Johnny U was my hero, like most boys in the 50s and 60s. We all wore Johnny U flat top hair cuts.. The stadium sold out every week, and at one time was called the worlds largest outdoor insane asylum. And then Bob Irsay traded the LA Rams for the Colts with Rosenberger.....Bob's next 10 years really did drive the fan base insane, despite a short few years in the mid 70's of winning. It's good to know little Jimmy is continuing his fathers established tradition of driving the fan base crazy.
The buttfumble happened because the clear starter lost his freakin' mind and ran up his lineman's ass.
The blown punt fake happened because a guy who wasn't supposed to have to be in on a play was forced into service.
Buttfumble is much worse (and much more fun to watch).

The fake punt was a formation designed by the coaching staff that had no chance to do anything other than end in embarrassment. Even if they don't snap the ball, it is absurd beyond belief.
Buttfumble was no different than a thousand other fumbles other than the juvenile aspect of the contact being someone's rear end.
I still can't fully comprehend the stupidity of this play. It is easily the most humiliating thing to ever happen in an NFL game. How could anything else even compete?

Irsay isn't even in the same league (metaphorically) as Jerry Jones and Jerry Jones is about 15-20 years past his expiration date for usefulness.
The fake punt wasn't designed to be snapped. It wasn't supposed to be run. It was only run because of the injury. The irony of the Colts getting confused because of a play designed to confuse opponents is delicious but, again, it only went down that way because of an injury substitution.
Maybe old Al Davis, but the younger version was certainly better than Irsay could ever be.I think "metaphorically" Irsay is in the same league as Al Davis..
Luck is good enough to get wins, but even if you load up the offense, he'll still make some mental errors. Thus, they'll need to make sure they have a good defense as well. That's where Irsay and his team will fail. They are almost single-minded in their want to have fantasy-football-like team rather than a well balance team that self-diagnoses their weaknesses and mitigates them rather than focusing on making their strengths stronger in the hopes they will overcome opponents.II keep hearing about how Luck is a "franchise quarterback", maybe so, but that will never be evidenced in the Colts organization..

I was no colts fan but i always hated irsey for moving the colts to indy and still do, it just wasn't right. I wish them only the worst.
In the end he is a professional troll, with limitied writing skills that has a voice (job) for reasons I'll never figure out, and is a walking turd.

The theory was:I agree, they've said they didn't intend to snap it. What was it designed to do? There's absolutely nothing that could come out of that formation that would benefit the Colts. Two guys alone over the ball, while the rest of the team is in punt formation by the sideline? They just look silly. The Pats aren't even going to burn a timeout when there's nothing threatening that can come from them snapping the ball.
