Indianapolis has endured the postseason indignity of losing at New England twice, the shock of losing at home to Pittsburgh and even getting shut out by the New York Jets.

It’s not a postseason trend they like, but the only way the Colts can change their image as Team October is to start winning in January.

I honestly think they are going to be out again. They can't stop the run, and do we forget who is going to be in the backfield against Peytie Pie? His old nemesis Ty Law. Peytie (not to mention his GM, NaPolian) must be a psychological mess of paranoia this week! The Football Gods have conspired to deny them their rightful glory again!! Who made the rules that allowed Kansas City into the playoffs? We've got to tweak that rule in the offseason so that this doesn't happen to us again.

i may be in the minority here but i think colts can win. its all on that offense, if they get a lead, then that colts defense doesnt need to worry abt the run much because most OC's in teams dont run patiently for 4 quarters, all it needs is 2-3 stops for that D, and teams may help out by throwing on first down a couple of times. If the jags can put 30 on the chiefs on the road than manning should surely have a good day.
Their defense is a big liability no question but the reason they won 12 games is because their offense puts so much pressure on the opposition to score quickly.
Conversly if KC gets some sort of lead...it may spell doom for indy. I remember after the pats game here manning said that the pats won the toss but we kept them out of the endzone and were able to take the lead...thats their main focus in all games.

I agree.

I don't see Indy punting or settling for three all day!

"Indignity of losing to New England twice"? Whatever.
