"I really think if we were in the other conference, we probably would've been to three Super Bowls," Irsay said. "This probably would've been our fourth. In '03, '04, '05, we lost to the team that won the Super Bowl, the Patriots twice and the Steelers.
It's hard really when you try to come up with everything that goes with that equation on the team of the decade, because obviously with some of the individual and team accomplishments that we've had - the 23 regular-season wins in a row, 115 wins in regular season - that's something really special...So again, it's made it even more impressive and quite frankly, it's almost unimaginable when you think of seven seasons in a row with 12 or more wins."

Presumably, since they LOST to the Super Bowl Champs each of those years...
…the answer would still be one.
Media twisting what he said.
He said been to, it says been to in the article. The headline says “won” but Irsay never says it.
Frankly they probably would have been to that many more, the NFC has clearly been the inferior conference this decade.
But I bet the Patriots would of won it in ’06 then, playing the Colts at a neutral site.
And if leprechauns existed there'd be pots o'gold by the rainbow
But they don’t, in the world the rest of us live in.
The Colts are in the AFC.
Otherwise we all get to play that game – lets pretend the Patriots were in the NFC all those years, too! And Steeler fans can pretend as well! Lets move the whole AFC into the NFC in our pretend fantasy universe!
AFC is clearly stronger than the NFC this decade
Simply put: team of the decade argument is down to Pats, Colts, Steelers. NFC? Heh.

You realize that Bears team barely lost to the Pats in Foxboro 17-13.
I’m pretty sure you would have beaten them, but to say it was a definite is silly, since the 07 Pats (better than the 06 Pats) lost to the Giants (worse than the 06 Bears).
EVH+DLR=BFFs........ God I Hope So!!
barely doesn't count in this game
Think anyone on the winning side would care if the Super Bowl were won by just one point?
Keep the faith!
That same logic refutes matthew.40's comment
so let’s just go with your comment.

The Bears declined significantly as the season progressed.
They were a shell of their early- to mid-season pinnacle when they reached the SB. Their defense kept them in games, but their offense absolutely fell apart. Anyone would have beaten them in that SB.
kyle orton should have been the qb for the bears season not rex grossman

The Beats were awful on O
they had a QB controversy in the week leading up to the Superbowl, and their HB stable was caught in infighting and one-upmanship. Not exactly a great environment to score points.

to make up the numbers
In the first year after the merger they were moved to the AFC to make geographically balanced divisions. They were an inagural member of (shhh) the AFC East. We’re brothers.
As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead
