Actually, I guess it's not a matter of will, but when they will choke. Peyton Manning can not win the big games. I predict a third round playoff choke against the Bengals.

Peyton Manning is an outstanding QB (though I think it took him a lot longer to reach that point than most people do - I think he was overrated up until a year or two ago), but there's something about that team that just doesn't scream "champion." I can't put my finger on it.

(Oh, and an obvious but good attempt at drawing out Hazywayz, there Tedesco."

I think last year was their year. They didn't make it then, they won't make it this year.

I think they MAY have missed their window. With James gone, their offense will be different, so they may not be on the same level as the past. Plus did the defense play over their heads last year?

I just don't know if they have that core group of intangible winners on the team it takes to win in the NFL, even once.
