The Best Comeback Ever - Nubblies.net Forums

Pliedes · 10-07-2003, 04:11 PM

If any of you didn't get a chance to see this game, it was the best comeback ever in the NFL history.

The Colts were trailing the defending Super Bowl champs 35-14 with 4 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. No team in NFL history has ever come back from such a deficit. Well, needless to say, the Colts did it, and won off a Vanderjagt field goal in OT.

I didn't watch much of this game, but I flipped to it in time to watch the last four minutes, twas amazing.

Also, this puts the Colts at 5-0. Maybe this will be our year. Probably not though.

i was watchin the game cuase i had nothing better to do and for the first 3 quarters of the game it was total shit. the colts were playing like the bad news bears. they were horrible so i decided to go to bed at the end of the 3rd quarter. i got up this morning went to practice and class then grabbed the indy star and saw it said "Historic Victory" and i was like HOLY SHIT!!! how the hell did they win that, but i watched sportscenter for the next couple hours to get caught up on the news but from what i saw it was an awesome comeback.

We were at MadMushroom's getting pizza and on the tele was a score of 21 to 35, we were like "Meh". Then when we got back here the score was 34 to 35, we were like "Eh??" It was an astonishing comeback.

Then you add a little humour to that with the fact that Vanderjagt's lifetime percentage of successful kicks was 86% and yet his last two kicks of the game were shittier than a scatology professor.

That is awesome I too did not get to watch it but heard about it and that is totally kick ass!

Yeah, this was easily one of the most amazing games I've ever seen. The 15 yard penalty on Simone Rice towards the end of the game was pretty shady, but hey, the Colts won, and that makes me happy. I just wish it hadn't cost me two Spicy Chicken Sandwiches and a Bohemian Coke.

The two instances of people falling on each other resulting in penalties mad me laugh.

true it was a great game, however, Pliedes, it was not the greatest comeback in history from a historical standpoint. The Colts were just the first team to ever erase a 21 point deficit with four minutes left in the game.

So of four minute comebacks, it was the best ever. Thank you.

What the...oh, that kind of comeback. I did not see the "Sports" title that displayed which category this thread was in. I thought you meant a harsh comeback, like a joke. Damn...

Oh well, the game did kick ass. I know of many people that stayed up late to watch it's end. Well worth it.

I took time out of paying attention to my girlfriend to witness this... and my I say that I loved every minute of it. Well, execpt the first 56 minutes of regulation. So really I guess that I only liked the last couple minutes of it. Granted I wasn't paying much attention through 2nd-3rd quater. If you add it up I think I actually enjoyed about 7.4 minutes of the game. Why 7.4? Because I said so. Fuck you.

I had to hear about this from my roommate seeing as how I had a night full of rehearsals, but this made me absolutely ecstatic.

It's hard to believe that the Colts achieved this kind of feat. And the fact that they're 5-0. However, if they play like they played for the majority of the game, they can't always rely on a blitzkrieg every game. They need to get the gameplay going for more than 7.4 minutes.

And it's funny how Vanderjagt is one of the best kicker's in the league and yet in really tough sitcheations, he chokes. Or at least, in most of the times when I've been able to sit down and watch a game.

But at least he pulled through in the end. Go Colts!
