The Colts D is beginning to get healthy again! They have Bob Sanders, Nick Harper, Jason David and Antoine Bethea back. I think that really helped them against Kansas City. Most would agree that Bob Sanders is a difference maker for the Colts. He only played 4 games during the regular season. If the Colts Defense is healthy they win the superbowl. Because a healthy Colts Defense is a defense that makes tackles, creates turnovers and changes the gameplan for alot of opposing coaches. Alot of people say negative things about the Colts D, but even though they are last in the league against the run (because they gave up most of the rushing yards when they where forced to use 4th and 5th string defensive backs and safeties) They rank 2nd in the NFL against the pass. What I see is alot of teams trying to run the ball and having to change their scheme. And Baltimore or San Diego is no exception. They will try to run run run. And end up like Kansas City did yesterday.

Tony Dungy is arguably one of the best coaches in the league. He does not choke! If anyone chokes at all it would be the players. But Tony Dungy is not like that. If the Colts do make it to the superbowl it will make history. Because if I remember right; it will be the first time an African American coach made it to the superbowl. And if Lovie and the Bears make it: There will be 2 African American coaches in the superbowl! Which is GREAT!

Yeah that was mis-communication between him and Harrison that caused those interceptions. But the score was 9 - 0 after the last interception! I thought the Colts Defense was supposed to be terrible? Well it sure didn't look that way yesterday!

No they don't cause Tony Dungy is the choke coach. He has been that way since he was we the Bucs. He doesn't know how to handle the playoffs to well.

The Colts defense yesterday was decidedly not the defense that was on the field for most of the season. If they can keep playing half as good as they did against KC (and Peyton Manning stops throwing INTs), they have a very strong chance.
Regarding your additional remark -- Why do you have to play the race card? Is it not enough to say Dungy and Smith are both fantastic coaches and a contest between them would make for a great game? Why do you have to label them by calling them "African American" coaches instead of just coaches? Race has nothing to do with coaching ability (or ability in anything else), and it has no bearing on the game.

I lived in Tampa and Tony Dungy is a swine. His son committed suicide and he barely blinks. He had ads plastered all over the local TV before the unfortunate incident on how to be an ALL-PRO DAD!!!! Then the tragedy and he just almost completely blows it off. He loses 90% of the time in the playoffs ansd hope it continues, he is a pig and deserves everything negative that comes his way. I wish he would step down and become a priest or something. Oh yeah, Peyton Manning and family are the biggest losers as well. Daddy taught the boys to be ME FIRST!!! Both the Dubgy and Manning camps put on these holier than thou fronts, when in reality they are SOB'S!!!!!

They have no chance unless they somehow make it come down to a Vinatieri FG. Dungy doesn't have what it takes to lead a team to playoff success (he has tanked in the playoffs repeatedly with 2 different elite teams), and Manning also chokes and then throws his o-line or D under the bus. Manning already did his best to try and throw the game away yesterday

Pittsburgh proved last year that every team has a chance in the playoffs. Next week it is about a ball control offense and dominating defense against the Colts.

I fairly have by no potential seen 2, 10-0 communities, even if the Colts have shown they are in a position to be beat. Jacksonville, Miami, San Francisco, Houston, New England and Baltimore have all lost to the Colts by making use of a minimum of four aspects...the Colts season might desire to truly be 4-6 this 365 days. look the the schedule and you will understand what I communicate of. even if the Colts are a complicated group and function fought out each victory they have this 365 days, i think of of they are going to lose by using means of actuality they are going to desire to sit down back their starters and not danger injury. The Saints even even with the indisputable fact that, have had only 4 complicated video games, yet have been given right here decrease back to win the video games by making use of a great margin. St. Louis very distinctly much had their way with the Saints, even if the Saints sensible offense stored them indoors the interest. i think of of the Saints lose to the Patriots on Sunday. i opt for the Pats to lose, by using means of actuality I hate them, yet I dont see that occurring. Atlanta, Dallas and Carolina are the only communities that stand of their thank you to boot the Pats. I see them going undefeated in the event that they don't lose to the Pats. by making use of a techniques the least puzzling schedule, even much less puzzling than the 2007 Patriots. we will see.

If the Colts defense keeps playing with the heart they played with on saturday, they will take it all. San Diego will choke due to the Schottenheimer playoff curse.
