I don't know. When the Colts are at full strength, the Chargers have beaten them (in Indy). I don't think it is as simple as the Colts moving up and down the field. The key will be the pressure that the Chargers always (to this point and in the last 2 times they have met) seem to put on Manning. If you pressure Manning, he will make mistakes, especially in the playoffs. The Colts should win, but defensive pressure can change everything. The Chargers have consistently shown that they can make that happen against the Colts.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: Chargers at Colts

The only ray of hope I have, is that the last several times they've played the Chargers have handled the Colts pretty well. Even when fully healthy Indy has never protected Manning well against the Chargers front 7.

That being said, I'd be lying if I said I was confident of a Chargers win.

I think it could be a big game for addai. I won't predict the outcome though, I think the colts will either make it out of reach starting early, or it will go to the wire.

Whats up, BK. I think that if you guys had Antonio Gates, that would be a toss up game. But since it appears that he will not play, the pressure is squarely on your defense. Your running game should be effective, but if I were Norv, I would definitely use LT more out of the backfield, with Gates probably being out.

Your D has done it in the past, you never know, man.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: Chargers at Colts

It would take another horrible game from Manning in order for the Chargers to win again. I just dont see that happening, so I will take the Colts over the Chargers 31-17. And I see 250 Passing yards and 3 TDs from Manning.

It's all dependant on the pass rush. If they abuse Manning like they did when they ended Indy's 13 game win streak, they have a shot.

The one thing SD has that it didn't in that game, is Chris Chambers, he's opened up the offense. But not having Gates, will make it so tough, as he opens up the middle of the field for everyone, and causes match up problems with whomever they play.
