Superbowl-Repeat of Texans Game

I have been following Dwight Freeney's ankle updates just like you guys through various media sources. I found some of the best information about ligament tears and other stuff thanks to the knowledgable fan base of the colts . After reading all that am fully convinced Freeney will not be 100% and might not be able to do his spin move. Even at the risk of being bombarded by the other fans , feel Freeney should not be in the lineup if he is not 100% since the Saints will decide to run straight at him .
I have full faith in the abilities of Peyton and beleive we might ultimately triumph..yet am afraid the game might come to an tossup....
The things that are keeping me up late at night.;....
1.If Freeney is not 100% Jerraud Powers needs to be on the field to defend the pass...Atleast I do not wish to see Drew Brees throw 25 passes in the direction of Tim Jennings.
2.Robert Mathis will be double teamed for the most part and if Raheem Brock is the backup for Freeney..he will have to generate pressure on Brees.
3.Saints offense is being mistaken for a low scoring offense after the NFC game...On the contrary they have scored 30 points avg and without freeney it will be a repeat of the Texans game where neither defense will get stops...
4.Larry Coyer will have to go back to a basic Tampa 2 to force Brees to dink and dunk and contain the long passes.
5.The Saints secondary is a ball hawking machine.....contain the turnovers and the snake will be defanged. Dallas Clark is the only one receiver am worried about....Clark is great with TD's but has an habit of dropping passes . I am worried one of those will get returned.
6.Body hits on peyton...I pray this does not happen .....Gregg williams has hit both Kurt Warner and Favre dirty with his defense ....I just hope this does not happen...
I wish so badly that Freeney was allright...we would have demolished the saints . Now this will be classic cardiac colts rerun....
I just wish am wrong....Either way we do not seem to taking the saints seriously and I prefer a bit of realism rather than wild hope that freeney is going to be alright ...No offense intended with this post and this is not an attempt to rain on the parade.
I remember this exact feeling with Brackett missing the AFC championship game in 2008 with the chargers....Bad memories of the run game .... I hope Freeney's injury is not the same .
Go Colts.....

Clark does not have a "habit" of dropping passes
His catch rate is above 65 percent, which is fantastic for a tight end. He has dropped passes, Reggie has dropped passes, everyone drops passes. He also makes circus catches with regularity.
The “habit” is that people have a habit of POINTING OUT that Clark drops passes even though he has some of the most reliable hands in the league, not to mention on the team.
Clark's Drops
Tend to be tipped into the air which is what I think is meant here. Clark does have great hands but I do worry about the likely possibility of a pass being bounced in the air and being a pick 6.

rephrasing ...tend to be tipped into the air
I meant to say Clark atleast in the past ten games has tended to tip his dropped passes into the air. I am afraid if the game comes to an shootout …. one score difference might swing it either way.

Also I just want to say
if the Saints don’t double-team Brock, god help them, because he’s coming for blood. He was beating Jets double-teams last week, and their O-line is much better than the Saints.

you are mistaking me for spaz. probably because of the pessimism . Sorry if I am one of the pessimistic fans around…..
I prefer a healthy dose of realism …rather than get an cardiac arrest at the end. I used to be on the homerisim bandwagon for the past 3-4 yrs…..some of the painful memories taught me to balance it with a dose of realism.

A lot of us are being realist.
We have Mathis and Brock this time, and our offense started off cold in Houston.

I don't think this defense is about just one guy.

Freeney is the defense equivalent of Manning
Freeney is the equivalent of Manning on defense…Many coaches gameplan exclusively to block freeney. How many times has belicheck commented that he needed to gameplan specifically for Freeney.
Same goes for Kubiak and others……
This defense is built around the speed of Freeney and Mathis

Why don't the Colts use Donald Brown more???
He seems really talented. I thought he would have beat out Addai for the starting gig by now. The Saints run D is their achilles heel. Brown could do some damage.

Because of this...

I deserve a Super Bowl because karma knows that I've suffered enough and that it is my fate and destiny and that I'm due on the 7th of February. I'm indeed naming him Lombardi.
Few reasons
1 – Brown has been injured a couple of times throughout the season
2 – He has shown flashes of rookie… missed blocking assignments, lining up on the wrong side, etc. – not bad, but enough to be a liability at times
3 – Our O-Line is just not a run blocking line… my perception is that Addai is used to pounding through where the O-Line gives him a bit of space, but Brown seems to burst through only when he gets a bigger opportunity
How can you not love a team that does this?
I was thinking about this earlier
I could see this game being practically step-by-step the exact same game as the Texans game. Down by 17, make a huge comeback, big defensive score practically clinches win.
Sak vide pa kanpe
I'd prefer how we did it against the Rams game
but a W is a W, and I’ll take it either way
How can you not love a team that does this?
Glad to know you thought the same
Ya dont know what to say at this point of time…. Just praying that Peyton gets his second and becomes the greatest qb of all time…..
I do not want to think of the alternatives.

Personally
I’d prefer a repeat of the last Colts-Saints game.

I'm not worried about the Colts
Manning has already said that losing is not an option. He’s in the zone right now, as is the entire team. I trust him. And, since losing is not an option, that leaves the only alternative,….winning. Can’t wait for the game!
