Colts
Pats
Steelers
Packers
All on the road.
Would that be, by far, the most impressive Super Bowl run ever?

Steelers did the same thing in Super Bowl XL.

Steelers did not face Brady
the Giants won 3 games on the road and then beat Brady in 2007-08

My point is, by itself, winning all your games on the road isn't enough to be considered "by far, the most impressive Super Bowl run ever?" It's been done before. So other factors need to be considered.

Then the Pats game was a game that was supposedly going to be a repeat of the regular season & we were going to lose by 20+.
We're still underdogs & expected to lose this week & if we played the Packers in the SB, we'd still be underdogs barring major injury to Rodgers.
Anyway, I ask "would it be the most impressive run to a SB ever?". Is there a more impressive one already out there?

I didn't have them losing the game either. With Peyton Manning you always have a puncher's chance and in Indy it's even more likely. On a toss up I picked Indy, but that doesn't mean I expected them to win or thought they would. Every week during the season on the lottery pool I pick Indy and Buffalo to win and New England to lose. This is for gambling purposes, not for insight purposes.
And as for most impressive runs, I'd say the 07 Giants winning on the road the whole way in Dallas and in OT at Green Bay, then taking out the perfect season. Tampa may not be as prestigious as winning in Indy but taking out the 07 Pats and beating Favre in the snow makes up for it. The 01 Pats had a super run too. Beat the power house Raiders, lost their starting 1st season starting QB in Pit and still won, then took out the Greatest Show on Turf.
If the Jets beat Pit, which they already have, then no one will be surprised at all by a win against GB or CHI. The Pats and the Giants were huge underdogs in the SBs they won. The Jet's won't be more than a 3.5 spread, if that.

if that happens it would be a really impressive run

@Ted - I don't mean JUST because it was all on the road, that's just additional "wow"; it's the teams they beat. In the last ten years the three best teams in the NFL have been the Pats, Colts & Steelers.
@Hack & Shallow - One of you is saying the '07 Giants because you're a big Giants fan & the other one is saying them because them beating the undefeated Patriots will go down as a greater day than your wedding & birth of children. That road in the NFC wasn't terrible at all. The Bucs? Right there the Jets road is better. The Cowboys then might beat the 2010 Colts, but not the Pats, Steelers or Packers & this years Packers team is better then it was then.
The only real "wow, that's amazing" win was the win against the Pats.
But the 01 Pats was pretty awesome.

Good wording. It is a big "if". I'm just being optimistic after hearing we had "no chance".

Eaaaasyyy now.
The colts aren't the Colts of a few years ago.
The Pats aren't the Pats of a few years ago.
Granted, both teams are GOOD teams (with the Pats being better at this point), and these were good wins no doubt and no credit taken away from your boys here.
Greatest Super Bowl run ever, maybe pushin it. I can't really think of something off the top of my head, I'd have to look into it.
Dont count them chickens before they hatch, ;D. As a Cowboys fan, I admit I bought into ESPN and the media's hype for my team and did that, and lemme tell u, its way more disappointing that way when it doesnt work out.
