Super Bowl XLIV - Saints vs Colts

[Analog]

Could be two undefeated teams in the Superbowl? What kind of ratings would that bring???

 

[Hacp]

Not much. The colts might have a big fanbase, but the last time I checked, Louisiana wasn't exactly a powerhouse state in terms of television ratings.

 

[slsmnaz]

A game to see who would be the last undefeated team standing would be huge. I'm not sure it would happen though (Colts are starting to struggle a bit)

Louisiana ratings don't matter since the SB is usually considered a national/worldwide game

That would be an awesome!

The Saints are so fast and explosive and the Colts play a very consistent and disciplined game.

Too bad the Bengals are going to the Superbowl this year...

Super Bowl XLIV - Vikings VS Colts!

Though honestly, I wouldn't mind too much seeing the Saints there.

If the Patriots or the Steelers make the Super Bowl (again!), I probably won't watch it this year. But, they both look pretty bad right now, so it does seem highly unlikely that either of them will return to the Big Game. However, this is the NFL...any given Sunday...

Hopefully we play a lot better than we did in our first meeting with the Saints.

I think the Saints are going to, well, slaughter everyone.

 

[soulcougher73]

I think it would be a huge super bowl with 2 undefeated teams playing it out. I would like to see that. And im a Pats fan so that is saying something.

If the Eagles even make the playoffs. Things are looking okay right now, but you never know when McNabb might forget that he's playing in an overtime game...

 

[mugs]

I'd love to see that. I'd like to see the Vikings too. That's assuming the Giants continue to fail this year.

 

[Miramonti]

I just can't imagine a team like the Colts, with such a relatively sh!tty defense (15th), making it to February.

Saints on the other hand...woah, they got their act together.

 

[TheSlamma]

I hope so but I think the Colts are gonna get beat, their defense is hurting.

they had a pretty bad defensive ranking in 2006 too.

That apparently shitty defense is allowing only 16.7 point per game average, which is 3rd in the league. Who gives a shit about yardage if the opposing team can't punch it in?

this ... so much to do with the storylines!

Then they've been lucky and are due to regress. That's like rating baseball players on RBI or runs scored.

Bob Sanders was pretty dope in those playoffs

agreed

Luck or not, the 11-0 is all that matters. I'd rather be lucky than good any day.

If they can beat the Titans next week they have a pretty good chance to go undefeated.

 

[Wreckage]

I'm hoping for Vikings\Bengals

Looks like the only tough team NO has left is Dallas and they have them at home.

Colts have Denver at home.

Seems like a fairly easy run to undefeated for both teams.

Although the AGS rule applies*

Let's make no mistake about it, their defense sucks. Granted 16.7 is good, but the middle of the pack is only 3.5 points more.

The colts allow a disastrous 44% in 3rd down defense, the 4th worst in the league (they make 50%, the best.) For comparison, the saints and vikings give up 33-34% 3rd downs.

Unless Peyton Manning is all about miracles, which of course is possible, the colts have an uphill battle getting to the superbowl with numbers like that.

/edit: They are also 5th in penalty yards...one of the last things you have room for in the playoffs.
