Colts....7
Saints..62

Jeez, what a demolition job. When was the last time an NFL team scored 62 points?

The Saints outscored the Rams tonight.

The Rams season.

As for the Colts, I'm not sure that they were a playoff team with Manning. They seemed to be trending down toward a 9-7 or 8-8 year with him. As for without him, the results tonight speak for themselves.

After the colt's beatdown people where chanting peyton manning for M-V-P..... wow what a year for the colts

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

I'm not sure which loss is worse? The Colts beatdown or Miami losing a 15 point lead with 3 minures left?

Okay, it's the Colts beatdown.

The Colts organization should be ashamed of itself. Even without Manning there are a lot of veterans on that team. It truly is as if they are losing on purpose to get Luck.

Remember, this is the same organization in 1984 that had 15 Mayflower trucks pull up to its facilities in Baltimore and move the team to Indianapolis in the dead of night. Shameful!

Well what about the Raiders not even being able to score? At least the Colts scored. .

Marshawn Lynch failed me yesterday!! Basically, my fantasy team was three core players, out of 9...and Lynch's absence didn't help. And to add insult to injury, I benched Tolbert for Lynch. But it all worked out and got the victory.

Sproles has been a great Flex spot choice for me. He really helped me out.

Congrats on the Saint win last night.

Yeah, against the juggernaut known as the Chiefs! See my post #11890.

This will go down as the most embarrassing loss of the regular season by any team given the expectations and the opponent played.

EDIT: My Vikings play your Panthers next week. A colossal matchup of titans.

In Tim Tebow we trust!

After doing some research, that's the most points in a regular season game since 1985 when the New York Jets edged Tampa Bay 62-28.

It's gonna gonna be interesting. I thought for sure it would be Carolina's game but Ponder surprised me yesterday and well Carolina defense loves getting penalties (11 I think we had yesterday).

Tebow played horribly yesterday, part of me thinks its because of John Fox conservative play calling, and the other part is him just getting use to playing with his young receiving group. but ultimately its his 4th quarter performance that gives me hope that he will stay our QB of the future

hopefully he works on getting better for 4 quarters because he wont be able to do that against good teams

Part of it was the conservative game plan they put in for Tebow...but did you guys see some of the wobbly passes he threw? That pass he threw to Daniel Fells that got them to the goal line was clutch...but damn it if it wasn't the ugliest duck I've ever seen completed.

if it gets the job done i dont care how it looks

im just hoping he improves and gets off to a faster start in game so it wont be stressfull watching the final minutes of a Broncos game

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's all about winning and a win is a win, but will he be the long term answer at QB for the Broncos?

 

[ProgMatinee]

While Tebow looks pretty bad on a lot of throws, my optimistic side likes that he didn't throw any INTs and he didn't try to throw a lot of balls into tough coverage. I'd rather have him over throw than throw the INT.

Some of the play calling was bad, as well as some of the pass blocking was bad.

Next week vs Detroit is going to be a huge test for both Tebow and the O Line.

I'm hoping for a better mix of play action from the coaching staff. They called too many designed Tebow runs that were too obviousy Tebow runs. Make him roll out to the left with some PA and give him options. I'd like to see a reverse with Royal lined on the left of Tebow, as Tebow rolls to the left hand off to Royal going to the right.

That throwback screen for the TD was an inspired call, though.
