They are underachievers, Peyton Manning & Tony Dungy
SAN DIEGO — Another 12-victory season . . . and nothing.
Another Peyton Manning MVP season . . . and nothing.
Another Tony Dungy playoff appearance, his record 10th straight . . . and nothing.
Another glorious chance to advance to a Super Bowl, their second in three years, with the New England Patriots out of the way and the AFC unfettered by the existence of a dominant team . . . and nothing.
Let’s just say it how it is: The Colts are the ultimate paper tigers. And if you don’t like the Atlanta Braves comparison — multiple postseason appearances, one championship — feel free to come up with your own. But how can a franchise be so routinely dominant year after year, and yet be found so routinely lacking when the brightest lights are shining?
