Colts.....Ending of an Era?

It's been hard for me to keep up with football since the Colts' disappointing loss to the Chargers a week ago. Only a day after Peyton is crowned his third league MVP, sharing this achievement only by Brett "I don't know if I want to still play and I'll make you wait" Favre, the Colts self destruct again in San Diego. #18 proved to me why he was voted MVP in that game due to the collapse of the defense towards the end of the game as well as the inability to run the ball....plus the fact that he was able to recover this season from 2 knee surgeries (watch out Mr. Brady, they franchised that Trojans benchwarmer). Anyways, SI.com named Peyton one of the 8 greatest NFL quarterbacks of all-time. Peyton's come along way this season and it's too bad it ended so abruptly. I fear a huge proponent of his success may be gone to - Marvin Harrison. Peyton's aging better half of one of the greatest QB-WR tangents in NFL history is due a salary hike next season. Is the team going to cut him to make more cap room? Will he be willing to take a pay cut? Will Marvin's resurfacing legal situation with his gun in Philly get him a pink slip from Indy? Only time will tell, it's been a good ride while it's lasted.
