Im not denyijng that they are a great team, howver, the Colts match up very well against them. The Saints strength on offense is throwing the football. The Colts, on defense, is stopping the pass. I believe the Colts, if they meet the saints in the superbowl. could pull off the win because the Saints defense, while playing a lot better than in years past, is somewhat overrated. They come up with turnovers, but also give up their fair share of points. Given that teh colts offense is far superior to anything the Saints have faced, the Colts could jump out with a lead early. Once that happens, the Saints will be forced to throw and the Colts could unleash their pass rusher. If you are foced to throw against the colts to catch up, you chances of winning become almost nill.

they are a great team , and more important the most complete team right now, (other teams are working on getting there).

Tha said , their defense is not that great , INTs on the 1 yard line are fortunate events if you take those away from them they will probably a 5-2 team.

On offense they turn the ball over too much for comfort and the last 2 games had made them beatable.

Maybe they feed of those close games and drop down from the cloud they are and make the corrections and then they will be really scary but for now theyre just another elite team on this league.

One last thing NFL.com week 8 power rankings is not a unanimous decision with the saints on top , 2 experts have the colts that couldnt be if the saints were that scary.

I also think even if we got a lead on them that they’d be capable of coming back. It’s like the Pats game in 2007. You have so many weapons on offense and a great QB, it’d be impossible to stop them forever. I think that it would be very tough to hold them to fewer than 24 points with as many weapons as they have. I mean the past two weeks they’ve scored 35 and 46 points despite turning it over 4 times in both games. That’s scary good. I still don’t think they’re defense could stop our offense if it HAD to though. If we did play in the Super Bowl, I think that it’d play out similarly to SB XLIII. The Colts would storm out to a lead, the Saints would come back to take the lead, and Peyton would lead a TD drive to win it at the end.

make it to the big game before they would play either team……..so……..at this point……I dont care!

=)

that the Saints and Vikings will lose in the second round to the Lions and Rams, respectively, and that we get one of the two in the SB.

I’m just sayin’

Greatest Show on Turf a decade later. You can stop them if you really play disciplined, you can get turnovers. They will get their points, they will get your yards, but if you try hard you can do the same to them. I think they are better than what some think here, and are a legitimate candidate for a 14-2 or even 15-1 type season, but the Colts can beat them.

Freeney and Mathis and co. could force Drew Brees into mistakes. Like we saw the Falcons do last night. The difference would be, we would capitalize on them.

Freeney and Mathis.

I can’t remember any D-line really bringing any pressure on Brees, not even the Giants’ “great” D-line, so is the Saints O-line that good? Also, the Saints D has improved, but they’re giving up 3 TDs a game. If they can ever get it down to the low to mid teens, then I’ll be impressed.

Anyway, like MARVINDY said, we have to make it there first before we can talk about them.

Don’t let the fast start fool you. It’s only halfway through the season and there is still a lot of football left to be played. Also, don’t forget the past teams that everyone was gushing all over and what happened to those teams.

2005 – Colts – lost divisional round
2006 – Chargers – lost divisional round
2007 – Patriots – lost Super Bowl
2008 – Giants – lost divisional round

Only one of those teams even made it to the Super Bowl and none of them won it.
I like being under the radar and hope it stays that way. Go Colts, keep winning by 10 or so points and let everyone worry about the Saints as we keep chugging along.
