I don't buy the "Well, now they're really mad, so they will play a lot better" sentiment.

That thesis is similar to "Don't say anything bad about the other team to the press, or they'll really be motivated to kick our asses."


The Colts' offensive line is either going to play well and give the Eagles a good game, or they will revert back to the way that they have been playing for 8 out of the first 10 games and get their heads handed to them. And as we saw last night, an offense that functions well with long, sustained drives can help a defense by not having them constantly out there on the field ...... a defense constantly being on the field due to a non-existent offense is what happened when the Patriots annihilated the Colts the week before the Raiders game.
