You don't want to face Peyton Manning after he loses

I believe that some if not all would be at the end of the season after they rested some of their starters like last season. If not for that they would not have lost back to back games. Last season after Painter came in they lost two games. So did the Saints without Brees.

Still I think we should win this game right now. But I am just wondering if those stats are valid or not based on the time of the season they occurred in.

that the idea of clutch and momentum is an illusion. Its going to be pretty hard for Peyton to work any harder than he does. Good teams win football games, and good teams rarely lose back to back games. But if history repeats itself the Colts won’t even make the playoffs, which means they will need to lose at least 5 or 6 more games anyway

Suprisingly it is only like a 52% but I forgot who posted it.

so tomorrow it must be tails

The reason they so often win after they lose is because they havent much at all. theyve generally only lost 3 or so times most seasons. They look like a team who has some vulnerability however at the end of the day they have Peyton. It should be interesting but this is a different team than any other of those so I dont think the “look out Peyton is angry” makes any difference. That guy is going to be ready to play.

I do like how Romeo and charlie as a tandem have faired awfully well against this guy though.

Like everybody else, I’m skeptical of putting too much stock in streaks, and this is really a small sample size, but it’s still interesting.

Consider that a team will typically perform below their average in a game after a win and perform above their average in a game after a loss, purely for mathematical reasons. (Because, in the latter case, you’re excluding a bad result in your analysis, so it will be more likely to look better). That being the case, it’s telling that they overcome this mathematical barrier to do worse after a loss.

Tony Dungy is not the Head Coach anymore.

Have won on their home turf. Their defense is built to play on that turf, it allows the smaller faster lb’s and de’s to really fly around. How well their de’s play will go a long way to know how we are going to fair against them.

Nice to find out what the facts are surrounding myths. I like the way you didn’t draw any almighty conclusions from this other than – if history is any guide, the Colts do better after winning the previous game. (I still get a chuckle out of sir eccles’ stat slap-down, though.)

I’m wondering how the mental game will play out on Sunday. I’m sure the Chiefs will be prepared, but I’m wondering if they will be spirited and confident. Sometimes when nastiness is called out – Shuan’s fine – it can drop the overall energy. Like a dog with its tail between its legs. Hopefully, Shaun will just be able to stop any alleged below the belt antics and still keep the high intensity level along with the rest of the D line. Plus we have the bye week variable, as it relates to keeping up the intensity.

I’m also hoping that the subliminal Chiefs Will during training camp pays off this week. Do they believe in themselves enough that when the going gets tough, they have the confidence to overcome and conquer? If the Colts get down, they seem ready to semi-implode and start picking at one another. Peyton’s comments have overtones of “other people” needing to be more focused at practice. It’s not exactly pointing fingers, but it doesn’t seem like it will take much to make their sidelines ugly this Sunday. I’m hoping the Chiefs win the mental game this Sunday, which leads to a superior physical game, which leads to a win! Go Chiefs!
