Must be easy to talk smack with that 0-8 record! The "forgettable" Colts are the only team in the league to have defeated either the Seahawks or Broncos so when another team even beats one of those teams we can talk about the "forgettable" Colts with the best young qb in football. 1 and done in the playoffs is a whole lot better than no playoffs since 2007. I said the Rams were a forgettable team due to the lack of media coverage on them and the fact they play the team I follow once every 4 years and don't have a lot of stories based around them, unlike your Buccaneers.

If you wanna say the Colts are the better regular season team, sure no doubt on that one. But sorry, in the last 15 years the Giants, Steelers, Ravens and Patriots are all better than the Colts, and teams like the Rams, Saints and Bucs are just as good for the only reason that matters: rings. The game is played to win, so while the Colts have been masterful in the regular season, they are massive chokers in the playoffs.
The Giants 2 Super Bowls came on the backs of a combined 19-13 regular season record. The Colts won 23 straight regular season games with...0 Super Bowls to show for that stretch. The regular season, to put it lightly, doesn't mean ####. So if you're happy to have 15 great regular seasons in a row and 1 Super Bowl to show for it, congrats I guess.
I'd also add that while the wins of the Seahawks and Broncos are nice, those early wins also mean nothing because as evidence from the last two weeks the Colts are in trouble without Reggie Wayne. Probably would have lost two in a row if not for Kubiak's mini-storke. You dismissed the Rams as an easy win yesterday and lo and behold you're eating some crow right now. The Colts are in deep trouble with no running game and no Reggie to open up the passing game. If not for their division being horrible the Colts might actually be in danger of missing the playoffs, but the pathetic AFC South ensures they'll get in.
And best young QB is very debatable when Russell Wilson is beating him in every statistical category (except passing yards) and has more playoff wins.
