Colts get no respect until they blow out some so called Super Bowl team like the Saints. Get real
Defending World Champs HELLO!

I think it is the same reason the Pariots always have a fan base. Nobody really wants to believe the Colts can win. If they lose, the analyst will be the first one to say ” I told you they would lose”. If they win, the can say “They sure played a good game”. Analyst have there favorites, but there teams are not any good.

I am a Saints fan. But you are right that we were embarrassed last night. The Colts looked great. But do not be foolish enough to count out the Saints for the Super Bowl.

Lets see how they do against the Chargers or the Pats.I agree Indy has a great offense but their defense wasn’t so hot.Last night their defense came to play,lets see if it lasts.
In John Maddens eyes the only quarterback that matters is Brett Favre.

It comes from past experience. Teams that have had super offenses like the Colts typically have folded in the playoffs.
You have probably heard the saying “defense wins championships.” Usually a team with that much offense skimps on defense. So it takes while to turn the old defensive die hards.
The Colts looked great so the respect will come.
