This is another point which I would like to see addressed. Can someone please tell me how or why the defense was so "gassed" considering that we held the ball for almost 36 minutes compared to the Colts 25 minutes? We DOMINATED time of possession. If the defense was so gassed, perhaps it's time to start cranking up the windsprints during practice.
Personally, I think that people are mistaking "gassed" with just playing some ****ty prevent defense. You could almost see Manning's eyes light up midway through the third quarter.
