In 2011, the Colts had a record of 1-13 heading into a nationally televised game against the Jaguars at home on Thursday Night Football. Not only did more than 64,000 fans show up at Lucas Oil Stadium, but they were going absolutely bonkers on the Colts' final, game-winning touchdown drive which left only 19 seconds left to play when Dan Orlovsky hit Reggie Wayne with a 1-yard TD pass ...... if one didn't know that the Colts' record was 1-13, you would have thought that a playoff berth was on the line for them.


Fast-forward the following video to 56:00 to see the crowd go bananas after the game-winning TD ...... Peyton Manning is rooting as hard as the maniacal fans were on the sidelines.

Everyone is giving them crap for leaving, and I understand it.

On the other hand, what better way to show you think the product out there is horrible.

It's all relative. After we knew that Peyton was out for the year and realized how bad the team was after week 1, we were happy when the Colts were competitive and ecstatic when they won. This Denver team (and the Colts as well) are more like the '01 and '15 Colts teams where the expectations were really high going into the season, but it turned out the team pretty much sucked.

I still have night sweats about the game that I decided to beat traffic on and leave early, which was on December 2nd, 2012.

In my defense, We had travelled across the border from Canada to watch the game, the Colts were getting their faces kicked in and we were hungover as hell and wanted to beat the onslaught of chirping from Lions fans as we left.

Andrew Luck threw three interceptions and completed 44 percent of his passes against the Detroit Lions and may well have won the Rookie of the Year award in the process.

Thanks to two Luck touchdown passes in the final three minutes, the Indianapolis Colts stunned the Lions. Everyone remembers the play, Luck flipping a quick pass to Donny Avery after threatening to run with 0:00 on the clock to win it.
I just remember being on a shuttle buss to the Detroit/Windsor border- myself, my fellow Colt friend, and about 30 other Lions fans on their phones ready to smash them.
Amazing for the Colts and horrible to miss all at the same time. I will always regret that, and told myself from that day forward to never give up on my squad until the clock strikes 0:00 (and even then wait until the play is over).

Let's be honest, how many people watched till the end, the 2003 comeback vs the defending SB champ Bucs on MNF, when we were down 35-21 w/less than 5 min. to go?

I know I did.

Actually, the Colts were down by a score of 35-14 with less than 4 minutes to play.

Correct, we were down by 21 not a score of 21. My bad.

This is actually one of my favorite Colts memories... I was playing cards and watching the game in the basement. My dad was traveling in New Jersey or somesuch, he had given up and went to bed shortly after halftime. When we tied it up I bombed his cel phone over and over until it woke him up.

I watched every minute and enjoyed watching Keyshawn Johnson in disbelief on the sidelines after he ran his mouth all game.
