You really are not exaggerating and what you say is very true.
If you listen to the NATIONAL sports media shows, they will even admit it Certain teams get ratings. The teams you mentioned, plus the Giants. And occasionally the Jets. that's what they know and what they talk about constantly.
Its the media environment we live in. national shows and papers do not cover all the teams and have no intention of doing so. They offer up teams and items they know will get phone calls, hits, responses, whatever electronic BS measuring device they have, they don't care about it otherwise.
If you want to know about other teams you listen to local media. The national guys don't have a clue about the Colts, Panthers, Bengals, titans, any of these literally any more than we do. In fact for the division teams probably less than we do.
I happen to think the Colts will be better this year than last, assuming Luck is healthy. The secondary is better. The OL is improving. Hankins for the DL is a big signing. Yes there are still huge LB and pass rush questions, but they did not regress to the point where they are winning less than 8 games this season. They aren't going to be a deep playoff team, but they won't be finishing 4th in the AFC south
