just another step in the right direction.
bengals? really, who dey?
no team is going to be doing much running when they're down 16-0 in the middle of the third quarter. i didn't say run stopping wasn't a factor. i said that it alone isn't a big enough factor to stop the pass-happy offense of the colts.
Bal--88
Cin--89
Cle--108
Hou--130.5
Jac--110.5
NE--104
Pit--124
SD--25
SF--105
Stl--143
Ten--98.5
see the odd man out? btw, the SD game was also the only game he had less than 20 carries.
Currently, the only team the Colts should seriously worry about is the reigning world champ New England Patriots, who finally have their D at full strength, and are led by perennial winner Tom Brady. The Patsies are coming on strong at just the right time and strangely enough do not have the normal target on them a repeat champion should have. Its unreal actually that the Pats have flown below the radar due to the Colts magical season.
My early super bowl prediction: Patriots vs Seahawks in the lowest rated Super Bowl of all time.
it wasn't just the pass rush, but the pass rush was a big part of it. without it, stuffing the run wouldn't have made a difference. i've never seen manning pressured so much this season. usually when the run isn't working, he is lounging behind his linemen in the pocket picking apart defenses with his throws.
i agree with tanveer in that it was more of a combination of all three aspects (the third being a good secondary), but the pass rush is what really stood out because that is what pressured manning to throwing early and throwing off his usual accuracy.
and denver can bring it all too. they have a much better secondary than the chargers. i couldn't believe that jammer of all corners appeared to be doing such a good job on harrison. a good pass rush makes the job of the secondary that much easier.
true that these are all predictions, but your prediction that the broncos will be a walkover for the colts (as they have been the past two years) is based more on history than anything else.
tanveer:
i'm only saying what the commentators were saying during that game. quentin may have been a bust, but the similarity in size and the way he was juking colts defenders that day was barry sanders like.
it's been done plenty of times before and it will be done again this year. darrent williams will be back by then to support bailey (i hope we never have to see roc alexander covering reggie wayne again) and the broncos have a much better pass rush. you saw how chargers handled manning with their pass rush. poor guy... looked like he was about to cry on the sidelines.
Let's stick to the topic...
Denver vs. Who??? for Super Bowl XL
unfortunately we will not overlook this loss of the colts - a loss that revealed the chinks in the celebrated colts armor.
i find the colts fan attempt to downplay this loss and point to denver's 13-0 season in which they went on to win the super bowl highly amusing. what will the colts fans say next? payton manning is as good as john elway? james is as good as terrel davis? horseshhhh...oes!!!
with the chiefs losing today as expected and the chargers probably losing tomorrow, denver will also have the AFC West crown
i think shanahan has already started to get ready for the colts. plummer looked great throwing the ball and they controlled the clock. 4 long consecutive drives for touchdowns - exactly what they'll need against the colts.
