I don't even make the slightest yelp anymore when Peyton throws a perfect pass to Reggie Wayne or Marvin Harrison and they make some ridiculous catch. If any other reciever would have made that one crazy TD catch that Harrison made, there would be a hugh "OHHHH!". With Harrison, I just blinked and went, "yep".
I just expect it to happen.
Though the defense still hasn't proven they can't get trampled on the run. Was very un-Belichick how their gameplan wasn't to just run it down the throats of the Colts and exploit their weakness. There's no doubt in my mind Maroney and Dillon would've gotten it done.

If the recent Bengals/Chargers game has told us anything, it's that some teams just don't know how to play defense properly. Somewhere close to 900 total yards + 90 total points scored the whole game = weak defense on both teams, regardless of how exciting the game may have been.
As for my own favorite team, I hate to say it, but this Sunday, they're screwed. Cowboys vs. Colts...Regardless of how great Tony Romo's been playing since getting the starting QB position, there's no way he's gonna out-quarterback Peyton Manning. Of course, I'm not at all convinced that Peyton Manning's the mighty QB his stats make him out to be, because he's known to choke in the post-season. And it'll be an upset if the Cowboys snap the Colts' undefeated streak. And besides, no team since the 72 Dolphins has won a Super Bowl on an undefeated season, let alone go undefeated since the Regular Season was extended to 16 games. Therefore, you can count on the Colts' undefeated winning streak being snapped sometime this season, whether it's during the regular season, or in the post-season.Last edited by Bloodline666; 11-16-2006 at 05:56 AM.

The Colts don't have a solid defense, a solid running game, and have not proven that they can win in the playoffs. I don't expect them to be able to beat a Denver or San Diego in the playoffs. That being said, they'll get home field advantage and first week bye again (which is probably bad for them), and they're the best team in this regular season. They might even go undefeated. Dallas can beat them if they can get to Manning. That's how San Diego and Pittsburgh beat them last year. However, Dallas's defense is not Pittsburgh's of last year, so it's unlikely to happen.
And yeah, the Bengals can't play defense. And San Diego's defense has gotten a lot worse.

The Colts already expressed they don't care about records. Believe me, once they get guaranteed homefield advantage, they'll rest their starters. Thus it's pretty much impossible for them to go undefeated unless Jim Sorgi suddenly got amazing enough to overcome their terrible run defense like Peyton is.
On your other point, the Chargers have a good defense, Carson Palmer was just a man on fire. Though, I don't think I can say the same about Cincinatti. When the Broncos lost to the Colts in a shootout, it didn't make me doubt the Broncos D any. Peyton is just a beast and they didn't pressure him enough. No matter how good you are, if a good QB has time, he'll find cracks. I think more credit ought to go to the O-Line of the Bengals for blocking an impressive front seven (even without Merriman) quite effectively.

I couldn't belive the Bears pulled that win out over NY Giants, I went to bed sure that they would lose and that grossaman needed his arms chopped off in a timely manner. Bears are going all ther way, Miami beat them and that's an omen

Talk about an upset; the Dallas Cowboys have snapped the Colts' undefeated winning streak.
The Colts are no longer undefeated.

And they did it by getting to Manning, who chokes when he's pressured. Those two passes in the endzone were WAY overthrown.

GO DALLAS!
Oh and the Bears won woohoo! although Rex did very little, he had no turnovers! and Thomas Jones Rushed for over 100 yards again. Nice to see him back into it. He really is a good back.

And the Madden video-game cover and Campbell's Soup curses strike yet again, simultaneously involving the same player for the second straight season; Donovan McNabb, who was on a Campbell's Soup commercial some while back, as well as on the cover of last year's Madden NFL 06 and got injured last year as well (his injury from last year was eclipsed by the T.O. saga, especially his feud with him), suffered a torn right ACL in the Eagles' loss to the Titans, and is out for the season. The Eagles' Loss, coupled with the Cowboys' win, moves Dallas to second in the NFC East, trailing the Giants in the division by half a game (Giants play the Jaguars tomorrow night).

Well, obviously people knew what they were talking about (not me, I picked the Colts).
