| I remember reading how Peterson's play in the NE game with a broken hand was indicative of why the colts let him go. That was the example...the guy missed a tackle with a cast on his hand. It does seem that MP is the dart board for cheap shots from colt fan. It is smack...fair enough. It just needs reminding from time to time that MP was a cap casualty due to the philosophy of offense first. It took a while for the colts to actually get a LB that was at a MP level. MP bitter...I seriously doubt it. MP angry...I seriously doubt it.

Mike Pete is a good LB & we Colts fans loved him when he was here. But we "smack" him because he DOES show signs of being bitter with some of his comments to the media every time twink week comes along. MP might have gotten over it lately, as evidenced by the fact that he hasn't done near as much woofing to the media about the colts the past couple years, but he WAS bitter for a while, at least. I think it was due to the comment made by Bill Polian when he made the decision to not re-sing MP....something to the effect of, "Mike Peterson is a very good LB, but for (the amount of money he's demanding) we would need him to be great".
MP was not a cap casualty. And there is no "offense first" mentality with the Colts. One reason that the Colts are good year in & year out is due largely to the fact that they have developed a discipline to let good players who are commanding more money than they are REALLY worth (Mike Pete, Cato June, Nick Harper, Marcus Pollard) go, while locking up truly special players to lucrative, long term deals (Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Clark, Freeney, Sanders, Saturday)

He is still a hard nose football player, Probably always will be. He may have been bitter with the organization, I hope he wasn't bitter with the fans, The majority liked him, Just like the Jag fans do. Sam

Ahh.. old.. but every time I see it the video just gets better and better.
I see this...
This play went for a 93 yard touchdown, but Peyton just wanted better blocking... he's such a perfectionist.
But I remember the game in question. I was there. It was Rams at Colts, week 6, 2005 on MNF. Peyton threw 2 TD passes. One was 6 yards (to Reggie, to end an 86 yard drive) and one was 3 (to Marvin, to end a 38 yard drive). Edgerrin James had TD runs of 1, 8 and 1. Dominic Rhodes had a 1 yard TD run. When did the 93 yard TD happen? You can check the box score for yourself.
At the point of the exchange in the video, the Colts were trailing 17-0 at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. The Colts went on to win that game 45-28, only giving up a first half field goal, and a garbage time TD after the exchange. Perhaps the Jaguars should take note. That was the same Rams team that beat the Jaguars two weeks later, 24-21.
