With the Seahawks out, I lack a personal tie to any team now. But I've adopted the Colts, mainly from awe at Manning's amazing ascendance. I feel like I'm watching Fouts-era Chargers, or just about any of the QBs of my youth -- Bradshaw, Staubach, Montana, Marino, Tarkenton. Not so much in regard to his style of play, but in the way he seems to have such total command of the action. Their offense is so versatile and loaded and he runs it flawlessly.
The Steelers are my backup, because they've been so steadily good under Cowhers for so long, and he deserves to win a Super Bowl one of these years.

I won't let my love for you bother me, WHAR--but I think the Colts have a chance this weekend. Sure, they don't have a 100% defense, and they're not always the best road team, but I have faith.
Besides, we've got a two-time MVP. That has to count for something, right?

Yes, the CFL is pretty funny.. but there's only one Roughriders these days
I once went to a Toronto Argonauts game and it was the dullest experience of my life
there are only 9 teams and they all have horrible names:
BC Lions
Calgary Stampeders
Edmonton Eskimos
Saskatchewan Roughriders
Winnipeg Bluebombers
Hamilton Tigercats
Toronto Argonauts
Ottawa Renegades
Montreal Alouettes

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

I saw the Colts play against Denver last week, and have never seen an offense that was so powerful and dominant, except maybe the 49'ers in their prime. Their much maligned D stuck the hell out of the Broncos and punished them consistently. While the Pats have a great D, their D backs are injured and I don't imagine that they can stop the 3 receiver set that the Colts run, especially when they also have two athletic tight ends/H backs who can run and catch, not to mention James, who is one of the best runners in the league.
YA the Colts have a lousy D, but they have been improving and they have a good pass rush.
Everybody tries to blitz Peyton, but last week the Broncos gave up blitzing after about two drives, as they didn't get any pressure at all because of Manning's ability to throw the ball to a spot before his reciever even makes the cut.
GO RAIDERS by the way........ what a bunch of chumps.

Cope, it's the same offense they had in week 1 when New England stopped them, and the same offense they had in the playoffs last year.
They won't have Ty Law this weekend, but I don't think that really makes a difference, because they are stacked in the secondary (and The Wilson Effect along with Rodney Harrison don't even need cornerbacks).
Their offense isn't even as good as the Chief offense. The Colts 'one year fury' will be over next year, where as the Chief 'four year priest dominance' will continue for many years to come (as the great Larry Johnson takes his place when the time comes).
