I really miss this Colts era. They were so fun to watch. Easily one of the best offenses of all time!

Everytime I watch something like a Bob Sanders or Mathis highlight video I enjoy looking at the scoreboard. SO often it is something like:
IND 28 HOU 0
or
IND 44 BAL 7
good times
Looking back and looking at today, it makes me miss Bill Polian and a steady, great front office…
I just bought 5 PSA graded cards to display in my new office, Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark. I’m super excited for them to come in the mail so I can get them displayed as a tribute to the best time ever as a Colts fan.
Add Dallas Clark, Reggie, stokley. Was a lot of fun to watch.
That no huddle offense was like watching a master artist “Paintin” so fluid, so easy. It was nothing for us to get a score in under 2 minutes.
Dude. Of course
One minor correction, it was *the* best offense of all time.
The gap between the 2004 Colts and the next best offense that year is much wider than any other offense in history. By raw numbers, some teams beat them (07 Patriots, 12 Broncos, etc.) but only during much bigger offensive years following rule changes.
By EPA (expected points added) which simply measures how much better a player is than other players at their position that year, 2004 Manning had the biggest EPA gap ever. That **was** the best offensive season in the history of football.
This was the team that I grew up on. Remember how major the Colts and Pats games were back then? I remember when they met in 07 and were both undefeated half way through the season. They were selling shirts for that game, wish I still had mine. Kind of sad that sports will never feel like that again for me.
Can anyone provide some context as to where this was taken? The writing in the back looks like it’s in Japanese.
