I don't wanna hear any anti- Manning crap either. He his one of the greatest QB's (if not the greatest) in NFL history and the stats prove it. Serious answers only. I think they should maybe get rid of dallas clark (good TE, but so are the others and he gets paid way to much), and use his salary to get another fat man in the middle of the D line and maybe a decent young LB. Get rid of Ron Meeks, and get a better DQ. And if this crap keeps up, maybe get rid of Dungy and get a coach that has balls.(I like Dungy alot, but he is a little to conservative to me). what do you think?

Actually maybe the conservative games help the colts win. Because if you look at it the conservative game helps manning keep focused and keeps him motivated. If he does not complete passes it just bums him out and the game goes down from there. And i agree that the Defensive line needs some help to keep the opposite team from scoring. But the playoff game this week will need a lot of work because the Ravens defense is tough. And peyton manning is one of THE all-time NFL QB's. But i think dallas clark is a good addition to the team. Just he needs to recover and get back into the game. i don't understand why manning is so good but has never been to a super bowl. i'm sure he would win one if he was there. get the ball to Addai more and secure first downs to win the game. and the offensive line needs to give manning a little more time and space for Addai to run. Just Dungy needs to look at his defensive line to stop the opposing team. Maybe they could cut down clark's salary and pay another rookie coming out of college to play for them

Yup yup and yup. All good suggestions. Def. need a new coordinator, and new coach. Dungy's not a finisher, proved that in Tampa Bay. Need some big guys on that defense, they're just too light. And one of the DEs has to go, you need at least one end who is willing to acknowledge that the opposing offense does run the ball. But the biggest thing is determine in the mind's that they can win it. THey have no confidence, in Dungy, or inthemselves, don't think they can get there, and they definitely don't think they can beat New England. When they get over that, then they're set. Sadly it won't happen this yr. Sry

They need a defense like they've never had before. I have yet to see Indy's D consistently show a Lombardi-caliber performance against playoff teams. I'll give you this past week against KC--they showed up to play and they played well, but KC had the weakest offense of any of the playoff teams except for maybe Chicago and maybe, well, we've got a lot of maybes. The only way the Colts will win the Super Bowl this year is if their defense can match or exceed Baltimore's D tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed.
Yes Manning is a damned good QB, but you have to admit that he's not so good in the playoffs. He was very average last week, and seems to consistently look bad against defenses who can put heavy pressure on the pocket. I know that he's outplayed the Ravens' defense in the past, but I have my doubts about tomorrow.
Then again, if the Colts win tomorrow, they'll win the Super Bowl. I have doubts about SD's ability to win two in a row starting this weekend, and I think if NE has to go through Indy to get to the SB, then the Colts will stop them if they perform at their best in every facet of the game.
But the Colts need their defense to play like they did last week against every playoff team in order to get to the SB.

You are totally right!!!! We love our Manning right??? hahaha :) and I think that they pretty much already have everything that they need to go to the Super Bowl..maybe a little better defense but we will have to see how they do today..they were great last week..now if they could just win this game!! :) And i actually really like Dungy and i think that he is a great coach..he got them this far and they have had great records over the past couple of seasons.
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!
(AND PEYTON!!!!!!! <3)

I think that the Colts need to do alot to beef up that defense. Their offense is great. But their D needs alot of work.
Also I have nothing against Peyton Manning, but he's not the greatest QB in NFL history, I believe that the greatest QB in NFL history wore #16 for the 49ers. I think it would alot to be better than Joe Montana.

Peyton Manning , ive always been a fan since i got to meet him when he played for the Vols in college , and if he has a good game they will kick a** ! if not then they wont , just get the ball off quick , the o line needs to protect him , even a great back like peyton can look like crap if not protected ,they will win this but lost to the patriots and they will get killed by DA BEARS !!!! GO BEARS !!!

They need a dynamic running back, much like the way Terrell Davis made the big difference for John Elway and the Denver Broncos.
