Same with teams playing the bears made the mistake of passing to much.
Hopefully indy will run and show the real C!

I watched the entire New England game. Even when the Pats were up 21-3 they made no committment to the run! What were they thinkin?
Thats becuase at 21-3, the Colts ran something like the next 35 plays or something like that. From the end of the 2nd quarter clear up until midway of the 3rd. They had cut the lead to 8 without NE ever touching the football. Then when NE tried to run, the Colts line did much better at limiting them on early downs. The mistake teams have made in the playoffs is believing they will run all over Indy, so they have stuck with it on early downs even though it hasnt been working and then they fall behind. Im convinced that KC had absolutely no B plan on offense, they felt like they would run it down our throats. There wideouts had no catches that day. I would say that teams sticking with the run too much too early has actually helped this Indy defense. Im still not sure why nobody has came out, spread them out, and passed on them from the opening kick. Pittsburgh did that last year and was up 14-0 at the end of the 1st qtr. If someone would loosen them up through the air, the running game would open up.
