Kyle Boller sucks ass. He has more interceptions than completions on two possessions.

There are other examples of what happens when Peyton is out. Peyton leaving the game is almost literally the only way that the Colts will be blown out. The worst Colts games of the last ten years, by point differential. All games where they were outscored by 14 or more are in here. Games with Manning out are in bold.
(2011) Saints 62, Colts 7
(2006) Jaguars 44, Colts 17 (Maurice Jones-Drew: 303 all-purpose yards)
(2011) Texans 34, Colts 7
(2009) Bills 30, Colts 7 (Manning left with score 7-7, Colts were 14-1 and the #1 seed)
(2010) Chargers 36, Colts 14
(2008) Packers 34, Colts 14
(2004) Broncos 33, Colts 14 (Jim Sorgi game. Manning scores 49 the next week.)
(2002) Steelers 28, Colts 10
(2002) Giants 44, Colts 27 (Amani Toomer: 204 yards, 3 TD)
(2008) Bears 29, Colts 13
(2005) Seahawks 28, Colts 13 (Sorgi)
(2003) Broncos 31, Colts 17
(2009) Jets 29, Colts 15 (Painter)
That's it. That's every game the Colts lost by 14 points or more. I suspect that this list is going to get a lot longer this season.Last edited by Jaguar; October 24, 2011, 11:16."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

The 62 points allowed is, of course, the worst points allowed for the Colts in the last ten years. The second-worst game was against the 2004 Chiefs. 45-35. Manning passed for 472 yards and five touchdowns, and lost."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won.

Yeah, looks like they may have given up. Plus, New Orleans was really PO'd after losing to Tampa last week.
As for Caldwell, I imagine his leash grows shorter by the week. But I will give him props for getting 5 TD throws out of Curtis Painter (vs only 4 turnovers), which I consider pretty remarkable. The guy's kind of a stiff.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

These days, no coach or player would tank games. With the proliferation of books authored by former athletes, it would never stay buried.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
