Can the Colts win the Super Bowl with their lousy defense?

Nope.  They will get exposed in the playoffs and lose their first game just like last season.\n\nFor more on the Colts and the NFL.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

No.\n\nThe defense is still dreadful.  Still, even in the pathetic NFC, they could still fall into it, perhaps even with a losing record or 0.500.

I think that we could easily see the Colts and the Saints in the Superbowl this year. I am a big Brees fan, go PU, and an even bigger Manning fan. I think the Bears are overrated, they haven't played anyone yet, and they lost to the Dolphins yesterday. Superbowl, Colts-34 Saints-17

I don't think the Colts are extremely lucky.  \n\nDo the Colts have as good of a team as last year?  I don't think they do.\n\nWill the Colts go farther than last year?  Yes, I think they will.\n\nWhy?  Normally teams that blow out teams all year long like the Colts did last year don't win the Super Bowl.  It's normally teams that win almost all of their games but barely win them all.  That's what the Colts are doing this year.  The defense is finally starting to step up and the Colts are slowly but surely starting to get their injured players back.  Consider this, the Colts are 9-0 with the Colts having to use the back-ups for the back-ups in many of the positions.  Can you imagine how good they will be when they get the starters back?\n\nAlso, the close games are partly due to the injuries and partly calculated.  The Colts mentality is to keep it close and win it at the end or get ahead and make the other team force passes to keep up.  So far it has worked and they are definitely showing that they know how to pull out the close games.  You have to know how to pull out the close games in the playoffs because most of them aren't going to be blow-outs.\n\nI think the Colts are probably one of the top contenders for the Super Bowl this year.  I think they learned the lessen that the Steelers did the year before they won the Super Bowl.  First, worry about making the playoffs, then getting home field advantage.  Then the rest of the season doesn't nearly matter as much as how you play in the play-offs, so be prepared.

Of course. They're undefeated. They just beat Denver & New England on the road in consecutive weeks. It may change later on but as of right now, no one can deny that the Colts are #1 in the power rankings.

Cowboys win by the skin of their teeth! Upset of the year. your right, cowboys will run the ball, and with a healthy dose of Jones and Barber, with play action and passes to witten, T.O. and glenn(if he plays) the cowboys have the offense to match the colts.\n\ndefensively if the cowboys can shut down the pass, then the colts have to run, true, and the cowboys have a good run defense. its a matter of special teams, ball control, and big plays...expect to see many on both sides, i believe, time will be a factor in this game.

Yes, I think that they will. They were the best team in football last year, and had a poor end to an awesome season. This season I think they are ready for the big games. They have been beating solid teams, and always seam to come up with the win. This is the year of the Horse!!! Go Colts!!

I don't think the Colts will do it.  Personally I believe it will get in there head.  Im predicting the Broncos.

I do.... The Colts can't win big games. Brady can, that is why he's got 3 super bowl wins.

Payton Manning will at the end of his career be the best quarterback to have ever played the game and that will ever play the gave period ... no-one will ever be as good as him ... and the colts will go undefeated this year and win the superbowl easy ... they just got past 2 games inwhich ALL the critics thought they would lose.

It could be just about anyone, but most people believe the Colts are going to win the Super Bowl, because they have a great offense and defense.

NO SIR.   payton Manning is 100 times better.   sorry, but rex grossman is not the reason that team is undefeated.  its the defense.

i know the present hype is new england, but i just dont think when it comes right down to it anyone can handle peyton manning and the colts, im thinking indianapolis over seattle.

There is no obvious great team in the NFL this year.  Even the explosive Colts have big problems in their defense.  I think the best team would be the Chargers, simply because they don't have any serious weaknesses.  They may not be incredible in any area (except LT and the running game), but they are solid all the way around.\n\nThe worst team is the Raiders.  Name one person who you think is talented on that team and I'll show you one person who is overrated.  Some say the Cardinals, but that's just because of their record.  If they could get their offensive line together they'd win mroe games.\n\nThe Colts will lose in the playoffs to the Chargers, for the aforementioned reason.

I think so. They won three Super Bowls. They won when they had to and beat the best teams to get there. What else can you ask of them? No team continues to dominate forever but they still have to be considered a potential Super Bowl team. I'd call that pretty awesome.\n\nI know that when I was growing up in the 70's the Steelers and the Cowboys were the yardstick that others were measured by as they won and won. Now it's the Patriots.\n\nBefore you think that I am a New Englander just touting his team I'll tell you that I live in Indianapolis and was a Steelers fan before the Colts came and now have to split my time between those two teams. The Pats sat them both down so my hats are off to them. May the best team win. Lately it's been the Patriots, Steelers, and Colts.

It will be a great game for sure when the Colts and Chargers meet in the AFC championship game.  The edge would have to go to the Chargers here.  I am biased of course, but I have reasons.\n\n1.  The Colts have absolutely zero rush defense.  With LT hammering them during the game, they will lose.\n\n2.  Many people say that Shottenheimer is notorious for blowing it in the playoffs.  And they are correct.  But Tony Dungy doesn't exactly have a great playoff record.  He had a good team in Tampa, that won the year after he left.  Now he has been in Indy for 6 years (?), and they have had the undisputed best team for years.  And Dungy can't coach them to a win.\n\n3.  Although Addai did a great job at back this past weekend, he is still a rookie.  And when Merriman and Castillo get in there, they are gonna hurt him.  \n\nBut that game will be more entertaining than whoever ends up in the Super Bowl.  The AFC is much better...IMO

Apparently, you all don't know good football.  Everyone has an off day.  Didn't Pittsburgh get stomped by us at home during Monday night game in regular season?  Hmmmm, wasn't the score 27-6 and Pittsburgh didn't even score untill 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter?  Yea, you all got skill...good at running your mouth, not a football.  They are the only team who got where they are BY LUCK!  And Denver is going to show them what it's like to win championships.  As for Indy, big deal.  We will hold our heads high and see you in the playoff's again next year!\n\nGO COLTS!!!!!
