Quote:I doubt Hilton would be doing much with Henne/Gabbert.

 

Atleast we didn't trade our first round pick for a guy with less talent than most team's backup RB's :woot:

 

Um.... could we have some perspective here?

 

Colts record the last 10 years

 

2013 6-3-First place in the AFC South by 2 games. Playoff bound for the second straight year with a young, dominate franchise QB. Victories over Denver, Seattle and SF.

 

2012 11-5- Playoffs

 

2011 2-14- One of only 2 losing seasons the Colts have had in the last 15 years .

 

2010 10-6 Playoffs

 

2009 14-2 Super Bowl

 

2008 12-4 Playoffs

 

2007 13-3 Playoffs

 

2006 12-4 Super Bowl Champions

 

2005 14-2 Playoffs

 

2004 12-4 Playoffs

 

2003 12-4 Playoffs

 

The Colts won 12 or more games for a record 7 consecutive seasons. No team in NFL history including the Packers of the 60s, Steelers of the 70s, 49ers of the 80s, Cowboys of the 90s, and Patriots of the 00s can match that record.  

 

No team has won the AFC south more often than the Colts.

 

The Colts have been a playoff team an amazing 13 times in the last 15 years. A feat unmatched by any team in the NFL.

 

 

After one down season in 2011, the Colts rebounded to 11-5 and a playoff birth. This year they will likely win the AFC South division and host a playoff game despite losing half of their staring offense to IR including a future Hall of Famer, and playing a schedule that through the first 9 games ranks as one of the toughest in the league.  How's that for a new regime buliding a quality roster from the bottom up?

 

 

Do the Colts make mistakes? Yes. Every team does. But this team from Dungy, to Caldwell, to Arians to Pagano gets a lot right. From Polian to Griggs, our GM, the owner and team structure has been vastly superior to anything in the history of the Jaguars or most teams in the NFL.  The Jaguars would kill for 25% of the success the Colts have. The Colts get a lot right. Lets not forget that.

 

 

The Colts are one of the most dominate NFL franchises this league has to offer. It has been that way for 15 years. Despite this, the Colts field a young roster and are in prime position  to dominate for many years to come! It's really amazing! They are one of the most successful franchises in all of sports.

 

 

 

 

Perspective, people. Perspective. :thumbsup:
