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...
