That was the best I have seen the defense play all year,but they can't do it all. I hate the Cowboys but they did what almost no other team has done...they figured out how to stop Manning.He couldn't make a play today.
I agree. This is what I said in that thread awhile back. This is why I think Indy will not win the superbowl. Not because I hate them. But because 99 percent of there games this year have been won by the offensive wizardry of manning. That is all well and good. But it cannot be done over and over against good teams that are a bit more complete. lets be honest. Offensively the colts are untouchable. Just amazing. Those receivers are incredable. manning is very talented obviously. But they have big problems on the defensive side of the ball. When they can stop the run they cannot stop the pass. Vice versa.
I do not agree when you say no other team has figured out to stop manning. He has not won any game this year against a good team by a wide margin. Do not get me wrong he is amazing and a great player. but I also think they where getting breaks when they needed them most. They didn't get them tonight and they lost.
I am not trying to say Indy has won only because they got breaks. What i am trying to say is they have yet to win a game convincingly by sheer domination against a good team. Most games where won by them on panalties and turnover by there opponents that they turned into scores. Even then they win by 7 points or less.That is the truth. The best team in the NFL is still the bears imo. Most complete on all sides of the ball.
