It would probably have been a shootout again and would come down to who had the ball last. We had very similar teams both were offensive juggernauts with finesse defenses who relied on turnovers. Sure the Colts had Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, and Marvin Harrison but we had Carson Palmer who was playing like a franchise QB, Chad Johnson, T.J., Chris Henry, Rudi Johnson and a great O-line. I would have loved to see that mathchup and always think of that 2005 team and what could have been if Palmer didn’t get hurt and if Core guys like Thurman and Henry could have stayed clean and what if Pollack never broke his neck the following year.
