your favorite win of the season

[CR91]

You have a lot of good ones

Luck beats his former coach

Colts ruin Peyton's return to Indy

Colts beat the eventual Superbowl champs as we were the only non-divisional team to do so

Sweeping our division

The great comeback against the chiefs.

[jvan1973]

easily the playoff win

[BrentMc11]

I liked the San Francisco win.  We clicked in all 3 phases of the game and 'unfortunately' were mentioned as a Super Bowl contender.

 

Bradshaw went down...Reggie went down and it took a couple of weeks to find a receiver to step up.

 

The San Fran game was a defensive gem!!!   :pass:  :pass:         !!!

[chad72]

The playoff win vs the Chiefs. Hands down the best!!!

[jameszeigler834]

The win against Peyton.

[Caleb3502]

Broncos game and chiefs playoff game.  Equally amazing. 

[GoDeep]

The Chiefs win is definitely the best.

 

But there sure were some good ones this year.  Broncos/Seahawks/49ers/etc...

[Kenny]

Chiefs game and the SF game. Chiefs as a show of what Luck can do when he is on, SF game to show what kind of beatdown we can put on the "powerhouses" when we are healthy.

[COLTS449]

Of course the playoff win VS Kansas City. If I had to pick a regular season win it would be Denver. Beating Seattle was nice too.

[pacolts56]

I gotta go with the road win versus San Francisco.

 

We just physically pounded them....and got a glimpse of what this "monster" will hopefully do on a regular basis in the coming years.

 

 

[Naptown Lifer]

Denver win followed closely by Seattle

I fell asleep in the chiefs playoff game when we were down like 99-0

Taught me to NEVER doubt captain comeback again.

[SilentHill]

The playoff game vs KC.

 

So proud to be part of the 12th man that day.

[gacker65]

Play off win against Chiefs, most complete game by team.

[BPM_Colt]

Beating Denver and KC playoff win are a close 1/2

 

Seattle and SF are right behind at 3/4

[CCH]

The win against Denver was pretty exciting. No one really gave us a chance.

My favorite has to be the Seahawks game, though. We beat the best team in the NFL at their own game.

[Bradley Prentice]

I would say the broncos until Reggie went down, that sucked the energy out of me...

I'd vote the Seahawks game. Luck didn't have turnovers and like the playoff game and it was a great win with bragging rights

[Colts_Fan12]

Regular season - the Broncos game

Post season - Cheifs comeback

But if I had to pick one its the cheifs game

[Indygal1218]

Top three: 

 

1. Postseason vs. Chiefs

2. Week 7 vs. Broncos

3. Week 3 vs. 49ers

 

Hon. Mention: Week 16 vs. Chiefs

[luckyblue]

After watching Seattle destroy Denver in the Super Bowl, I would have to say our win against the Seahawks, because that game showed were very capable of beating the best team in the NFL!

[B~Town]

Chiefs in playoffs 

dominate game we played vs 9er

Seattle shows we can when healthy be a SB contender already

[James Harden]

I like the Seahawks game and the Broncos. But the most excited game that gave me a emotional roller coaster ride was week 9 at Texans. We were basically blown out at halftime 21-3. Then came back in to win it all in final score 27-24. This game really prepared the Colts for the Chiefs knowing that they are the kings of comebacks. 

[bavanlan]

The win against Peyton.

 

Can't do it.  Not when it cost us Reggie.

 

I'll go with the playoff game.

[weaver84]

Toss up between Colts at Texans and Chiefs at Colts.

[braveheartcolt]

Let me think..........

[Patagonia Chris]

It's a tie between the Chiefs and Broncos. It's hard to say the Broncos though since Reggie was lost in that game.

[HorseFly]

Win against Peyton.

 

Favorite play...Mathis' long time coming strip sack/fumble of Peyton in that game.

[Nesjan3]

Best game to watch easily the chiefs playoff game, Lucks clutch ability is uncomparable to anyone in the NFL right now, that bomb to TY late in the 4th to take the lead was something else.

Best Colts performance of the year would be the 49ers game, of San Fran 4 losses they had this season we were the only team to simply dominate them, in their house as well. Our D and Run game easily put on their best performances in this game.

......and of course the Broncos game, Seawhawks, both Texans games..lol they were all goooood

[Buck Showalter]

KC, Denver, Seattle, San Fran-all epic

 

but I have never seen a play like the Luck-Superman Fumble Recovery leap into the endzone to officially get us back into the KC game...

so I guess the KC comeback extravaganza...

[Indygal1218]

Win against Peyton.

 

Favorite play...Mathis' long time coming strip sack/fumble of Peyton in that game.

 

I like the one where he broke the franchise record and did all those forward rolls in the endzone.  

[MAC]

Taught me to NEVER doubt captain comeback again.

Don't even start. Jim Harbaugh was the Colts "Captain Comeback".

 

Nobody even tried to bring that name back for Peyton, and he's got more comebacks than anyone. (Not that there haven't been about 138 others given that nickname in the history of the league).

[MAC]

Exactly - that's going to be viewed as a signature play of Lucks career, and an all-time great Colts playoff moment. I don't know how you pick another game.

[MAC]

Denver. No one really gave us a chance.

 

That's not true at all.

 

If that was your favorite, OK, but I don't see what unrealistic "nobody loves us" sentiments have to do with it.

[southwest1]

Win against Peyton.

 

Favorite play...Mathis' long time coming strip sack/fumble of Peyton in that game.

That play made me wince & recoil when I saw that unfold LIVE. I have never seen Peyton get blindsided like that. He was looking downfield & then wham! I was just relieved that Manning was okay. 

 

Peyton has such a quick release that a mishap like that rarely ever happens. It was shocking to see. 

[Ja'Crispy]

SF was the best overall win.

DEN was the most emotional win.

KC was the most exciting win.

[southwest1]

I liked the San Francisco win.  We clicked in all 3 phases of the game and 'unfortunately' were mentioned as a Super Bowl contender.

 

Bradshaw went down...Reggie went down and it took a couple of weeks to find a receiver to step up.

 

The San Fran game was a defensive gem!!!   :pass:  :pass:         !!!

 

My sentiments exactly Brent. It was just beautiful to watch. 

I gotta go with the road win versus San Francisco.

 

We just physically pounded them....and got a glimpse of what this "monster" will hopefully do on a regular basis in the coming years.

Precisely PAC56. That was a foreshadowing game of potential INDY Greatness. Now, if we could turn those brilliant flashes into 8 duplicate games of total domination that would be so spectacular. 

[MAC]

Favorite play...Mathis' long time coming strip sack/fumble of Peyton in that game.

So you enjoyed seeing a Colt legend have his arms pinned while driven helplessly face first into the ground by 250 pounds of muscle moving at a high rate of speed? How nice.

 

Mathis has long been one of my favorite Colts, but I lost a lot of respect for him on that play - all he had to do was knock the ball loose. I detest "intent to injure" plays regardless of who's involved, but when it's a 37 year old "friend" with neck issues who's so important to the league, it's just selfish, cruel, and classless.

[southwest1]

The hardest loss for us for that AZ Cardinals game. Man, that game was just brutal. No, SW1 is not trying to change CR91's topic here. I just want to know that INDY took her lumps, learned from this devastating loss, & is ready for a Bruce Arians re-match should we face them again next year. 

 

That's my benchmark: When my favorite team gets whipped behind the woodshed, how do we respond? 

[CCH]

That's not true at all.

If that was your favorite, OK, but I don't see what unrealistic "nobody loves us" sentiments have to do with it.

I don't recall anyone outside of maybe 1 or 2 guys picking the Colts. Andrew wasn't supposed to beat Peyton in a shootout yet. & every football fan I talked to during that week thought Peyton was about to annihilate the Colts.

But fine, I'll say the Broncos were clearly the favorites to be correct. Better?

You do bring up a valid point MAC. It is disturbing on here when some forum fans take jubilant glee in hitting Peyton Manning hard. Now, I realize that 18 is now a Bronco & no longer a Colt, but this willingness to erase everything Manning did in INDY does trouble me too. I can't lie. I will always respect Peyton & revere him for what he did for the City of Indianapolis & football lore in the Hoosier State. I agree 100% MAC.

 

Yes, some people on here may think I was rough on Peyton yesterday over the SB loss, but I will always honor his legacy & I was only dissecting the QB separate from the man & his good deeds etc. etc. Or rather, I was pointing out that good deeds done by Manning cannot be used as a shield to protect him from constructive criticism about his role in the loss as the franchise QB Sunday night. 

 

He is still an exceptional QB. That fact will never change, fade, or diminish in my eyes.

I enjoyed it thoroughly

 

If you don't want to see him hit the ground then tell him he should retire. This is football. this isn't a bunch of friends meeting out on the field for a fun day of tossing the ball around.
