UVA_CAVALIERS 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hard to believe no one has posted a thing about the Colts..so I will. The Colts are 11-0 the first team to make it to that mark since the 98' Broncos. From their first offensive play Monday night they dominated, Manning hooked up with Harrison for an 80 yard pass and catch for the TD. The Colts dominated the Steelers, winning their 11th straight game 26-7. This team is for real, the #1 ranked offense is always running on ALL cylinders, and their #2 defense is playing nasty!! With their remaining schedule... Sun 12/4 Tennessee 1:00 pm Sun 12/11 at Jacksonville 1:00 pm Sun 12/18 San Diego 1:00 pm Sat 12/24 at Seattle 4:15 pm Sun 1/1 Arizona 1:00 pm I think this group has the best chance to go undefeated since the 72' Dolphins. Peyton is on pace to shatter all the other Qb records, (and being a Colts fan) I wouldn't mind to see this record broke/tied. GO COLTS!!

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I watched part of the game last night and watching Manning QB is such a treat despite the fact he played on "Loser Top" (LOL Tom). The way he steps to the line and reads the defense three, four, and five times before making his final play call shows how much film-study the guy puts in during a week. He'll go down as one of the top 5 QBs ever, Super Bowl title or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UVA_CAVALIERS 10 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I agree 100% but I think this could be the Colts year. They beat the Patriots AT New England, and obviously took care of the Steelers last night. A by-week first week of playoffs, and Home(Dome)field advantage all the way through the playoffs..and oh yeah the Superbowl is at Ford Field which is indoors , Manning is a genius and your correct, super-bowl ring or not he will be top 5 All-time. With a Superbowl ring or two, I think that slings him to contest with number one all time when his career is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 It's funny, I remember when Manning was a senior at UT the "Experts" on talk radio were saying he wasn't NFL material and the Colts would do better to draft Ryan Leaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think they have a reasonable chance to go undefeated this season..I think 2 good games will be Jacksonville and the Seahawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ryan Leaf was a complete bust. I was one of the people who thought Leaf was a better pick. What was I thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 It's amazing how easily threads get taken off-topic isn't it? lol Back to the Colts, do I think they'll go undefeated? No, the NFL is too competitive from top to bottom for it to happen nowadays. Do I think the Colts are the best team in football right now? Without question. Great running game, great passing game, and a MUCH improved defense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,533 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 No way would Bob Griese(sp) be ahead of Montana lol But anyways I think that the colts will stay undefeated till they have to go to seatle on christmas eve. i hate watching a colts game myself, because it takes so long lol he's always audibling at the line, takes along time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UVA_CAVALIERS 10 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I personally think the Colts will go undefeated, unless of course they rest all their starters when they get home-field wrapped up. I think the Colts are in control of there possibly undefeated "destiny", the only team that can beat the Colts is the Colts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I hope the colts DONT go undefeated, because "EH" ,Bob Gresie lead the dolphins to the undefeated season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,533 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 that don't make him better than montana that won 3 rings (i think) and turned san fran into a dynasty in the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 well to be the only team in the history of the nfl to undefeated i belive gives a lil more than just 3 championships because he has won rings also and just think how tought the defense for the other teams was during the 70 ... pittsburg ,oakland, dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uderricky 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I've seen it all now....someone is trying to say Bob Griese was a better QB than Joe. Take off your aqua tinted glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee 10 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 now he might not be better but his accoplishment makes him stnad out more to me but its opinion joe was a great qb also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Bob Griese wasn't even the best quarterback in Dolphins history (A fellow names Dan Marino deserves that title). And in my opinion, regardless of Super Bowls, those two are neck-and-neck for tops all-time (Montana for his consistancy, Marino for numbers). That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

BooYah 10 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 [ QUOTE ] I hope the colts DONT go undefeated, because "EH" ,Bob Gresie lead the dolphins to the undefeated season. [/ QUOTE ] Actually Bob Griese broke his leg in the 5th game of that season and Earl Morral led the Dolphins to 12 of their 17 wins. Griese did not start another game until the Super Bowl where he was 8 of 11 for 88 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. The most famous (or infamous) pass in that game was by the kicker, Garo Yepremian, on a botched field goal attempt. Had that pass not been intercepted and returned for a TD, it would have been the only shut-out in Super Bowl history. That would have been nice to go along with the undefeated season. Too bad the Dolphins don't get a shot to end the Colts streak like they did the '85 Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
