.This part of Indiana is going insane. One would think the Colts had won. We do love Peyton !
The Colts should of had more faith in the ‘Old Man’!
We still love Peyton even though he left the Colts.
Peyton is the reason that Colts Fans in general are some of the "football" smartest fan base in the NFL. All those years of trying to keep up with what the hell was going on in an offense forced football fans to learn a bit more about offenses and defenses.
I know all stadiums now get much quieter when the home team is on offense. But back when the Colts played in the RCA Dome, I will never forget the head splitting noise of the fans in that (now tiny) stadium when on defense and the creepy silence when they went on offense. People on cell phones where hushed by neighboring fans and people whispered. It was the worlds larges library on offense. And you could hear Peyton calling audibls and the cadence throughout the whole stadium. He started that.
I am honored that one of the greats played for us and I saw him in his prime. It hit me what a big deal that was for him watching him in his first season in Denver when he would frantically try to hush is home team crowd. I think the fans thought it was part of his had signals. But Colts fans knew what that meant. "Shut up! I'm trying to work here!"
I do hope he retires. Great player and a great man. All class and character.
