p. manning vs the 3-4

Oh I think Bethea Freeney Mathis are all excellent pro bowl calibor players. And Brackett is a great reliable linebacker.

I dont know about Hayden and Sessions and Bullitt being starter quality for any team though

 

Hayden makes huge plays in huge games, Bullitt doesn't get the national attention only because he is Bob Sanders backup, and Sessions might be the best defensive player on the team (outside Freeney).

 

I pretty much posted this thread a few days ago...

 

I cant wait to see this game play out. Did you guys watch the NFLN replay the other day of the first game.

Lets not forget that you did lose 7 games to ....Miami (2x), Buff, Jac, NE, Atl, and NO. That in its self is very telling.

 

And with some luck we would have won some of those games...

Fact is we deserve to be where we are

 

4 of those are divisional rivals.

Indy didnt exactly perform too impresive against the jags 2x, and NE either.

Hell they have a whole slew of games decided by 1 score or less

 

I agree. That's why I keep saying this game is going to be much closer than most people think.

 

This.

Aside from all of the homers being...well...homers in this thread the facts are the colts are very good on both sides of the ball and peyton may be the best to ever play. However, the Jets actually match up reasonably well on paper. It's going to come down to execution and getting after manning. Should be a great game.

Good luck, Colts.
