John Czarnecki of FOXSports.com has a message for the world: Don’t count out the Colts just yet.
We’re not even to the midseason point and most talking heads are saying what we saw last Sunday from Texas Stadium was this season’s Super Bowl prelude. We live in the world of instant gratification and, yes, the Patriots are off to a great start; they have become a scoring machine. And the Cowboys aren’t bad.
To which, I ask, what about the defending champions? The Colts are also unbeaten and, if they beat Jacksonville on Sunday, they will become only the third team in NFL history to start three consecutive seasons 6-0. Without question, the Colts suffer from being in Indianapolis. It’s all about location, location and location. Indianapolis isn’t a sports media market unless you’re talking auto racing or maybe college basketball. It’s like we have forgotten that the Colts even exist, let alone just won a Super Bowl.
Wow Czar thanks. You devoted an entire column to why football fans shouldn’t rule out the undefeated Colts? Seriously, thanks. We would have never thought to keep the only other undefeated team in mind when thinking about potential Super Bowl match ups. Without you and your unbelievable reminder, we as fans might have just assumed that the Patriots were the only true contenders for the Super Bowl.
