The Colts should beat Chicago by a couple of touchdowns and Manning will finally get his ring, then we won't have to feel guilty about knocking Manning out of the playoffs next year. We have a couple of first round draft picks coming.
Trivia: how many players on the Pats 2001 Super Bowl winning team are still on the team? Answer: 3. Brady, Brown and Bruschi.
And don't forget the coaches that went elsewhere, as well.
I was stunned when the local Colts coverage said that only 18 players (of 45?) remained from the last playoff loss to the Pats, which took place on Jan 16, 2005... only 2 years and 5 days before this game! It took me a while to realize that we really have lost several big names, not just back-ups... Edgerrin James, Mike Peterson, Marcus Pollard, Mike Venderjagt, Brandon Stokeley (IR), etc.
