3 INTs against the Chiefs don't bode well. The Ravens must be salivating at the idea of getting after Manning this weekend. I think he'll take a beating, and feed the hungry Ravens a few errant passes.
Does anybody really think Manning can beat that Ravens Defense in Baltimore??
note: with McNair and the Colts D, the Ravens WILL put up some points, so Manning has to play well.

Dont write the Colts off yet. Jamal Lewis is old and unimpressive, and I dont see him being able to exploit anything. Especially not after Colts shut down LJ.
On the other hand, Samari Rolle has gotten completely burned several times recently. McCalister is a beast, but the Colt's have too many good matchups. Peyton will come off of last weeks performance looking to prove himself, and he'll be able to if he can keep his focus.

If Jamal Lewis lays an egg like LJ did last weekend, things might be very bad for the Ravens if the Indy D plays like they did against KC. Having said that, I like McNair to have a career game managing the offense. And I like the Ravens D to force four or five Colts turnovers. They're going to out-intensify the energy level of the Colts. That's what I think. But my vision may be clouded by my view of Peyton Manning as a playoff wimpo who just can't beat well-rounded teams in January. If it's left up to him, no he won't beat the Ravens' D.

I don't think that Manning will be intimidated by the Ravens defense at all as he has had good games against them before and may very well have one this weekend. I don;t like the Ravens although they do have a good team. If the Colts score 24 points, they will win because the Ravens offense isn't that great.

Peyton is quite ready for whomever they ended up against. The Ravens say theyr'e ready to hit the Colts hard but in actuallity, can Lewis get to J.D. or even get to Manning? I would like to think not . Let's go Colts. Everybody will show up and win this round.

Ty Law knows how to play against Manning. Law is probably one of the best defensive players in the league! So you need to give Law credit before you start faulting Manning. And Manning has played this same Ravens defense before! And Manning has beaten this Ravens defense before!

Yeah its true that it was Ty Law who got Manning three times, but still Manning has horrible playoff performances. He is the Dan Marino of this era. Unfortunately for Manning, he has not played this same Ravens defense yet. So he is in for something new and something challenging. Maybe back to his old mishaps against the Patriots.

The problem with the colts is that they dont spend their money evenly. You spend 70 percent of your money on offense, you get a poor defense. No matter who you have.
I would be very suprised if his has as many tds as ints.
Raise your hand if you have ever been hit by Ray Lewis?

Indy's D blows. Jamal Lewis will have a field day. Peyton Manning, Dakota Fanning...it matters not who will be the qb for the Colts, their season will end come Saturday.
