Yes, that fateful sack by Bubba Bean of the Detroit Lions in that 1978 exhibition game was a major turning point in Colts history ...... when I made that post, I was thinking more in terms of the 1981 team, when the Colts went 2-14 and Bert had a public falling out with Curtis Dickey on the field.
Bert was healthy and had solid statistical seasons in 1980 and 1981, but the offensive line by that time was not on par with the 1975, 1976, and 1977 teams.
