I was in a pretty foul mood but Defoe's brace against Charlton cheered me up. I honestly didn't expect the Colts to progress any further than the next round with the number of key injuries we have. You never want to lose, though, and losing to a club like the Jets is even tougher to stomach. The New York Jets must be among the stupidest teams in the NFL. The decisions they made were comical. They were really trying to hand the Colts the game. And their quarterback, Sanchez, is terrible. Talent-wise they are certainly a formidable group, however; more talented as a whole than Indianapolis. That being said my two whining bitter fan complaints are:
1. Jacob Tamme was clearly interfered with on the 5 yard line. The safety went THROUGH him to "make a play on the ball" - which is interference no matter how you cut it. That would have given the Colts a 1st down and almost definitely 6 points rather than a field goal. Game over.
2. Taj Smith running into the punter with less than 3 minutes to go cost us two precious timeouts - and possibly the game. What a retard! My wife cringed when she saw that because she knew a rant was imminent...
Oh well, I knew this season was a long shot anyway with the entire secondary decimated, Dallas Clark & Austin Collie out. Don't really know who to root for now. I guess I'll pull for an NFC team to win - maybe the winner of the Falcons/Packers game next week. My original Super Bowl prediction of Packers over Ravens is still possible, but unlikely. Looks like either the Steeler or Patriots will represent the AFC... gag me
