How long did Patriots fans say Manning can't beat the Pats away, in the playoffs, or win a Superbowl? Now that he has done 2, and probably will have done the third, what will you say then? Manning hasn't won 3 or 4 Superbowls so the Colts aren't as good as the Pats? You can't just change your arguments to suit you.
Peyton Manning has all the ability in the world to win in any situation. He has proven it on all avenues except the Superbowl, and if he does it there too Patriots fans have nothing to say.

No one's changing arguments, until he won Sunday it wasn't an argument it was true, he couldn't win the big game, plain and simple. He's now over that hurdle.
If they win the superbowl will they be as good as the Patriots? They'll be better then this years Patriots, and last year the Colts beat the Pats in NE in their only meeting and both teams lost in the same round of the playoffs, so clearly you'd have to say the Colts were the better team in last year.
Now, are you asking if the Colts win the superbowl will they be as good as the 2002-2005 Patriots who won 3 superbowls in 4 years? Of course not.
7 teams (one of them twice) have won back-to-back championships.
2 teams have won 3 superbowls in 4 years.
So no, until the Colts win more then one superbowl I wouldn't call them a "Dynasty" or put them in the same category as those other teams.
Does that take away from winning a superbowl? Not in my opinion.
But, RP seems more interested in trying to make things up and take shots at the Patriots then talk about the Bears.
I'd like to see Manning get a ring, but if he doesn't I can't wait to hear RP's excuses...
