Big game for the Colts tomorrow at Houston. I was looking at just Indianapolis Colts history when they 1st moved to Indiana and it has been as a whole a Very Good franchise, borderline Great because of the SB win in 2006.
35 seasons (1984-2018)18 Playoff appearances, 18 in 35 seasons = over 50%
5 AFC Title Game appearances (1995, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014)
2 SB appearances (2006, 2009)
1 SB Championship (2006)
-Making the Playoffs in Football is much harder than it is in Basketball. Only 6 teams get in per Conference out of 16 so just making the Playoffs is a Good accomplishment. You only have 16 games to right the ship as well, not 82. Indianapolis Colts have made it 18 times in 35 seasons = Good.
Look at some of the players the Indianapolis Colts have had:QB's = Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck
RB's = Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Edge James
WR's = Marv Harrison, Reggie Wayne, TY Hilton
Defensive players = Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis. Now they have a Rookie that is Ray Lewis like in Darius Leonard. The Colts also now have an OG in Quenton Nelson that plays like Larry Allen, he is mean and nasty. Luck finally has protection! Our GM is fantastic in Ballard and that is where it starts. He nailed the 2018 Draft and hired the perfect Coach in Frank Reich.
-Am I ready for Playoff Football, hell yes I am baby!
Go Colts!!
