    Do you guys think that it's possible that a team behind a dynasty in the same era could be considered a dynasty? I mean, if the NFL ended today, would you consider the Colts a dynasty? The Colts are probably the best offensive team in NFL history. They have one of the best, if not the best QB of all time, and perhaps the second best WR of all time. They do have won title to show they could win. The Colts dominated the regular season the last two years. Do you think it's possible?

    No. Peyton Manning isn't the best QB of all-time, Joe Montana is. You just don't know much about football outside of Indianapolis.The Patriots are a dyansty and unless somebody wins 5 super bowls, they'll continue to be this decade's dynasty. The regular season doesn't matter.I think the Cowboys dynasty had the greatest offense by the way.

    If you call the Colts a dynasty, then you have to call literally dozens of other teams dynasties. [​IMG]

    Yeah..in a single season. Manning isn't even sniffing the top 10 all-time.Okay maybe he is but you're wrong, he's 7th.IF IF IF If the Patriots didn't have such good chemistry, if the Patriots hadn't smoked the Colts, if the Patriots hadn't been the toughest team in football.Delete this rubbish.The Patriots have been the best team of the 2000's.

How many titles could the Jazz have won if it weren't for the Bulls, who cares? The word 'Dynasty' is thrown around so much these days...it's ridiculous.

    Oh, sorry if I came off as an ***hole there, it was just kind of shocking that you suggested the Colts were THE dynasty. I don't think so. I think the Colts offense will be remembered with Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Edge and maybe someday Addai but they won't as a team be remembered as a dynasty.

    I think your all being a little harsh on PFF. He was bringing up an interesting topic. Also, Manning is one of the best QBs of all time. That shouldn't even be debated.

    Its true that the Colts have one of the best offenses EVER but they couldn't even get past the Pats for godsakes. They have about 2-3 more rings to win before they can be considered so.

I think the Colts will get several more titles before the Manning era is over

    Absolutely not. Winning one Super Bowl compared to winning three in four years is not considered being a dynasty. Now if they do happen to win it again this year, I'll agree that they could be considered one.. But with the way New England has dominated over the first part of this decade is just too good for the Colts to be anywhere close to a dynasty. If that were the case, Pittsburg would be a dynasty, Tampa Bay would be a dynasty, St. Louis would be a dynasty and most likely Baltimore would be a dynasty. Look at the win total Indianapolis has put up in the last five seasons compared to New England... '01 NE 11-5 IND 6-10'02 NE 9-7 IND 10-6'03 NE 14-2 IND 12-4'04 NE 14-2 IND 12-4'05 NE 10-6 IND 13-3'06 NE 12-4 IND 12-4Although they look similar, the Patriots have gone 12-2 in the post-season, the Colts have gone 7-4. Three Super Bowl championships basically seals the deal for NE being a dynasty in this decade, but if Peyton Manning can get one more ring I'm sure that could be contested once more. But for now, the Colts are not a dynasty.

    hahahhahayou can't be a dynasty without superbowlsthats why the pats are one, and the colts arentthey're more like top teams who never made the superbowl because their quarterback couldn't get the cock out of his mouth (or the football out of his hand if you prefer) in time

    The Colts have won one championship. No, they are not a dynasty. Their defense is too inconsistent and dynasty teams are built around a great defense. If the Colts win 3 more championships in the next 4 or 5 years, then we can have this discussion, but to have it now is ridiculous.

That defense was one for the ages, I mean they won a superbowl with trent dilfer! :worthy:
