I know Simms said it was Harris, but I'm pretty certain that was Manning.  And yes, there's no earthly reason that Manning should have been out of position like that.

Congratulations.

recap.  The defense wasn't a huge problem; the defense being exhausted and suffering breakdowns because of it, was a problem.  I think the fact that we never adjusted to negate passes to RB's was another huge problem.  As a matter of fact, gameplanning is something that needs to be reviewed this offseason.  I think we have excellent coaches and don't think we need to go all rex-level in hatred, but we clearly had some issues last night.  Our biggest (and as far as I could tell, only) adjustment was switching Vasher and Tillman.  Oh, and we motioned Jones out of the backfield 3-4 times.  
The Colts are putting 8-9 guys in the box, their best CB is gone very early in the game and we're playing on a wet field.  ...why were we not in 3-4 WR sets for 75% of our plays?  Clearly, the game was going to come down to whether or not our offense could move the ball.  Clearly, the Colts have had success stopping teams intent on running the ball.  Clearly, their secondary is the weakest part of their defense.  Clearly, you can still run the ball even with 3-4 receivers (I'm talking to you Ron Turner).
Why let Rob Morris stay on the field?  Why let them load the box?  Why not dink and dunk just like the Colts were doing?  
If Grossman showed anything last night, it was that he was feeling pretty accurate on the intermediate passes.  Rashied Davies and Mark Bradley were both healthy and Jones is a great receiver out of the backfield.  The Colts did to us exactly what we should have done to them.  Little passes to the flats, run out of spread formations.  Keep drives going.  
Rex was like 11-13 in the first half with one bad pass that was more the result of bad design and Berrian not adjusting to it well.  
As for the interceptions, I have my ideas on what happened.  First, I was very curious that Rex didn't have a glove on his throwing hand.  I've seen him play in adverse weather, and he has a glove on.  I don't think that was a huge issue and he knows what works better than I (I would think).  The first INT was bad play calling (putrid, as a matter of fact), Rex deciding way too early what he was going to do, and poor execution.  Why on earth would the Colts bite on a double fake from Mushin with the lead late in the game.  They're just going to play prevent-style defense and make sure the plays stay in front of them.  I think that Rex thought Mushin's height advantage would allow him to win a jump ball.  Unfortunately, it didn't work.
The second INT was simply a bad throw.  The play call was great (Berrian positioned against a LB, no double moves just straight speed), great read by Grossman and a poor throw.  Had the throw been 10 yards more to the right, it probably would have been a touchdown.  I think Cooley's points on Rex losing concentration hit the nail on the head.  He simply lost focus and didn't take care of a detail, twice.  Doh.
As for defense, why in god's name were we not playing press coverage against Harrison and Wayne?  Rule 1A vs. the Colts is to press and bump the shit out of the WR's.  It's a sloppy field, their a precision offense and our safeties are 17 yards deep.  Beat the shit out of the WR's.  I didn't see press coverage till the fourth. I'm sure we did it a few more times earlier, but that should have been our primary coverage style.
What worries me most (even coming into the game) was that the coaches didn't seem to care about adjusting.  It was power running or nothing.  Even though we had distinct areas that we could have taken advantage of, we just kept doing the same thing.  It was eerily reminiscent of last years Carolina Playoff game.  You can't do that in the playoffs.  You have to be able to tweak your game plan during the game.  Hell, with two weeks to prepare, you ought to have adjustments practiced and the players well-versed in them.  
THAT was the story of the game.  

but if there were more 7-15 yard plays late in the game you can bet that the prevent was on.

was lost in the second quarter.  the third just sealed the deal.

but the bottom line is peyton is the perfect qb to beat a cover 2 and every other defense, especially when you get no presure on him. you pick your poison with any defense, there is something to beat anything, it comes down to who executes better. that's why your "long one" never came, the c2 forces you to settle on the short routes and execute, and the colts did that.

this game was close even with a poor defensive performance(brought on largely by the offense's inability to do anything, in turn brought on largely by our quarterback's inability to do anything) the d allowed 21 points in almost 40 minutes to a great offense. they were on the field too long. the offense lost this game.

Rex had a great first quarter, he just wasn't asked to do much.  His TD pass was perfect.

advocate blowing up the staff.  They just have to learn.  Look, the Colts were a team that couldn't "win the big one" for what?  3-4 years?  Lovie's been here for 3 years and we made the superbowl.  Sure, we really didn't show up and clearly weren't on the same field from a coaching staff standpoint, but you don't just have a firesale because of it.
Without a doubt, there has to be an open competition at QB with all three getting their shot.  I don't think Griese's the guy will want behind center so maybe we'll have to look elsewhere.  
Just as important, we need to tweak our offensive style.  We need to take advantage of our 4-5 capable WR's on the same play.  Still base our team around running, but have the threat of a spread so teams can't gear up to shut the run down.  
This way, when we have our off-season competition, it can be based on more than play-action deep balls and 7 yard curls.  We have to have an idea of what new elements we want to introduce into our passing attack (because we undoubtedly need some) and see what QB can handle them.

was once given to Dwight Smith.  Exactly.  Dungy really deserved it since he fixed the defense, the coaching won the game and he just handle the game better.
