Allow me to say this -- Mularkey better call at least 40 running plays, mixing it up with Brown and Smith, a dash of Minor on third-and-long, and a smattering of Barnes bulldozing for short yardage against that wretched Colts defense. That's even if the Colts leap out to a big lead on Manning's arm. If we abandon the run, and Saban doesn't intervene, then Mularkey should be beaten like a pinata for his documented tendencies to outsmart himself -- but more importantly, we need to begin to question Saban's leadership. He might not call the plays, but at some point he needs to say "the buck stops here" and either take the reins or hand them to someone competent. A win over the Colts would only be a moral victory at this point, but it would be good for morale heading into the offseason. And the Colts, despite what a lot of talking heads are saying, have something to play for -- if they lose, they'll be the third seed and face the possibility of going to play at Baltimore at some point. They can't win against a team with a good rushing attack and strong defense unless they get them with that home dome advantage. Unless the Ravens are soundly winning their game at half-time (the Colts need a win AND a Ravens loss to get second seed), I expect the Colts to pull out the stops on this one.
