Bert was great.....rest in peace Ray Bob Oldham Baltimore Colts 4 ever! Go Ravens

It's amazing how Irsay sabotaged the Colts team. Off the top of my head, he let go of so many talented players:

Lydell Mitchell

Ray Chester

Freddie Scott

Stan White

Lyle Blackwood

Joe Washington

John Dutton

All of these players were key contributors on the '75 - '77 AFC East Champions and had the Colts on the verge of becoming Super Bowl contenders.

@fin8glr ~ you can throw Lyle Blackwood in there to. He only went on to become a member of the Miami Dolphins "Killer B's" bunch on defense during the early 80's.

[fin8glr]

@Baltimorehop Good catch! Don't know how I forgot Lyle. He was one of my favorite players...

I think Ray Oldham also played for Detroit along with Stan White and Freddie Scott.

If Bert Jones had managed to stay healthy! Wow. What an incredible talent. One of the best to ever play the game. He was Elway before Elway.

[FRSFreeStateES]

1978 was the start of the fall of the Colts in Baltimore

[raelraven2]

I was at this game! I sat in the old wooden bleachers in the open end of old Memorial Stadium. As I recall it was a real shootout that the Colts managed to win with Bert Jones throwing a winning TD.
