Colts Lose Another One

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  I think these two say it all in describing the Indianapolis Colts second straight loss:

Kicker Adam Vinatieri, arguably one of the best guys to have in a clutch situation, missed not one but TWO field goals - including a chip shot of only 29 yards that would have given the Colts the lead with 1:31 left in the game.

Peyton "Don't You Just Love My Commercials" Manning threw a career-high SIX interceptions - three to Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie.  Guess he's Peyton's new "go to" guy!

Tony "What Was I Thinking" Dungy called a timeout with 1:34 left.  Whoops, it was the last timeout and now Peyton has no way to stop the clock when he gets the ball back with 22 seconds left.

Then there were the special teams.  And my, they certainly were special - allowing not one but two touchdowns by Chargers' return specialist Darren Sproles - one on a kickoff, the other a punt return.  In the first quarter, no less.

Yes, there was a bad call on a play that has been legal all season.  But that had little to do with last year's Super Bowl champions tanking two weeks in a row.  No, the Colts did themselves in.  And now they've opened the door for Jacksonville and Tennessee who are just one game back.  Things just got a little more interesting...

Yeah, don't you just love it when everything that can go wrong does go wrong--we've had our share of it with the Huskers this year, too. Fluffy, buy 2 boxes of those turnovers...

This is where it becomes hard to defend your title, injuries.  The Colts won't repeat because of injuries.  Look who all is down now.
