Well, today, the abysmal 2011 Colts managed to lose yet another game to keep their “perfect season” alive.
This afternoon, the Colts got blown out by the Bye Week, in what was a bit of a nail-biter. Through three quarters, we were tied at three apiece, but in the fourth quarter, the Bye Week pulled ahead thanks to our leaky, porous defense.
But, before we jump into the analysis, we’ll hand out our awards.
Blue Collar Award
This award goes to Pat “Deadly Footspike” McAfee for several touchbacks and 15 punts including that massive 74 yd punt late in the fourth with a minute left and us down by 3 touchdowns.
White Collar Award
Despite throwing 7 interceptions (2 on the same play) and going 2 for 15 for 1 yard, this award goes to Curtis Painter. He drew the Bye Weeks offside when they lost interest after halftime and wandered over to a vendor for a hot dog.
Now, with our analysis. This week’s theme, running a nonsensical Colts blog.

Pat Angerer was a beast. He got another 24 tackles today bringing his total for the season to 1.34 x 10 ˆ12.
Curtis Painter was only sacked eight times.
Jim Irsay tweeted some song lyrics and offered a riddle contest that made no sense.
Jim Caldwell made no half-time adjustments.
Only twenty-three guys got hurt, so we’ll be filling next week’s roster with a bunch of practice squad and waiver dudes.

Now, with this big loss behind us, we can start preparing for the Panthers to march into Lucas Oil Stadium and give us a beatdown next week. Another week of Upchuck for Luck. Until then, Go ‘Podes!
Indy is the new Miami, which was the new Detroit…
Couldn’t happen to a bigger Douche of an owner. We in Baltimore always said..pay backs are hell. No Peyton…No Colts, that’s what happens when your owner builds a team around one player. Hopefully Andy Luck will refuse to play for Jimmy ‘wrote a song about…here’s how it goes’.
Indy will be back to Rule the AFC soon, baby! To bad for you other sucka’s!!!
