I'm a lifelong Colts fan, and yesterday I attended the Arizona Cardinals--Carolina Panthers game in Phoenix.  Kurt Warner threw five interceptions and the Cardinals were completely outplayed.  Now that's a tough game for the home fans to watch.

Sure Peyton Manning was a bit off yesterday, not as accurate as usual.  He still played a solid game, and the Colts won.We can't expect a win every week, and we certainly can't expect perfection every week.  Just as the team showed in the Miami game, it is tough, persistent, and usually finds a way to win the close ones.  Winning is what's important, not putting on a show.

Manning didn't practice Friday afternoon, very unusual.  I'm not suggesting that he would have played better had he practiced.  But could he be dealing with an issue that caused him to miss practice and also affected his play yesterday?  Just a thought.
