Well, I'm officially sold on the Colts

(1/6) > >>

Shallow:
After starting off great Peyton Manning, for 90% of the second half, played some of the worst football I've ever seen him play. Before that last drive he looked like Rex Grossman, but time and again that defense showed up and saved the day. If Indy's defense even played average in the second half Indy would have lost, and lost big. The Colts today showed me that they can start off with a bang, have a defense that can fend off and protect a lead despite the offense, mainly the QB, letting them down, and have both sides function great in crunch time. I feel I can count on that D showing up like this through the playoffs, and I don't count on Peyton having another half like that ever again (I mean there was no pressure and Peyton was just missing throws). Indy, Superbowl champs. I'm calling it now. No matter what happens Thursday, or the two weeks after that.

Jaydc:
For whatever reason people keep over looking the colts this season with claims they arent as good as their record.But thats the best defense theyve had in a while.And though peyton had trouble their for a minute,two of those picks were deflections.

Lunatic:
Yeah, I think their the super bowl champs as well. A Colts-Saints/Vikings final would be unreal.

The first one was a faultless deflection. The second one was a missed throw to Wayne that got deflected because it was off. The third one he looked like Cutler trying like the devil get something going. In every case. They were up by 3 TDs and should have pounded the run and ran screens, only throwing it up the middle or deep when the defense breaks down and the dude is wide open. That being said he had some gorgeous throws to Garcon all second half but that dude defending him timed the hand slaps perfectly.


Colts win Thursday and they go 16-0. Everything is set up for them to lose this game. They have a short week to prepare and are already locked for home field, while Jacksonville is fighting to stay alive and remain in the hunt. Even if the starers do play all game Jacksonville has the edge right now. Colts score early they win. If they fall behind I don't think they have another 4th quarter come back in them. If they somehow do mount another miracle comeback then they may as well be crowned right there. But if they win this then they can beat the Jets and Bills with Sorgi playing 2 to 3 quarters.
