The Indianapolis Colts exercised the demons of last year as they walked into their house of horrors and opened a can of ass-whooping on the upstart Jaguars Monday night in Jacksonville.

Last season the Colts gave up a franchise record 375 yards rushing in a 44-17 loss to Jacksonville. 

Monday night’s game was a complete opposite of last years debacle as the Colts dominated the game from the opening kickoff in cruising to a 29-7 win. The Colts held the Jaguars to a 117 yards rushing as they improved to 6-0 on the season.

Indianapolis is the third team in NFL history to start three seasons with six or more consecutive wins. The Colts have won 40 of their last 47 regular season games. The last team to match the Colts regular season dominance was the Chicago Bears of the mid-1980′s.

Peyton Manning, making his 150 consecutive regular season start, threw for 259 yards and a touchdown as the Colts swept their divisional rivals on the road this year. The Colts beat the Titans 22-20 in Tennessee and they defeated the Texans 30-24 at Houston in their other divisional road games.

Indianapolis improved to 3-0 in the division and left Jacksonville (4-2), Tennessee (4-2), and Houston (3-4) in the all-too-familiar chase mode. The Colts have captured the last four AFC South division titles.

The knock on the Colts headed into the season was that they lost to many players in free agency to make a serious run at defending their Super Bowl title. Add in the retirement of All-Pro offensive lineman,Terik Glenn, and nobody was giving the Colts a chance to make it back to the Super Bowl.

Its time for America and the rest of the world to open their eyes and realize that there is another outstanding team in the National Football League besides the New England Patriots.

The Colts are bigger, stronger, faster, more disciplined and simply better than they were during last year’s championship run.

The Colts led 17-0 at halftime and by the time Manning hit tight end Dallas Clark with a 35 yard touchdown pass with 3:59 left, the Jaguars had pretty much conceded the game and many of the fans attending the game were outside in the parking lot drowning their sorrows with heavy doses of Bud Light.

The Colts have a trap game next week at Carolina (4-2). The Panthers are in first place in the NFC South and riding a two game winning streak.

The Panthers lost QB Jake Delhomme for the season and they started 43-year old Vinny Testaverde against the Cardinals on October 14th at Arizona. The Panthers rolled the Cards 25-10.

The Panthers might have David Carr back at quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Colts. In all reality it doesn’t matter who starts at QB for the Panthers as they will be rolled by the Colts. Indy wins the game by double digits.

If New England (7-0) keeps its end of the bargain up and beats Washington (4-2) at home next weekend, it will set up an unbeaten showdown between the Patriots and Colts for league supremacy the following weekend in Indianapolis.

Early-Bird Special: Indianapolis 34, New England 31. (Have a good flight back home Belichick)!!
