Just one short month ago, the VK was telling us that "there was nobody who would dispute the [Colts] hold on the division" after we smacked the Teal Queens 29-7 in All-Teal Stadium. Now he's claiming the Jags just need to do 10 simple things to take control of the AFC South.
Please. First it was that the Colts were "too soft." Then it was the alleged artificial crowd noise which was proven completely untrue. Now it's a list of 10 things that lead to victory. Will this guy ever run out of excuses?
Perhaps Jack Del Rio would best use his axe to amend the VK's editorials instead of gashing the legs of his placekickers.

Vic's Article: Chance to Challenge Control
Oh man, the Vic-ster was really at it today. The guy is a huge cry-baby when it comes to the Indianapolis Colts. Even though the Colts are the defending Super Bowl champions and have won the AFC South 4 consecutive seasons, Ketchum seems to think the team is constantly overrated, soft, not deserving of their constant dominance over his Jags. Its really quite sad.
Check out Ketchum's piece today http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=6552
Particularly I'm going to focus on "Vic's 10 Things list" within the above linked article. There are some real gems in there.
According to Vic here are the things the Jaguars have to do to beat the Colts.
2. Pick the right times—To blitz Manning. You can’t make a steady diet of it or you’ll get burned. Manning, however, may be without Marvin Harrison again and that means the Jaguars should be able to assign double-coverage to Reggie Wayne. Go ahead, blitz him.
FACT: Ask Jim Johnson of the Eagles how this worked out for him last year and in 2002. The Teams that have had success blitzing Manning are 3-4 defenses where they had success disguising their linebacker blitzes. Do you watch football, Vic? The Jags operate a Base 4-3 predicated on their big DTs eating space and taking on blocks so that their LBs can use their athleticism to make plays. I can't think of any 4-3 defense that has had success blitzing Manning. In fact, most are not dumb enough to even try.
Vic, the Jags pressure this week is going to have to come off the ends. Particularly from Paul Spicer, who looks to have a match-up advantage on his side. Please bring us better insight next time.
5. Start fast—It’ll help reduce the natural crowd noise.
FACT: Natural Crowd Noise? This is so laughable. Got Evidence? Hey Vic, at least the Colts sell out their games. Seriously, last week, the Jaguars had an important home game against the Buffalo Bills and failed to sell it out before the blackout deadline. How many seats will the Jags cover next year? Do you really need that top tier? Cover the whole 400 section.
6. Be physical—It worked last year.
FACT: Last year? You still living in the past? This Colts Defense is a lot different personnel wise than last year. To name a few key differences. Bob Sanders is healthy and playing, the corner combo is a lot more physical than last years unit, and the new linebackers (Freddie and Hagler or even Boiman) just love to fly around and lay the wood to respective ball carriers.
I'm curious if anyone who makes this "soft" argument against the Colts have watched a Colts game since last season's playoffs. Moreover, who was the more physical team in Week 9 when the Colts thumped you 29-7 in your stadium??
7. Block Bob Sanders—A 5-8 guy should not be permitted to have his way.
FACT: This just isn't any 5-8 player. Its Bob Sanders. How tall are you? Bob is like the Chuck Norris of the NFL
9. Leave your CDs at home—The Colts have lots of them.
FACT: You're a HACK. And you've already made this joke
