Quote:I've only really mentioned the Colts over the past 12 months and that's because you guy's ego's compared to your teams actual performance puts even the Texans fans to shame.

 

You even are now calling yourself an "Elite organasiation". You are hardly the packers with their championships and their storied history and hardly play at Lambeau field.

In fact your team is still overshadowed by the Baltimore version, and your owner seems more meddling and annoying than Jerry Jones.

 

and Trent Richardson....hey we jags fans know what happens when you waste 1st round picks too often, and you guys seem to be good at that lately.

 

 

 

However Freeman is a beast, he played great from what I saw of your game. Luck was better than i've seen him play before too, he may be on the verge of being a top 10 qb if he continues...

 

Nobody seriously considers the Indianapolis Colts legacy part of Baltimore. Jim Irsay took over the team in the late 1990s from his dreaded father, Bob Irsay. Since that time the Colts have absolutely been an elite organization. In fact since Jim Irsay took over the Colts in 1997, they have been among the most consistent winners in the NFL.  Not only are they among the most elite organizations in the NFL but in all of sports.

 

 

BTW...

 

The Baltimore legacy is a bit over-rated. Here are the records of the famed Baltimore Colts for the their last 15 years in Baltimore.

 

 

1983   NFL     Baltimore Colts          7          9         

 

1982   NFL     Baltimore Colts          0          8          1                     

 

1981   NFL     Baltimore Colts          2          14      

 

1980   NFL     Baltimore Colts          7          9         

 

1979   NFL     Baltimore Colts          5          11      

 

1978   NFL     Baltimore Colts          5          11      

 

 

1977   NFL     Baltimore Colts*        10       4         

 

1976   NFL     Baltimore Colts*        11       3                     

 

1975   NFL     Baltimore Colts*        10       4         

 

1974   NFL     Baltimore Colts          2          12      

 

1973   NFL     Baltimore Colts          4          10      

 

1972   NFL     Baltimore Colts          5          9         

 

1971   NFL     Baltimore Colts*        10       4         

 

1970   NFL     Baltimore Colts*        11       2     1    

 

1969   NFL     Baltimore Colts          8          5                     

 

 

 

The 1981 and 1982 Colts are regarded among the worst teams in NFL history. Only the strike saved the 1982 Colts from a likely 0-16 record. This team had such a bad reputation John Elway refused to play for them in 1983. 

 

You can't live in the past.

 

I love revisionist history.
