The Play That Changed The Indianapolis Colts Franchise Forever 

Totally forgot about this one! It's crazy to run down memory lane. I think Colts fans wouldn't be as salty towards Andrew Luck had we found early success finding a replacement QB. The fact that we had to suffer through so many new faces felt like "insult to injury". Andrew Luck was like a supernova that burned quickly in the night sky, but I enjoyed watching every minute of it.

Luck may have been the smartest QB ever. He retired before the Colts got him killed. I'm still a colts fan but I hope they never treat another player as bad as they treated Luck.

I remember this like yesterday. I really thought Luck was our new “Manning” Hopefully AR learns and has a better year in 2024

This is literally the perfect recap video to get me back up to speed, after not following NFL for 8 years or so. Luck was basically our Peyton Manning 2.0 in the making. I'm sooooo looking forward to Anthony Richardson next season

This is a really great breakdown and very insightful. Andrew was my favorite player and I miss him but wish him and his family all the best.

Crazy how it almost feels like a full circle moment that even Anthony Richardson’s rookie season ended against the titans due to a shoulder injury

I remember watching this live and noticing the wince. I didn't think much of it then, but when he missed the 2017 season, I remembered the wince. For the life of me I couldn't remember which game it was until now. Really good video.

Got my popcorn 🍿. Great job.

My guy forever Luck

Great story, great production.

As a Texans fan, I was honestly sad when Luck retired, dude was a class act and just fun to watch, but man did Irsay mess up. Literally no O-line the entire time he was there, and then when he retires I remember the Colts stadium booing….

Good production. I subscribed. #9 Keep it up

Honestly I thought the play would be the lacerated kidney vs the broncos but I think you might be right this might be the one that started it all. Dude was an absolute warrior and played through so much. But in the end Luck might have been too damn tough for his own good.

Wht a video, love a good football story. Completely forgot how many out of prime qbs the colts signed

Andrew luck will be missed by this Colts Fan.

I'm a Texans fan, but I always liked Luck. He seemed like a good dude, and him being from Houston made it was easy.

When it comes to injuries in the NFL which happen to everybody that plays, there are two kinds of players, particularly in the skill positions: Those who figure out how to protect themselves better and those who don't . If they don't learn they won't last no matter how good they are at the game. Andrew was one of the smartest and most talented to play the game, but I'm not sure he ever played smart enough to protect himself better.

Underrated

Great first video do you have other channels

Luck could throw the best dime ball ever. He wasn’t as accurate as Rivers but he had great anticipatory throws. Rivers was probably the best at that. Him and Luck

I still do not fault AL for retiring the way he did. coming back from any injury will take a toll on you physically and mentally. It's also why AR is being wise along with the Colts front office because they don't want to repeat what happened with AL. AL will go down as the biggest "What if" but i think it's safe to say that AL did himself a good service retiring. Colts defiantly took AL for granted and suffered for it.

Colts fan !

I clicked this thinking it would be 2012 in Detroit, when the Colts were losing…until the Lions failed to convert a 3rd down to allow them to run out the clock. The Colts got the ball back, and from their own end of the field, Luck engineered a TD drive in the final moments to win. I was there.

This vid scares me after AR injured his shoulder😭

I remember this game because I traded away Luck in fantasy before this game

Luck was the perfect example of what having a bad GM, mediocre coach, overbearing owner, and just enough roster talent from the previous administration can do to destroy a career.

When Dallas' Jackie Smith dropped the potential game winning pass in the Superbowl against the Steelers.

The real play that changed the colts was the redskin defense trying to rip Peyton mannings head off, causing his neck injury that led to the 2011 terrible season and getting luck while sending msnning off to retire elsewhere.

No man, the onside kick in Super Bowl 44 changed the franchise forever. Luck was just delaying the inevitable.

Taking SecretBases 'rewind' thumbnail?

It's sad that he pretty much gave up on that play and prepared himself for the take down and 3 opponents still took him down in a way I think was unnecessary. I think secretly there is too much desire to take out the competition in many NFL defenses. Some play with great respect for the opponent, but a lot of them don't and some end up getting hurt unnecessarily! I've seen on many occasions when a defense is getting their ass handed to them the tackling starts getting a bit ridiculous and the poor sportsmanship you see will never go away! The QB before Luck had something happened to him years ago against Washington that I thought was equally disgusting, but we can blame that POS Greg Williams for that!

Those guys twisted Luck up and fell on him like he was a golf tee Hard luck for the Colts to have a brainiac QB, Luck knew what was up that good health gives money value so he cashed out took the money and ran. Ran while he was still functionally able to -- Brilliant!!

LOL that hit didn't change our history. Trading Peyton Manning did!

a little hyperbolic to imply that the andre johnson and frank gore signings were splash signings. they were pretty cheap and washed by 2015.

Wait. This sounds like Josh from the common colt podcast!

We never took care of Luck who did nothing but tear his body down physically and mentally I feel horrible as a fan legit fan no bandwagon here lol but he did things Manning couldn't and we as a team didn't get better O.line help we brought in late hall of famer Gore then Andrea exc. an no O.line 😢 so sorry Andrew I am so happy u found your happy side again an love of the game go Colt's

I don’t like to think about it

Ppl seem to forget how badly defenses wanted to kill that man.

The play that ended the colts was when irsay pushed Peyton out the back door luck was vastly overrated and im a colt fan dude was a turnover waiting to happen

Mike vanderjagt missed fg against Steelers 2005

Is this the dude from the common colts podcast? Lol

The Colts should have kept Manning and traded the Luck pick. They could have put together the best defense ever and won like Denver.

That hit against the broncos was unnecessary

“Still impacting forever”😂 please take a writing class. Also, we all know this. The Athletic reported it long ago.

Now they missed the playoffs.😂

why are talking crap about the colts?? your still bring up stuff about Andrew luck? do you have any footage of Andrew luck cursing out the offensive line, his receivers, No because he was soft- that's why he go booed, I am going to watch the Colts game, and enjoy every second of it- this is extremely old news? the play that impacted the Colts forever 95 playoff game -the NFL wanted us to lose=

Back when stupid puppett grigson ran the team. Ballard has his moments but he is much better than grigson. Ryan grigson is the reason why luck was wasted. Bengals are doing exactly the same thing with burrow right now

Steichen is the right coach. Richardson is not the right QB
