I also really don't think we confused ourselves. Yes it looks like our DL is confused and not sure where to line up and not getting into 3 point stances but I believe that was designed just for Manning. Make it look like we are confused, don't show what our plans are, hope he doesn't change the play call to suit his offense better, and fake the blitz periodically.

The problem is Payton is just so good at what he does. Then there was all the plays I felt the Colts offense held that were not called. But whatever.
