Its ok to start believing now

[Warhorse]

It would be easy to say, "I think we are going to win the SB", if we had just won the AFCCG.

 

It would still be easy to say that when we win to get to the AFCCG.

 

But to say that now, to say that we are about to shock the NFL and take home the Lombardi in Lucks second season? Now that would be either brave.....or "not being real"....or just plain rose colored glasses apple drinking stupidity.

 

Therefore I will do just that. We are going to win the whole thing.

 

 

I love risking stupidity.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I honestly believe if we get the 2 seed we'll go to the SB

Well,  back in the summer  i placed a bet (8,000 rmb) on the colts to win the superbowl by 10+ (regardless of opponent) . If that actually happens, i'll collect almost 800,000 rmb. Needless to say, i'm getting pretty excited about it.

 

 

........

 

 

SO YES....WE'LL WIN.

If there is a road that sends us Mia/Bal, NE then I like our chances. Brady is Brady as always but we have the secondary to shut his young receiving core down like Cincy did.

[Deathiltis]

I'm starting to get a that weird feeling i got back in '06. Just feels like the Colts can win it all this year, or at least make it to the AFCCG.

[MrNLM]

I don't want the #2 seed... You see what happened when we got a week off earlier in the season? *shutters*

I do think we have the secondary to deal with New England if Toler is healthy and Manusky calls a great game. Davis, Toler, Butler, Gordy, Vaughn can deal with Thompkins, Dobson, Edelman and whoever else they have.  Especially with not much of a threat from the tight ends with Gronk being out.  However I think they will challenge us in the running game, and with those little quick passes to the backs out of the back field.  Seems those little small shifty running backs like Vereen, Woodhead(yeah I know he's with the Chargers) Sproles, Giovanni Bernard all seem to give us trouble.

 

I think we are getting more and more comfortable on offense with the new personnel and talent. I think we can deal with their defense and put some points on the board. In regards to the first round game I'm not so confident about the Miami matchup. It's not that I don't think we can beat them because I'm very sure of that, it's just we had a problem keeping them out of the end zone in the last match up and we had a heck of a time covering Mike Wallace, Toler was getting smoked! They have a fairly stingy defense as well, although it seemed lie we moved the ball pretty well in the first match up. We could certainly take advantage of deep balls to Darick Rogers on Brent Grimes this time instead of trying to win jump ball match ups to T.Y. over Grimes.  Baltimore I think we would beat this time around.

[achcolts]

just got this gut feeling weve had alot of things up our sleeves and were gonna unleash, AND we have the ability to beat any team, AND were gettin hot at the perfect time

[Brent71]

Oh no, i can see from these posts alot of Holiday drinking has been going on.

[adamthyst]

You can believe that, but me, I'm kinda superstitious and believing it'll jinx the team if I ever think that. I'll wait to see how the playoffs fares for us and if Indy makes it to the AFCCG and wins it.

[ColtsBTM12]

It's never the team that everyone is suspecting to win it all(Broncos or Seahawks), its always the under-the-radar team that no one is talking about that gets hot at the right time. If our defense can keep playing the way they have the past 2 weeks in the playoffs then we definitely have a chance, especially with Luck and the offense finding rhythm amongst Rogers,Whalen, and Brazzil.

[backshoulderfade]

3 seed would be ideal, especially with the momentum of winning the last three games. But I always believed. Going to line my pockets some too if it happens.

[Franklin County]

I live on the Crazy Train so count me in!!!  

[MaoBerry]

Yes, i believe. But i believed back in april, so YA ME! The best 8,000 RMB i ever gambled away. FIRE IT UP! FIRE IT UP!

[fatboy]

There is no team we cannot beat, but the ugly games with Rams and Cards resonate. Our D is waking up now, the O is finally evolving post-Reggie, and we are hopefully getting several players back from injury. We are trending up.

Love the post, chuckled at the title of the thread, and in my head I took the thread title one step further....."Is it ok to start believing now?" LOL this team has not made any of us fans very secure in believing what we see at any given moment........

[Rob Lowe]

I think we're getting hot at the right time

[Smonroe]

This thread reminds me of the last scene of The Sopranos. Some may think we'll get whacked. Some may think everything works out happily.

Either way, they had the perfect song playing...

Don't stop believing!

[Warhawk]

Well, I'm always optimistic.

[JustAColtsFan]

It just kinda feels like 2006.  The defense getting hot at the end of the season.  I will be happy with winning the opening playoff game.  Anything else will be like getting extra Christmas gifts I wasn't expecting.

 

GO COLTS!!!!

although i have been one of the few people who HAVE had faith in the colts all year even against the much better teams, I think they can win the super bowl, i honestly think they can beat denver and seattle again also. come playoff time though one game at a time. but def love the enthusiasm

I said in another thread that it is really most about a team getting hot at the right time and that the Colts have just as good a chance of being that team as anyone.  Every team in the AFC is flawed to one degree or another.  The Colts' flaws, both the real and perceived, are well-documented here.  But those flaws seem to have gotten better over the last few weeks  - oline, defense, WR's -and they have the franchise level QB that Super Bowl winning teams have.

 

Why not the Colts?  Would I bet on them?  No but I do think they can make some noise in January.

i have said that in numerous posts lol. if this defense plays how it did sunday no team would be able to stop the colts. 

[JoKeR]

[Dr. T]

We've already shown that we can beat the Seahawks, Broncos and 49ers. I think we can beat Brady as well.

But there are two teams that scare me: the Cards and Cincy.

Because they both whuuped our butts.

[Dr. T]

Oh, and we beat KC as well and can do it again (especially in our house).

Also scared of San Diego, who also beat us. Hopefully they miss out on the playoffs.

[CS Colts Fan]

but  we have Luck who has photographic memory... I don't think any of those teams would beat us a second time ...

 

I too was saying with a fellow fan after the KC game that the D is looking eerie similarly to the 06 team in shutting people down at the end of the year and the team is starting to get hot at the right time.. 

[krunk]

I have developed a real good feeling about our chances as of late. I like some of the changes we are making

personnel wise, and I like some of the changes we are making on offense. Also like how we are turning it up

a notch on defense.  I sense something good is about to happen!

Good point about Luck. But I hate SD too and hope they miss the playoffs anyway.

[PrincetonTiger]

I Believe

[Franklin County]

I think this team wants Pagano to hoist his 1st Lombardi before he dances at the wedding.

 

These guys will run through  a brick wall for Coach Pagano.

 

This team is going to be a tough out come playoff time, here, there or anywhere... bring'em on, no excuses, 60 minutes of smash mouth football.

 

Loser goes home

[Slick_Rick]

I think the thing about us is that we have gone through the fire. We've lost so many pieces this season and still find ways to win hard games. Yes, we lay eggs, but I think we righted the ship starting with the second half of the Cincy game. We have learned to cope with these injuries. I'm interested to see what the Bronco's do with the loss of Miller. The Pats may be hurting too with Gronk out.

Yes, these teams played part of their seasons without both player, but the playoffs are a different monster. I'm hopeful that we can go on a run.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

The way this team is playing right now is comparable to the 2 Giants squads that beat the Pats in the Super Bowl. 

[coltsfanmilyman]

I believe winning the SB is about the team coming together at the right time and gaining positive momentum.  You don't have to have the best players, just the best team

[steveeoaktree33]

It seems to me that it's all about how WE'RE playing up to, and when the playoffs begin than WHO we play. Our '06 team was a defensive "liability" until Sanders returned and sparked the type of play that carried us there. (In my humble opinion) Two weeks in a row we have played together, although not still playing our best. Our mix of youth and Veteran leadership will carry us to the AFCCG. Then who knows?

In 06, i am sure the unit improved with experience but i remember Booger McFarland really dominating late in the season at DT.

Making plays and providing a serious push up the middle that Freaked the QB`s, ESPECIALLY because of Mathis and Freeney doing it too.

 Pray for his good health and watch Chapman now. That kid was THE MAN IMO  against KC and controlled the interior dynamic. Our ILB`s were set up to excel. A Wilfork, Ngata game? Maybe something close!

 And the speed addition of McNary. Good grief we have been desperate for that!!

 Werner being more sound the last two weeks.

 We can see it.

 Nixon solidifying the O-Line. Andrew SEES THAT!

 He can lay in bed at night dreaming of Progressions rather than Escape Routes. WHAT a Difference!

 

 Mediocre week to week, now, with two weeks to further improve, i have Expectations rather than hope, that we will play a Good,

all-around Playoff Game. yeehaa! Go Colts!
