Do you feel better about the D?

Great points Mike. There is much cause for optimism, but it would be silly to get carried away. To beat Indy in Indy we will not only need to play our best game, we will need the Colts to stumble (into one of BB's traps). But that has always been the case with these two teams in the playoffs. We don't annihilate you. We just play you tough enough and smart enough to create opportunities for you to fluster. And if you do we've been ready in the past to capitalize. Watching Peyton of late there is still that flusterability factor lurking just beneath the surface. If we can get to it, we can win. Six weeks ago we had no chance. Approaching the playoffs we're "dangerous". Short of getting Harrison and Light back, I think that is the best we could have hoped for. We're a much better team now than the one Indy beat earlier, and Indy is just a little more vulnerable heading into the playoffs than they've been since early in the season.
