What was your favorite moment from the 2018 season?

[Hark]

Since it seems to be getting a little quiet here now that the season is over for our Colts, what was you favorite moment from the 2018 season?

 

For me it was watching this team on opening day and just seeing how hard they competed. It felt like we lacked that a little bit last year, and it was fun to have it back.

Nelson destroying Church

When we skunked the Cowboys.

[HarryTheCat]

Seeing Luck's first >10-yard pass with his rebuilt shoulder. Planet Colt breathed a collective sigh of relief, and all was right with the world once again.

First half in Houston playoff game.  Cowboys game.

Making the playoffs! We were so excited at my house!

 

WEEK 17 · Sun 12/30 · FINAL W 33 - 17 AT Tennessee Titans

 

Followed by winning the WILD CARD · Sat 01/05 · FINAL W 21 - 7 AT Houston Texans

 

Aside from those 4 consecutive losses, it was a good season to be a Colts fan.

[Barry Sears]

Wow, very good question and some very good responses.  I can't pinpoint a moment, so I'm going to cheat a little and say watching our OL protect our franchise.

 

Also enjoyed watching the Maniac and our defense improve.

 

Okay, I just thought of my favorite...the day Frank Reich was named Head Coach...I don't think that "other guy" would have had this team do what it did under Reich.

[Nesjan3]

1- Going back to Houston in the Wildcard round and dominating the rubber match, gaining invaluable playoff experience for our very young team.

 

2- Dominating the Titans on national television to make the playoffs after starting 1-5.

 

3- Marlon Mack out rushing Zeke and our defense holding the Cowboys to 0 points.

[Four2itus]

Cowboys.......0

[aaron11]

for me it was when Darius Leoanrd broke out in his second game against the redskins.  19 tackles, a sack and FF, he was everywhere.  it felt like an awakening 

[kornstar]

Both Titans games were great! Probably all 3 Houston games, even though we lost the first one, the going for it on 4th seems to have given the players something they hadn't had in the Pagano era, trust!

 

Oops, that is not "a" favourite moment, that is many.

 

I will say though, there were 2 moments that had this grown man jumping in my living room;

 

1) The Hooker interception in the Giants game that put us so close to the finals

 

2) The Smith-Schuster fumble that put our destiny in our hands

 

Ultimately though, Luck coming back and playing at the level he did when so many "experts" and "inside sources" had him done and dusted and his career over.  

[TDewar1987]

Shutting out Dallas was amazing.

Beating Houston at TY's house in the playoffs.

Watching our young players like Nelson and Leonard stand out.

Andrew Luck shutting everyone up. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Watching us stomp Houston in the Playoffs at their place. That game showed me that we moved up from good to very good by regaining AFC South supremacy. We aren't borderline great or great yet though like the Chiefs = borderline great or Pats = great but yeah that game

These were the two. It gave us a "pre-playoff" playoff game vs Tennessee.

[Lucky Colts Fan]

Beating the Titans in week 17 to get into the playoffs.

[crazycolt1]

Goose egging of the Cowboys.

[jskinnz]

Lots of great moments.

 

Probably my single favorite moment was when Hooker picked off Eli to seal the Giants win.  The game itself was a great comeback and the play kept playoff hopes alive.  Plus we had bought tickets to the Titans game in Nashville the following week so it meant we were going to a game that truly meant something.

 

Another favorite experience of the season was walking into Lucas Oil before the Cowboys game.  It was electric and felt like a big game.  In fact it felt like the first big game at the Stadium since 2014.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think mine was the fact we have a running game again. If Mack stays healthy and plays 16 games he will be contending for the rushing title next season. If  he had played all 16 games he would be right up there with Elliot and Barkley with about 1400 yards. It’s fun to have a running back with big play potential.

That reminded me of the Marlin Jackson pick against the Pats in the Title Game.

[csmopar]

I’m gonna go with a tie between the Cowboys and the Texans second game. Both teams in hot streaks and we spanked them. Especially the Cowboys!

[coltsfeva]

   All of the previously mentioned instances. 

   But NOTHING would match a Patriots loss in SB! 

 

[Chrisaaron1023]

I would have to say week 17. I was soo pumped for Sunday night football. Random people at the stores giving me props and telling me they hoped the Colts would win that night. It was awesome!

 

I know alot of us didn't know it till the end of the season. But, my 2nd favorite part was Jacoby running to the end zone to photo-bomb the defense's pose

Very true. There were a lot of Cowboys fans at the hotels, bars, restaurants, and of course at the game. But after the 1st quarter there wasn't any cheering for them. Only griping that they needed to fire their offensive coordinator. It was awesome!

I've decided this ^^^ was my favorite...most everything else was a result of this moment.

[lollygagger8]

It might seem petty, but when Luck pulled Clowney offsides with that hard count to clinch the win

 

...that was pretty freakin sweet.

Not petty at all, that was vintage Luck and his high IQ.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I honestly think this whole season was great from week 7 and on  . We had a stinker in Jacks but oh well. The loss to KC didn't shock me. 

[Tsarquise]

Playoff win against the pretender Texans. 

[NorthernBlue]

Colts trail Miami 24-14 in the fourth quarter. Luck and the squad battle back to tie the game.

 

Then with just minutes to go, on 3rd and long, with defenders all around him, Luck climbs up the pocket and on the run delivers the ball right into Chester Rogers' breadbasket and put the team in FG range, where GOAT ended it at the buzzer.

 

That play was peak Luck. The athleticism, the arm strength, the awareness and the clutch drive to end a game the Colts really shouldn't have been in a position to win anyways. 

 

I knew Luck was back for a while, but that one play cemented it.

That was the week we realized we could still make the playoffs after losing to the Jags. That was a great moment. Also the comeback against the Dolphins and Giants at home, and the Titans game plus the Texans playoff game too. So many moments to remember this season!

And his reaction to it.  So nerdy and perfect!

[ManningGM]

Honorable mention, but......Kenny Moore my goodness......he set the tone of our season picking Dalton off on the first play of our season opener. Such a shame we lost.

 

Defeating the 11-5 AFC South champions who masqueraded as a 9-7 team in the Wild Card Game. Making it known to the league that as long as Luck is healthy, the AFC South is Indy's.

[RollerColt]

My favorite moment was opening day. Sitting in the stands with my Colts brethren, and just the stadium reaction to Andrew walking onto the field. It was such an amazing and emotional moment. You could feel the atmosphere and love everyone had for that man that day. People cheering his name. Heck even Bengals fans standing and clapping for his return. 

 

The game itself of course was a bummer at the end. But seeing Luck back out there throwing, live in front of the fans in a meaningful game. It was special, and we really felt that with Andrew back, football in Indiana was finally back. 

 

And to think how far we got from that moment in September...

Hands down Lucks best play all season! Great game too.

I was lucky enough to be at that game. What a rollercoaster ride!

The comeback wins against Miami and New York.

[LockeDown]

Cowboys game. Not even close for me. 

[Gramz]

There were a lot of good times this year, but shutting out the Cowboys has to be at the top of list for me.
