Well I think the first call may have been warranted, but I do agree that on the next drive Manning took the same type of shot and there was no call which would signal that the officiating was inconsistent. Than again, all that would have done is reduce Mannings passing yardage from 364 to 349. He was lights out last night.
The Colts current run of playoff appearances is pretty solid stuff. I suppose the only blemish would be that like the Atlanta Braves despite their excellence it hasn't resulted in a lot of championships. But a Superbowl this year would help temper some of that.
