During the Peyton Manning era, the Colts experienced a lot of great games. We watched one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time raise the level of play around him and pummel the AFC as a whole. From 1999 to 2010 the Colts had just one season where they won fewer than 10 games. They dominated the AFC South and had 11 playoff appearances in that time.
However, over the first eight years of Manning’s career they had not been able to put together a team that could get to the Super Bowl.
