INDIANAPOLIS - Chuck Pagano is pushing the Colts to get a grip on their most pressing problem. Clearance Air Jordan Store .Otherwise, he fears they could fumble away their post-season dream.Less than 24 hours after putting the ball on the ground four more times at Cleveland, the Indianapolis coach calmly explained again that the Colts need a quick fix.Weve got to get it cleaned up, Pagano said Monday. You credit the opponent for stripping the ball and making plays, but its still no excuse. ... Weve got to get it cleaned up, period.So far, the mistakes have not caused too much damage. Indy (9-4) has won three straight, leads the AFC South by two games and can wrap up its second straight division crown with a win Sunday over Houston (7-6).But the Colts are testing conventional wisdom in a league where the best barometer for success is often turnover margin.Over the past three weeks, Indy has fumbled 13 times, lost seven, and thrown three interceptions. After Sundays games, the Colts were tied for the league lead in fumbles lost (13) and were minus-4 in the turnover margin. Only two teams have a worse turnover margin and a winning record: Kansas City (7-6) at minus-5 and NFC East co-leader Philadelphia (9-4) at minus-6.If the trend continues, nobody understands the ramifications better than quarterback Andrew Luck.Yes, he directed the second-largest playoff comeback in January, a 45-44 victory over the Chiefs. But the three interceptions he threw in that game helped put Indy in the 28-point hole.The next week, at New England, Luck threw four more interceptions and the Colts, predictably, were eliminated.Luck spent the off-season contemplating what he could do better, but lately its looked more like last season.Three weeks ago, against Jacksonville, Luck fumbled four times and lost two. His teammates added to the woes with two more fumbles.Against Washington, Luck lost a fumble on the first offensive play. Indy finished the game with three fumbles, two lost, and one interception.On Sunday, Luck threw two interceptions and fumbled two more times. The Browns recovered Lucks fumble in the end zone and scored on a 23-yard interception return.In some ways, with a quarterback who refuses to give up on plays, Pagano acknowledges it goes with the territory.Its competitiveness, its will, its all of those things, he said. Theres a ton of plays over the course of the last 2 3/4 seasons that if he (Luck) doesnt hang in there, doesnt do this or that, we dont get our touchdown.Luck isnt the only Colt struggling to get a handle on this problem. Indys top receiver, T.Y. Hilton, lost his first fumble in 202 receptions against Cleveland. Daniel Boom Herron, Indys most effective running back, lost the ball once against Jacksonville and once against Washington. Even the usually sure-handed return specialist Josh Cribbs had the ball knocked out in his former home stadium.All came even after Paganos continual speeches about ball security.Whats wrong?Injuries have certainly taken a toll on a young offensive line and could account for more pressure on Luck, and smaller running lanes.Rookie centre Jonotthan Harrison missed all but 17 plays Sunday after what Pagano described as a burner. Right guard Hugh Thornton has missed the last two games with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee. Thorntons replacement, Joe Reitz, was carted off the field Sunday with an ankle injury in the third quarter.Right tackle Gosder Cherilus is playing with a bad shoulder.But Pagano isnt looking for excuses. He expects results over the final three games.If we want to achieve our No. 1 goal, we know we have to win a game on Sunday to do that, to move on and take the next step, Pagano said. But to do what we want to do, weve got to play better.NOTES: Pagano clarified Monday that receiver Reggie Wayne tore the triceps in his left arm when he injured his elbow against Cincinnati in October. The first time Pagano mentioned the triceps injury was during the Colts postgame radio show Monday night. ... Pagano said doctors were still evaluating the injuries to Reitz and Harrison. Thornton is now listed as day to day, an upgrade from his previous status of week to week. ... Cornerback Vontae Davis, who missed Sundays game, will continue to go through the leagues concussion protocol this week. ... Pagano said he expects Xavier Nixon (foot) and linebacker Andy Studebaker (hamstring) to return to practice Wednesday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale Air Jordan .

This week, topics cover the World Series champion Red Sox, John Farrell and what to look forward to this off-season.MONTREAL - The tightly cornered Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is a different track than most in Formula One, but dont expect the Mercedes AMG team to be any less dominant. The Mercedes duo of three-time Canadian Grand Prix champion Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg has won all six races to start the season, finishing one-two in the last five. They will be the favourites again despite the close walls and hard braking on the 4.361-kilometre circuit. "I dont think it will be different from the other weeks before," a resigned Nico Hulkenberg of the Force India team said Thursday. The race weekend begins with practice on Friday, and qualifying on Saturday, before the grandstands on the island track across from downtown Montreal fill up on what is expected to be sunny, warm day for the 45th Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday. It will be first experience for Canadian fans of the quieter, more fuel-efficient 1.6-litre turbo engines introduced this year, which have dropped the formerly dominant Red Bull team down the grid and raised Mercedes AMG to near-invincibility. In the opening six events, Rosberg has two wins and finished second four times to lead drivers standings with 122 points. Hamilton has four wins and one second to sit second with 118 points. Next closest is Ferraris Fernando Alonso, a two-time world champion, with 61 points. Sebastian Vettel, the F1 champion the last four years with Red Bull, is sixth with 45. Some felt the peculiar Gilles-Villeneuve track, which features long straightaways leading into sharp turns, a hairpin and some tricky chicanes, might close the power gap on Mercedes. No such luck, said Hamilton. "Ill be guessing, but I dont feel that will be the case," the 29-year-old Briton said. "Were particularly strong in the straights, the Mercedes are, but I dont know. "Maybe well be surprised this weekend, but the long straights do suit us very well. We have a very good power unit in our engines. Mercedes has done the best job with the engines, so Renault and Ferrari would have had to have done an exceptional job coming into this weekend in that area to be able to keep up with us on the straights." The Mercedes supremacy is drawing comparisons to 1988, when the McLaren Honda team of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost won 15 of the 16 races on the schedule, with the Brazilian taking eight and Prost winning seven. "In a way Im honoured to hear those comparisons because that was an extremely high-level, big battle at the time,, but I leave it at that," said Rosberg. Air Jordan Outlet. . "I dont really compare myself to that era. I want to do my own thing." It seems the only thing that can stop Mercedes may be infighting between Hamilton and Rosberg, but even the tension that was building between them looks to have abated since a blow-up at Monaco two weeks ago, when Hamilton felt Rosberg cheated him of a chance to claim pole position. Hamilton tweeted recently "we spoke and were cool, still friends #noproblem." The Hamilton-Rosberg duo already has Mercedes 141 points clear of Red Bull and 162 points ahead of Ferrari in the constructors championship. Vettel has had bad luck in Canada in the past, but broke through last year when he cruised to win from the pole, finishing 14 seconds ahead of Alonso. Now hes grasping at any edge to stay competitive. "It will be difficult to match the Mercedes-powered cars down the straights," the German said. "There are also some corners here and weve been competitive in the past. "We were in a very good position in to win the race in 2011 and we won last year, so we have reason to be confident. But we know it could be a difficult weekend. "We know that the corners are very tricky and demanding here and you can make up a lot of time in the corners. Well try to do our best down the straights and try to do better than everyone else on the corners." Another leveller could be the infamous wall of champions, a concrete barrier at the chicane leading to the final stretch to the finish line. Over the years, some of the sports greatest drivers have crashed into it. Jenson Button of McLaren Mercedes is confident that even with the lighter back end on this years cars they should get through the turn OK. "Weve been driving these cars all year and if we can drive these cars around Monaco, I think well be all right around here," he said. The McLaren, Force India and Williams teams also use Mercedes engines, but none has put the package of engine and car together quite like Mercedes AMG. "In terms of the development of the car, it is working and were going in the right direction," said Button, the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix winner who has found himself battling just to get into the points by finishing in the top 10 this season. "Its tough. "When youve been fighting for wins and the team is used to fighting for wins, its difficult when you find yourself in this situation." ' ' '
