Missed today's Broncos game. Go figure. More than a little concerned about the injuries piling up on defense.

Well I certainly am starting to think that the Texans are the third best team in their Division. Indy is clearly better, and I think the Titans are as well. Have to think they will have a different QB next year in Houston.

Russel Wilson was out of the JAC game with 5 mins to go in the 3rd quarter, so I expect Manning to do the same if Fox is smart.
Still, shouldn't have an issue covering the 28 point current spread.
Tough loss for Seattle; the first half they could well have been up by a lot more than they were, narrowly missing the TD on the punt block, and the 10 point swing on the blocked FG against.
Second half would've then been called differently from both teams if Seattle's lead was 2+ scores was it well could've been. Full credit to Luck for coming back, but Seattle let this slip away after a dominant first half.
Seatttle gets TEN next week, hopefully they have Miller back as Wilson's safety valve and the O line gives Wilson more confidence to throw the ball. Good, if going to lose, to do it against a non conference, and, to the team that also beat SF for tiebreakers down the road. Gutting out that win in HOU last week is much bigger now.
Missed Broncos game today (really upset about that) but my concerns of the defense really came to take place today. This type of game is not a good sign for this team if they want to make it the conference finals at least in the playoffs.
Congrats, Colts are looking good. Just goes to show how far tanking only one season combined with smart player/coaching personnel moves can go.
Yeah although that season they didn't tank really. Curtis Painter was our QB and he sucked big time. If Manning/Luck would have been QB, 2-14 would have been .500 at minimum. But yeah they are stepping up and playing as a group.
A lot of credit as to go to GM Grigson. Just some amazing pickups. Getting Freeman from the CFL was a great move on defense as was getting Landry (currently injured but a great player).
Reggie is Reggie but TY Hilton is turning into a solid receiver. On pace for a 1,000+ yard season and he has dynamite speed.
On defense, what can be said about Robert Mathis? Guy is still a beast and got his 100th career sack tonight (30th player to do so). It's fun watching these guys compete.
Interesting to see how the AFC plays out. Lots of teams have the talent to go far.

Yeah, Seattle was pretty dominant up until the Hilton bomb that gave the Colts some life. Then that 2nd huge play on the blocked FG changed the game. I thought Indy did a much better job in the 2nd half. Seattle does a good job on the short game and has a solid defense. Luck did a great job of going over the top to get Hilton open. Sherman took the bait on the 1st TD as Hilton was going to cut but then just darted down the field, and Hilton beat out Browner on a perfectly placed ball on the 2nd TD. Seattle is a solid football team and will be in the mix. I think they will bounce back well vs Tennessee next week. Was impressed with the mobility of Wilson. Was frustrating in the 1st half seeing him run everywhere.

Denver and Peyton have been fairly impressive, but they've also had a really easy schedule. The best team they've played was Baltimore, and they're nothing to write home about. When they play some good teams it will be interesting to see how they manage.
Before anyone says anything, the Chiefs are in the same boat.
havent looked at their schedule but we might have an 0-16 team in Jacksonville... they are just that bad.. when a fanbase cries out for Tebow, you know it is bad.
The twitter war figures to be more entertaining than the game.
