Rolled most of the year. Great great passing game. Marvin was still in his prime for Gods sake. Great RB in Edge. Great o line. The D was statistically one of the better Colts Ds in the Manning era. So, they get some injuries and they lose to the Chargers week 14 at home WITH Peyton in there. Chargers own us so maybe that was the issue.  After that game is was like the season was over. Sorgi became the new QB pretty much. And heck the kid won a game so the Colts ended 14-2. But, thank God they rested Peyton and key players for the SB run!!!!  So what happens? Colts go into the playoffs and get rolled by a Steelers team in the divisional round. Colts offense was flat for a full half. The comeback was too little too late. The D got owned. The Colts beat the Steelers that regular season. The Steelers in the playoffs had more urgency, more fire and were just less rusty.  Of course I don't think I can convince you Bogart. You are almost set against not resting guys. I hope you won't be upset if the Packers do go 16-0 since the chances are high based on the 3 remaining games.</blockquote>
