Yep, I second this.

Lots of good points made in this thread. I think it's as simple as this: We ain't holding the Colts under 20, and the Colts won't be doing it to us either. A late kick, turnover, or ST play could make the difference. This is anybody's game.

This is the best analysis of the game in the entire thread. Nobody knows who will make the handful of plays or mistakes that this game will turn on, but you can bet that both teams will put some points on the board against the other's defense. Unless Manning or Brees just has a really bad day, I can't see either team pulling away.

Yup. I've got to agree. I expect both QB's will play quality ball overall. I don't expect many mistakes, but I do expect some and they will most likely be critical.

Flip of the coin. Both sides are exceptionally good. Offensively, the 2 best QBs are coming in and Mr Manning is probably the best. Without any shadow of a doubt, the Colts will score and score some. But so will the Saints. The Saints will give up a big play or two in the air and the Colts will probably get one big play rushing. Can Manning escape the Saints secondary that will come and come again with the overall defense applying all-game pressure. I think not totally. If the Saints get two breaks there then along with the ST we have a game breaker. It is that close.

I completely agree with this.

If we play like we did for the first 5 weeks we are golden! If we play like we did against Washington or the VIks we are screwed!!

Colts can be held to 20 or less

1 Sun, Sep 13 Jacksonville W 14-12

8 Sun, Nov 1 San Francisco W 18-14

9 Sun, Nov 8 Houston W 20-17

11 Sun, Nov 22 @ Baltimore W 17-15

16 Sun, Dec 27 NY Jets L 15-29

17 Sun, Jan 3 @ Buffalo L 7-30

DIV Sat, Jan 16 Baltimore W 20-3

The Saints are better than those teams who held the Dolts to a low scoring game. Granted, Manning wasn't in two of those games...

The Vikings are built exactly like teams that we've struggled with since Brees/Peyton arrived.

But the thing is, the colts have made a lot of changes. Let's cut through the BS. Both teams deserve to be here, and it should be a good game. The only thing I take away from this year is, that every game the Colts wanted to win, they have. I know there are no moral wins in the NFL, but we are undefeated when our starters play. Just sayin.

Remember Dallas?

Was that a real loss, or were you just playing with them?

Yup! Just like you said. When our starters played. As key ones did not against Dallas. Good point!

The colts are also undefeated when the starters play the whole game. So?

Don't you people realize the NFL is tough? People say that you "barely won" or "it wasn't convincing". Throw that stuff out the window. This is the big boys league last time I checked. There are millionaires on every team. Just because you don't "blow out" every team doesn't mean squat.
