1. Well, maybe the NFL "experts" didn't, but the Colts sure did!
I wonder how this bodes for the Colts next season? Will they rebound, or is it now so firmly imprinted in their psyche that Peyton can't win the big one?

2. You're right.
The Colts made the classic mistake of looking past this week's opponent, ahead to Denver. The Steelers came to play, & Indy just looked flat.

If you pressure Peyton Manning, you can beat the Colts. If he has time to throw, he'll pick you apart.

3. For the past couple years, I figured it was the snow...
...now I guess it really is just keeping the pressure on him, and he's very beatable.

8. There's no way the Colts rebound.
This is it for them--they're DONE. No courage, no guts, no fire, no heart.

Tony Dungy teams play soft and weak in big games. Happened in Tampa. Happens every year in Indianapolis.

Colts should hire Jon Gruden as their head coach.

9. I tend to think you're right...
...they came back this year after yet another big play-off loss, then beat the Pats at home, and still they couldn't go to the next level.

5. Checking in for my crow pie.
I'm glad I was wrong. Manning is a choker.

10. All you have to do is rattle Manning early and he starts heading home...
This ought to be a huge boost for the Steelers - it shows them they can beat an "unbeaten" team (at least unbeaten for most of the year). And since Denver really only won because the Patriots played like a JV football team, I am hoping it is on to Detroit :)

13. that's funny
I thought Denver won because they consistently knocked the Patriots on their asses. Even their punter was forcing fumbles, for crying out loud, laying his helmet right on the ball :)

Next week should be a good game for sure.

14. Well, of course that too :)
Denver obviously deserved to win that game...they steam-rolled right over the Patsy-bitches. They are a great team, but I think they need to develop their offense a little better for next week. I'll probably cheer for the Steelers, but I really like Denver, too (even though their QB looks like a child molester, lol).
