I expected they would pull the starters either after the first series and say to the backups "let's see what you're made of" or (the way the game was going) pull them after more of a lead had been built--maybe 4th Q. Did get to see any of the game? Manning and co. didn't look that great early on (but we've seen that before).
What concerns me much more is to see San Diego on the rise. They have taken us out the last two times. At least it will be played here!
Personally, I think the chances of going to the Super Bowl and winning are still very good. I'll be happy with 15-1 and another championship. Will be interesting to see who represents the NFC. |
Another bad week for the Colts. Looks like they were avoiding injuries ahead of the playoffs, Manning got his 4500 yards and Clark his 100th reception. Following these past two games and what will in effect be a third week off next week will they be ready for the Bengals, Ravens or Jets the week after? Jets have just ended the half 27-0 up - barring an unlikely 2nd half that gets rid of the Texans and keeps the now 3rd seeded Patriots away from the Colts in 2 weeks time.
The weather was the only saving grace here, was it another reason the Colts took it easy this week? At least the Colts won't have to play through falling snow in the playoffs.
And your Chargers fears are building, their second string came back for a win this week - even if it was only against a poor Washington side.
How confident are you now?
