Damn Them Colts!!!!!

You have a good way of downplaying strength of schedule. If the last four weeks Baltimore plays and beats Tennessee, Houston, Green Bay and Cleveland. and Indy plays and beats Chicago, Seattle, San Diego and Dallas. Would you still say that Baltimore is the better team?

If that could have happened then yeah I might actually see the Colts as the team to beat right now, but it didn't. The only team they played out of that group was Dallas which they lost so I'm not sure where you are going with that. I wouldn't called Dallas a great team either, they play in the NFC and are out of the playoffs already. Baltimore did however hand San Diego 1 of their only 2 losses. Baltimore also beat Tenn.

Regular season really doesn't mean crap now anyway. I am basing most of my judgements postseason history. Dungy and Manning haven't been to a Superbowl and generally don't have good histories in the postseason. On the other hand Billick has won a Superbowl and McNair has played in one.

It was a hypothetical situation and you can't even answer it in the way I asked it? Give me a break.

So it's mannings fault Indy's defense isn't the best? Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind when offensive players on other teams get blamed for defenses losing the game for other teams.

And this is a hypothetical answer, what more do you want?...

I'm not calling out Manning as the one to blame for past performances in the post season, and you really can't call out their defense because they have had at least some defense in the past. This year is the worst I have seen them. I said Manning's name because he has been MVP a couple times before and is the clear cut leader of the team, hell he is the franchise. All I ever said was he didn't have a great history in the post-season. I called out Dungy with Manning because he not only has a bad post-season history with Colts but also with the Bucs. This you cannot deny. Dungy is a great coach and admire him for that, but he has never fared well in the post season.

Well, what can I say, I was wrong. Didn't really watch any of that game, but seemed like it was a snoozefest. No TD's!

I will be rooting for Indy because I am sick of seeing the Pats. Anyway it is going to be one hell of game. You'd think Indy would have a nice advantage playing at home, but I thought that about San Diego too.
