Ha ha. That's why the Dolts-Patriots isn't on primetime because the Dolts will win by so much right ?

I mean. It IS true. Over the past couple years the Colts have done just that.

Not saying they toast ALL teams in the league (of course they wouldn't toast the Pats) but against the league's average opponent, they blow them out. Much like the Pats are doing.

i think its polian being full of himself. Reason they are not in primetime is because other networks are fighting for their share of ratings - one of the main reasons cbs got the pats game this yr instead of nbc.

I think they MORE than compensate with the volume of Peyton Manning commercials playing these days. I'll bet he's pimping 20 different products on commercials these days. And that doesn't even count that, with a couple clicks, I can jump inside Manning's Mind and hear the museum-like echo any time I want.

The colts almost lost to the titans by 2 points. They barley beat a bunch of average teams last year.

So, by your account the Pats were average? The Colts beat them twice.

I knew I would take heat for it, but the Colts are a good team as of late. Do I think its ****y for Polian to say that? Yes. BUT, if that was the reason given to him, why shouldn't he repeat it? Because he will sounds lame?

Keep talking Polian

Really? I hadn't noticed.

If I were a colts fan this year, I'd be pretty good and pissed this year.

Imagine the shoe were on the other foot. We were defending superbowl champs, were undefeated against a decent schedule, and seemed to be rolling toward another easy playoff appearance.

Yet all we heard was about some other 5-0 team out there that we had beaten the year before the in the AFC championship. I'd be pissed.

It's pretty much all Pats all the time these days, whether positive or negative, we're the team that everyone seems to talk about, despite the fact that Indy are the champs and will be until someone knocks them off.

Could you imagine the disrespect card we'd (and our coach) would be playing if the shoe were on the other foot?
