Re: For those 'elder members' here the Stupor Bowl of 1981 shows alot has changed sin
"hard to imagine two division rivals in the NFL having a more ignominious history between 1981 and 2000."
I didn't think our wild card victories over Miami the Raiders and the Jets on the way to the Super Bowl were ignominious.
The Colts had a few winning seasons, but generally sucked.
I really enjoyed our teams in the 1980's. We had some really good teams in the late 90's too, including another Super Bowl appearance.
Actually, it's hard to imagine the 2001 team being over .500 without the core players of the '97 team.
I imagine a lot of teams would consider two Bowl appearances in two decades to be an improvement, rather than a disgrace.
