Q3 - 6:33: Denver seems to be moving the ball well. Cutler seems to be calming down.

Jonathan, let's move these over to the 2nd half open thread (new post)!

Awesome stuff man!

Some notes on the first half...

Although we had a GREAT 1st Quarter, our 3rd down conversion percentage has dropped back to 50% vs Indy's 75%. That tells you how Indy was able to get back in this game despite Denver out gaining them 149 yards to 63 yards on the ground.

The other thing that has allowed Manning to get two quick scores has been our (once again) terrible kick-off coverage. Both of those scoring drives came after great field position on returns we should have NEVER given up.

Time of Possession has balanced out a bit after Manning's two scoring drives and now sits at 16:50 to 11:47.

---

Now, we need to come out in the Second Half and control the game like we did with our ground game in the 1st quarter.

Q2 - 2:00: We're stopped on a 3rd and 2 as Henry can't get it done. We have to punt for the first time this game... I really don't like giving Manning the ball back with 2 minutes on the clock! :(

Q2 - 3:49: Well, we have a great chance to show what we can do in 3 and half minutes. We need at least a FG to gain the lead again. 13-14.

2Q - 3:49: TD for INDY. Darn it! It was close to a sack, but Manning is good enough (and so was Clark) to make it work for them. :(

Weird... Elam was just shown on the sidelines getting work done on his leg... hope it's not serious.

3:07 -- a field goal is better than nothing but it is not what we wanted there. Still, that was good possession time. With this kind of a game, we are relying on our special teams to set up bad field position for the Colts, and so far that is shaky. This game, if it keeps going as it is now, could come down to special teams.

2Q - 8:29: Elam coming out to kick it from the 4 yard line. It's good. 13 to 7.

3:04 -- Cutler took a few plays to get into rhythm but now he's looking pretty darn good. Colts defense is getting a little better against the run though, hopefully we can keep it moving.
