If not for the Saints’ brilliance, the world would be fawning over Peyton Manning big-time with the way he’s gotten Indy to 11-0. He’s certainly not following the New Orleans’ dominating script
Indianapolis Colts (11-0)I get the feeling Jim Caldwell is going to approach things a lot like Tony Dungy in terms of easing his foot off the gas as the front-running Colts prepare for the playoffs. But why? That tact largely hasn’t worked for Indy, whose track record of first-round playoff defeats after huge regular seasons is painfully obvious. I say go for the undefeated season and all the hoopla that comes with it. The guys with the horseshoes on their helmets have tried it the other way and somehow the necessary intensity always escapes.
They make it interesting, but they still find a way. The amazing thing is that they are winning yet not healthy. That’s what a good quarterback does for a team.
