    <p><em>Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky</em></p> <p>ESPN.com NFL power ranking voters -- myself included -- didn't put a lot of stock into the Colts' shutout of the Titans in Indianapolis.

    I really don't know that it's fear but I'll say that the Colts are the most formidable opponent Tennessee could face in the post season. However, San Diego does a lot on the ground and I'd rather deal with their offensive attack than the balls out passing assault of the Colts.

    On the other hand no other teams understands what Indianapolis does better than the Titans. It's just unnerving watching the bend but don't break defense the Titans run against the Colts. I know that any play could go for six and too often the Colts convert the short third downs.

    I was still groggy before I read this, but after a good chuckle from that statement, I'm wide awake now.

    Besides, the Chargers won't be any easier than the Colts. Both of you have an above average offense and a mediocre defense.
    But since we owe the Chargers an *** whoopin, I want them to show up at LP field.
    If Indy does show up at LP, (Jeff) Saturday and crew better be ready. They will be dealing with four bulldozers(and their rotating backups) coming at them all game. Poutin better get rid of the ball quickly. I see our defense playing lights out during that game.

    Oh, and beat the Chargers this weekend first, THEN you can come back over here and talk smack about Poutin and crew coming to LP next weekend.

    I'm not scared of the Colts, im scared of 1 colt.... the quick releasing dink and dunk Peyton Manning. He's to fast to get sacked a lot, so our secondary better be ready if they come to TN.

    I think Indy is overrated. I think the Chargers are on a hot streak. I think both will not move the ball on the Titans D. I think it doesn't matter which one we play. I think the colts get exposed by the Chargers. I think that I think too much.
