Its a flawed philosphy that works okay if peyton is there.Peyton exstends drives puts up td's and forces teams to throw.With freeney and mathis that works in our favor.Take number 18 away and this is your answer.

I hear you, but this "philosophy" sucks because that puts too much pressure on Peyton and the offense to basically have to score touchdowns on every single possession(which by the way are limited b/c of the current style of "defense"). This is unfair. The offense is not afforded the room to have an "off" game. Now with Peyton being gone, the entire team, and we as fans are paying the price for it.

btw..I'm new to the forum so I can't post anymore today..and maybe that's a good thing with the mood that I'm in, but I hope to see a lot of you guys around here during the season. It helps when things are bad to have fellow fans to vent with and discuss things with going forward...Have a good week(although it will be hard after today).

That d is average at best and only with peyton getting them out in front,still getting gashed against the run.The tradition continues.

I don't understand this for the life of me!....year after year after year..this run defense..or lack thereof...it's ALWAYS bad..we're constantly getting dominated in time of possession, and we can never get off the field on 3rd down. This is infuriating to watch over and over. When are they going to give up this idea of playing small ball on the d-line??..will we EVER get bigger?..meaner?

I don't have much more to add to what you guys have already said. This is really BEYOND embarrassing. I've never understood why EVERY single year the Colts philosophy has always been to rely only on Peyton to do everything. I love Peyton, but this is so unfair to him and to the team. He should have never been put into a position to where he seemingly alone HAS to carry this team on his shoulders. This is a TEAM game!..Why doesn't Bill Polian see this??...I don't know..this just really makes me sick!...and Bill Polian gets revered as one of the great general manager's in the NFL??..I don't see why. I'm sorry if I am just being really negative, but I'm just extremely frustrated and sad at the sad time. We wait seemingly forever after the Superbowl up until the start of the season, and to start off with this???..This just feels like it's going to be a LONG and wasted season...a COMPLETE waste..and what's more sickening is that we're going to have to hear the media talk OVER AND OVER AND OVER about how horrible the Colts are....I'm not shocked, but I'm just numb right now...

**Get well soon, Peyton. We love you and appreciate everything that you've done.**
