Are the Colts really that good of a team? I just think that they didn't face any hard offenses. But still they did beat the number 1, 2, and 3 defenses. Just looking for some feedback on this question.

When the pressure is on, anything can happen. Reminded me of the BCSC national championship game.

...but in this case the team I was rooting for won.

my bias is im a bears fan by marriage... wife is long suffering fan from forever ago.

obviously last team standing is champion. that doesnt always mean best. i thought san diego was going to hoist the trophy. and if my bethrothed's beloved bears won, id certainly say they werent the best overall, just that day. they might have been the best in the league the first several games, but after that did just enough to not lose most of the time. none of the fire from the st louis game was there.

what i saw last night was a colts team that was absolutely beatable versus a bears team with absolutely no reliable offense. the bears offense of the front of the season is nowhere to be seen. the defense played well enough to win... even through the ponies moved the ball, i was surprised at how they didnt score more points.

maybe thats bias from seeing the "old" manning led colts, the team that absolutely lit up the board. yes, they scored, but to go into halftime with a slim lead... it sure seemed they wouldve been up a little more. guess i cant forget the rain might have had both sides holding back a touch on the passing...but its had to think manning wouldnt just take a shot if he thought someone was open. point is not to pick on manning, its that it seemed like they were beatable.

so props to the colts. they won out the playoffs. they are the deserving champions.

I don't like the Bears. On some occasions bears have been known to attack people.

Not really the answer I was looking for but ok

A competent qb might have made a different, but they played well short handed as it was so congrats to Payton and the Colts who showed up big in the playoffs.

I really don't think they are that good. I just think the NFL is on a down side right now. If this team played in the '80s or 90' they wouldn't get past the first round of the playoffs.
