Will Peyton Manning deliver this time around?

Journeyman · Jan 4, 2005

I have a feeling this could be the year he gets the monkey off his back....

Side note- does Edgerin James seem much slower then he use to be?

I realize he is still very effective but he looks slow to me :icon_conf

No.
This guy is Dan Marino personified.

seeing that they need to go to New Eng in the second round, i dont think so.

if they can somehow get by the Pats, then they better hope Pitt gets knocked off by whomever.

no way they win 2 road games against pats and steelers .

Journeyman, I have to agree with you. I think this is the year they get the monkey off their back. I dont know if everybody realizes that NE or Pitts will not be over 3 against Indy. dont care way they play nobody will be over 3 over them. I think they can beat them both. NE will probaly be 3-05 and 44.5 or 45 over Indy.

I really am concerned defensively. A+ offense with a D rated Defense.

History says no

MrTeaser · Jan 4, 2005

May have to win at home against Denver, on the road at NE and then on the road at Pit. That's a tough path.

Journeyman · Jan 4, 2005

Agree itwill be extremely difficult @ NE @ Pitt.... maybe Pitt gets knocked off by SD

Dont hitnk its up to Manning...Its up to the defense....

If they can get 3 or 4 stops in the game, that might be all it takes with the Indy offense to win the game.....

You gotta figure Indy will score at least 1/2 the times they have the ball.....

Could be more

Dante · Jan 4, 2005

yes I believe they will do it....

Glaken · Jan 4, 2005

The question is ...will the defense deliver? I think not...Homer Falcon Here!!

Just remember - no dome team has ever made the SB. Not good for Colts, Atlanta, Minn.

I remember reading it, but it was winning it. You are right.

No one saying much about the Rams, could they be a sleeper?

TheGeneral+ · Jan 4, 2005

My hopes are for Indy to beat Den, and NE, then SD beat NY & Pitt and the AFC title game could be in the RCA dome.

I hear that...I seriously doubt Indy could win back to back road games of that nature....when I say nature I MEAN NATURE !!!!

Falcons in the Superbowl v. Pitt....my prediction...Jim Mora Jr. said we have a plan to win it all with new plays and I won't be giving any info until after the Superbowl.

when both the falcons and rams did it they had homefield

TescoVee · Jan 4, 2005

Both Pitt and NE can grind out the clock on the ground and put up TD's doing so. Bellichick did it to the Bills when he was coaching the NYG. Im guessing he does the same thing. Make the time of possession super lopsided.

should be a great AFC playoff race at any rate. Go Pats.
