We are down to championship Sunday. The Jets come into town feeling strong and ready. Pundits and Jets fans go on about their awesome defense and how no one can score on the mighty Jets. Somehow seven teams managed to score more points than the Jets. In fact, the Indy starters scored more than the Jets until they were yanked in that infamous game a few weeks ago. The Colts offense has managed to outperform a Rex Ryan defense pretty much every time they have played in the past decade.
The 'run the ball and use up the clock plan' has not worked so well against the Colts in recent years. Ask Miami how that worked out for them. You have to be able to outscore the Colts to win. If the Horseshoes jump out to a lead and Sanchez is forced to throw the ball, the Colts win going away.
Hate to say it, but I'm rooting for the underdogs. Then once the Colts stomp the Jets, I'll be behind them.
ReplyDeleteBetter have that box of Kleenex from the post below handy. Peyton's going down!
ReplyDeleteWe realize of course the CBS talking heads will be all about the coaster team, and that will make it all the more beautiful when the Colts win. Expect the coverage bias to be thicker than a leftists head, til Indy stoves it in with an "unexpected" win.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great if Dan Rather got a contract, so we could watch him cry also when the Colts win?
