Without a studies secondary to recounts slow him down, Gore broke it for a long gain.The second was on the 49ers’ touchdown with less than a minute left in the half. The Colts couldn’t get a rush and the defensive backs were playing softer than normal. Alex Smith looked sharp, but that’s easier to do when you have time and your receivers are free to release.However, by the second half the Colts put the clamps down on San Francisco. Gore managed just 27 yards on his other 12 carries, phenomenal for a back of his quality. Smith ended the game with very pedestrian numbers, 19-for-32 198 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. The Colts registered four sacks, with the defensive end tandem of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis both recording one each in the second half.Defenses win championships Maybe even in Indianapolis.6. Final thoughts on the game?For the 49ers, I hope they give Singletary time.

He was one of the most respected linebackers in his playing days and it’s obvious he’s got the team believing they can win any game . They have now taken both Indianapolis and Minnesota to the wire . They need more offensive talent, but this team can win by next year.As for the Colts, they need to play in these types of games sometimes We’ve seen it before when teams win a lot of easy games Brooks & Dunn tickets – brooks-dunn . Some complacency can set in and some teams can panic under fire . I know this team has a reputation of not panicking, but it’s nice to see it demonstrated nonetheless Brooks & Dunn tickets – brooks-dunn .5 A couple of Colts related news items during the week so far The first, linebacker Tyjuan Hagler is out for the year Big impact?I feel bad for Hagler.

He had been playing the best football of his young career.From the Colts’ standpoint, it’s a loss they can handle Philip Wheeler will step up Wheeler played well in the 49er game, registering a sack He’s fast and can make plays . He’s very similar in style to Clint Session, who has been playing very well . I’d like to see a little more discipline in Wheeler on his pursuit angles, but otherwise he’s the next man up.4 Edgerrin James was released by the Seahawks . With Brown being hurt, any chance in the Colts signing him?There’s a better chance of me being invited to a Viking tailgate party.Seriously, the only way the Colts sign the Edge is to one of those ceremonial one-day contracts when James decides to hang it up.That said, I don’t think James is ready to Nor should he . Maybe it was the emotion of the moment, but in spot duty, I thought James looked to have some gas left in the game against the Colts Remember, Seattle’s line is in shambles right now Adrian Peterson would struggle with that line Brooks & Dunn tickets . A playoff team in need of quality back to carry the ball 10-15 times would do a lot worse than James.And as much as I’d hate to admit it, he’d be a good fit for Pittsburgh right now.3 On to the Texans, who are suddenly 5-3 and looking good Are they contenders in the AFC South?Possibly. I can’t see the Colts dropping four or more games and the Texans winning out.In the next four weeks, the Texans and Colts match up twice.

I believe the first game, this Sunday in Indianapolis, is for the division The second, on Nov . 29 in Reliant Stadium, will be for the Texans’ playoff chances.If the Colts win this Sunday, it puts them four games up in the division with the initial tie-breaker against Houston . The division may be essentially over by Sunday night.If the Colts also win the Nov . 29 game, the Texans suddenly have five losses in a very competitive AFC.If the Titans can split, then their schedule is suddenly very favorable .

They could conceivably be 10-4 going into their last two games (at Miami, home against New England).2 How do the Colts matchup with the Texans? Very well I’ve jokingly referred to the Texans before as Indy Lite . They rely on a talented passing game and their running game is built to be efficient, not dominating . Defensively, they are anchored by a pass rushing defensive end and focus on team speed to make plays.Sounds a little like Indianapolis, doesn’t it?Offensively, the Colts are better in nearly every area Manning is more consistent than Matt Schaub . Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson are premier receivers flanked by underrated contributors, the Texan’s Kevin Walter and the Colts’ Austin Collie.The key to both passing attacks, though, is tight end . Both Dallas Clark and Owen Daniels are quality tight ends capable of making plays and opening up space for the wide receivers.Because of that, the season-ending injury to Daniels could be the deciding factor of the game. Daniels is second on the team in receptions and leads the team in touchdowns His productivity will be missed. Walter and Johnson will have to step up for Schaub to continue is record-setting yardage pace.Steve Slaton, who torched the Colts last year, seems to be in coach Gary Kubiak’s doghouse, which is probably good news for Indianapolis.Defensively, I do like the Texans’ linebacking corps.
