No pun intended right??

We shall see, I do'nt think they will stay undefeated though.

But Super Bowl bound...I do see that.

I think they go 15-1. Should beat Pitts at home with a possibly less than 100% Big Ben, Jax hasn't impressed me at all, they should easily defeat them, San Diego and Seattle are the two teams that I see with a chance but the Colts still should beat them, however I think they will loss one of those games (probably Seattle on road, resting guys) and I think most high school teams could beat Arizona.

Two difficult to winn all the reg. season games especially when they will have home field wrapped up and probably want to rest guys.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

Ahh, the old rest guys arguement.
While I think it's a possibility, I don't think Indy will be resting guys too much.
Peyton is way to professional, and with the O-line he has the guy is almost untouchable (only sacked 7 times this year). They're gonna get a bye in the first week, and I can see Peyton and the rest of that crew wanting to play the whole season for two reasons,
1) they want that perfect season
2) the don't want to get rusty by taking 2 weeks off.

My prediction:
Peyton plays all 16 regular season games, and when all is said and done, he's hoisting the Vince Lombardi with a giant banner behind him that says 19-0.

The perfect season includes the superbowl

If the Patriots get most of the injured players on defence back for the playoffs, I would not bet against them.

[Sylvanfan]

Well the Colts looked like they were about two speeds ahead of the Steelers tonight when the two teams took to the field. I'm beginning to think that they might just do it. The Superbowl is a given right now....undefeated for all 19 games is a definite possibility.

[flames_1987]

Another dominating performance for the Colts. But all post-game and late night was can they go undefeated bla bla bla, and it's only gonna pick up as they get closer. Next week against the Titans at home is a lock, the Jaguars game on the road will be tough, but David Garrard doesen't scare me then the SD game does. SD is gonna have a lot to play for I think that week, there really gonna need that win more then the Colts, but at home on the turf it's hard to not pick the Colts. Then the Seahawks game, it's likely the Colts will have clinched home field throughout the playoffs unless the Broncos win there next three. This is a big hurdle. But what if they did beat the Hawks and stayed undefeated, how long would they play there starters against the Cardinals? I mean if it came down to it, how much would they put out against that team.

Besides the Seahawks, I'm finding it hard to even think of a team that could compete with the Colts if they made it to the SB in the NFC

Superbowl is a given? The BC Lions were 11-0 this year too I think. There is lots of football to play yet. Injuries can happen. Another team could get hot. Turnovers can kill any team. Will be interesting to follow.

go indy!

me and my boss talked about this last night at work, we arelly think indy can go undefeated. they haven't beaten NE since when? Big Ben hasn't lost a road game ever.. they are pumped this year!

[Sylvanfan]

Well Peyton Manning has shown Brett Farve like durability throughout his whole career. Not to mention Indy does have an offensive line. Unless he goes down, the only team that might give the Colts a game is Denver. B.C. was relying on one of the most injury prone starting QB's in CFL history in front of an O-line that was questioned from day 1. After week 11 it was pretty clear that Dickenson had taken enough of a beating that he was physically done for the season. Two years ago when KC started 9-0 I could have told you in week 10 that KC would not get to the Superbowl, and that it would be the Pats. Despite all those wins at that poing in the season the Chiefs showed that they didn't have it. I'm telling you right now that the Colts do have it. I'm no Colt fan, but right now by beating the Pittsburghs, Jacksonvilles, and San Diego's they are doing my Chiefs a favor.

[flames_1987]

I wouldn't say making it to the SB is a lock for the Colts, but I have a hard time finding a reason why they won't. Tony Dungy will not let this team look a game or even a play ahead and Peyton Manning's work ethic is just sick. He's gonna get to lie back and watch the wildcard game see who he's gonna be playing and just pick apart that defense. Honestlly, I beleive he's hands down the best player in football that he won't let the Colts lose. The Colts are gonna play every game in the playoffs inside and if you heard that RCA dome last night you can see why that's a huge advantage. Then plain and simple, Edge is probablly one of the top 3 running backs in the league, Harrison, Stokley, Wayne, Clarke and a defense that can keep you in games it's just to much. We will see however, as I said nothing is a lock in the NFL.

If the Colts do make it the SB and it's not the Seahawks there facing, I think it's gonna be quite a blowout.

[Winsor_Pilates]

I know nothing about the NFL but I'm going to say they lose to Jax. Just a hunch

[Antithesis]

I'll own up to the ridicule if I'm wrong, but I can certainly see it happening. Pittsburgh was in my mind their toughest test remaining.

[mykalberta]

The SD game will be close, really depends on SD desire.

The Seahawks will be the test as they are playing really good, the D isnt bad. The key is for Hassle not to throw any pics on their side of the 50.

MYK

[flames_1987]

SD is gonna be one desprate football team. There season riding on this game. I think the Colts are gonna take this on as a big challenege and play right with the Chargers. It should be intresting to see if the Hawks wrap up home field as well, then who will play more starters come christmas eve.

[socalwingfan]

San Diego's secondary sucks - I look for Harrison to have a record setting day if he lines up against Jammer all game

[Mightyfire89]

The Colts are gonna lose to my beloved Chargers...lose bad...yaaa...that's it...(please god, let it be so).

No way! My COLTS are gonna destroy your secondary. I hope the triplets don't get the week off. I just love that 18 to 88 combo! I think June and Simon are not playing though so the Colts d will have some holes. GO INDY GO! WOOT WOOT!

[moon]

I think that the San Diego game may be the toughest for the Colts considering that it is almost a must win for the Chargers now.

Seattle should have home field wrapped up by the time they play the Colts and would theoretically be resting guys as well. Unless Seattle feels that they need the game as a statement to the Colts and rest of the league I would think that both teams would be at an equal disadvantage when it came to resting players.
