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.

Wow you must think Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer are better than Dan Marino if you think rings are the only thing that matters. It cannot be argued that the Colts are a top 10 team over the past 10 years (probably top 5) and the rams are probably in the bottom 10.
Yeah and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. The colts won that game and whether Kubiak's mini stroke played a part in that or not can be debated, even with Kubiak on the sidelines the Texans were an awful second half team. The colts are not as good a team without Reggie as they are with and that cannot be debated. But I believe Pep Hamilton and Luck will be able to get the offense back on track.
It's almost unanimous between NFL experts such as Steve Young that Luck is the better QB and no offense but personally I think his opinion carries slightly more weight than yours. If you just go on head to head record luck comes out ahead, and you said it yourself the Colts have no running game. If Luck played with Lynch & and the Seahawks line he would be in much better shape.
Also please don't put words in my mouth. I never dismissed the Rams as an easy win, or dismissed them. I never said they were a bad team.
