Colts v. Giants week 2

• Fly4Fun

  

  I'm surprised by the lack of threads of non-area teams on.
  
  But c'mon... people should always try to watch the Colts.
  
  Peyton Manning doing his thing and just orchestrated a gorgeous drive.
  
  They started on their 2 yard line... he kept reading the defense and calling for run play after run play. At about mid-field with the defense lulled to sleep he threw a perfect pass to Dallas Clark off a play fake for the TD.
  
  He just runs that Colts offense so well it's so much fun to watch.
  
  14-0 Colts

  Peyton is so good. Ran the same running play 3 times during that drive, then ran it again with PAP and got the TD you just talked about.

  If the Colts are able to get ANOTHER score on the board before half-time (after the Eli sack-fumble), game over.
• Fly4Fun

  

  He's freaking surgical running that offense.
  
  24-0 Colts at half

  Fun to watch, but sometimes you wish he wouldnt be so good. Makes the games boring.
• Fly4Fun

  

  Eh, kind of...
  
  But if he wasn't running that show I wouldn't watch. There are a few teams players that I enjoy to watch just because of how good they are (Peyton Manning, Randy Moss, AP 2 seasons ago and Chris Johnson last season). Even if this game was for example the Houston Texans vs. Washington Redskins from earlier today I wouldn't be watching despite it being a close exciting game (especially end).

  ^^^Yeah, it was tongue in cheek. People get so accustomed to him doing what he does that when he goes 22/32 for 286 a TD and INT we wonder if he is starting to "get old" or whatever.

  By the way
  
  With 3/8 17 yards and 1 INT Eli manning had a rating of 2.8
  
  I'm willing to bet he raises that a little in the second half.
• Fly4Fun

  

  Haha, after I mention that Eli caps off a drive with a huge (54 yards) pass play to Mario Manningham to get the TD.

  What happened with Jacobs? I just turned it on and they were talking about him tossing his helmet into the crowd? lol

  The clown tried to "bounce it outside" and being the big lumbering slow guy he is he got no where. I think he was frustrated and meant to throw his helmet at the bench or wall and it slipped out of his hand and went into the stands.
  
  Dude's gotta learn his role. He's not the kind of back where he can bounce it outside and beat someone to the corner.

  I'm loving the commentary just ripping into the Giant's game plan.
  
  Not running the ball straight at the Colt's D.
  
  Not adjusting to stop the Colts from running the ball down their throat.
  
  Not getting any help to at least slow down Dwight Freeney.

  Colts defense looks like a completely different unit tonight (knock on wood). But the Giants are also not the Texans.
