Am I the only one that thinks the Colts Sucks? LOL

Colts stand for: Colts Only Lose To Saints.

I've always thought of the Colts as a class organization... looks as if it actually rubs off on their fans as well. I'm sure there will be some friendly squabbles, but I highly doubt it will reach anywhere close to Bears, Cowboys, and certain Vikings fan debates we've had here.

Can't wait!

Welcome ColtsFan1984 and Jabba. I was very concerned what was underneath your I come in peace. LOL. You have an immense QB. But we like our QB too. It will not be all about offense and both teams have to have their A-game ready on defense and ST to win. Really look forward to it.

It's rough for me a little bit...the Colts are my AFC team. They have been since before kindergarten...when they were the Baltimore Colts, complete with Bert Jones and some God-awful teams. I have pictures of Christmas around the first grade with me wearing a Colts jersey and a Colts helmet complete with chinstrap. But, there is NO WAY the Colts have my loyalty with this, however...the Colts have won 2 already, so it's our turn. I'll always love the Colts, but this is one I can't even come close to be pulling for the Colts. Good luck and may this game be as classy as both of our organizations are...I'm very fortunate to have both my teams in the Super Bowl...may this be the trend for the next 10-15 years. Geaux Saints!

PS...Payton Manning IMHO is the greatest QB to play the game, and I do expect him to give our defense headaches for 60 minutes on February 7th.

no need to disclaimer yourself here. This is the friendly Saints board.

I'm disapointed that after all these years, Archie Manning basically has no choice but to pull for the Colts, even though he also loves New Orleans and the Saints.

No one really loses in this game, IMO. Its been a great year, and this is who I wanted in the SB all along. Both teams are going to give their best efforts.

I know this could be a Colts blowout, but the Saints have surprised people all year. I believe the pre-season talking heads had us 9-7.

I have to say that the Colts are my second favorite team so its going to be crazy even crazier if the Saints win it.

Colts win I will be happy for Manning. Saints win I'll be happy for myself!!!

Our secondary looked a little questionable during the Jets game (like Braylon getting that 60 or 80 yard touchdown pass), but that was probably due to Powers being out. Regardless, our secondary has been pretty tough all year so I am not concerned too much with that.

What is your answer to that question with the Saints?

Defense;
The Saints run defense has allowed alot of yards on the ground this year. Especially when the opponent spreads the defense and gets a back around the corner on a pitchout or delay handoff. Another vulnerability is our young CB Tracy Porter. Although he has been clutch with big plays he has also gotten beat plenty. I can see Peyton throwing to his side alot.

Offense;
When they're on, they're on. Give Brees 2.5+ seconds in the pocket and he'll march the ball. If a defense can put the Saints in 3rd and long situations they're going to win some of those battles and cause the offense to sputter. But realize that doesn't happen often.

Colts and Saints matchup pretty close when you weigh it all out. But IMO, I think the Saints have a slight edge because even though our defense can give up alot of yardage, they also create fumbles and INT's at an alarming rate. Especially when all our defensive starters are on the field.

Speaking of which, Mora coached both teams. Wonder who he's rooting for
