OK...some of you "stat" freaks, need help with some QB ratings on manning vs. Culpepper. Things are heating up with the Colt fans, and I need some ammo....tell me we got some, right??

Everyone will agree that PM holds his own, and is a good QB, they feel he is what the Colts revolve around, if he is crap, the team is crap. All the cookies are on PM...don't know if the rest of the team buys that, but could be.

With the way the D has been playing, you are absolutely correct.

Everything seems to evolve around Manning.

Welcome aboard dread sorry about the fact

We can't go into GB with two losses, sorry.

We already have our quota of straight losses with two in a row.

This one could get ugly.

Your avatar is all wrong, where is 88? Where is Harrison? We demand to have undersized WRs or any WRs on your avatar.

Reminds me of Do The Right Thing.

By the way, Indy is like the mirror image all the way around to the Vikes.
The city, the (few tall scrapes) skyline, the offense, the lack of D, the Domes look similar smaller market teams, top QBs, top WRs, good RBs. Triplets for WRs.

We are playing ourselves this weekend. No matter what the outcome is we all win. :drunken:

Intro to see if it peaks your interest:

Daunte Culpepper and Peyton Manning are both putting up huge numbers, the kind that will push Dan Marino's passing records for yards and touchdown passes in a season.
Daunte Culpepper is huge for a QB and punishes defenders when he takes off to run.

They are both having those rub-your-eyes-to-see-if-it's-true seasons, quarterbacking Nos. 1 and 2 in total offense. Culpepper's Minnesota Vikings are averaging 431.4 yards per game, with Manning's Indianapolis Colts right behind at 414.

wow finally a colts fan. I knew theyd be around by midweek.

THis one could end up being 52-51 with both defenses being as bad as a pop warner team.

However i think the vikes have a better d then the colts d with all those injuries.

I wonder if mckinnie will shut down freeney as hes the only threat i worry about on the colts d. I remember reading an article about mckinnie shutting down freeney while miami played syracuse in his senior year i believe.

Mckinnnie is a beast, ever since that game he played like crap hes had some of his better games as a pro. If i was a DL he's proly the last Olineman i would want to see. At least we can depend on Mckinnie to shut down the opposing teams best DL instead of nat dorsey. Although nat is playin well for a young rookie.

I don't know if Freeney is a RE or a LE, but if the Colts were smart they would line him up as a LE at least some of the game against our rookie Nat Dorsey. Dorsey has played much better the past few weeks, but still with how good Freeney is that will be a tough matchup for Nat!
