1. Indianapolis should be worried about San Diego. Not only are the Chargers white-hot; they’re the one club that matches up with the Colts. Moreover, they’re not intimidated by Manning or playing in Indy or the Colts’ unbeaten string. It was San Diego that ended a 13-game Colts’ winning streak in 2005, and it happened in Indianapolis. It was the Chargers that eliminated them from the playoffs in 2007, again in Indianapolis, and it was San Diego that eliminated them in 2008. Dating back to 2005, the Chargers have beaten Indy four times in five tries, and the Colts better hope and pray they don’t meet again next month.
The 2005 game is meaningless. There are almost no players left on either team from that game. In the last two seasons Indy has lost three of four to San Diego (three at San Diego), but by a total of 12 points. All the games were close and crazy flukey and Indy wasn’t close to healthy for either of the 2007 games, and didn’t have Brackett for the playoff game last year. San Diego is no more scary than any other team, especially without Brown Williams who was the only real matchup problem
