[BTM317]

I'm clueless

[UKColt13]

We flamed out in the playoffs?

[Smonroe]

I was going to say "Someone started a really bad thread", but there would be a "yes" next to every year.

 

(Not talking about this one, I like how you did this.)

[Smonroe]

We flamed out in the playoffs?

 

Nope.  Won the SB in 06.

 

Can't be - led the league in passing yards or TD passes, or could it?

[Dacoltsboi212]

We lost to the eventual superbowl champion lol

[Mr.Debonair]

We lost to NE?

[Ryan Pelley]

We lost to ourselves in 2006?

[Horseshoe]

Top 5 passin offense

[CroatianColtsFan21]

Just leaving this here for future reference.. I'm intrigued

you had sex?

[grmasterb]

Other than 2006, the Colts lost in the playoffs to the eventual SB champion in each of those "yes" seasons. Is that supposed to make the fan base feel better?

[peytonmanning18]

Yeah all the "yes" years we lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion which tells me that Irsay built a second tier franchise that can't get over the hump and has never been quite good enough, except one lucky year.

I'll take that vs being the Jags any day....

So, your definition of a "Second Tier" franchise is one that can make the playoffs every year but isn't quite as good as the best team in the league?

 

Wow, I wonder how many tiers there are in your world.

I agree...the forum always gets this way after we lose in the playoffs. Like treating us to an incredible season with some awesome moments isn't good enough for people. People tend to forget that only 1 team wins the SB every year and even then its typically a team that hasn't won it recently. It was over 10 yrs between Pat SBs....were they building a second tier team? I agree with you I don't know what people expect. In the last 10yrs we had been in the SB twice...which is a pretty respectable showing if you ask me. I would much rather be us than the Giants who have won 2 but only get to the playoffs every 5 or 6 yrs. Its like saying the regular season....all those sundays of winning and enjoyment don't count if you don't win the last one...and thats just dumb imo. If people wanted to go back and try to remember all those years in the late 80s etc and see if they wouldn't be excited to know they would have almost two decades of success like we have had....just unappreciative fans imo.

The giants won 2 rings against the patriots in the most improbable ways, I'd take that over all the one and dones and blowouts we've had this millenium

You're sig says otherwise. Unless you were the dude that started the thread about how the Colts should start cheating.

[DalTXColtsFan]

Those are all years where the Colts either won the SuperBowl or lost to the eventual champion.

[That Guy]

Why don't you add in the years where we lost to the team that lost to the eventual champions? 

 

 

It means just as much.

[Tor]

you had sex?

I literally cannot stop laughing. Excellent job

[jimmy g]

Thank you. I knew there was another married man out there somewhere.

[DalTXColtsFan]

Why don't you add in the years where we lost to the team that lost to the eventual champions?

OK, that would be 2008 (SD lost to Pitt who won the bowl)

 

In 2007, 2010 and 2013 we lost to a team that lost to the team that lost the SuperBowl.

[DalTXColtsFan]

Someday you'll turn 15 and it won't be nearly as funny ---

 

--- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

[jimmy g]

Someday you'll turn 15 and it won't be nearly as funny!

when you've been married 40 years,(like I have) you'll find it hilarious..

[bap1331]

One and done in the playoffs?

[NewColtsFan]

Wow.    You poor thing.

 

How you have suffered............

[Smonroe]

Wow.    You poor thing.

 

How you have suffered............

Hey, we should have won at least six SBs by now. Anything less was failure.

After all, a very wise man once said "If you ain't first you're last".

Okay, he wasn't very wise.

But I think he'd find some kindred fans here.

[bababooey]

Wow. You poor thing.

How you have suffered............

How long have you been a colts fan?

[NewColtsFan]

How long have you been a colts fan?

 

I've been a Colts fan for three years.

 

But I've been a Stanford fan for about 45 years.

 

You want to talk about suffering?!?
