To balance all this PDA with Colts fans

First, I want to say that the Colts fans who've posted here have been cool guys, and probably some of the classiest visitors all year. Right on! However, screw the Colts. I hate that team with a passion only rivaled with the Chargers (right now). The team has owned us for far too long, and almost everything about the franchise annoys me. Let me count the ways (briefly)
1) I loathe the goody two shoes garbage. The fans (and people like Manning and Dungy) are obnoxiously nice, and there is this I'm-Better-Than-You-Because-I'm-So-Nice arrogance that simply boils my blood. Kinda reminds me of the South Park episode with the annoyingly nice Mormons. This is football, and while I can't stand the way the Raiders and Raiders South fanbases do things, I almost hate the super nice guy crap worse. Seriously, stop it! Talk some smack like a real fan!
2) Their uniforms are hideous, outdated and childish. Any team sporting tired threads like theirs should be shipped off the the arena leagues (more on this later). Seriously, a horseshoe on the helmet? Still? And have you seen the horse mascot they have -- almost as bad as the Colorado Rockies' Dinger.
3) Peyton Manning is not clever. Not funny. He is annoying and was over exposed 10 years ago. And I HATE having to see his ugly face on every commercial during anything football related. I hate his brother too, but we beat him.
4) They play in Indianapolis. No offense to anyone from Indianapolis (my girlfriend is actually from around there), but that city sucks! It is boring and simply lame.
5) The fans are mostly bandwagoners. Sure, some have been loyal, but most people in Indiana didn't care about the team before Manning. Now, that isn't automatically bad, but something for me to hate them over. Even the Broncos had some bandwagoners in the late 90s, but Denver and Broncos nation has ALWAYS been there for the Broncos. We live and die for the Broncos. They only live for the Colts when things are swell.
6) They play in a dome. Any team that plays in a dome shouldn't be in the NFL! They should be in the arena league (whenever it opens back up) because real football teams play in the muck and don't play track meet!
7) They are the Baltimore Colts, and Elway hated them so I hate them.
8) And last but most importantly, they always kick our butt! Watching this annoying franchise beat the Broncos (especially as bad as they have) is like watching the most annoying guy in high school beat up your brother and you can't do anything about it because you only catch a glimpse of it as you're driving away on the bus ride home.
Arg! We shudda beat them this year!
Again, I hope it's obvious that I am not trying to be mean spirited or anything like that. But seriously, SCREW THE COLTS!!! Let's not forget that!
Go Broncos!

Because Montana has no professional sports, I gotta support the land of my birth.
Socrates was once executed for 'trolling'.
^Needs explaining: don't call someone asking uncomfortable, slightly antagonistic questions trolls. In all odds they probably just want to learn. It's real easy to differentiate a 'Socratic' post from a trolling one (unless you're a resident of WCG).
^Needs further explaining: I have yet to post anything on WCG, don't worry, I'm not trying to rationalize anything I've done. I've just lurked over there and man, they are the model of post-peloponnesian war Athens.
They are the Baltimore Colts, and Elway hated them so I hate them.
Can’t argue with that logic. Nice job, man.

Well
If they’ve been around for any amount of time (and many of them haven’t) they would know that other side. There is a reason they got Manning

++++1
It is no fun to hate Baltimore Indy because they are so Maybury Down Home kinda nice. At least the Oakland fans are obnoxious …… they know how to play the villian role properly!
Well, I always thought it meant Rec'd and when I say +1, I hit the Rec'd button immediately.
However, some people say +1 without recommending anything. So, it still means that someone agrees with a comment or post, but sometimes it is more of a verbal “atta boy”, than anything else.
In this case, the math adds up. There are two recs for the posts and two +1’s in the comment section.

The commenters at the Colts Blog always do +18 for Peyton. Or + whatever the player's number is
and is relevant to the discussion.
Would this give you another reason to hate us? If you need more. Because really eight isn’t enough. We prefer 18 reasons for most things. Or 19 if you’re going old school.

nah!
There are corny things Broncos fans do. Especially with 7. I think its a cool little fan sub culture thing.
How about this, though, I will add another number if you lose to San Diego and I have to tolerate the Raiders South either going to or (worse) winning the Super Bowl. You HAVE to beat them if it comes down to you and them (which I think it will in the AFC). Losing to them would be the most unforgivable trangression and would be second worse only to preventing us from going to and winning the Super Bowl.
~me
My point has always been, how can the NFL allow a team to have a dome?
There is only three in the league and that is a clear advantage as far as weather and elements. Sure their going to be a good team if they play half of their games in a house! Give me a break! Ant they talk about Mile Hile being such a great advantage, just ask Pittsburg how they feel about that. I have never understood how anyone [in their right mind, mind ya] could like a team like that? Cream-puffs. That’s it.
Actually..
….there are 8 domes in the league – Undee, Arizona, Detroit, New Orleans, Atlanta, Dallas, St. Louis and Minnesota. But the new one in Undee is the ugliest, hands down (from the outside).
Interesting though – I just noticed that only one of the 8 is in the AFC.

Should have remembered Houston
They had to mess with their schedule a year ago because of hurricane damage to the roof. And I admit that the “Drum” looks great on the inside, but the pics I’ve seen from the outside look squat and, well, squat. Big and impressive though.

Well, and San Diego
I know it isn’t a traditional dome, but 65-70 degrees year round essentially acts as a dome. Thus, ship those losers to an arena league too ;-)
~me
Domes are not an advantage
Domes teams have a historically bad record in the Superbowl, and in the playoffs. Games get tougher and dome teams are “soft” in general. I am so glad McD makes them practice outside!

Exactly
“Soft.” Thus, they don’t play football and should be gone. That said, the Broncos have had some soft teams lately, but that is more of a result of them sucking than where they play their home games.

Against a GROSSman-led team
I still think if the Bears had a pee-wee league starting quarterback that year they would’ve beat the Colts. That wasn’t exactly the most impressive Super Bowl performance ever.
~me
I think we all agreed that the Super Bowl was the AFC championship that year.
Our most impressive performance during that run was the game in Baltimore against that Baltimore defense.
All I said is we’ll try and improve on the dome Super Bowl record. We’re the only dome team to win the Super Bowl outside a dome. And we shall strive to do better. Hopefully, the NFC will try and send us a better opponent this time? Although four out of the five best teams in the NFC are dome teams, so it’s likely we’ll be facing another dome team.
Colts and Saints
Would be a helluva show (though I’d have to root for the Aints). And I agree that if Indy beat them it would cement them as a dominant team of this era. Right now they are red headed bastards to Pitts and NE. Honestly, I think Indy is under a lot of pressure — probably more than any team, and if I were an Indy fan I wouldn’t want the undefeated crap hanging over my head.
~me
"Soft"
That may be true. The only dome teams to win a SB are the Colts and the Rams. Plus Dallas a couple times, if you want to count the old Texas Stadium a dome.
We will now discuss in a little more detail the Struggle for Existence.

Texas stadium was not a dome

as an avatar would say that. Garbage. Won’t happen! Real football towns will ALWAYS play outdoor in the grass. Fluky trend teams where the fan bases won’t attend unless a) the team is winning and b) they play indoors so they don’t get their precious piggies cold. I’d rather see two leagues if we keep this dome (and half dome) trend up: A) the National Football League (played outdoors in the elements and 2) the Powder Puff League, featuring the indoor delights of the Indianapolis Colts and their ballerina all stars.
~me
Powder Puff League? hmm, ok if that is how you want to describe the team that has won against your team ………………..not really saying much about your team then, is it?
The Broncos have been VERY weak
the last few years, and we weren’t able to out finesse the Colts in all these recent matchups. We don’t have a Manning. That is one of the reasons I am glad to have McD and Shanny is gone. We got soft.
This year we’re still soft but getting much tougher. Mostly we’re inconsistent and finding an identity. After the Undees got 21 points they were lucky we didn’t capitalize! We should have won that game or at least had the lead in the 3rd quarter. Once we got tough Peyton looked like JaMarcus the Hutt. Did you watch that game? Do you really want to play us again after we figured you out? Are you seriously THAT stoked on your team and their victory? If I were you I would worry.
This ain’t the Broncos’ year, and I am okay with that. But it ain’t the Colts’ either. The best you can hope for (I think) is to get worked in the Super Bowl by one of the all-time best finesse teams: The Saints.
~me
Ok you brought it up so yes I would like to see them play each other again.
After the Colts got 21 on you they played the cover 2 the way they always play it, keep all plays in front of them and NO long plays.
Do you really think your man BM 21 catches bothered the Colts, how many points did he score on all those catches, O, check his ypc on those he averaged less than 10 ypc, thirteen was for less than 10 yards and seven were for five yards or less.
As for your childish bait about if the Colts get to play the Saints, that is yet to be seen.
Look at the stats
It wasn’t just Brandon Marshall. The Colts won because we melted down on 3rd down and in the Redzone, which is common with a team learning a new system and forming a new identity. Again, this isn’t Denver’s year. But look at the stats. Other than the scoreboard (which , granted, is most important) the only place the Colts beat us was in rezone (Undee 4 for 4, Denver 2 for 4).
As much as the Colts have tormented us, I would love that game in the playoffs and think that redemption would be SUPER sweat. If we lose it would be expected. Bummer. Thus, we have NOTHING to lose in that matchup. We can play out of our minds and with a thirst for revenge. Do you really want that? I know you have nothing to fear because Denver hasn’t rarely even competed with the Colts, and you’re bathing in your own arrogant overconfidence, but as you saw Sunday this is a different Denver team.
Finally, I think you’re letting your fandom and media hype blind you to how great you think this team is. Aside from NE (maybe Denver) who have the Colts beat. Your division played the NFC West this year and because you didn’t win the division last year you’ve had no division winners. NE was stupid and should’ve beat the Colts. So should Houston and Denver. Now, good teams find a way, and the 98 Broncos had to play some weak teams tough. But I would worry if I were you. Remember the last time a Colts team went 13-0. Where were they when the Super Bowl was played? The same place we were: on the couch watching!
~me
in 2005, the then 13-0 Colts played their starters for the entire game against ( the Chargers, then quarterbacked by Drew Brees. The Colts had locked up homefield the week before, and were playing the game despite it meaning “nothing” in the standings. Again, with the starters playing, the Colts lost 26-17. The next week, Tony Dungy’s son hanged himself in his apartment, creating a horrible (but understandable) distraction for the team and then-coach. The Colts then lost in the division round to the eventual world champion Steelers.
I think you’re letting your fandom and media hype blind you to how great you think this team is. Aside from NE (maybe Denver) who have the Colts beat

Good enough for Elway, Good enough for me, man!
"But I hate the way our identity has changed..Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth." --Brian Urlacher
I envy the Colts because they are better than we are right now
But in terms of tradition and success, I do not. And remember, the BALTIMORE Colts had a tradition; the Indianapolis Colts have the last 10 years, a half empty stadium until recently and a nice tradition of losing to tougher teams (N.E., Pitts) when they had/have the best quarterback of this generation.
After you win two super bowls and boast some of the other accomplishments the Broncos have, then let’s rap on this topic. Until then enjoy this year when there are no tough teams to challenge you because this may be one of your last opportunities. And as much as it pains me to say, the Raiders South will probably beat you again in the playoffs — and I don’t say that to talk smack because TRUST ME I don’t want that to happen. But this years Colts aren’t as impressive as you think.

For letting the hype machine cloud your judgement. They want to sell magazines, and they’re invested in Manning because they bring $$$
And for not addressing the core of my logic. ;-)

They may very well beat us, who knows till they play, and for someone who is trying very hard to convince someone that you’re not trying to talk smack, it’s failing.
I am talking smack ;-)
Just not with what you quote! Or, rather, with the point about Raiders South beating you. I don’t only say that to smack it up. Colts not being impressive? That’s a bit smackish!
~me
Honestly, when you keep on doing what you've done for seven straight years, it's not very impressive.
I understand. We will have to win the Super Bowl in an exciting fashion to impress the league. We accept this challenge.
/Goody-two-shoes-Colts-fan-answer
I am not sure impressive
is the word I would use, but when a team like Indy is hyped soooooo much every year. And every year they are the Super Bowl team. And every year they are the best team. And most often than not they flame out, it does get old and people doubt that they are the dominant team the hype machine media make them out to be. That ain’t the Colts fans fault or even the Colts themselves — but when you have to constantly have to hear about a team that hasn’t accomplished what the hype would suggest, it gets annoying. And no team is more guilty of this than the Raiders South; they’ve NEVER accomplished anything yet we always have to hear about how great they are.
But look at it this way: this is only because the Colts are compared against the Patriots and Steelers. That’s not a bad place to be and I would LOVE Denver to be in that discussion.

This is what I was talking about when you kept saying you weren’t trying to talk trash or smack, which ever you want to label it.
Oh that was smack!
And I hope so (referring to road comment).
And I hope that we can beat up on you guys the same way NE beat up on you and the same way you have beat up on us over the last 10 years. ;-)
~me
Yes
I hate it that there are Domed stadiums. When the Vikings moved inside, it was the downfall of the league. It was real touch to play them at home in November and December and the NFL took away that homefield advantage. Football is supposed to be played in the rain and snow and mud. I mean C’mon, you don’t see a dome in Green Bay.
Here is another reason for your list vince. The Super Bowl will be played in INDY next year.
