I hate to be a wet blanket, but I REFUSE to believe Manning should be MVP.
He had one awesome game against a bad team, and NOW we are supposed to hand him the MVP?
Besides, it's too easy to give it to a guy who leads an NFL power to another great season.
Colts win 11 games and have a shot at 12? Big whoop!
I'd still give it to Kurt Warner, who has less firepower and has to win games by himself. Besides, he led Arizona to their first division title in 1975. Colts? Big whoop- they always win double-digit games.
Besides, regardless of how great he is and was, I still see them as a one-and-done team.
If they likely go to Denver, I would be the only guy in America who would pick the Broncos to win.
1. Indy's running game stinks
2. For all of our fawning over every completion he makes, has anyone forgotten he STINKS in cold-weather games that matter?
I'm not ready to say the Colts should get a free pass in the playoffs just because Manning is magnficent.
MVP? Hell no.
Super Bowl run as a darkhorse? Hell no.
This hot streak will get them a one-and-done, IMO.
I don't care who great Peyton is- one man can NOT make up for so many flaws.
I'm calling it right now- Colts are going DOWN in Denver in two weeks! (Unless San Diewgo makes a miraculous run- then, I'd insert the Chargera)
