As for Freeney. Even if he plays he should be limited. Did Allen get to Brees? I doubt a limited Freeney would be much more of a concern.
LOL, you guys are just getting a feel for the Indy fans...don't worry, they only get worse! And yeah, the excuses are gearing up, but to Indy fans, the only ones who make excuses are the teams that lose to Indy. I might point out the Steelers played Indy last year and as for the comments made above, the better team didn't win either, that being Indy, (by 4 points) during that game since there were a few lucky bounces and dumb plays. That is, afterall, how he described the Vikings loss to the Saints, right? Well then it holds true on all accounts.

Also you might want to add the Colts had 7 wins by comebacks. They could have had a 7-7 record by week 14. Also the most undeserving win of all time was the Miami/Indy game where Miami completely dominated and should have won and not to mention NE dominanted Indy the whole game as well and should have won. Didn't the Saints absolutely demolish the Pats? It didn't come down to a bad call on BB's part, did it? Nah, didn't think so. GO SAINTS!

7 come from behind wins or really 8 because we were behind 17-6 to the Jets and came back and won that game. We beat the Pats, you lost to the Bucs. The Colts lost 0 games when the starters played and played the entire game, heck we even won when Dwight Freeney didn't play (vs. Houston). So yes you played the best game of your season on that Monday night vs. the Pats, the Colts have saved their best game for Sunday Feb. 7th. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

First off, I'm a Steelers fan if you can't tell by my user name. Secondly why are lucky wins for you different from other teams who are so called "lucky" and not better than their opponents? By YOUR definition, the Saints were not better than the Vikes, they were lucky. Hence, last year, the Colts were not better than the Steelers, they were lucky, fluke bounces, bad calls. Hey, this is all YOUR criteria. By your definition, that means the Colts are not better than the Pats, which I truly do not think they are. The Colts got lucky yet again by a bad decision by BB. The Saints completely owned them. No luck was needed for them to win. The Colts squeaked by. Are you saying the Colts are better than the Pats even though luck played a role? Quit blowing smoke up your behind. The Colts are not a team that is invinsible, walks on water or unbeatable. They aren't the greatest of all time, far from it in fact. Your disrespect to other teams including the Saints is laughable at best. Up until now, the Colts have had nothing to brag about except for countless post season failures. Win something this weekend first before relishing in your own hype.

Re: Dwight Freeney, star defensive end for the Indianapolis Colts, may miss Super Bowl XLIV with serious ankle injury

No I believe the Saints were the best team in the NFC this past season and were leaps and bounds better then the Vikings. However if you look at the game, you can't say on that night the Saints were the better team. They got the breaks and saw the Vikings commint stupid penalities. The game should have never been close, it should not have come down to going overtime. In neither of the Colts playoff games were the Colts outplayed and "had to pull out a win". I would say right now the main reason the Colts are favored is that issue and this is the Saints first trip.

And yes this season we were better then the pats, they got destroyed by the Ravens and we did what to them? Lets also review:

Most wins in a decade....come on you know who it is....COLTS
Most wins in a row in the regular season....come on....you know...Colts
Superbow 41 winner.....SAY IT...Colts

Now help refresh my memory....number of division wins this decade by Saints?
number of NFC titles this decade by Saints?
Number of SB appearances by Saints EVER?
Number of SB wins by SAINTS EVER?

The game I watched between the Vikings and Saints was an outstanding game. The Vikings did have a lot of turnovers, but they weren't caused by the wind or some phantom turnover ghost. The Saints caused those turnovers, like any good team does. In my eyes, the team that wins at the end of the game is the better team. I didn't think the Bengals were better than the Steelers this year and statistically they were better, but the score indicated differently. They won, no matter how they won, they were the better team.

Oh Lord, you lost your credibility with all the "regular season" wins. You know what anyone outside of Indy says about that...woo. The Steelers have 2 Lombardis this decade dude, don't even go there with me. Like I said, win something this weekend and then we'll see. Until then, the Colts are just another AFC team in the SB.

Re: Dwight Freeney, star defensive end for the Indianapolis Colts, may miss Super Bowl XLIV with serious ankle injury

A) How did your mighty D cause the bad hand off between Brett and AP there at the end of the first half? There wasn't a Saint player around?

B) How did the Saints D cause the Vikings to have 12 men in the huddle on that last drive of the game, basically taking them out of field goal range?

C) When the Saints do anything close to what the Colts have done over this past decade, then YOU will have some cred, as of right now, you are just a "lucky" NFC that made it to their first superbowl. Gee even a blind squirl gets lucky and finds a nutt every so often....

LOL, again you didn't see who posted to you. It's me, the Steelers fan that said that.

A) I'm an outsider posting an outsider's view of the game I watched. The 12 men on the field has nothing to do with the turnovers the Saints caused the Vikings to have.
B) You're comparing the Colts to the Saints? Saints are an up and coming team my friend. They have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. I feel for Indy when PM retires cause that will be the Colts demise.
C) I will take the Lombardi's any day over regular season wins. You can happily have that title and live proudly with it. I will happily have the Lombardi's.

I might add also, as an outsider, you are greatly overlooking your opponent, something I'm sure your team is not doing. The Saints are a better balanced team. I see this more of a close game and I'm actually seeing the Saints coming out on top. And if that happens, the better team will have won.

Let me get this straight... You are determining how well your team will do Sunday, based on the Vikings game? Or is it by what we've done in the past decade? Do you not have enough faith in your OWN TEAM, to talk about the match ups on Sunday? Or are you a closet Vikings/Favre fan?

As far as your blind squirl, it's spelled squirrell by the way, the Cardinals, the Bucs, the Seahawks, ALL played their first superbowls this past decade. So there are alot of nuts falling I guess. Also, you guys get your first superbowl since what, the late 60s, and now all the sudden you guys are experts on other people's organizations, and team abilities? We know about our past, and we don't need a Colts fan to tell us about it.

We have a superbowl to play Sunday. Let's talk about that. Let's leave the past where it is.

What's popular is not always right, and what's right is not always popular.....
