Colts

Why do the Colts " have our number?"
Maybe it's me, but I just do not think they are that good.
Let's see what happens next week...

For some reason, our coaching staff gets intimidated by Manning, and at some point they try to match Manning on the passing level, aka make Joe Flacco start throwing to "match" Peyton. Not gonna happen. We needed to stick to our gameplan but didnt. Thats why we lost

It's tough to stick to a gameplan when you're down 17-3. The running game was decent in the first half but once the team fell behind, it didn't make sense to continue pounding the rock for marginal gains.

The Colts have simply been the better team whenever they've faced the Ravens in recent years. Other than 2006, where I felt the Ravens were the better team, the Ravens haven't had the offensive firepower to stay with the Colts, even though the defense has played well.

Colts are built to go to the SB this year. I mean they went 14-0 before resting starters this year. Teams don't go 14-2 and not make the SB

Ravens don't play well against a Cover 2, like the Bengals run. Manning is the best Qb in the modern era doesn't hurt either

Its for one reason, they dont use Heap over the middle to pull the safeties back because hes constantly blocking. If you recall we moved the ball with Heap against the Colts in 06 over the middle. In fact McNair became so locked on Heap at points in the game he tried to force the ball to him when Indy compensated coverage for Heap over the middle.

I would like to play against Curtis Painter, instead of Peyton Manning.
