The New York Jets, also known as The Why Nots, traveled to the plains of Indiana blustering with confidence; and why not? Winning two consecutive games, going away, and on the road will do that for a team. They were even up 17-6 with 2:11 in the 2nd and then…
Peyton Manning closed the game in a fashion reminiscent of former Oakland A’s Pitcher Dennis Eckersley. Indy ran off 24 unanswered to end the game and vanquish the upstart Jets. The Colts are demonstrating intense focus. It may be time for Indy fans to think about letting Coach Jim Caldwell off the hook for not going for 16-0.
As for the Jets, the future is bright. Their defense and running game are set, and by the end of the season, young Mark Sanchez looked like a credible quarterback.
But the “now” belongs to Indy.
What a wonderful mess that night game was. Did every offensive player for Minnesota have a fumble? Apparently Brett Favre is/was bound and determined to end it with a bad interception at a critical juncture. There just is no other explanation for his interception late in regulation that doomed his team’s chances of go-ahead points late in the game.
On the Brett Favre Network, it was not as sad as one might think…. They think he’s going to give it one more go ‘round! You can bet that the rumor mill is going to start churning out McNabb to Minnesota rumors. That would be surprising if Vikings brass would pay the likely 1st and 2nd, if not 2 firsts price the Eagles will be demanding.
It is good that the Pro-Bowl is this weekend. Now guys that would have played in the Super Bowl and then sat out the Pro-Bowl don’t look like that arrogant one that turned down the honor. These guys officially have an alibi. However what’s bad about it is that it will be played on the same field as the Super Bowl. The belief here is that Chargers Kicker Nate Kaeding should skip the festivities.
In an update on our training progress for The D-train Run to Run the Ball, let’s just say progress was made. Today’s goal: 800 meters!
