If Manning was at 50% he would have destroyed the Colts. He was clearly injured badly for many weeks...
Reading the crap about Bill & Tom & Cheating is a fucking joke. People spend way too much time looking at the bullshit instead of what's right in front of our face.
Pats defense is STELLAR one of their best ever in Brady's career...
Wayne, Hilton & That pussy Fleener are about to get a rude awakening.

to play devil`s advocate,the pats defense wasn`t exactly on point vs the ravens last week...they gave up over 400 yards total offense last week on their home field (with fossils steve smith sr,owen daniels and Justin forsett manning the hub skill positions for b`more)...the offense was forced to come back from 14 point deficits...twice.......
they were a joe flacco bad decision away from possibly being home sitting on their couches today....
and the colts defense shut manning and Denver down as well as I`ve seen them shut down last week....their def backfield looked like like they were glued to Denver`s receivers from the second qtr on...very little yac for Denver vs the colt defense(vontae davis in particular...he looked like he should have been wearing a seahawk uni)..... some say peyton`s alleged quad injury was the reason...but,it`s playoff time and you have to sack up...seems that romo(with broken bones in his back) and Rodgers(basically playing on one leg) managed to keep their respective teams competitive...
I`m just saying that (and it`s possibly an anomaly,who knows?)that there is enough evidence to cast some ?? on such a definitive statement based on last week`s performances.....
on the other hand,the larger body of evidence favors the pats history vs the colts....
home field is a big advantage and I favor both home teams to get it done,but not with a ton of confidence....
just sayin`...
