I'll say this much. I wouldn't want to be the week one opponent of the Colts next season. You could safely bet that Manning will still be pissed off.

Honestly, to me Reggie Wayne is an Alvin Harper, i.e. a number two receiver serving as a number one. I think they need a true number one, and while I think Anthony Gonzalez is good, I don't think he fits that mold either.

They also need a consistent run game...The only downside to having Manning is the amount they pay him takes away from other parts

The old Barry Sanders dilemma.

They've built an O-line that's primarily made up of pass blockers, which makes sense with Peyton back there. Still, regardless of how great the Qb is, if you're one-sided, eventually it can come back to bite you.

yeah..Thats why I always felt the saints would pull it out..I know Peytons a great QB but his salary and pass blocking Oline and no run game.will kill you every time.

Indy and SD are both running into problems in the post season because of the inability to grind it out between the tackles.

Both teams can throw the rock all over the field, but they ranked 31 and 32 in the NFL in rushing. That poo comes back to haunt you in the playoffs, hence Indys' and SD's early bow outs each year...for the most part.

SD couldn't win a playoff game when they could run either. Of course their ground game needs some improvement, and they should be looking at some of the backs that are going to be there when they make their first round selection

indys biggest problem is their undersized defensive line. Freeney is the only guy there whose talent offsets the size disadvantage he has so his starting is justified

I just take entertainment value from the fact that Dallas in ONCE AGAN listed as one of the favorites. Makes it even sweeter when they screw the pooch and blow it again.

Well, they won 13 games three years ago and 12 last year, didn't they? They got the December monkey off their back this year. I think they are dangerous, especially since they host the Super Bowl.

You do realize that this is the first year they have been 1 and done since 04 right?

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
