Colts 31, Lions 21

View this gallery at IndyStar: Colts vs. Lions: Action


Okay, that's seven in a row. Let's beat Jacksonville on Thursday to avenge our 23-21 loss from back in September and secure a playoff berth.

By the way, Pro Bowl selections were announced. Peyton Manning is the starting quarterback for the AFC...yawn. Freeney is also a starter, and I was happy to see Robert Mathis selected as a back-up. Don't forget Reggie Wayne, also a back-up.  Eli Manning will be the back-up quarterback for the NFC, which is kinda cool.  Kudos to Kurt Warner; didn't see that coming.

Speaking of the Pro Bowl, I heard something rather disturbing the other day.  There's talk of moving the Pro Bowl to the weekend before the Superbowl.  WHAT??  Are they crazy?  That, to me, is just a recipe for injury disaster.  Not to mention, they want to hold it in the Superbowl host city.   I'm as happy as the next guy that Indy has the 2012 Superbowl, but c'mon...  If we're rewarding these guys for a job well done, I can't really say this is where I'd send them.

Peyton? Really? I did not know that. Meh. Rivers and Cutler both had better years, but Rivers is a tool, so who wants him in the Pro Bowl?

Warner had a huge year and I'm glad for the old guy, too... especially since I had Boldin on my FF team and they scored me many points this year.

I don't see the Colts getting far in the playoffs (sorry). Pittsburgh and Tennessee are better teams. But then, the Colts are on a tear right now, so you never know. Any given Sunday.
