Indianapolis Colts Cheating History

[Rhodey]

No, it's not just the SuckForLuckGate (2011)! However, here is a great Indianapolis sports reporter Gregg Doyel quote:

"This was the Indianapolis Colts rigging the entire 2011 season. What punishment, in the scope of sports, would be too severe for such a thing?"

http://yourteamcheats.com/IND#Noisegate-2005

Article perspective on SuckForLuckGate:

"Yes, their starting quarterback was injured in 2011, but the Patriots lost quarterback Tom Brady in the first quarter of the first game of the 2008 season and still went 11-5 with backup Matt Cassel thrown into the driver's seat. Were the Colts that much more reliant on Peyton Manning than the Patriots were on Tom Brady or did the Colts subtly tank the one season in the past 13 where one of the best quarterback of the generation was available?"

And we have PEDSgate (5x since 2012)

And, of course, we have NoiseGate, but that one has been going on for (and through the) years. So, it's listed a few times; affected the whole league; many teams complained and pointed it out.

As I have pointed out- like many others -in several threads is that the Colts point the finger at others to keep the focus off of what they are doing.

May be in the minority here but, I think the tank job was overrated. I mean they didn't have to use Kerry Collins or Orlovsky they could have gone with Painter all along. Think that had more to do with Polian building a very top heavy team. I was backing the Celtics tank pretty hard two years ago so would be pretty hypocritical of me to complain. The real crime is changing the illegal contact emphasis twice (2004 after losing to Patriots and 2014 after losing to Seahawks).

The Colts did not lose to the Seahawks in 2014, that was the Denver Broncos.

Not to mention moving the team from Baltimore in the middle of the night, which to my mind is unforgivable.

Oh whoops that was just Peyton.

The 2010 Colts were a 10-6 team, and they barely scraped by with that. The 2007 Patriots were a 16-0 team.

For some reason the Colts fans don't like to use the comparison that when Manning took over the 3-13 Colts he managed to get them to.....

3-13.

When Brady took over the 5-11 Patriots he got the to 11-5, and won a SB.

Saw this today...
Top Ten 3-game performances of all time: http://bit.ly/1QtGSmI
#1 Brady 1,327 yds and 11 TB
Romo didn't make the list..

Appropriate reference to Jared, since he's also going to take a pounding.

I have heard rumors that Peyton is guilty of cheating many times while in Indy.

Brady actually got the pats to a 11-3 record , Bledsoe was responsible for the 0-2 start

the problem is you cant steal another cities team one year and "suckforluck" and tank another season then claim some moral high ground down the road.

To Indianapolis to boot ... Yuck!

Holy s###. That should be gold, Jerry, pure gold...

 

[DarrylS]

Too bad Minihane is such a butthole, as I might have listened.. not worth all of the negative energy and innuendo that emanates from that "morning drive show"...

Could never tolerate D & C and Minihane makes it exponentially worse.. their ratings show it.

Why would Doyle even enter the D&C abattoir?? Masochism??
