Again, I don’t understand this argument. At all. Why is it a bad thing to be like the Braves? What they did was amazing.
Interestingly, Cardano makes a point that that Colts have arguably the top quarterback in the game and the arguably the top place kicker in the game yet, the it didn’t equal success.
“Special teams is much more than just having an outstanding place kicker,” said Cardano. “Peyton Manning did his job Sunday, Adam Vinatieri did his, but it wasn’t enough. Look at their special teams play; does anyone not think the Colts would have won last week’s game against the Jets without the two kick returns from AntonioCromartie? That 47 yard kick return with less than a minute to go in the game was as big a play in that game as there was. The funny thing is that very few ‘NFL stars’ making top money on either team were even on the field for it.”
This core group of Colts has to be very disappointed in last year’s Super Bowl loss. Not so much because they lost, but they know that was their chance to legitimatize their run. Winning two makes all the difference, it makes you a defining team in that era. Look at the, Atlanta Braves. From 1991-2005 the Braves won 14 division titles in a row, yet they only had one Worlds Series Championship to show for it and people rarely talk about them as an all time great group.
