I'm not so sure the slow and steady approach is going to work against the Colts. It's not like they need a lot of time to score points. I think it was against the Titans last year, maybe the Dolphins where they didn't even have the ball for a full quarter and they still put up nearly 30 points and won. We need to put points on the board to win, as obvious as that sounds. And I think we're going to need a big score off of special teams and/or defense to pull off the win.
That was the Dolphins. What a great game, I'm watching thinking "this is the most efficient offense I've ever seen."

Per ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=schefter_adam&page=10spot/10week06).
Some statistics can be staggering, such as this: Since 2002, the Indianapolis Colts' road record -- 49-18 (.731 winning percentage) -- is better than the home record of every team in the NFL except New England. Pittsburgh is tough at home, and its record during that time is 47-18-1. Baltimore is tough at home, and its record during that time is 48-18. Neither is as good as Indianapolis on the road. Now the Colts are back on the road, where, amazingly enough, they have gone only 1-2 this season. They're in Washington to play the Redskins on Sunday night. Maybe Washington would be better playing at a neutral site, such as London.
That is sick! It makes me sick!

Confirmed: Colts wearing all white, so I'd expect B&G for us. Going to be a great-looking game, uniform-wise.

During "Puppy Picks" on our local tv news, the puppy picked the Colts to beat us. To be fair, the puppy is only 1-3 so far this year. He is hardly the sports expert that Paul the Octopus is.
