Reasons for Bills Nation to Pull for Indy

We've heard the analogy before: The Colts of this decade mirror the Buffalo Bills of the early 90's. The Colts are a team with a breathtaking offense, led by a future Hall-of Fame quarterback, with a defense that has had trouble defending the run. And both teams never won the whole enchilada. But the Colts today have a golden opportunity today to get to the Super Bowl. If you are a Bills fan and are on the fence as to who to cheer for in today's AFC Championship game, allow me to offer some reason to pull for Indy:

Bill Polian: He's the man who drafted Kelly and Thomas, traded for "Biscuit", plucked Steve Tasker off of waivers, and brought his close friend, Marv Levy, down from the CFL to lead the Bills to a historic Super Bowl run. By 1992, Polian and owner Ralph Wilson's money people couldn't get along, so Polian was fired. In my opinion, Polian deserves as much credit as Levy for the success of the Bills in the early 90's
Peyton Manning: Remember when Steve Young, post-Montana, took the celebratory lap in Candlestick when he brought the Niners back to the Super Bowl? I hope Peyton can take one of those laps today. He's a classy guy. Anyone who met him last May at the Rochester "Day of Champions" charity dinner would agree.
Go away: That is, go away New England! If the Bills are to win the division in 2007, the Patriots need to slip a notch. Let the slip begin today in Indy, I say.

Enjoy the games today!

THe Patriots are NOT going away. Win or lose in Indy today, they are still the class of the AFC and the entire NFL. I believe they will win in Indy today because overall they are the better team. Not taking anything away from Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison or the rest of the Colts, the Patriots are overall better and will be back as favorites to win it all again next year.

The Patriots have 2 first round picks in this years draft so slipping a notch is far from happening. The only part of the team that needs immediate attention is the lB's. Bruschi and Vrabel only have so much left in their tanks and Colvin will be solid for a couple more years. They need to get younger at this posistion. The D-Line is young as is the O-Line. Secondary is good for another 3-5 years and we have Watson and Thomas at TE's. Graham will probably be leaving. The RB's are young with Maroney but they could use a young pounding RB to go with him. Receivers are young and who knows if they'll be around and who will stick but the way their playing in the playoffs I'll take all of them back. Get younger or find LB's on the free agant market and this team is solid for 5-7 years. Buffalo better get a QB with arm strength that starts it all for an offense, the defense seems to be ok keeping the team in games.

Don't wait for the PATS to slip. Concentrate of building A TEAM that can win under pressure situations.

The Patriots are a great team, but this season, the Colts are a better team and should win this game today. If the Colts blow this great chance to go to the Super Bowl, A change must be made in Indy.
