Why do you hate the Colts? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

HarkDawg · 11-11-2009, 07:46 PM

I hate the Colts because they are jealous of the Patriot Dynasty.

I hate the Colts b/c even w/ all the WR weapons of the past..... they could never get it done more than once and their fan base thinks their team is comparable to the Patriot Dynasty,

-What a joke....

I hate Bill Polian, and I really disliked Tony Dungy, but I don't hate the Colts. I always root against them, but out of rivalry more than hatred.

I've yet to find a (online) fanbase that doesn't suck, so it's tough to hold that one against the Colts.

A season just doesn't seem complete with a Patriots-Colts game somewhere in the playoffs.

Hate is reserved for the AFCE teams, plus Baltimore and San Diego.

Peyton can do no wrong, etc..

No hate here. I love 'em. Best team eva.

As a noob, I'm impressed with everyone's level of respect for the Colts. We should send this thread to Colts board for their reactions. I wonder where Pats rank on the Colts fan's most hated rival list.

1. Jesus Dungy. 2. Polian. 3. They wear the white hats and the Patriots are clothed in black from head to toe. 4. They whine more than any other organization. 5. They've pumped in heat and crowd noise and are rarely questioned about it. 6. Despite being a truly great QB, Peyton (Goober) looks like a goat, as does brother Eli (Gomer). However, that doesn't make him, or Eli, a bad person. Just an ugly one...

Obviously we are rivals and I "hate" them as one of our biggest foes. But I respect the heck out of what they have accomplished, particularly over the past few years.

There are really only a few reasons why I "hate" the Colts:

1. Bill (Na)Polian. He's irritating as heck, especially the way he pulls the strings on the rules committee and how the Colts seem to get the calls at home. But of course, he's successful on his own terms, and other people find BB irritating as heck for being successful and doing things on his own terms too.

2. Colts fans. They bug the heck out of me. But so do Jets and Steelers fans.

3. Manning. He used to irritate me a lot because of his whining and always pointing the finger at others when things went wrong. But he has really stepped up as a leader and elevated his game whatever the issues. It's hard to do anything but respect him right now, as clearly someone in the GOAT discussion.

4. National bias. The thing that bugs me the most is the national impression (fostered by ESPN and others) that the Pats are "cheaters" and are the "bad guys" whereas the Colts are squeeky clean lily white All American heroes. It drives me nuts.

But again, my hate for the Colts has largely turned to grudging respect. I hate the Steelers much more right now. In 2005 I was thrilled when the wild card Steelers upset the Colts. Now it would be the other way around. If we don't win it all this year I'd much rather see the Colts win #2 this decade than the Steelers win SB #3 (though I'd prefer an upstart like NO, Minny or Cincinnati). Not that I really want to think about those alternatives.

Good Post, I find it funny that Pats fans think ESPN loves the Colts and Colts fans think ESPN loves the Pats.

How about we all just get together and say ESPN sucks

oh and to be on topic I don't hate the Colts.

farn · 11-11-2009, 08:12 PM

I enjoy the fact that they are good. Peyton is the opponent I have feared / do still fear the most.

I don't like Polian, though I admit he is an excellent talent evaluator.

I don't like the way Manning seems to throw teammates under the bus, but I admit he is a great QB.

I don't like their defense - it is the reason Peyton only has 1 ring. Supposedly they are very good this year - though "On paper" they seem lacking (admit - paper doesn't play on Sundays).

Question : How did the Colts only score so few points vs a crappy defense like Houston ? Didn't see the game (obv).

For one, the only team I really hate is the Jets, followed closely by the Colts and Broncos.

Not only are and have the Colts been the Patriots toughest competition, but most of the disdain comes from having to listen to their legion of inbred, corn-shucking, and mostly illiterate fans.
