Though the defense played much better yesterday

They still can't stop another team when it comes down to crunch time. Near the end of the game Indy wanted to run out the clock. Everyone in the stadium knew they were going to run the ball and Buffalo still couldn't stop them from converting. They got manhandled, ONCE AGAIN. Game over.

Same thing happened in the GB game in what would have been the tying drive by the Packers.

The defense didnt play well as much as Indy dumbed it down against a Buffalo team they have no fear of losing to.

Exactly, Indy would gotten as many points as it needed to beat Buffalo, believe that.

Buffalo very much used a bend but don't break approach in the Colts game. They let Manning throw short stuff, keeping the plays in front of them and try ing to avoid the chance of a big play. Manning is fully capable of moving the ball down the field under those circumstances, but it was still the right approach. He will kill you with big plays if you play an agressive, high risk defense. On two drives Colts players fumbled the ball. Actually, it happened because Buffalo was effective at stripping the ball. Both were huge plays. Of course, one fumble was returned for a TD and the othe fumble provided the chance for Lindell to make a go ahead field goal. That's what Buffalo was hoping would happen.
