Didn't we try Kerry Collins and he died or something? I use that season as an example of everything Peyton did. I also started to wonder if Polian was losing it. He had one of the quickest release QB's in the league in Manning who was the most hit QB after release. He decided to replace him with Kerry Collins who had the slowest release of any starting QB. That would never end well.

The problem with Collins is that the Colts signed him at the last minute. If Collins had been signed several months earlier, he at least would have been somewhat familiar with the offense ........ he wasn't. In fact, Reggie Wayne was critical of the signing for that reason. As much as a drop-off as Manning to Painter would have been, Painter (according to Wayne) was at least familiar with the Colts' offense, having been with the team for all of the 2009 and 2010 seasons plus all of training camp in 2011. Wayne was correct ........ they either should have signed Collins several months earlier, or not even bothered at all. As it was, it was a waste of the $4 Million that Polian spent on him for that ill-fated season. o

I saw that game. It was on Monday Night Football. In fact, Mike Curtis was playing for the other team (the Redskins) in the final season of his career. On one play Jones slid near the sidelines to avoid getting hit, but Don Meredith asserted that Curtis still wanted to hit him. o

It's really nice to see that there are some fans here who have also persevered thru decades of shitty teams to arrive where we are now. One time I actually had a girl at a convenience store counter in Reno laugh at me when I bought a Colts lighter. Good for you guys. I'm sure you are enjoying this big time.

Wasn't that also the lockout off-season? So the colts doctors couldn't monitor Peyton. And all of free agency happened the last week of July.

Even the fans who didn't come on board until 1984 have sustained a lot of crappy seasons ...... believe it or not, the Colts have now been in Indianapolis (1984 - Present) longer than they were in Baltimore (1953 - 1983.) o
