-We just beat the Steelers and Colts in back to back games. The last time anyone did that was New England in the 2004 Playoffs. :eek:

-Chung is still hurt and its very obvious. He's wearing a knee brace. Never a good sign, especially for a DB. I dont think he gets burned twice if he's healthy.

-We're lucky this was a home game. It wouldve gone the other way in Indy. Peyton doesnt choke as much at home. Now we should have home field over the Colts in the Playoffs, which is a huge advantage for us since it will be even colder and windier (harder to throw).

-Peyton Manning had 4 INTs coming into the game. We picked him off 3 times. Almost as much as he's been picked the entire season.

-Our defense played great until they went to Prevent. I wanting to see some blitzing to get Manning rattled. In the same fashion as all year, they gave up alot of yardage, but made plays when it counted most.
 
Well they did play great until they doid whatever they do in the 4 quarter of Blowouts. Because its sure not preventing anything. If Peyton is not sailing another one of his throws in the last second, that game and 31-35 and we would have rightfully lost.

OTOH Peyton was throwing bad passes all day long, either through miscommunication or bad throws. there were at least 3 more balls almost intercepted, where the Defender had clearly better position to the spot he was throwing to than the colts receivers.

When anybody needs any more prrof, that or guys were running up the score a bit in 07 then just look at thios season. Even after we have proven throice, that we cannot protect a 3score lead, with 10 minutes to go, they are still running it into the line on first and second down, instead of given them the brady clinical, like they did in the first 3 quarters.

Overall lets just hope, one of the other AFCS incompetencies uses the chance we gave them and prevents a playoff rematch.
