Re: *******OFFICIAL Ravens vs Colts Thread*******
Thoughts after the game (because I know you were all waiting)
1) Love the calls, no IC/PI on Balt, but give it to the Colts. Both were penelties, both need calls.
2) Wow, Adam V. really can't miss.
3) Manning played a bad game against the best D in the league. McNair played a bad game against one of the best D's in the league (hey look they're healthy again). Both QBs got pressured and the Ravens especially played alot of deep cover on the Colts. Peyton played hard, but was forced to make marginal throws at best (unless he wanted to constantly scramble/throw it away).
Peyton is one of the best QBs in NFL history, but when teams decide "We will not let Manning beat us", they have to allow Manning to opt to run and win slower, closer games. Look at the scores in the past:
"Hey let's let Manning's arm beat us, we'll just blitz him and he'll fold"=49 TDs and a 121.4 QB rating (uhhh how)!
"Hey let's drop 6-8 back in med-deep coverage and make the Colts run"=12-4 with an average margin of victory in the high single digits.
