I too am a diehard fan since their days in Baltimore. My Dad was the biggest Johnny U fan ever. He would have loved Peyton had he lived to see him play. I think the SB win was most touching for me because I knew it was something he had be looking forward to since the day they came to Indy.

I wasn't getting to excited either becasue of the running game, but now I am. We win games that we wouldn't have won in years past. Baltimore is supposed to be physical...we went toe to toe with them and won. Stopped them on the goal line 3 times. The defense is number one in point allowed and doesn't just play cover 2 anymore. The running game will get better as they start to use Donald Brown more in the latter part of the season. Right now, the thing I worry the most about is getting out to the big lead and "resting" guys at the end. Seems like we lose our edge when we do that but maybe Caldwell will handle it better.
It's gonna come down to us and NE again. But at least it will be here and it will be a great game! Homefield thru the playoffs means no cold weather games and thats a big advantage.
