Peyton Manning Part I - In search of Frodo’s ring
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Every year at some point we all think Peyton Manning is going to finally get his Super Bowl Ring. In fact, it is almost assumed that he will have one before he retires. Sometimes we get confused and believe he already has one.
The Colts see Peyton throwing all these passes for touchdowns and still no Ring. How can Peyton not have a ring? Even Frodo had a Ring!
The Indy faithful are keeping the faith.
Get Tony and get defense, maybe
The Indianapolis Colts braintrust decides they need defense, so they look around for… the best person to get that done and go get Tony Dungy to be their coach.
Tony believes in Defense. The Tampa two. How good is the Tampa two? Well, Chicago runs it and nobody can move the ball on Chicago. (Don’t tell anyone that Detroit runs it and everyone can run the ball on Detroit)
The defense has not worked. Still we didn’t care, did we, because Indy just kept rolling. Week after week they won ballgames and talked about Indy being Big Time. They were a for sure contender for the Super Bowl.
Indianapolis (10-3)
Plus: The Colts have stretched their legs only once in the past five games, a 45-21 victory over Philadelphia, but their Peyton Manning-led offense has the talent to make any game a shootout. They pile up yards but must return to piling up points.
Minus: The run defense. It’s the league’s worst: 5.4 yards a carry, 176.5 yards a game. The Colts can’t get off the field on third down, can’t force the passes that turn into sacks, fumbles, interceptions and opportunities. Punt and kick coverage are among the NFL’s worst and the injury list is long. source
For 9 straight weeks they won ballgames and we believed. What happened after that?
