After a 2nd win agianst the Titans I figured the Colts would be getting the recognition for being a team to deal with in the NFL. This Sunday, after watching some TV, I foudn that there is more talk about the Rams and Chiefs winning the Superbowl than anything. Why is it that the Colts, even though they post the 2nd best record in the NFL don't get any cred?

tonguegina · 12-14-2003, 05:11 PM

People look at the Colts' playoff history and stop there. This is a much better team than that of recent years. I honestly think they will "suprise" people this year that really shouldn't be. Will they win the Superbowl? I'm not going to say yes, but they have a better chance than people are giving them credit for.

Pliedes · 12-14-2003, 08:16 PM

I agree Tongue. They have a good chance at going to the Superbowl this year. If they do get that far, and Peyton keeps playing like he has, I think he'll be in contention for the league MVP.

tonguegina · 12-14-2003, 08:20 PM

I really think he will as well. During the game today they showed a bunch of possibilities for MVP and their stats. He clearly was the victor to me, and the people that were talking about it agreed. They said that as far as individual play affecting the performance of an entire team, he's the best. The Colts would be nothing without him, while say the Ravens without Lewis could still put together some wins. My vote would go to Manning.

I was at the game today...and Peyton was hitting spots like a champ...i couldnt believe the spots he was hittin on his throws...he keeps playing like that...colts are super bowl champs

BrassMonkees · 12-14-2003, 10:58 PM

Defense wins championships guys...As much as I love Peyton and the colts, I'm just a little worried about whether or not their D will hold up. For the past 3 years its let them down, hopefully things will change this year.

Pliedes · 12-14-2003, 11:00 PM

Good point by Brass, obviously their offense is amazing but I think they're defense is up there enough that they could do it.

tonguegina · 12-15-2003, 01:00 AM

The defense this year is phenominally better than in previous years. You saw what they did to Vick today and McNabb and the Titans last week. I think it's strong enough.

Thomas Gander · 12-15-2003, 02:37 AM

The Colts really dont have a chance at winning the super bowl this year. They will be lucky to get out of the first round. Their defense isnt good enough and they will get shut down by the better teams of the league. If anyone thinks that they will win the super bowl, i will give them 20 to 1 odds that they wont.

Cocktooth · 12-15-2003, 02:45 AM

thomas...have you ever watched the game of football...the out of the last 5 teams the colts have played.....4 of them teams are ranked in the top 10 in defense....so obviously they can score on good defensive teams...and they shut down the best athlete in the world today...he had many of chances to run but our defense was awfully quick to the ball....it was nice....

Wayne · 12-15-2003, 02:53 AM

I didn't realize we had a Colt among us. What position do you play?

BrassMonkees · 12-15-2003, 02:54 AM

I believe I heard today that the Colt's defense was ranked 12th right now...last year they were 8. So no tonguegina, their defense is not better this year. But if you would like to prove me wrong, then I'd be more than happy to see such things

Could you learn english for me Mr. Shaw? I can't quite understand what you are trying to say. As for them having a good offense, I don't think anybody would argue that, but I was arguing that they don't have a strong defense and they are not good enough overall to win the Super Bowl.

I'll put $1 down with those odds.

Cocktooth · 12-15-2003, 11:31 AM

THE LAST 4 OUT of 5 TEAMS JACKASS and i just gave you stats showing they could

Thomas Gander · 12-15-2003, 02:14 PM

Pliedes, I would be more than happy to take your $1 from you. As for you, Shaw, would you like to make a wager?

Cocktooth · 12-16-2003, 11:13 AM

so basically with that post your saying if the colts make it there i win 20 bucks and you if they dont i have to give up a buck???? if thats the case definately

Fruitacious B · 12-16-2003, 06:34 PM

Gander is going to make two dollars.

Ugly Bastard · 12-16-2003, 07:59 PM

Make that 7. I'll put down five on those odds....

-Ugly Bastard

BrassMonkees · 12-16-2003, 08:14 PM

9 now...I'll put 2 more down

Saint DH · 12-16-2003, 08:24 PM

I'll go ahead and put 5 bucks on that, thanks gander.

Pliedes · 12-16-2003, 08:33 PM

Wow, I think I'm not the only one who calculated out the return on those odds...

Trout Sniffer · 12-18-2003, 04:35 PM

Shit, I'll put down 2 on those odds. The Colts aren't a bad team at all and they have a decent chance. Hell yeah, hook me up with a bet Gander.

Saint DH · 12-18-2003, 04:49 PM

Ok so here is the offical list, if you want to add your bet, just copy this and edit it, then repost. Alright.
-------------------------------------------------
Shaw - $1.00
Plideds - $1.00
Ugly Bastard - $5.00
Brasmonkees - $2.00
Dirty Harry - $5.00
Trout Sniffer - $2.00

Gander, if you lose this bet, and don't come forth with the money, we'll find you.

Edit: You can't change your bet, once you're in, you're in, otherwise you could back out at the last minute.
