After watching what I thought was the best performance in Manning's career against the Vikings on sunday I don't think the Colts would have the luxury of being able to play well and overcoming the loss of Peyton because I think the Indy defense is just not as good as New England's
Peyton was beat up,mangled and dodging Viking's defensive backs and linemen all game but got up,dusted himself off and directed drives to be able to put Indy in position to win that game after not getting much help and trailing 15-0 into the 3rd quarter.
While the defense had a few takeovers to help the Colts win, I think if Sorgi was in there it simply would have been way too much to overcome.
While I am not saying this season will be successful right now because Cassel is still very raw and the team is untested against better teams,I still think this team should be able to consistently put a solid defense on the field to keep New England within reach of most games while I just think the Indy defense would be overwhelmed with trying to keep the Colts offense with Sorgi in command in the same position.
I think this season answers the question that the Colts would be destroyed without Peyton - The Patriots are hurting but still able to play well so far despite the fact that it was 2 scrub teams they beat
Even though I can't stand the guy as a player,I gained respect for Manning after what he said with class regarding Brady and I was even more impressed how he practically took victory from the hands of defeat on sunday almost as if it was a one man show on offense - it was masterful and so Brady-Like,its amazing how Brady and Manning are so similar and special in a sport today which lacks QBs with the Balls to do stuff like this consistently and great.
Without Brady the Patriots could still win 10 games
Without Manning the Colts would be picking in the top 10 in the draft
