  1. Have to agree 100%. Seems pretty common around here nowadays the lumping everything into one mega thread thats impossible to navigate. Unless your checking in every 10 minutes or spending hours reading it. For people like me who check in maybe once a day for 10 minutes its basically not even possible to figure out all the moves the colts have made.
  2. Not surprising. Ballard is putting all of his eggs in the basket he has already made with his own players and banking on AR taking us over the hump. This is also the way he has operated every single FA since he has been here. We will sign 2 or 3 guys people haven't really heard about for bargain contracts. He knows if AR doesn't pan out he is done. His seat is probably the warmest its ever been. So he is going to either sink or swim with this team as is. I would probably do the same at this point. Why change who you are.
  3. Pass rush can come in many forms. An elite DT, an elite Edge, elite scheme. I think KC has the DT and the scheme. Im not sure if we have any. Needs investment. Paye can go. QB is TBD. Pittman im not sure is the elite weapon that will get us there, we need to invest in that position more. Whether its an elite TE like KC has or another wide out. LT and the Oline I think is pretty well solidified. CB I would say is TBD as well because of the youth but further investment wouldnt hurt. If you look at the successful teams in todays NFL these are the positions that are focused on. Thats why they are deemed premium positions. Its something Ballard has stubbornly refused to do, but seems to be coming around lately.
  4. KC's pass rush basically won the game for them. Key plays where the 49ers could have daggered them Purdy literally had under a second it seemed.
  5. Need a QB. Need protection for the QB. Need a pass rush. Need a legit weapon or two. Premium positions.

    Yah there is lots of what ifs or should have beens. Dolphins went back to back with a perfect season, went to a 3rd and lost, never won the 3rd so not technically a dynasty but pretty close. Vikings went to 4 in 6 years and lost them all. Bills went to 4 straight lost them all. Raiders had a really good team and would have won more than 2 had they not ran into the Steelers every year in the 70's Cowboys probably would have won more if JJ wasnt replaced.

    Dynasties

    Bears 3 championships in 4 years with 1 other appearance 40-43 Browns 3 championships in 6 years with 3 other appearances 50-55 Packers 3 championship and 2 super bowls, plus the 3 peat in 7 years 61-67 Steelers 4 super bowls in 6 years 75-80 49ers 4 super bowls in 9 years 82-90 Cowboys 3 super bowls in 4 years 93-96 Patriots 3 super bowls in 4 years 02-05 and then 3 more in 5 years 15-19 with 3 other appearances mixed in and now the Chiefs 3 super bowls in 5 years with one other appearance and still going Congrats Chiefs
  8. Its really a team sport. So hard to judge who the GOAT is or the top 5. Take BB and those defenses away from Tom Brady how many superbowls does he win? Give Manning BB and those defenses how many superbowls does he win. One thing Mahomes, Brady and Montana have that Peyton lacked is that clutch gene to just get it done in the playoffs no matter what. So I would put Manning at 4 for those reasons only. As championships is really the only thing that matters.
  9. Yes I agree unlikely. Being open minded is so far removed from the conspiracy theorists who push their agenda and chastise anyone who tries to disagree with them. Big difference IMO. There is still the scandal in the NBA that happened only 20 years ago though and back then im sure people were making the exact same points your making about it being to intricate to be possible. Then it was revealed that it was happening. On what exact scale I dont think we will ever know the exact truth. We have seen so many major scandals, in all aspects of life, going back to the beginning of time pretty much. Thats almost indefinite proof right there that there is many more currently going on in todays world. I dont think all of them unravel in the way you describe. Its a fascinating topic to say the least.
  10. You know thats a very fair and well thought out response. Thanks, and all I really said in the first place is that although unlikely its not out of the realm of possibility as many people seem to assume. However I do hold firm in my belief that facts and information provided to us the general public are likely often skewed, misleading, or downright false. Which does kind of open a pandoras box of possibilities. Everyone thinks differently, life is a trip. I choose to stay open minded.
  11. Ok well a magical flying elephant is way far off to one side of the spectrum. Much much different than saying the refs in the NFL maybe call a few plays in favor of certain teams in order for betting purposes or something else versus the common thinking that it would be impossible to pull off. When it happened in the NBA just 20 years ago. Stay open minded within reason.
  12. I try not to form opinions, doesn't always work of course. My philosophy is stay neutral, stay open minded. "We" meaning us the general population likely dont ever have the real facts. So whats the point.
  13. Im not trying to say it is or isn't the truth. Im just saying when all the people feeding you the information are untrustworthy its probably best to stay neutral and accept that a wide spectrum of truths are likely possible.
  14. You could look at it from that angle. You could also look at it from an angle of he was caught already, had nothing to lose and wanted to spill the truth. While the NBA does everything in its power which is a lot power in order to cover their own * and make him the sole fall guy and main culprit. There is always multiple angles and the unfortunate thing about the world we live in is the NBA a multi billion dollar corporation, the governments of the world and Tim Donaghy are all about equally as trustworthy. Which is not trustworthy in the slightest bit.
