Were you a Colts fan or hater before or after Manning? (1 Viewer)

I'm a Manning hater so I hate the Colts. I hate that he is breaking records while he plays in a dome in an era were you can't touch WR's. I hate that he's never had to learn to play with different OC and has always had at least one top notch WR. I still don't think he rises up in big games. I'd love to see him go thru a year like Brady did last year with a bunch of crap to throw to at WR and see what he could get done. But you do have to give credit were it's due. He's always has the Colts competitive and you have to admire his dedication and work ethic and precision. If he was the QB of my team I'd love him. BTW-I think the Colts defense will be horrid this year and in turn I look for Peyton to put up his second best numbers over the course of a season.

Colts hater after Manning manufactured that TD pass record. Throwing 6 TD's in the 4th quarter of a blowout victory against the Lions on national TV on Thanksgiving pretty much turned me off. Ok, so he didn't throw all 6 in the 4th quarter (that would be a record) but you get the idea.

1. Manning threw 0 TDs in the 4th quarter of that game. LINK2. Manning barely played in the last game of the year, and he got the TD record in game 15.

Hey zed, where are you going? zed?

Darn you guys and all your facts!I liked Manning before that season, and now I don't. That Lions game really left a bad taste in my mouth. It was a total blowout and Manning was still throwing TD passes when he should have been handing the ball off. And we all know that Manning calls the plays. Totally class-less if you ask me.

Oh wait, did I have E.James that season....?

Pfft. I am not a Manning fan at all, but you are dead-wrong. This is the NFL. There is no such thing as running the score up in the NFL. If defenses do not like being scored upon, make a stop. And besides, I cannot remember the exact numbers, but I remember James having poor numbers in the red zone that year when he was given the ball, so if teams couldn't stop Manning, it made sense for them to throw the ball more in the red zone. You go with what works the best.

Um, did you miss the AFC title game last year? Ya know, the game where Manning and the Colts overcame an 18-point deficit to win the game? I would say he rose up pretty well in that game.

I still think the Colts were robbed in an AFCC when Harbaugh threw a pass in the endzone and I think the refs called it incomplete, sending the Steelers to the Supe.... shoulda been the Colts IMO. But maybe I was drunk watching it. I haven't seen the reply in a loooong time.... anyone remember that?

It was clearly incomplete.

I guess I was drunk?

The real reasons the Colts didn't go to the SB in '95 was the dropped interception by Quinten Coryatt that hit him between the 5 and the 5, and the shoestring tackle made by Pittsburgh on Lamont Warren on a left end run. Otherwise it's a first down and the Colts go to the SB.Edited to say the Hail Mary was clearly incomplete, but I guarantee you that everyone in Pittsburgh had their heart stop for a second, lol.

That game still haunts me. Don't forget the Stewart TD that should have been called out of bounds.Colts fan since 1987, BTW, grew up in Indiana.
