They jumped the gun to early. If there is one thing to be learned from this year in the NFL its that teams can go from hot to cold and vice versa very quickly. A team like the Colts should NEVER be counted out. Especially since they went into New England and beat them already this year.

That's because everyone was looking at how they were playing (barely winning) and not that many of the key players that were out injured that would come back for the play-offs.
The Colts looked really good in only one regular game this season, against the Redskins.
I think the keys to the Colts winning now are a couple things:
1.) Addai has gained some experience and now the Colts have a good running threat.
2.) The defense has Bob Sanders back. Without him the defense normally plays bad. With him it plays like one of the best defenses in the NFL.
3.) The have a bunch of injured players back to help them win in the playoffs. Almost half their team was injured this season. When you play most the season on 2nd and 3rd string players and still wind up with a 12-4 record, that's doing pretty good.

They disappeared almost as fast as Jamal Lewis and the running game. The Colts were not the better team on Saturday, but the Ravens didn't stick to the running game, rushing Jamal Lewis only 13 times when he averaged 5 yards per carry. Peyton Manning is playing horribly, and they will keep winning until they play an offense that shows loyalty to the running game, which unfortunately for them they do this weekend. If Peyton loses this game, as he has done numerous times before and as he should have done despite the opposing offenses best effort to not win the game, he could be labeled a bigger choke artist than Fran Tarkenton.

People are so quick to jump to conclusions, and then change when they are proven wrong it isn't even funny. It happens in every level of sports, college, pros, everywhere. Everyone said Ohio State was the best team in the nation, and when Florida beats them bad everyone says they sucked all along. I hope the Colts kill the Patriots, and after that I hope they do good. I am not a Colts fan, but they have always been a force to be dealt with.

I'm right here! What have the Colts won yet that counts a damn? NOTHING!!! Manning is playing not to lose & doing a lousy job at that. The only saving thing they have going for them is the Ravens have no offense & the Colts defense played a decent game-------once.

We haven't went anywhere, and really we're Peyton bashers. He's been playing bad, the Ravens played awful. But did anyone really expect the Chiefs to beat the Colts? So you got everyone where you want them, the Championship at home, try to not to let your feet get to happy and pee this thing down your leg Peyton...
