues to be special teams, specifically kick coverage. Could we just please stop a big return once? Special teams did have some great moments, blocking the punt for a safety, and downing a punt inside the five yard line. So I guess the good news is that if the only flaw this team has is kick coverage, we can work on it in these next three weeks.

Congratulations to Anthony Gonzales for FINALLY getting his first career touchdown. Congratulations to Peyton for throwing 4 TD passes. And although Addai didn't have that many yards, he did score three times, great job.

Now let's talk defense, how many take aways? I think I lost count. They were fierce, sacks, interceptions, big hits, WOW!!

It was great to see Sorgi get a few reps as well, hopefully we won't ever NEED to have him, but it's nice to see he can run the offense.

Now getting to the Baltimore organization and fans. I guess they are not over the Colts moving. They continue with the ridiculous practice of refusing to put "COLTS" on the scoreboard, instead putting "INDY". WHATEVER. They really need to move on, maybe then they could have a decent team of their own. You need to live in the present, not the past.

Special thanks to Gordon38 and Clove700 for making the evening fun, it's always great to get together with some MYCOLTS.NET friends.

I see these final three weeks as a time for our team to continue to get healthier and to gel into the powerful playoff team from last year. Share you thought on how you see Tnoy playing these next three weeks, will he rest the starters, bring Marvin back or play everyone?

It is so funny that I just join the mycolts.net and this is the first blog that I have read. I have been a Colt fan ever since I could remember. My parents even had season tickets for the Baltimore Colts at the old War Memorial Stadium. I remember my mom telling me stories about how mean the fans were down there, of even how they would beat up people who didnt wear the colors. I can also say that it broke my moms heart that morning when she turned on the TV to see the trucks leaving the city. It broke her heart that bad that she even stopped watching football for quite a few years after that, but eventually she got over it and came to her senses. She even tried to get into the Ravens but just couldn't because deep down she was still a true die hard Colt fan. So you can imagine how excited she was (as was I) when I got tickets to Sunday's game. I wore my colors proudly and was glad that for the most part people left me alone. With only the occasional jab. Being from Pa I get to go to Philly too and their fans are rude and arrogent but Raven fans are just plan strange and crazy. Needless to say that at the end of the first quarter the stands emptied out and me and my mom could enjoy the game feeling free to cheer when Manning completed a pass. It was a great experiance that I would do again anytime. Next time I want to go to Foxboro with my Manning jersey in full display.

Yea, I agree about the Ravens fans needing to live in the present and not the past... I saw a few "Colts suck" t-shirts and the like, but surprisingly there were A LOT of Colts fans at the game!! :)
