WOW!!!
NO New England, NO Dallas, NO San Diego, NO Minnesota, NO Pittsburgh...but there is one NO left...New Orleans is still there...and they are in a prime positions to win this Sunday's game versus the Colts.
This will not be a cake though, the Saints will be facing yet again another hall of fame quarterback. I cannot think of a postseason where I team has had to potentially beat 3-1st-Ballot-Hall of Fame Quarterbacks. Kurt Warner is the only questionable quarterback and the question is more "when" than "if". But that is a discussion for another time. Between Warner, Brett Farve, and Peyton Manning it is hard to get a better trio of quarterbacks and resumes in the business of quarterbacking. Relatively speaking the first two were easy compared to Manning. Farve and Warner are [...]

Now that the NFL’s final four has been set, an array of interesting storylines emerge. Each team has its own story, own reason for making the super bowl interesting. Here’s a look at the stories going on beyond the facts and figures.
Indianapolis
Holding the top record in the NFL at 14-2. Indianapolis has probably the most pressure of any team in this round. The Colts have (by far) the most recent super bowl victory or even just appearance of any of the four teams involved. They have an MVP quarterback and a superior record.
So why the concern and pressure? First of all, they shook some, but not all of the concern regarding the team’s concept of benching starters to prevent injury and rest them up. They came out strong and soundly defeated the [...]

The Bills capped off the end of the 2009-10 season with a snow storm of a victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts 30-7. I must admit, I was quite pleased with the effort the Bills put into this game being they were not going to face all the great talent on the Colts roster. Why did the Bills not face the talent you may ask? Well, the Colts are in the playoffs with a first-week bye and home-field advantage throughout. Of course, all of us know what the Bills will be doing this off-season, right?
Regardless of the off-season, the Bills and their players put up wonderful and somewhat impressive numbers last Sunday. The key components to the victory were the offense found the end zone, Bills QB, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw no interceptions and the defense actually tackled and somewhat [...]

Brian Brohm played his first game with high expectations all around him, but let the Bills faithful down. Of course, being in New York for the holidays, I was surrounded by people that didn't really expect much from the quarterback or the offensive line that blocks for him. This would be Brohm's first start in the NFL since being drafted by the Packers in the 2008 draft out of Louisville. It is a good thing no one was expecting much, because he never found the end-zone nor did the rest of the team.
Brohm finished the game with 146 passing yards on 17-of-29 passing attempts and two interceptions and no touchdowns. The no touchdowns would also spread throughout the rest of the offense like the H1N1 virus. Bills starting running back Fred Jackson only managed to compile a whopping 39 [...]

Colts defensive end Robert Mathis practiced today to prepare for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Mathis made the Pro Bowl last year.
He missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday due to a quad injury and is labeled as questionable.I hope Mathis will play, who could well be on his way to another Pro Bowl, alongside with Dwight Freeney.
Other Injury News
Ryan Diem did not practice, labeled as questionable.
Charlie Johnson practiced today after not playing last week. Questionable
Out for game: Donald Brown, Aaron Francisco, Anthony Gonzalez, and Adam Vinatieri

Well, our Houston Texans failed their biggest test to date in their young football career. They failed to best the Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday, and fell to 5-4 on the season.
By now, all of you probably know how the game played out, but let me recap the game right quick. The Texans came out flat and gave up 10 points before the offense got on track. They had 9, count them 9, penalties in the first half and only managed to put up 3 points in the half. Then came half time. The Texans came out in the second half firing on all cylinders. They put up 17 unanswered points to take the lead. The defense shut down Manning and co., until the end on the 4th quarter, when Manning connected with Addai for the go ahead score. The Texans drove down again, but an interception of [...]

Before we get into Monday nights game, I' like to say sorry I didn't have any updates after the Atlanta game. I was simply too disgusted with the sloppiness I saw on the field. The reason for the loss was fairly simple: we gave away too many opportunities. Whether it was whiffing on blocks, poor tackling, missed assignments, or turning the ball over, it looked like the Dolphins didn't want to win this game. We actually outgained the Falcons 4.6 yards per play vs. 4.3 yards per play- the difference being that Atlanta ran 65 plays to the Dolphins 56- mainly due to two untimely fumbles, and and interception that killed promising drives and lead to Atlanta points. A stout run defense that held the Falcons to 2.5 YPC kept us in the game, but our young secondary gave up too many plays [...]

In a defensive battle, the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning were able to pull out a narrow victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Many Jaguars fans may be happy with the outcome of this game. After an off-season led by the word "rebuilding" many counted the Jaguars out before the game began.
As the game went on, it was apparent that this is one tough, rebuilt team.
With four rookies in the starting lineup, Derek Cox highlighted the group by intercepting Peyton Manning in the red zone in what looked to be a sure Colts score.
Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton both played well, however, Monroe struggled greatly at the end of the game.
With the score 14-12, Garrard had a chance to lead the team down the field for a possible game-winning field [...]

Indianapolis Colts 18, New England Patriots 15
Classic Colts-Patriots: you had New England eating up the clock and controlling the tempo, Peyton Manning making all the big plays through the air, Adam Vinatieri deciding it with a 52-yard field goal and Bill Belichick barely shaking Tony Dungy’s hand afterward.
The Patriots lost this game, but a huge positive that stood out was [...]
