Yes that '05 team was awesome, should have been champs that year

The '06 team that actually won was mediocre and stepped it up on D in the playoffs.

They kind of cancel each other out, but would have rather they won with that '05 team. Best overall Colts team since they have been in Indy.

Mediocre? I get that the 06 team wasn’t as good as the 05 team, but let’s not get carried away. They were 9th in the NFL in point differential. They were good, not great.

Yes mediocre

The run D was horrible, probably the worst in the league to ever win a SB.

23rd ranked D overall. 32nd ranked 3rd down D. 31st ranked red zone D.

Completely propped up by the offense that year, which was loaded everywhere.

Gave up 173 yards a game on the ground. 5.3 yards per carry

All about Bob. One man changed everything on that team. Damn that guy was such a force of nature!

The acquisition of Booger McFarland was huge as well.

Agreed, but my point was about setting the team up as best they could for the Super Bow that year. In particular, Mathis and Freeney were absolutely gassed by Week 15 and needed the time to recover. The team was better equipped for Baltimore and NYJ because they were well-rested, and it showed in those two games.
Great points.

How was the run D during the playoffs? Thats what counts. How many rushing yards did they give up in jacksonville? Nobody cares, they won a super bowl.

It just won't be as enjoyable on Sunday watching Brissett/Hoyer instead of Andrew...or even a young Chad Kelly.

Brisket and Hoyer make me want to barf, but given the circumstances that Luck left them in, it's probably the best the Colts could do at this point. My overall excitement level for the season has dropped from 95% to about 40% though. We'll see how it goes.

Perhaps alcohol would help? :cool:

Winning 12 games does not a mediocre team make.

And benching Gilbert Grape was perhaps the most evident addition by subtraction that I’ve ever seen in my life.

Let's not forget Rob Morris was a Legend for that season. :cool:
