I am not a Colts fan , But I have to laugh to at how people jump on the anti-colt bandwagon. Yes, right now San Diego is playig better, and The colts offense looks weak. But its all about who gets hot at the right time. And we all know that Indys offense is capable of offsetting defensive problems if it gets hot enough.

I agree. But mainly people are to quick to change their bandwagons. And there is a lot of bandwagoners out there. I still say Chargers win it all. But I still consider Indy a Juggernaut. (By the way GO OAKLAND RAIDERS!)

because the offense will win games, but defense will win championships. without a good run defense, no matter how much the colts will score, the other team will score more. the playoffs are going to be filled with teams that can score on a constant basis, with the run defense playing the way it is it will be tough to win a playoff game. maybe if the ydid not pass rush so much, especially when they knew that the other team was running. but the colts' pass defenses is the worst in many years. the colts offense does look weak, but watching that jags game, it was mostly the WR that were dropping passes. the colts team is set up for the offense taking a lead, and the defense will protect the pass. but their team is not designed for the offense to bail out the defense, as you can tell by the play calling Dungy makes

Because the Colts don't play defense. But it's really the fact that the Colts don't have the playoff success for anyone to take them seriously. Is that fair? Maybe, maybe not. But I think the whole Peyton Manning thing is overblown. The guy has a ton of 4th quarter comeback drives so I don't get how he can be a choke-artist. Playoff-choke-artist maybe, but he's no A-Rod, if you know what I mean.

You have to have a defense to do anything in the playoffs, with the chargers playing how they have been, even if the colts defy everything and make it far enough, LT's going to run all over the colts, if that game happens in the playoffs, when it counts.
When the colts get their D back, we'll win it.

well history tends to repeat its self, and yes its who gets hot at the right time, and the colts are not hot, then look like **** on off. and deff. they do'nt have the size in the middle of there D line and there best DB is out, but we will see if the bangels rack up 150+ yards on the ground tonight (which is less then the colts ave. they ave 167 a game) and lose, well guess what, they might as well pack it up and stay home the rest of the season, cuz they are going to repeat themselves and flop in the playoffs,

Whaddaya mean why???
Havent you watched football over the last 3 years?
Peyton and his Colts always choke when it matters most.
They could be 16-0, doesnt matter. In the playoffs, they lose. Period.
And this year especially, San DIego is gonna win the Super Bowl.
And I'm a GIANTS fan, and saying this.

They are paper champions. Every years they look like they are going to the Super Bowl, and every year they sputter at the end. If they couldn't win it last year, what makes people think they will win it this year. They don't even have the crown as the best offense in the league anymore.

It's mostly based on the belief that history repeats itself.
In the last five years, Indy has been a dominating team. But in the last five years, how many Super Bowls have they won?
