Great Colts of the Decade: Individual Performance

PrintWe are wrapping up the "Great Colts of the Decade" this week. Again, the focus here is from 2000-2009, and for this one it involves the greatest individual performance by a player in one game. The game itself could be a playoff game, or a game that helped the Colts reach the playoffs. The game could be a "coming out party" type of game or the type of clutch, money performance that makes the player and the team seem invincible.
Obviously, everyone is going to have their own favorite moment. Some might not be listed here. For the ones listed, I thought back to games where certain individuals did something that, for the Colts at that time, we fans had never seen before. Thus, the performance was made special.
Feel free to make suggestions and, if they meet our criteria, we'll update the poll. Enjoy voting.

Lions Massacre
I do believe that Manning got yanked early (like he did in 2-3 other games that year) in that T-giving game against the Lions and could have dropped another TD or two against their Fredo defense.

This could literally have 35-40 choices.
Man there have been so many.
I would like to add
Joseph Addai/Dom Rhodes tag teaming the 2006 playoffs. The signature ‘play’ of those playoffs for me, I think, is the Dominc Rhodes run vs Balt where he carries the entire Ravens defense for a first down, on the drive in which the Colts ice it. (Followed closely be, during the same drive, i think, the sick Manning to Clark catch)
Never doubt Peyton Manning, he’ll make you look silly
Joseph Addai is a good running back.
Im a douchebag, an asshole, and I'm rarely right.
yeah dom in the super bowl wasn’t really an individual performance.
I went with marvin but AV in the ravens game is a really good one, probably the finest game of his career.

Sigh...
Jim Sorgi is getting slighted again. HEY THAT CLIPBOARD DOESN’T HOLD ITSELF PEOPLE! HOW DID THAT CURTIS PAINTER WORK OUT THE LAST COUPLE GAMES???
Amirit or amirit?
Go Colts!
"Get ready"
No kidding! Remember the ‘06 AFC championship when Manning’s thumb came down on a helmet? He looked at Sorgi and said “Get ready.” And oh boy, Sorgi was ready. His practice throws were epic.
Hehe
Siggy moment.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
Joseph Addai
How about when he rushed for 4 touchdowns against the Eagles? That’s gotta be considered, especially as rookie.
Good one
I’ll add it. Thanks.

I know it was a nightmare game
and it was just one play
but when Brackett put his helmet on the football and knocked it out of Bettis’s grasp…
that could have gone down as the single greatest play in Colts history. Alas.
I voted for the Monday Night Miracle.
The greatest ending that no one saw, I think the game went on till around 1:00 AM.
"You can't defend the perfect throw, what can I say?" Peyton quoting Marino
"As I grow older, the list of people who can kiss my ass grows longer"-Ancient Hoosier Proverb.
I couldn't pull myself away from the game
I paid for it the next day at work but man was it worth it!
