A team like Indy is the kind of pro team that can nail ya with a big upset.

KY, I thought the game we played in Indy when they were winless up until then was the year we won SB 31?
It was '97. Ya made me look.
But it was the run up to SB32.
We should have known there was something wrong with that year.
I had the best seats at that game I've ever had for a football game. 15 rows up, right ON the freakin' 50. I was on one side of the 50, my partner was on the other.
On the way in, the people were very nice. All "go Pack, you'll win the SB again", etc etc.
On the way out they were yelling "We kicked your ass, Packers suck!" and shit like that.
We yelled "Ya weren't saying that shit before the game" & got out of that burg.
My stronger memory was when Peyton Manning came into Lambeau a few years back and sliced, diced, and made Julienne fries out of the Packers' defense. It was horrifying to watch. Manning was just having his way with that defense, like a gorilla with a fifteen year old virgin.

I'm to lazy to look up some stats at the moment, but last time Manning came to Lambeau he had a bad day couple of INTS, one by Aaron Rouse to the house...
I think you are thinking of 2 games ago when it was in Indy... The shootout with Favre where the one turnover was a fumble by a receiver (I forget who it was) which ended up costing the packers the game.

I think that was in 2004, the Indianapolis Shootout: 45 - 35 Colts, I believe . It was Javon Walker who fumbled as the Packers and Brett Farr were driving late in the 4th quarter. Indy scores a TD for the 10 point bulge, and Doug Pedersen (!) played the last series because No. 4 was gimpy. We drank a shot or beer for each TD scored. Needless to say, cab rides home for everyone that day.

Manning didn't do so great last time he played in Lambeau. Remember this?
I think you mean that debacle in Indy back in 2004 when the Packers were experimenting with Slowick's bring-the-kitchen-sink defense and, after one good result against Carolina, teams started regularly putting up 500 yards and 40 points against them. Moral of that story: don't rely on the blitz when your coverage scheme includes Michael Hawthorne, Ahmad Carroll and Mark Roman!
Hey, I was at that game. That was fun, and ended up being the high point of the year. Packers started in the Nickel and dared Indy to run.
That game in 2004 was a total track meet. Packers pretty much lost when Javon Walker fumbled late.
As per usual, I was there.
That 2004 game was a classic but a bummer.
The Gunslinger vs the Sherriff.
Peyton had 5 TD's in the first half.
Javon Walker looked like a baby superstar with 3 TD's. He had the best game of his career, but acted like a little girl after he was stripped, which cost us the game.
A "funny" moment was when I put the binocs on Slowik junking his whole scheme in mid game to try and keep up with those Colts. it was a little late for that shit, Bob.
I had some cool seat for that one. First row in the end zone, but second deck. I could see all the covers, routes, etc.
Post game, the Colt fans were real nice, showed some class. I told my pals I liked it better when the cussed us and acted like douche bags in '97 after that loss.
it was a tough loss, but one of the best Pro games I've ever seen.
