Did I say smoke and mirrors?

I said it last week, the Colts are not as good as they seem. Pretty sure I was correct on this one. I don't want to hear about the weather, the field conditions, or anything. The Colts can't beat a good defense, plain and simple.

The Pats dominated that game, at no point were the Colts even close to doing anything, even when it was 6-3.

My favorite part of the game, which I don't think made it onto TV, was after Manning fumblel the ball Gillette Stadium erupted into a "CUT THAT MEAT, CUT THAT MEAT!" chant. Manning threw his hands up in disgust.

Man, today is a good day!

That's awesome.

Oh, and you and your butt buddy Amnorix suck.

It was nice to see Manning brought back down to earth. He's a good quarterback, but the weather and a great defense made him look mediocre.

I wanted Indy to win this game, just because NE has been there in the SB recently !

Although Indy played a sucky game..... props on the win.

Well, he can't always win with little ground game to speak of and a defense that is mediocre on a good day.

Correct, but he can against shit bum teams. and that is what I said last week. That little ground game might be because he played against a D that actually can play.

New England did a great job keeping Manning off the field and not allowing him to get into a rhythum. It was kinda funny looking at him sitting on the bench helpless.

Indy isn't overrated which is what you're suggesting... Indy/NE is one of those interesting scenarios (I think) where one team flat out owns another team.

I'd like to see NE at Indy... if you did 10 games and split home and home, it's likely a 5-5 series. Who knows?

What do you think they'll do at Pitt this weekend?

I said this many times yesterday. Indy is going to need to develop a Power rushing attack if they want to win in January. I beleive that Edge is a very soft runner and for whatever reason, they abandon the run way too early. Maybe its because they pay the big bucks to Peyton so they base all their game plans around his arm??? I dont know? The game was so close for most of the game, they should have been pounding the ball instead of relying on Peytons arm so much. Elway didnt win the big dance until he had the power rushing style of T Davis.
