Wow, are you blind?

Seriously, you need to be celled for being a troll.

Hooray 21st century logic.

Yes, they have nice wins vs Steelers and Ravens but you can't tell me that they haven't benefited from playing the Lions, Bengals, Browns, Jags, etc in recent weeks.

Oh they've definitely benefited from those games. But they can only play the teams on their schedule. And they've beaten the teams that they should have beaten. And I wouldn't put the Jags in that discussion. The Jags are a tough team. When they play like themselves, they're a tough team and can play with anybody. Plus the Jags are a division opponent and you know they wanted to knock the Colts out of the Playoffs. But we'll see. You guys can speculate all you want and say that they won't win the Super Bowl and that defense wins games...blah blah blah, but that's why they play the games. I remember everyone writing them off when they were 3-4 and everyone said that the Colts' days were over...oh fast forward 8 weeks and looky there, Manning in the discussion for the MVP and the Colts are 11-4....whoops, looks like people spoke too early.

Here we go again...

Who exactly is "everyone" who wrote them off when they were 3-4? Can you link us to some threads where that happened.

In fact, were you even around these parts when they were 3-4... I don't remember seeing any of your posts.

If your answer is "Not here but [insert media, friends, anything other than OS related here]" then please save that argument.

It's setting up like 06 when the beat the ravens on the road this team makes stops when they need to we will see how it goes.

Huh? Look around man. Where were you? Everyone wrote them off. EVERYONE!!!! Even people here in Indy wrote them off. Seriously. And no I wasn't here on OS, but why the hell does that matter? Are people here on OS just different from every other person in the world?

I live in Baltimore so "looking around" isn't going to make much of a difference... nobody was talking about the Colts either way. It makes a huge difference if you're going to come here and say:

You're saying I told you so to a bunch of people that didn't say anything that you're arguing against. How do you know everyone here wasn't saying the Colts were just losing early b/c of Saturday's injury and Manning getting the rust knocked off? You don't, b/c you weren't here... so that argument should be saved for places where you know people were down on them.

PPM said they aren't a SB contender. Feel free to continue to go off on him... but not everyone here wrote them off. They have no victim card to play here.

Dude, there were a lot of people who wrote them off. ESPN analysts. People on forums. Local people here. People on the radio. I heard it everyday. Remember that Monday Night game against the Titans. And remember on PTI, when they were interviewing Jaws. And Mike Wilbon asked Jaws when he thinks the Colts are going to turn it around and get some wins going, this was when they were 3-3, and Jaws said we'll find out next week when they face the Titans. And everyone said that game was a must win and once we lost, even people on here, said they don't know how people can think the Colts will turn it around because their next two games were against NE and Pitt. A lot of people wrote them off. Go back through threads and find the Titans/Colts Monday Night thread and you'll someone on there say that he doesn't think the Colts will turn it around because the next two games that they had when they were 3-4. I don't know why it matters if people on here didn't say it...when everyone else on other forums and on TV said it. And this doesn't even matter. who cares. I'm done talking about this. They're 11-4, 8 game winning streak, Manning has been playing amazing lately, the defense will get it together, and we'll see come Playoff time.
