Peyton Manning is NOTHING without some outstanding wide recievers and tight ends to throw the ball to. And with an offensive line that buys THAT much time for him, he OUGHT to be able to get the ball into someone's hands.
that's exactly what Peyton says lol. he works VERY hard every week and really knows his stuff (watching tapes etc). the colt's offense has some of the most unselfish players I've ever seen, especially with harrison sharing the spotlight with the rest of the receiving crew. manning is very humble and a great spokesman for the game. he deserves player of week, even with that foolish interception in the endzone. I still can't figure out why he tried to force a bullet pass into triple coverage...oh, well. the rest of his stats were a little higher than I expected against the broncos, so he deserves the recognition.

the defense of the colts just plain blows.
I wouldn't go quite that far lol. perhaps you didn't notice we have freeney (league sack leader) and mathis providing solid pass rushing, and the line seems to get better every year. yes, it's hard to build a good d using only 25% of your salary cap, but if you look at the stats the colts can really stop opponents in the red zone. that's when it counts. sure, we rank low in defense because we appear to give up a lot of yards, but peyton , edge, and crew easily put up far greater numbers. and our special teams are very solid with good coverage on kickoffs and punts and the most accurate field goal kicker of all time.
GO COLTS!!!
