What did they give up?

I actually have them above the Patriots, but that’s due to my Cincinnati proximity.

Youre not the first Colts fan to proclaim their hate for the Steelers.   2006CBE is another.   
 

I just don’t know why?   I always thought of them as a classy well run organization.  What am I not understanding from a Colts perspective?

@Nadineis another one.

 

To make it clear: I respect the hell out of the franchise. 
 

It’s the fact that some of the most heartbreaking losses in my lifetime between being a Colts and Bengals fan have come at the hands of Pittsburgh. And their fan base… is not very classy from my personal experience.

Perhaps my favorite Pittsburgh stat is this….   Isn’t it Noll, Cowher and Tomlin are the only Steeler HC’s for the last roughly 55 years?   I think that’s an unbelievable stat worthy of highest praise.

Which game was that? Who was the head coach of the Colts then? Who was the QB? Anyone I may remember? I think I remember the Colts back to Ted Marchibroda and L. Infante (Lindy?). I became a fan of the NFL in the early 90s but I do not remember the Colts/Steelers game of 1995.

Jim Harbaugh and Ted nearly had us in the Super Bowl. We lost a last minute heartbreaker to them…

You can watch it on YouTube...It was a magical season, but the AFCCG was an all-time devastating loss for us seasoned Colts fan.

This was the game that  started my colts fandom.  Too many bad memories with Steelers. From this game to the one where Nick Harper’s wife stabbed him in the leg and he got shoe stringed tackled by Big Ben.

Is that the year that Jim Harbaugh beat a Marty Schottenheimer coached team? If so, I remember it well. Like @2006Coltsbestever 's mom, I liked the QB. Lol. I was rooting for that QB.

Surely you jest, sir.  I will never forget it.  I was an Army helicopter pilot.  We had flown from Honduras to Belize for a mission, OTW back to Honduras we landed near a small beach resort and went into their lounge to eat and watch that game.  I was the ONLY Colts fan in the vicinity.  Crushing loss, sad and quiet flight from there back to our base in Hondo.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I have caught up on reading the latest posts. 

 

@NFLfan, Jim Harbaugh was the QB in 1995, Marchibroda was the Coach. We beat KC at KC who was the #1 seed that season to advance to the AFC Title Game. Steelers barely beat us in a game that we outplayed them but got screwed by the REFS bigtime.

 

@NewColtsFan - I hate the Steelers because in almost every big game when they were great, they got every borderline call. Vs the Cowboys in SB 13, Vs the Colts in the 1995 AFC Title Game, and SB 40 was so bad, it looked fixed for them to beat the Seahawks. That was the worse REF'd SB of all-time.

Yep. We were fire that year all the way until that last play.

I remember that. That was upsetting. You guys upset the Chiefs, I think. I think I still remember the look on Schottenheimer's face. Wow, that was in 1995?? Time flies.

Man… I know how the drive following a hard loss is from Indianapolis in the car. I can’t imagine it flying a helicopter back to base in a different country. What a story. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

One reason why I don't hate the Cowboys as much as many do in here is because I wanted them to beat the brakes off of the Steelers in 1995, and they won. I knew against the Cowboys, the game would be called fairly because it was the Cowboys. I also liked Emmitt Smith.

What a memory! I'm glad you experienced the joy from the 2006 Super Bowl win.

Sorry.  Don't get down. You have a new year of football to look forward to.

 

Any free agents you want? Any positions you want to address before the draft?

Sure was. To make matters worse for me personally?

 

I’ve been in person for each playoff loss the Colts and Bengals have suffered to the Steelers. 2015 was the final straw in Cincy. I no longer attend any Steelers playoff games lol…

[2006Coltsbestever]

Hey we beat the Steelers last season with Minshew at QB. Look at the bright side 

[Arodgers12]

You guys actually remember where you were in 1995 for the Colts Steelers AFC title game? The Packers got beat earlier that day 38-27 by the Cowboys. Us Packer fans were heartbroken cause we played Dallas tough.

After losing in 2003, 2004, and 2005 I felt like the Football Gods owed us in 2006. We were just too great to at least not win 1 SB. Had we not won a SB, all those wins that decade would've been for nothing. Winning that SB justified our greatness. I feel bad for teams like the Bills of the 90's, 4 straight AFC Championships but no Ring! People always remember them as the team that lost 4 SB's in a row.

I remember the Packers kept up with you guys in 2004 until the 2nd half then you guys pulled away. Remember the Manning vs Farve battle?

Yeah, that was an offensive battle. Fun game to watch. 

[AwesomeAustin]

How in the world did we get on that depressing 1995 AFC championship game?!?  Btw, I was 12 and watched it with both my brothers in the living room. When they called the Hail Mary incomplete we erupted and were yelling at the TV. My dad thought we were fighting and came in yelling at us and shut off the TV and sent us to our rooms. We were grounded and the Colts lost. It was a terrible moment of our childhood lol. We still poke at the old man for that here and there.

I was at the Packers Colts game in 2000 In Lambeau. The Packers won 26-24, we almost gagged a 19-0 halftime lead though.

Trust me we felt your pain that day. My Packers lost to Dallas 38-27. We were the 1:00 game that day. You guys were the 4:30 game. I remember how we had lots of snow that year.

I was deployed to Soto Cano a little before that time; in 1992 and again in 1993. I suspect you liked to park there sometimes?

[2006Coltsbestever]

My hate rank all-time:

1. Patriots

2. Steelers

(tie) 3. The other 3 teams in our division, simply because they are in our division. Titans, Texans, Jags.
