The Colts having clinched a wild card no longer have anything to play for since they can't improve their position, so I'm thinking they may rest a lot of their starters. (The way the Texans are playing, they definitely could use it... )

Houston, San Fran, I'd be ascared.

Still a year or two out, is my guess. But the way things have gone the last several years, who knows?

Well thank you for this wonderful gift from Wisconsin!

I can hardly overstate my appreciation of Wilson.

Charley, who knows indeed?

The way that they're playing right now, there certainly is a possibility of great things going into the playoffs.

Trying to look from the outside in, I wouldn't want to face this very-hot-right-now team.

I doubt there is one Seattle fan that cares whether or not we are "forgiven."

Yeah, you may be right there.

It doesn't make a huge difference as #1 and #2 have basically the same benefits. It's just a matter of pride here in Denver after that shaky start, now that Manning has returned to form and the team has gotten up to his speed and standards.

I just learned this weekend that, after a year and a half between snaps, Manning had to study film--of himself--to recall his form, how he moves in the pocket, his throwing motion, etc. He had to train in front of a large mirror to try to match what he watched in the films. He was *really* out of whack during the off-season and those first few games. Coming back from those neck injuries was like learning how to play competitively all over again, and he says he feels quite different from seasons past and has had to make a lot of mental and physical adjustments.

Could have fooled me.

Man, the Patriots looked crappy two weeks in a row and were lucky to win. They better fix their slow starts or it's one and done.

I think Seattle and Indy could be dangerous in the playoffs - Wilson and that defense are scary, Indy has the great story of their coach and his leukemia battle all year. I respect both teams.

This sums it up for me.

Naturally, I'd be steamed if the shoe were on the other foot though.
