Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos (Week 4, 2007) 

Peyton Manning 2004-2009 According to Colts owner Jim Irsay, former Colts general manager Bill Polian was "at wit's end" as he tried to sign Manning to a new contract, when the subject of trading Manning was brought up. Polian said, “We need to trade Peyton; we can get a bunch of defensive players and become like Tampa Bay or Baltimore.” Irsay said no. “Understand something, Bill, we are not trading Peyton Manning, period,’’ Irsay recalled telling the former team president. The Colts eventually signed Manning to a $99.2 million contract with $34.5 million guaranteed. But Polian wasn’t totally insane to suggest dealing Manning. Through 6 seasons he’d had 3 All-Pro Campaigns (1999, 2000, 2003) & 3 inconsistent/turnover plagued campaigns (1998, 2001, 2002). His 1st MVP had come on a contract year when he was playing on the franchise tag. Many inconsistent players have had big years in contract seasons, only to come crashing down to earth once they get the contract. Irsay was taking a bit of a risk by believing in Peyton; especially given how badly his last two playoff seasons had ended (41-0 vs Jets, 4 INTs in the Title Game vs New England) In the 6 seasons after he signed the contract, Peyton Manning only had one stretch of time in which he played through injury. Manning had surgery to remove an infected bursa sac in his left knee prior to the start of the 2008 season. Manning, who wore a knee brace due to problems since he was in college, sat out all four preseason games and missed most of training camp. He was only able to practice 2 days a week for the 1st 7 weeks & the Colts started the 2008 season at 3-4. In all of his other starts over those 6 seasons: 72-10 W-L Record (87.8% winning %) 1,882 completions 2,805 attempts (67.1% completion rate) 22,887 yards (4,591 yards per season) 287.0 YPG 8.2 YPA 188 TD Passes (37-38 TD passes per season) 2.36 TD Passes per Game 6.7% TD% 62 INTs (12 INTs per season) 0.75 INTs per Game 2.2% INT% 105.1 Passer Rating 22-9 W-L Record on Game-Winning Drives (71.0% winning %) 16-6 W-L Record on 4th Qtr. Comebacks (72.7% winning %) There’s a reason Bill Bellichick went for it on 4th & 2.

The Colts were the best team in the league from 2005 - 2007. Should have been in the Super Bowl for each one of those seasons.

Love seeing these games! Peyton and Dallas and Marvin..those were the days

@1:02:00 The interception and then the helmet throw by Marshall was pure GOLD!!

20:08 the play that led to Marvin’s decline and retirement after the next season 😞

love all of your videos. And we need more 2007 games. Like the one against baltimore or 2007 week 1 where colts hanging their banners

the 3.0 is a superior engine for a truck. Especially off road, torque is instant, economy is excellent, the 6.2 is fine but it's a modded car engine it sounds nice.

Thank you for the game. Do you have 2007 Week 10 Colts vs Chargers SNF and if so do you think you might post it sometime?

For next week against the Jags, do you have 2002 Week 17?

NFL player respond please--- how genuinely bruised and banged up the player when he gets home after a game???

Hate seeing Stokley playing for the opposition.

Is this the game Brandon Marshall catches 20 passes?
