2007: 20 TD (1.25 Per Game) (Pathetic)
2008: 8 TD (2.67 Per Game) (Awesome)

not quite awesome, that would be at least 4 per game. It is a nice improvement so far though.

The Colts offense last year averaged 3.18 TDs per game. I'd say 3 per game is awesome land.

No, this is a combination of offensive TDs (passing and rushing).

Red Zone offense is the biggest improvement. The reason: two names - Marshawn and Trent.

I've said many times before, Marshawn's running style is perfect for red zone. He can take a hit and stay on his feet; he can find small space in a crowd and get through.

Then you have a QB who makes good decisions and be accurate with the ball - lethal for small space like red zone.

In the past, even go back to Bledsoe days, we score more long TDs than red zone ones. Now we're more in line with the rest of NFL.

This season alone, I've seen people looking for pass and we hurt them with Marshawn there; and when they were looking for Marshawn, Edwards had time to scan the whole end zone.

I got so frustrated last year when they'd have a long drive and all they came away with was a FG. Now this year they end it in TDs. What a vast improvement.

You have to weigh in the ability for this offense to improve as the year goes on. I feel we can hit 50 TD's from the offensive side this season, ~3.5 a game plus FG's / other misc. score puts us at 30 + points a game average.

Which is K-Gun era territory. With that kind of offense there's a good chance they can go deep into the playoffs.

i think 30+ is a little high for the talent we have on offense. but I'll settle for 20+

right now we're looking good.

Have we been stopped in the red zone this year yet?
Im sure we have, but I honestly can't remember a time right now.

We haven't been stopped inside the 20. We've gotten TD's everytime, i think
