Their defensive weaknesses match our offensive strengths.
We have defensive and offensive coordinators who have bolstered their resumes on matchups like this.
Haley's amazing work ethic instilled on this team has given them a vastly superior health advantage.
All of this, however, is equalled out by Manning vs. our incredibly young secondary.
Equalled. But not bettered.
The question will be how will this Colts team come out after a tough loss in Jacksonville. Emotionally drained, and flat? Or incited by their franchise MVP into "kill mode"?
It's a fascinating question. And the answer is anybody's guess.

Nothing could go more our way than a suck team in press mode. I take nothing away from Peyton and his WR's. They are going to cut us, they are going to gash us, but they won't be able to stab us for the kill.
I keep having visions of DJ aboslutely plowing Garcon or Collie or whoever it is as they try to run their little crossing routes.
