Peyton didnt have too many problems in stretches with that secondary. With an honest running game last night (addai), the result may have been different.
No mistaking though...they are a physical football team.

Their receivers suck. Obviously they're going to lose 2-3 games in the regular season at some point, likely on the road, but from a perspective of the playoffs, who's going in there and beating them?
5-2 Buffalo- their weakness (secondary) wouldn't be exploited but probably a year away from being an elite team, and are showing to be much better at home than on the road
5-2 New England- not with Cassel at QB and a hodgepodge running game, and difficulty stopping a good running game
5-2 Pittsburgh- possibly, but need to be healthy
anybody in the South or West- nope
I think they're 4/5 to make the Super Bowl right now assuming they can stay reasonably healthy.
