Why are the Colts so much better than the Saints?

Gee the same thing people were saying last year when we lost our head coach, our No. 1 WR and had issues with retaining our two top assistants and what happen? Opps Peyton and the boys went 16 - 0 in games they played in.

Don't get me wrong. I like and respect the Colts. They are a legitimate team.

However, I'm not above saying that I hope we beat the snot out of them next Sunday. That will be the only way we will prove to the media that we are worthy of this Super Bowl berth. They still don't think we deserve to be here. Let's show them that we do!

I think you deserve to be there. No matter WHAT happens next Sunday.

The AFC South has been the best division in football for a long while. The AFC has been the stronger conference for a decade. The Colts have won more games that anyong, including the Pats. Personally, I am not one of the people that think SB's are ALL that matters... but I respect their opinions too. In THAt regard .. the Pats ARE the TOTD. The Colts have had what... 7 consecutive years with 12 wins? That's phenomenal. No one has EVER done THAT before.

All that is just noise. We're in the HERE and NOW. I think these teams are pretty evenly matched. I agree with the poster about 10 games, and no one winning more than 6 of them.

The Saints Defense was ranked 20th while the Colts Defense was 8th in points allowed. Does that matter? Nope. The Colts D was awful the whole year in 2006 when they won the darn thing. Until the playoffs.

If the talking heads are talking crap about you... relax. They always will. They have about Indy for years. We all HATE Chris Collinsworth. He's been a Colts hater thru it all. All we heard all year was about the undefeated Saints... even though we were too. So what. Bring on the GAME!! 9 more days!!

im all for regular season wins

but there are 2 other teams that have more championships

there are 2 other teams that have better organizations

there are 2 other teams that might have something to say about how much better the colts are than them

in fact.....right now....you guys are most comparable to the rams.....so dominate and such heavy favorites that they lost their 2nd super bowl appearance this decade

right now you guys are nothin more than the AFC champs

you have only been the AFC champs twice this decade which means you have only been 1st place once

how that says you are better than the steelers or pats amazes me

take all the regular season wins you want....i'll take a lombardi any day of the week over a single regular season win

How do you define THAT?

I agree with a lot of your other points, somewhat anyway.

I also think the Colts are gonna be right here in the thick of this for 3-4 more years. I'lll bet they get to the SB at LEAST 1 more time before the slide downhill starts.

ANYTHING can happen in a single game. That's happened to the Colts a lot.

How good have the Pats done since they got caught cheating? They have lost 1 SB since then... that's how good they have done. I wonder how much THAT had to do with their success. The colts have been more consisten over the same time... without cheating.

Everyone will see how evenly matched we are when we actually make Peyton think about retirement after the PAIN he will endure during the game.

WhoDatPride · 01-30-2010, 09:43 AM

Colts, "team of the decade"?? Seriously, not even if they win the Super Bowl again. I like the Colts better than the Patriots but 3 rings is better than 1. Success is this league is about winning Championships first and foremost. As far as who has had the better year I make reference to my post yesterday. Colts and Saints played 6 common teams this year and the Saints scored more and gave up fewer points than the Colts by an average 17 points for Saints and 5.5 for the Colts. We have several signature landslide victories over some of the best teams in the league. These are the two best teams in the NFL and I believe it should be a great game and I can't wait to get to Miami to see my Saints march into glory!

When 16 hits from Sharper & the Who Dat Defense you reach, look as good, you will not.
