What an amazing piece of trivia from the Colts/Pats game

Peyton Manning's first sack at home came tonight, in Week Nine, against the New England Patriots in the fourth quarter. Again, this was the first time Manning had been sacked on his home turf all season.

By comparison, Marc Bulger's first sack at home came against Carolina in Week One, during the second quarter.

Just food for thought.

I can only imagine what a healthy Marc Bulger could do behind the Colts OL, or the Patriots for that matter.

maybe 30 td's and 3 ints?

...and the single biggest reason the Colts were undefeated heading into that game, and the Rams are, well........ winless. :x

But Bulger has taken a bunch of sacks this season that Manning would have never taken.

It is simple fact. If Bulger was behind an o-line like indy's ot new englands, things would be a lot diffrent. play calling would have to be better to. but you get the point. I belive P.Manning was sacked a total of 16 times last year. 16!!! If Bulger could go a season of just 16 sacks, thatd probably mean he wasnt hurried and hit as much also. Basically, we need an o-line that can protect Bulger as well at indy and new england.
