Ok, I have a question about this perfect season that may happen for the Colts. Does the perfect season include the playoffs and the superbowl?? Or is the perfect season just 16-0 regular season. I know the fins only won 16 games but that was the playoffs and the superbowl.

So if the Colts go 16-0 in the regular season, but get beat in the AFC Championship game or the Superbowl is it still a perfect season?
 
It's not a perfect season, but to make it that far they will have won more than the 17-0 that the Phins had.
 
Good one. You are gonna get lots of arguments here because we are Dolphins fans. I am going to call it a perfect season. 16-0 in this era of free agency and cap it is very tough to do. If they don't go on to win the superbowl it will be called the perfect "regular" season until the end of time. I guess it's how you look at it. The season is a 16 game schedule and then the playoffs to me. Others think the playoffs are included in the season. I guess it comes down to how you define season. If they win 16-0 then lose in the playoffs, the Dolphins accomplishment is still greater because they won the superbowl and went undefeated in doing it.
 
to me...i look at it this way...for the Colts to equal what the Fins did in their perfect season...they need to be 17-0...that's it. if they are 16-0 in the regular season...that means that they won 16 out of 16 games...so what I'm saying is they need to also win 1 playoff game...if they can win 17 out of 17 games...I will say that they were able to equal what the Fins did in 1972...if they go 18-0...they accomplished more than what the Fins of 1972 did and with they go 19-0...16-0 in the regular season...2-0 in playoff games...and 1-0 in the Superbowl....19-0 then that would be the perfect season and bigger accomplishment than the 72 Fins.

Go Fins!!!
 
They have to win out regular season, playoffs, and superbowl to be perfect:evil:
 
if they go 16-0 and not win the super bowl they will go down as the biggest chokers in sports history

no...the biggest chokers in sports history is reserved for the Buffalo Bills. This is not intended for smack at all...but that's just my opinion and probably the opinion of many others who follow and watch sports!!!

No Doubt.

Go Fins!!!

come on if they went 16-0 and didn't win the super bowl they have to be the biggest chokers ever
 
I don't see how it could be called a perfect season without going 19-0 and winning the SB. I'm surprised anyone would see it any other way. Perfect=Championship.

However...

...if they do it (and my guess is they won't), it will be a greater accomplishment than the Fins' perfect season.

no not at all...going to the super bowl 4 years in a row and not being able to win 1 of those games IMO classifies the Bills at the biggest chokers ever in sports history.


Go Fins!!!

does anybody see them bringing in tee martin and fulmer to get them over the top? who really thinks a combination of manning and dungy will win a big game, ever?

You can't penalize the 72' Dolphins because their season was 17 games and not 19, if your going to do that then penalize the Colts accomplishment(if they actually do it) because they won't have to go on the road for the AFC Championship at chilly Pittsburgh like the 16-0 Dolphins had to do.
