Figured I'd get it started early today.

Somehow my Illini (who have been pathetic all year) managed to blow-out Michigan.  Let's keep my good weekend going...GO COLTS!!!

What I hope for today:

1) A victory

2) A comfortable victory (no sweating at the end like the Jacksonville game or the Miami game.)

3) No injuries

4) The running game to get going

5) A 300+ yard, 3+ TD day for Peyton

6) +3 in the turnover battle

7) Buffalo to beat Houston

8) Tennessee to beat Jacksonville

9) Oakland to beat San Diego

LET'S GO BLUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know the list of Inactives today? I am assuming Gonzo, Brown, and Ugoh are all on the list.

It won't be released for another hour or so.

Wanted to share this that I saw just before bed last night. From ESPN's Bill Simmons:

COLTS (-12.5) over Niners
Five weeks ago, I promised to keep riding the Saints until they lost. Then I took the Dolphins last week. Stupid? Of course. Well, I'm going to make up for it by riding the Colts until they lose. That's the best team in football. Right now, anyway.

(That reminds me: More than a few Colts fans thanked me during signings this week for "coming around on Peyton" or "finally appreciating Peyton." As if I had been irrationally biased against him this entire time. Look, you can't tell me Manning didn't reinvent himself to some degree in 2008 and 2009. I always thought he was the A-Rod of football: great when it didn't matter, sketchy when it did. You may disagree. But that's how I felt. This season, he has reached "I will never, ever, EVER bet against that guy in a night game" status. Which is saying something. He owns that team. Owns it. I love rooting against the Colts, but when someone owns a team to that degree, how can you not appreciate it? I mean, it's unclear if Jim Caldwell is even alive. For all we know, Manning is doing the QB-coach thing like Paul Crewe in "The Longest Yard." Amazing season by him.)

He also makes a great point about Jeff Fisher only having six winning seasons out of 16.

Inactive:

Adam V., Ugoh, Jackson, Rushing, Gonzalez, Brown, Jamey Richard, Painter.

I wish the game would start already...friggin' Daylight Savings Time making us wait an extra hour.

It's been three weeks since I watched a Colts game and it sure feels like it. I'm rusty.

Auspicious beginning...big kick return and 6 yards for Gore on first down.

Silva returning punts is a disaster. Sun or no sun, drop or no drop don't pick it up and try to run.

The wonders of the roof being open.

I'm really sick of starting drives inside the 20.

Should of had him Peyton.

LETS GO COLTS!!!!!!

We're a mess right now.

Man, whether he was down or not, we've got a bad case of the fumbles today.

Who in the HECK designed this stadium??!!??!!

They just need to close that roof for every game, its now a competitive disadvantage to have it open, on TOP of being HORRIBLE for tv.

I think Dallas Clark was down...but a bad start.  Dallas should've gotten gotten the first, and Collie should've recovered.

GREAT punt by McAfee. I'm really starting to like this kid.

Very ugly start to this game. On the Davis incompletion the last drive, he pushed off Sanders, didn't matter since he didn't get his feet in, but it still bothers me that they didn't call something that obvious and out in the open.

Good punt coverage and there should've been a block in the back too.
