2010 Manning leads Colts to FG to take the lead vs Jets with UNDER 1 MIN left. Colts special teams immediately let the Jets run the kickoff back to the 50, and then the D easily folds and the Jets win with a last second short field goal.
2008 Manning and the Colts face the greatest punting performance in history from the Chargers on the road... the game goes to OT and the Colts offense doesn't get to see the field as the defense isn't built to get a stop when needed (which is what you need to win in playoffs)
2007 Manning has a great offensive game... the defense, however... let's the Chargers backup QB drive for TD on them. hahaha! also, Marvin Harrison huge fumble and Kenton Keith (who?) fumbles on the goaline.
2005 Going for a nice comeback and getting the game to OT @ home, Vanderjerk shanks the worst un-clutch field goal attempt in NFL history. (looks like he did it on purpose)
2000, game is in OT vs Dolphins. Manning drives the Colts to medium field goal range to win the game and Vanderjerk misses the kick. Dolphins go on to win.
Manning has had the worst luck of any QB in the playoffs in history, hardly ever had a playoff worthy type of defense throughout his career besides a couple years here and there and had a choking kicker on his team through 2005.
Last year... when the Broncos were up 7 real late and looking GOOD... as a Colts fan, I was sitting there thinking, what's going to happen to Manning in this situation? How will this game get to OT which screws over Manning's performance.
As the miracle bomb was completed... I wasn't in shock, I was LAUGHING MY ASS OFF! Glad to have Luck as QB now and not the most unlucky QB in history.
