Ok I know I thought the Broncos looked better than the Colts, and that's not the worst opinion to have or anything. But calling the Colts Crappy? That's just retarded. Obviously the only people who would say that are Colts Trolls. They are the Team to beat, Period. Now I think they can be beaten, but the superbowl is still theirs to lose.

True.
They can be beaten, any team can be, but from what I've seen from the past 15 weeks is that they can have alot of turnovers (which are essential in the playoffs), score TD's from those turnovers, rarely have turnovers themselves, can play and win from behind, can hold a lead, can play a rough in the mud game, or air it out all out blitz game. Even the game against the Chargers in which they lost, they still showed the ability to score 17 points in a few minutes.
They're a dangerous team to play against, especially at home.
The Patriots look like they might be back, but I still think the Colts will win the Superbowl.
With the passing of Dungy's 18 year old son, I still think they can overcome that.
Just think, what the story would be like if they did win.

The colts havent face a quality team?Steelers, Patriots, Chargers, Jacksonville, Bengals. What a minute, thats what the playoff schedule looks like. But they're not quality teams. how can they be.
The only team they havnt faced is the Broncos and Chiefs.Manning will yield and screw up under pressure?
Manning is one of the best QB's in league when it comes to being pressured. So, he had one bad game. Thats what? out of 15 games? Give me a break.Ill address your point about Bree's pass and the misplay at the 1 yard line. First, Colts have won every game until the Chargers, so they have been perfect. So they had a couple of bad plays that probably lost them the game. So ****ing what, it happens, but it doesnt make it a reason to say that they will lose because of it.
As much as you think you know anything, you really dont. Losing one game out 15 is not a very good reason for a team to be called crappy.
see NOW your putting words in my mouth.I never said the colts were crappy.I just said that their not as great of a team as everybody makes them out to be. The steelers are not the dominating team there were a year ago so,someone already pointed that out to you, thats not impressive that they beat THEM.The patriots? give me a break,they were horrible at the time they were playing them because they were facing a decimated and banged up team that was obviously not the same calibur of team they were from the last two years, 🙄 Bengals? have you forgotten that the bengals put up over 30 points againt them in that game? that was hardly an impressive victory for the colts giving up that many points. Jacksonville? Jacksonville has played a lot of creampuffs this whole season as well so beating them hardly impresses me. Chargers? well we already know what happened in that game dont we? LOL 😆 your clearly grasping at straws here and living in denial that the colts have had a MUCH easier schedule to face then the broncos have had all year long.
your not listening here.Teams will learn from the chargers game that if you put lots of pressure on Manning and he has to scramble,then that is taking him out of his game and that is not his game is to have to scramble on the run and make plays. Lets see what you have to say about me not knowing anything when the colts lose to the broncos or patriots in the playoffs what you have to say then? 😆
again,the colts having mental breakdowns like on 4th and goal at the one and having a mental breakdown when they had the chargers backed up on 3rd and 7 at their own end zone is not a good sign of team a team making a run for the superbowl this late in the season.Especially at home.Now if that game had been on the road or if it was an early season game,then they would have a good excuse to have those kind of mental breakdowns,but at home and towards the end of the season,thats not a team that is focused.
They have faced an easier schedule, but the still faced the top teams in the AFC.
Your telling us that every top team in the AFC is shitty now?
Yeah, Cincy did score 30 points but the Colts scored more. So how is that a bad thing about the COlts?
You say that the Chargers game, teams will learn to play the Colts. Did it ever occur to you that maybe, the Colts can learn from their mistakes?
Two plays means that they're losing the playoffs? Okay.

Not surprising,the kansas city clowns play much better at home than they do on the road.They have always had a history of playing horrible on the road.It was great to see them keep marty the moron from making the playoffs.I cant believe the chargers were stupid enough to hire that guy.Everytime he gets to the playoffs he panicks and his mind freezes up.when he was here with the chiefs,I used to get a lot of $hit from chiefs fans when I would tell them the truth that the chiefs would never make it to the superbowl as long as he was the coach,now thats what I am telling chargers fans. 😄 I have some friends out in san diego who also could not believe the chargers were stupid enough to hire him as their head coach. 😄
EVERYTIME when there is a big game on the line like the chiefs game,his teams choke because he always chokes.
here is what I'd like to see happen... (the best way for it to turn out for the Bengals in mu opinion.)
WildCard Round
Steelers at Bengals - Bengals
Jaguars at Patriots - Patriots
Then....Next Round
Patriots at Colts - Patiots (I think they have a better chance of beating the colts than the Bengals do in another shootout.)
Bengals at Broncos - Bengals
AFC Championship Game
Patriots at Bengals - Bengals (I think the Bengals could beat the Patriots at home before they could beat the Colts in Indy lol).
Superbowl- Bengals vs. Seahwaks? - Regardless I want Bengals to win, and think any AFC team will win the Superbowl.
Now this isn't what I am gonna say will happen. It's definately a homer way of thinking. It is just what I'd like to see happen, and if it did play out like this with the Matchups, it would have a good chance of going this way. Anyway BRING ON THE PLAYOFFS!!!!
No way the bengals beat the steelers. the steelers are the worst possible opponent for Cincy - We saw what a good running team can do agaisnt them all season. And with Fast Willie Parker and Jerome "The Bus" Bettis healthy, this is an upset waiting to happen.
then if they do get past them, against an even better running team in Denver? No way.

Hard to believe that the Eagles won't be in the playoffs. What a bizzare year for Philadelphia. Oh well, Go Patriots! You're the defending champs.
as much as i dont like NE i wouldnt mind seeing them win again this year, i dont really think they have a good chance at all, but with the injuries and everything that would be a great accomplishment. other then that go seattle!
and its actually not that hard to believe the eagles didnt make it, the last 5 or 6 teams who lost the superbowl didnt make the playoffs the next year, guess being #2 just aint enough.

Funny thing about me.Once I know my team is not making it, I look forward to the offseason moves and deals and such.
Is that ****ed up or what?
Dude I'm a Bengals fan lol thats ALL I had the last 15 years...cept most the time, even the offseasons were as bad as the seasons.
Anyway to the Guy who said no way the Bengals beat the Steelers...whatever. It could go either way and everyone knows that. Bengals did Give up alot of yards to Kansas City, but I think that was largely do to the fact that KC has an amazing offensive line (which Pittsburghs has been off and on all year.). So like Smasandian said. Whoever Jumps out ahead first will most likely win. (our Offense is our best Defense! =P If they have to catch up, they have to pass.. and we got a decent secondary...last time I checked they like to intercept balls.) Anyway I cant wait!
Washington vs Tampa= Tampa
Carolina vs NY= Carolina
Jags vs Pats= Pats
Pitts vs Cin= tough call..... I say Cin
Anybody can win in the Pitts game. Everybody talks about how the running game is going to kill the Bengals. Why doesnt anybody talk about how the passing game might kill the Steelers?
Cincy game against KC. KC has a scary offense, and Cincy didnt really anything to worry about if they lost the game, so maybe Cincy was kinda of flat?
Who's to say they will be when the play the Steelers.

Neither team will have any excuse on Sunday because both teams will bring their best (well, can't speak entirely for the Bungholes, but here's assuming they will at least find those 1 or 2 fans who have stuck with them since their 1990 year of glory). I believe there are no significant injuries to speak of, so whoever wins should definately deserve it.
