Ugoh? Keiaho? So?
Sep 6, 2007 Peyton Manning's lovelife, Preview, Teams that aren't the Texans, Winner winner chicken dinner
It dawned on me this morning that I hadn’t finished my countdown to nine wins. So, here they are–wins 8 and 9. Yes, I am totally mailing this one in.
For an explanation of what the heck I’m talking about, look here.
Win #8–Week 16 @ Indianapolis. Here’s the deal–I think all the talk of the Colts’ demise is greatly overblown. Yeah, they lost Tarik Glenn, but they have a talented (if not polished) rookie in Tony Ugoh to fill his shoes and–much more importantly–they have a great o-line coach and a QB who is fantastic at avoiding sacks (at least the football kind). On defense, they lost a few parts, but it’s not near enough to matter. Hell, they improved by getting rid of Cato June and letting Freddie Keiaho play.
And that is exactly why we will win. By week 16, the Colts should more or less have their playoff positioning set. Which means they will have no need to play their starters very much, if at all, especially on offense. We, on the other hand, should be scrapping for those last few wins to push us over .500. That’s a solid combination.
Win #9–Week 17 v. Jacksonville. I have zero explanation for our continued success against the Jags. It’s inexplicable. Yet, we keep winning against them. So, I’m just calling the two matchups a split this year because I am nearly certain we will win one of them. That’s how we roll.
