The Patriots used to be the only team that could, but as their defense aged and lost players like Ty Law and WIllie McGinest, now they're just another one of those teams that get blown out by Peyton (especially since now they can't cheat anymore). Kenton Keith? Who the hell is this guy and how did he already rush for 2 touchdowns today for Joseph Addai? Anthony Gonzalez? How is he playing as well as Marvin Harrison? Oh, and when are Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning ever going to age?

Nobody has stopped them in close to two years. Manning is the greatest QB of all-time, he has a good line and solid players everywhere. I'm not sure they can be stopped, per se.
The way most NFL teams stop a good offense is taking away strengths and forcing teams to do things they aren't good at (making Denver throw, making SD use someone beside LT, etc.). They do this by overloading a particular scheme, and it can work well.
With Indy, no matter who you take away Manning will find the weakness. He is just too good. Take away Harrison and Wayne, he goes to Clark. Take all that away, he goes to Addai.
The only way to beat Indy is to constantly pressure Manning and hit the only minor flaw he has -- he can get a bit frustrated and force the occasional throw (of course, he just threw his 1st INT in 85 throws today).
This is easier said than done. He has such a quick release and the line is so disciplined, brining pressure means open receivers for Manning find.
Really, I think NE can stop them. They have in the past, and Manning's brilliance is matched only by Bellichecks.
Outside of that, you just have to hope the Colts have a terrible day. You can't beat them -- they have to lose.

Patriots can number 1 ranked defense...and obviously they are still a great team without the camera since their 5-0... congrats on the Jets being 1-4.
