Will Indy go 16-0?

Luxorreb · 11-24-2005, 05:23 AM

Will the Colts be able to protect their undefeated season and go 16-0 in the regular season? Will they win the Superbowl?

Luxorreb · 11-24-2005, 05:26 AM

I think they have a great chance of going undefeated, although they'll probably lose a game or 2 towards the end of season due to benching James, Harrison and or Freeney and Manning. They will not win the Superbowl in my opinion regardless. I like their team. World class. But for some reason they will fail to win it all; kinda like Philly last season.

no way.what will they do if they are 14-0 and clinched?do they rest people to avoid injury or try for perfection?

Daseal · 11-24-2005, 07:12 AM

As long as they don't rest their guys once they get homefield advantage (which with the way Denver is playing will be very late in the year) they can go undefeated, and I don't see any team that can rush with the front four and drop people into coverage like they're able to do on defense and that potent offense.

I simply don't think ANYONE can beat them. Pittsburgh is going to get blown out this weekend. That's my prediction.

I hope they go undefeated. Just 'cause I'm sick of Nick Buonticonti and those stupid '72 Dolphin champagne parties.

I also think if Denver keeps winning (and sure hope they do it this week,) that the Colts will have to keep their players in up until the last game of the season. If Denver somehow gets homefield advantage, I believe it will be the same situation for Indy as what it has been in the past couple playoffs.

You dont think the Colts can beat the Broncos in Denver? I think the stars have finally aligned for the Colts this year. Its near impossible to stop their Offense and now with their Defense teams arent putting up as many as in previous seasons (except for the playoff bound Bengals) I think Indy wins it all and don't care if they go undefeated because the only thing that matters is the trophy.

skinsfanthru&thru · 11-24-2005, 11:22 AM

I think it's just too hard no matter how good they r looking. I think they might slip up against either Pittsburgh, San Diego, Seattle, and possibly even Jacksonville. They might even wind up losing 2 of those without them resting their players or maybe it's just hopefull thinking so they stop talking about this almost anytime football comes up on sportscenter.

Nope. Not out in the elements. That was the biggest reason why they couldn't beat New England.

This will all be a mute point when they lose the Steelers. Sorry folks, the Colts will lose when it matters.

SmootSmack · 11-24-2005, 11:52 PM

I think they could go undefeated, but if I had to pick when they'd lose then I would say to Jacksonville.

Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Seattle are some pretty tough teams. I think those three teams have a better shot of beating Indy than Jacksonville.

Daseal · 11-25-2005, 11:04 AM

Pittsburgh will be taken out of their element by Indy. Game won't even be close.

jdlea · 11-25-2005, 06:36 PM

I don't know if they'll have to change their gameplan entirely, but with Big Ben injured I think it will be very difficult to keep pace with the Indy Offense. Pittsburgh can't get down by more than one TD, otherwise, they're screwed because if they have to rely on the pass, they can't compete with the Colts.

Gmanc711 · 11-25-2005, 07:13 PM

This is the first team in a long time, where I actually think they have a real chance at going unbeaten. If they are 14-0 or so, I really hope they dont start resting starters and crap like that, I'd really like to see them take a run at this.

Honestly, though, I still think the team that could beat them, if not in the regular season, is New England in the playoffs. That matchup still has to be in their heads, even after this seasons win.
