Ah so you are a bandwagon fan, that pretty much explains everything...
But yeah I agree, they dont really try to win. They just did it more often from 2001-20010 than any other team did in any other decade ever in NFL history.
There is no denying that they have had too many one and done seasons in the playoffs, however its the AFC and they have run into some damn good teams.
2003 - Lost to Patriots in AFC Championship - Pats won Super Bowl
2004 - Lost to Patriots in divisional round - Pats won Super Bowl
2005 - Lost to Steelers in divisional round - Steelers won Super Bowl
2006 - Won championship
2007 - Los to Chargers in divisional round - Bad loss
2008 - Lost to Chargers in Wildcard round - Bad loss in OT
2009 - Superbowl Loss
So in the 7 year span when the Colts were their best, they lost to the eventual SB Champ 4 times, they won once, and had bad loses twice. Thats not exactly horrible.
2005 was disappointing to say the least, but Pitt beat the #1, #2, and #3 teams on they want to beating the #1 seeded Seahawks. The Steelers just got hot at the right time. Indy had its chances to win that game but a good tackle by Roethlisburger and a missed FG cost them.
As far as being a bandwagon fan, I don't think I've ever given enough of a hoot about a team to be considered a fan of any kind. I think sports are great if kept in proper perspective. Our government could abolish the entire bill of rights and it would draw less outrage than a 2011 NFL lockout.
2005 steelers game? You mean the one where the refs couldn't even win for them? We see how well their model of forfeiting the few games of each season works out for them.

Maybe with the general public, but I would wager that the majority of INGO Members would have a different response...
I don't know about that. People seem to take these colts threads more personal than political threads.

As I said in the other thread, Reggie should get a Grammy for the acting job on that pick. There is no way that grab spun him. Should it have been called? Probably but the ref probably let it slide due to the dive Wayne took.
Real Colts fans would make $10,000 or more donations for the new stadium every year.
