Halftime. Colts 7, Titans 6.

10:00 p.m: We're gonna head to halftime standing pat.

9:59 p.m: Illegal hands to the face on the Colts and a first down for Tennessee and oh sweet Jesus CJ almost handed the ball right to a Colts player.

9:55 p.m: Hunter Smith punts and it's downed at the five yard line. I smell a conservative drive ahead of us.....

9:54 p.m: Titans get a stop on 3rd and long to force a punt from Indy as the clock runs to 1:32 before the Titans take their first timeout.

Two Minute Warning. Colts 7, Titans 6.

9:51 p.m: Jacob Ford makes a big stop in the backfield as the clock hits two minutes.

9:50 p.m: Titans pressure Manning but can't get to him as he hits Wayne for the first down across midfield. Just sack him already damn it.

9:48 p.m: Titans cheerleaders looking hot as the Colts run for the first down.

9:47 p.m: Manning hits Clark close to the first down marker. The Titans are getting no pressure whatsoever on Manning. This can't last much longer.

5:41 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. Colts 7, Titans 6.

9:43 p.m: Hentrich atones for his sins with a 74 yard punt aided by a Colts player who signaled for a fair catch, then didn't catch the ball. The Colts will take over on their own six.

9:42 p.m: Three and out for the Titans. I just don't get throwing a two yard pass when it's not even close to the sticks. Wake up jackasses.

7:59 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. Colts 7, Titans 6.

9:39 p.m: Chris Carr doesn't call a fair catch, which was risky as all get out but manages to gain a yard or two and the Titans will take over at their own 14 yard line.

9:37 p.m: Tony Brown stuffs Rhodes in the backfield leading to Tony Kornheiser saying "You know how they say What can Brown do for you? He can do that. Stop the play." That joke was worse than Seussical. As I typed this, Brown makes another play behind the line. 3rd and long for Indy.

9:36 p.m: Manning hits Clark around mid-field for a first down. Looked like to me like it hit the dirt but I guess I was mistaken.

11:19 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. Colts 7, Titans 6.

9:32 p.m: Collins has the ball batted again for an incomplete pass on 3rd down. Bironas misses a field goal wide left. Shit.

9:30 p.m: Collins hits a Colts player right in the hands off a tipped ball but he drops it. Tough break, you hate to see that.

9:29 p.m: CJ gets catch out of the backfield, makes a couple pretty moves and fumbles but the Titans recover...I guess. They didn't signal any other way.

9:28 p.m: INTERCEPTION! Tipped en route by Vincent Fuller and snagged by Chris Hope. After the dead ball, Unnecessary Roughness on Cortland Finnegan, which has to be his third or fourth this year. Titans take over on the 32.

9:25 p.m: Ganther is up on his feet but may not know what state he's in at the moment.

9:22 p.m: Huge hit on the sideline during the return. Helmet to helmet contact and Quinton Ganther went down and was not moving.

14:14 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. Colts 7, Titans 6.

9:19 p.m: Collins fires incomplete while under pressure on 3rd and 6 setting up a Bironas 44 yd FG attempt. As Bironas attempted, a pyro display went off but it still made it inside the upright.

End of the 1st Quarter. Colts 7, Titans 3.

9:15 p.m: Titans offensive line is struggling to block as LenDale gets knocked back for minus two.

9:13 p.m: Collins fires to Brandon Jones for the first down on 3rd and long. Coincidentally, this is the first time Brandon Jones has caught back to back passes....ever.

9:12 p.m: LenWhale drops a dump pass. Too much In And Out Burger.

9:11 p.m: Illegal contact on the Colts. First down Titans. I was going to say because that looked like it was to no one.

9:10 p.m: Another good return by Chris Carr as he takes it out near the Titans' 30 yard line.

3:27 remaining in the 1st Quarter. Colts 7, Titans 3.

9:07 p.m: Manning pressured but hits Clark for a touchdown. Haynesworth was in hot pursuit and put a lick on him but too late.

9:05 p.m: Manning hits Clark at the 10 yard line off the playfake. Ran right by Bulluck

4:48 remaining in the 1st Quarter. Titans 3, Colts 0.

9:03 p.m: Piss poor punt by Hentrich. Colts take over at the Titans' 42 yard line.

9:02 p.m: Run play to Johnson for nothing. Three and out. Weak.

9:01 p.m: First penalty of the night: Holding on Kevin Mawae, declined. 3rd and long for the Titans.

6:52 remaining in the 1st Quarter. Titans 7, Colts 0.

8:58 p.m: Fair catch by Chris Carr at the Titans' 9 yard line.

8:57 p.m: GREAT PLAY! Vincent Fuller did one hell of a job to catch up to the ball and bat it away from Reggie Wayne on third down to force a punt.

8:55 p.m: Manning hits Harrison across the middle for a first down. Didn't see anyone around him.

8:54 p.m: Manning breaks the huddle and the crowd gets loud and Rhodes gets jack squat for maybe a yard on the handoff to Rhodes.

8:52 p.m: Charlie Daniels looks like hell.
That is all.

9:43 remaining in the 1st Quarter. Titans 3, Colts 0


8:49 p.m: LenWhale in on a 3rd and 8 in a Shotgun formation, so you know it's a pass, we throw a stupid two yard dump to Scaife setting up a field goal attempt from 34 out which Bironas promptly drills.

8:47 p.m: Chris Johnson showing off a little power as he runs for a first down.

8:46 p.m: Collins hits Gage for a first down on 2nd and 3. Titans making it look easy so far.

8:44 p.m: Collins converts a 3rd and medium for a first down to Brandon Jones, who evidently, has hands.

8:42 p.m: Ball is walking off but looks to be in outer space right now.

8:41 p.m: Hell of a return by Chris Carr to the Titans 42 and Dave Ball is down on the return, who is starting in the place of the suddenly inactive Kyle Vanden Bosch, who even in street clothes is a frightening man.

8:39 p.m: Here's the theme song and it's going to be a sad day when Hank Williams Jr. passes away and we have some shitty MNF theme song.

8:38 p.m: Another commercial break. Just start the game already.

8:36 p.m: Pacman Jones mention #1.

8:34 p.m: Hank Williams is in the building, and what do you know, he's ready for football. I'm ready for football. It's go time.

8:31 p.m: Let's do this thing. Check back for updates.
