Did any of you think the Colts would win at the half?

[oldunclemark]

Be honest. I didnt.

Down 21-3 and with GB getting the ball to start the second half, there was no logical way to come back.

....we got some breaks but that comeback rivals the AFC title game in 2006..

....and the 'Belichek lost his mind game', the 4th and 2 at the 28 gamble in 2008..

I still cant figure out how we did things aftre halftime Sunday we didnt come close to doing before that.

Amazing

[NewColtsFan]

Win at the half?

I didn't think we'd win in the 4th quarter! I freely admit my confidence level was not all that high.

And if the Packers hadn't screwed up the final seconds of the game, they might've tied it and won it in overtime. Who knows?!?

But I'm as pleased as can be to have been wrong. I feel great for everyone connected with the Colts. From the players, to the coaches and front office... from Irsay to all the fans... I'm really thrilled for anyone who calls themselves a Colts fan.

Must be a very nice day in Indianapolis I would think.... Hope the sun is shining bright!

Hey buddy! How are you doing?

[oldunclemark]

Hey buddy! How are you doing?

A lot better now than I was at 1:30 (2:30 EST) Sunday.

[corgi]

The 06-07 AFCCG kept creeping into my mind. I knew it was possible, but I also knew we would have to play a perfect half and GB would have to stumble a lot.

It is a bright, suny day where I am...and where the Colts are...its got to be almost tropical

[Warhorse]

Truthfully? I participate in an 82 fan pick em league....for nothing but bragging rights *cough*.....of course, and I have picked the Colts to win every week since the beginning of last year. Today, I stand alone for this weeks bag full bragging rights.

Feels downright giddyish.

That said, I felt at the half we would make it a game in the second half, but I did not outright believe we would win.

[Slick_Rick]

I had an inkling after the last two drives of the first half. I didn't go to church Sunday, but I prayed a whole lot during that game. Somewhat of a religious experience, really.

[swflacoltsfans]

I was watching the game from florida and thought it was going to be real ugly in the second half. i told my wife they would most likely switch to another game that was more competitive. how wrong i was.

[inviolable]

Not for a second, lol I was thinking Pack would put up a 40 spot.

Wont say that i didn't think that they wouldn't win but there are four quarters on any given Sunday anything is possible, I really wish i could have heard the speech that was given in the locker room during the Half idk what was said but it sure did Spark something on both sides of the ball.

[krunk]

I had my doubts, but I knew a 17 point lead was not the end of the world. Plus I had a good feeling about the cause we were fighting for. I didn't think they would give up so easily. Also I knew Luck is a fighter.

[Smonroe]

I thought it was going to get real ugly, like lose by 40 points ugly. I figured that any emotion we had at the start of the game was over. And with the big lead the Pack could do anything they wanted on both O and D.

I still don't understand the second half. I'm afraid to re-watch the game, it may either turn out differently or I might wake up.

I know...

We did not see the game up here in the Chicago area....

because the Bears were playing at 3 p.m. on FOX...

..I listened on the radio (the internet) and I wanst sure I wasnt hearing things

[braveheartcolt]

I have a good friend who is a Cheesehead. I emailed him (at H/T), predicting 50 points for the Pack. Perhaps my worst sporting prediction of all time. What can I say........

[luckyblue]

I have a question about these blogs, its like where do they go, I write one and its like gone in 2 minutes! Whats the sense in writing on these blogs when they dissapear so quickly! whoever is running this thing should make them stay on alot longer before new blogs are put on, it only makes sense!

At the half, I was optimistic we still had a chance if we could score the next points, and if they came in the 3rd quarter.

Based on what? I don't know. I suppose I'm still used to PM pulling such games out. We hadn't seen it from this team yet.

I think this is what some were tying to tell you last week.

Likely, no. Possible, yes.

[JustAColtsFan]

When we had the 2006 AFC Championship win I did not have my season tickets yet. I had always wondered what those people spilliing out of the RCA Dome were feeling - now I know AND I CAN'T STOP SMILING

You know, at the time that was happening, I was waiting for some indication of exactly what was going on there.

Was the center not hiking the ball when he was supposed to?

Recall who the center was?

Just wondering!

Kinda like they picked us to beat Jax?

Many of us here pick the Colts to win EVERY WEEK..even when they're not playing.

I know a once in a lifetime game when I see one.

Save the tape

[urbarra]

I delayed watching it until 3pm, and checked my Ipad to find the final score while still watching the first quarter. It was the only thing that kept me from throwing things when we were down 21-3. My wife said I was remarkably composed given the score at the time :yay:

[ruksak]

Nope. A quote from me at the half from the Gameday thread; "We just aren't ready for this".

[sb2001]

Not for a second, lol I was thinking Pack would put up a 40 spot.

Ditto!

You're correct, there are some who drink the Koolade.

However, don't be mistaken, about me or many of the optimistics. The issue is 'we CAN win this game', and not 'we WILL win this game'.

Once in a lifetime? Well, perhaps GB isn't as good as you thought. Perhaps, we aren't as bad as you thought.

GB? They're a very good team. No doubt, but they've had difficulties early this season, including ref issues.

Colts? Young and learning, and building confidence goes a long way with a young team.

Yep, it gives fans unrealistic expectations, but it also makes future 'no way we win this' games more winable.

Oh, and, since when does 'who they picked' mean a hill of beans?

[PrincetonTiger]

No

[Superman]

Nope. But I knew that we'd have to get a stop to start the third quarter, which we did, and then score a touchdown, which we did. After that, it was just another game, really.

By the same token, I didn't think we'd lose at halftime against the Jags, so, what I think at halftime clearly has no impact on what we do on the field. Imagine that.
