Championshiporbust Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 They beat the 3-time Super Bowl champs, the New England Patriots, to get to the Super Bowl...... Any team that beats the Brady Pats is a historic team (2006 Colts, 2007 Giants, 2011 Giants, 2012 Ravens, 2015 Broncos....) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the colts had played the Chargers in that playoff, they would have been decimated by Tomlinson, Rivers, Gates, and that defense. Out of curiosity, do you regularly watch football when it's on or do you casually watch football?

CP3MVP Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 That wasn’t even the best colts team of that era 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Their QB had 3 TDs and 7 picks in the playoffs. The KC - Indy and Indy - Baltimore games were which loser will end up with the least points type of games. Bob Sanders was on fire in that playoffs and maybe 15 other games in his career. 2/3 on offense is very good 23/21 on D, not so much The Patriots WRs were Reche Caldwell, 35 year old Troy Brown, and Doug Gabriel? I think Gabriel at 3 was hurt so Jabar Gaffney filled in. Then Manning played Sexy Rexy to about even due to a Hester kick return until the Grossman pick 6. NOT IMPRESSED 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 2004 and 2005 Colts teams were better lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I mean I think literally everyone considered the 04, 05, and 07 Colts to be way better. Them winning in 06 was a bit of a surprise largely caused by San Diego being upset. 2005 is typically the real heartbreaker for Colts fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) The 2006 team is definitely underrated. An upper half Super Bowl team. You can make a case 2004 and 2005 were better, and it’s a solid debate, but the 2006 Colts were not far off from those teams + got it done in playoff time. I’d say 2005 was their best team, 2004 was Manning’s best year, and 2006 was still a phenomenal team. The 2003-2006 Colts were a phenomenal Super Bowl window team. 2007 was good too, but not on par with the others.

August4th Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I thought the were kinda "meh" when compared to other colt teams of that era. I appreciate them knocking off the 06 Ravens tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich homie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think that team still holds the record for the worst run defense in NFL history? Not just by a Super Bowl winner but like ever out of all teams to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggie. Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This was actually the weakest Colts team during their prime year (04-07). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The team that gave up 375 rushing yards in a game is not one of the best teams in NFL history 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LieutenantGains Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) The 2006 Colts are lucky the Patriots beat the Chargers. Chargers would have beat them in the AFC Championship Game. 2005 Colts were the best Manning Colts team. Still have no idea how they managed to go one-and-done. In all of my years watching, there are 5 teams that it shocked me they went one-and-done. 2005 Colts 2006 Chargers 2010 Patriots 2011 Packers 2019 Ravens Edited February 27, 2021 by LieutenantGains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
