Why the Indianapolis Colts
Probably Won't Go Undefeated!
By: Jason Cunningham (11/28/2005)
There is only a slight chance that the
2005 Indianapolis Colts will go undefeated. You probably think It is hard to
live in the Indianapolis area and the utter such blasphemy. To be honest, I just
do not feel with a 16 week schedule that any team can go undefeated.
The 2005 Indianapolis Colts is probably
the best regular season team I have seen in my lifetime. Yes, I am saying
the 1984 San Francisco 49ers nor the 1985 Chicago Bears were not better, however
they did eventually won the their respective Superbowl. The Colts have yet to
capture this season's most coveted trophy, but then again it is only November.
It is so hard to go undefeated through
a NFL season that it has not been done since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Those
Dolphins did not have a 16 game non-playoff schedule just 14 games. Yet
you still have to respect the record, because those are all of the games they
were required to play. The Colts have a long road to win 6 more straight games
in six weeks. As this article is being written, it appears certain that the
Indianapolis team will defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While the Indianapolis Cots have a
dominating offense and terrorizing defense, it seems not plausible for them to
finish the regular season undefeated. Yes their team is suitable to go
undefeated and the best in my life that has not won the Superbowl, I cannot be
certain that 16-0 will be their record of the 2005 Colts. Only time will tell if
my prediction is correct.
