To be fair to Manning, he doesnÆt always struggle against the 3-4. But if you look at his worst playoff performances, itÆs been against teams that run the 3-4. What is it about the 3-4 that makes it so hard for the Colts offense, and in particular Manning and the offensive line, to be successful against it? To be fair, most quarterbacks struggle against the 3-4, itÆs just a matter of ...

Anthony Gonzalez should be ready to return to the Colts starting lineup in the next week or two. The problem for the Colts is what to do with him when he comes back. Do they leave Garcon on the outside as the No. 2, and put Anthony in the slot, sharing time with Austin Collie, or should ôGonzoö get his old job back, and Garcon be his backup?

  If there is one thing worse than the Colts fans bashing of Brady, it’s the flat out hatred of Manning that comes out of the mouths of Patriots fans. Maybe it’s because it’s so damn cold up there in Boston, and everyone has to find something to be pissed off about, but the rhetoric about Manning varies from such intelligent comments like “Manning sucks!” to, when they’re not getting drunk to ...
