http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/teamschedule?teamId=11 You can only play the schedule in front of you... But woah!!! Cake walk!! I am thinking this team got a freebie into the playoffs!!!!

They're kinda like us as far as weaknesses go. They can move the ball and put up some points, but they have a hard time stopping people. So, whoever can put up the most resistance I guess. Whatever the over/under is though, I'll take the over.

I believe they are the number one scoring offense in the league. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's just gotta be the same blueprint the Boys have used all year. Keep the offense off the field and our defense fresh.

Let's not buy into that. People did that for some previous opponents. I mean yes, they play in a very weak division. But then again, so do we. Like the South, we have 2 teams at the top and the other 2 are junk. Granted, NYG/Wash >>> Jack/Tenn but Wash is terrible. NYG has potential on offense but Eli has too many stinkers this season.

Colts had the Eagles beat on MNF but the refs gave that to Philly.

Also, the AFC North is not a cakewalk. Granted, the Browns may not be as good as their record but they aren't bottom of the league bad like they usually are. They beat Cincy 27-0. Beat the Ravens as well. Those are not bad wins at all.

Pittsburgh blew them out, though.

Six games against the Titans, Jags and Texans help. When they played the top teams this year they got waxed.

But they will be a formidable opponent nevertheless.

It does worry me they are the number one passing team... But hopefully we can run on them and keep there offense off the field! Like we did vs the colts a few years ago when they was undefeated with Peyton :)

They did beat the 9-4-1 Bengals 27-0 and the 8-5 Ravens 20-13. I wouldn't exactly call those easy wins. Certainly they are roughly equal to our two best wins.

I guess. Though I'd wager that Philly and Seattle are collectively better than those two teams IMO. But it doesn't matter come Sunday. It s a game of matchups to be honest.

The Colts will get theirs in the passing game. But I think we can control the pace of the game via Murray and company and to be honest I think our passing game is just as effective if not more so than theirs is.

If we run on these guys, I think we pull away in the 4th. It won't be easy though. I have no illusions of that at all.

It's a home game for Dallas right?

They are not nearly as good at home for whatever reason.

Still beat Indy!

This game scares the crap out of me coming off the emotional win over the Eagles.

It should. There was a lot of high fiving and back slapping going on the sidelines, as if they had clinched the division.

The main positive is that the Colts have clinched their division and do not have a lot to play for other than positioning.

I don't keep up with the AFC much but I guess the road to the SB goes thru New England. Indy is good though.

They always do. Worst division in football since the divisions were created.

I don't want my Cowboys taking any breathers at this point. Go and fight hard, don't take anything lightly. But between you and me as fans, they're overrated, and most of my friends out here in Colts country will freely admit it.

The Baltimore and Cincy Wins shows that they can play.... so, we still need to be on top of our game.

My thoughts exactly! I still believe that Elli's scratching his initials on the locker in the the visitor locker room stills haunts us. He believed that he owned the Cowboy stadium! Anyway, I hoped they replaced that locker and the ghost of the Giants has left!!! Just saying!!:(:p:)

It's strange how they play better on the road vs home. I didn't know Eli did that. Dumb!
