What I don't Understand about the Indy Game

[festivus]

If I remember correctly, with one exception Peyton has not put up great numbers against us in the last few years. I don't feel like looking it up, but I'm not the one who raised it as a historical fact, so I don't feel like the burden is on me anyway.

Regardless, my point stands, which is that we can't play a base defense with a badly injured defensive backfield against Peyton Manning and his small army of Pro Bowl receivers. If we cannot leverage our strength - our front 7 - against their strength, we will lose.

Did we lose anyway, badly? Yes. That's the thing with risk. Sometimes it blows up in your face, but it doesn't mean it wasn't worth the roll of the dice.

As per your points, it could also be argued that our game plan was sound but we just didn't execute our blitzes well enough-that if we did, we would have smoked 'em. I understand what you are saying. Don't agree but understand.

Let's just hope they turn it around against Miami and we can be talking about what went right next week.
