I won't lie - I fear PLAYING Indy more than any other opponent in the AFC playoff picture. Here's my secret hope : someone (SD, Cincy) takes them down before the AFCCG and NE gets to play another opponent. Even playing in Pittsburg seems less scary right now. Don't even know wy - Indy's D looked weak for 3 quarters... I just always have that feeling Manning's gonna win it (ever since 06 - before it was quite the opposite).

Mayo: ”To be honest, I have the ultimate respect for Tedy and everything he’s done for this organization. But he’s not in this locker room at this point in time,” Mayo said. ”He doesn’t know the feelings that this defense or that this team has. We still have our confidence. We still have our swagger. We’re going to go out Sunday and show the media, I guess.”

Gotta say, Mayo is one big swinging richard

Remember one thing..........
Reche Caldwell isn't going to drop a ball right in his hands to seal the win..
He is no longer the WR1 of this team, he'd be fighting for the #3 spot now....


That still hurts....

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums

I'm not afraid of Indy. I hope O'Brien and Pees learned their lessons from this game. If they did, we should be able to take out Indy in a rematch.

Actually, Brady did. They got the necessary yardage for the first down. It was an incorrect mark and anyone who has seen all of the available angles knows this. Not whining, just a fact. Blown call, game over, move on.

I don't fear Indy. I think Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are much better teams overall and are more serious contenders.

Right now my best guess at how the AFC will end up is:

1. Indy
2/3. Cincinnati/NE.
4. San Diego (with Orton's injury I think Denver fades fast)
5. Pittsburgh
6. One of Denver, Baltimore or Houston

I think we end up either the #2 or #3 seed. If #2 we get a bye. If #3 we host Denver/Baltimore/Houston, and I think win handily. Either way I think we end up playing Cincinnati, at home or on the road. That would be a very good game the way Cincy is playing right now, but I think our playoff experience and TB give us an edge.

I think the winner of Pittsburgh/San Diego (I give the edge to Pittsburgh) is a bad matchup for Indy. Indy will have their work cut out to beat either team, if they play well. Pittsburgh's defense should be able to get enough pressure on Manning to allow Polamalu to make some plays. I think Pittsburgh will be able to run the ball at will on Indy. Even if Indy wins, I think they get physically beat up.

Personally, I think the Pats are itching for another chance at Indy.

Mayo's comments got the attention of Pro Football Weekly, which had this to say:

"Prior to the Indianapolis game, without the question even being finished, rookie S Patrick Chung told PFW that Jerod Mayo was becoming the leader of the Patriots' defense. But really he started the process last season, when Chung still was at Oregon, and Mayo has been needed no more than at this time. Many observers have said that head coach Bill Belichick's fourth-down decision at Indy was a slap in the face of his defense, but Mayo said the defense has turned that notion on its head. "We looked at it as a challenge," he said. "People say that it was a lack of confidence in us, but we looked at it as a challenge and we looked at it as Coach having enough confidence in us to give us a short field. Unfortunately, we were unable to step up to the challenge and get the job done." Team insiders expect Mayo to lead the charge down the stretch and play his best football of the season, all while carrying this young defense on his back from a leadership standpoint, as well."

Time to step up, Mayo, and carry this D to the next level.
