Yup. I was hoping the Niners would clinch before Thanksgiving, and they could've, but every team in the NFCW won last weekend.
How often does THAT happen!?

You know whats crazy? For the first time this year under a wave of super homerism I picked the Colts to win. Who knows. Coming off a bye against a crappy D with a mistake prone Cam Newton. Also the Panthers have not won on the road in ages.

I figure this is one of the few last chances to win a game and the Colts will hand the ball off if they are smart and try to gash a horrible run D. On defense try to unleash Freeney/Mathis on Cam.

Oh yes, I am a homer!!! But, this is crunch time or else the Colts can join the 2008 Lions soon.

Yeah you want them to only win this game, no fan of a team wants to see them join the 08 lions.

May not happen this weekend but it feels right to me ATM. I think they can muster up enough to beat one lousy team and time is ticking on lousy teams to play.

Run.The.Ball.
I heard Addai is back in practice so if he plays the run game should be good enough to ease the load for Finger Painter.

If they were committed to winning they would have made a claim on Orton. They have mailed it in this season.

Naw, I would not spend the money and time to have him learn the offense at this point in the year. Roll with the scrubs.....and maybe a win happens. Maybe not. But, maybe one does.

Heck, in 1997 an 0-10 Colts team beat the defending SB champion Packers in a stunner.
