Being a resident of this geat city all of my life, I have been a colts fan since they arrived back in 84. As I have watched many of the home games this year inside Lucas Oil Stadium, and the away gomes on the Sunday ticket, I have watched this team grow and mature each week. Among my friends and family, I was not taken seriously when I told everyone after the Green Bay win, and the way we won that game, that we were going to win 10 or more games this year and make the playoffs... They all are asking me now if I think we will go far into the playoffs since we have now won 10 games (and we will have 11 wins after Sunday), and made it to the post-season, if I think we will get to the AFC championship game. Sunday's game is so importamt with the seedings, and a win would shake things up-a-bit for Houston, as well as who we will see in the first round. I think we will most likely see Baltimaore, which would add some spice to the game, but if we get past the first round, look out for the Pats... If we play 4 solid quarters, contain the run, and keep Andrew on his feet, we have the talent and clutch players to make some noise in the post season, and get to the AFC championship game. If tht materializes, and as anything can happen, we also could face the broncos... What a trip that would be playing for a chance to go to the superbowl against our former franchise QB! Anything can and does happen in the NFL each week, and that is why the games are played... Who knows? I can honestly say that I am not surprised we are where we are at this point in the season; I knew we would be good this year because of the mentality of the coaches, the strong ownership direction of Jim Irsay, and the players we have. This City, our fans, and our football team has and continues to be a model for other professional sports organizations because of the class we expect and display on-and-off the field, the methodology of no one is bigger than the team, and that we believe that playing with a purpose translates to life and on the field
