I see a lot of people who are underrating the Colts saying that people are overrating the Colts


One game is one game. The Patriots had Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner and a bunch of pass rushers. They had an offense that even the Seahawks had a hard time stopping -- who do you think could have done any better covering Gronk? The Colts were clearly overmatched in that game but let's not suddenly act like their defense didn't make a leap this year.


Vontae Davis is one of the best press corners in the NFL and across from him, Greg Toler had a very solid season. Both of them intercepted Blake Bortles, I don't know if you remember. With Ricky Jean-Francois and Bjoern Werner dialing up pressure they hardly missed Robert Mathis. D'Qwell Jackson is one of the leagues best coverage linebackers. Let's not be biased just cause we're Jags fans -- the Colts had the league's 11th ranked defense overall PLUS Luck playing lights out nearly the entire regular season.


Also yeah Gore and Johnson have two years left each IF that, and both will probably miss time due to injury. But you're out of your mind if you think, even at their age, that Trent Richardson/Reggie Wayne is a better duo. Richardson is terrible, Gore can read gaps way better and pass protect and catch passes much better for Luck, and it's not like Richardson is much faster.


Johnson's been a step ahead of Wayne throughout their whole career, and he didn't have to become a slot/underneath receiver because he's still pretty fast. Johnson has done more with crap QBs even recently than Wayne has done with Andrew Luck.


So yeah, id be afraid of the Colts if I were you. Are they unbeatable? No, their offensive line is trash and their defense is weak over the middle of the field. But it's pretty ignorant to say they aren't getting even better. They have a dominant QB who has done better every season, and a better defense than they've had since 2006 -- give our rivals some credit where it's due, even if you hate 'em.
