New Colts banner: "WE HAVE MORE BANNERS THAN THE PATRIOTS"

Tom Brady could quite easily end up never having lost a game to Andrew Luck.

Sorry to be the one to inform the Indiots, but fleecing the Jete in a draft day trade isn't really a sign of genius.

Suck for Luck became Suck is Luck. At least when they tanked most recently they ended up with a boatload of Jete picks.

This is a good season for Indy to be talking about being a challenger to the Pats. They might not play the Pats until 2021.

Colts fans should be scared at just how god awful Luck looked in that playoff game in KC.

It's amazing how Colt fans are conveniently overlooking that little factoid. The rose colored glasses are being given away for free around here.

I can see why the article has to include a comparison or threat to the Patriots:
- Like the OBJ thread, the Patriots are the top-line benchmark for everybody at this point.
- I would guess the Colts still have phantom pains/longings from the Peyton era where they were legitimately and fairly consistency giving the Patriots strong competition.

Yep, it's not exactly a secret that the same team has played in the conference championship game for the past 8 years in a row. Contending for the AFC=competing with the Patriots.

Thanks. Really funny. If you watch the entire clip on YouTube, it also includes the butt fumble. So, the Pats' D played a (good) role in two of the five "worst plays" in NFL history.
