Those of you who turned the game off and more...

Get over YOURSELF and don't chastise me for calling someone out. I managed to catch up on laundry and do some dishes, but I STILL had the game on and watched it until the last play.

I think Section 5 Paragraph 2 of the TRUE Fan rule book clearly states that "No true fan will catch up on laundry, do dishes, or take bathroom breaks until the last play".

Till the Colts start sending me a pay check for watching their games I am not obligated to watch them from start to finish every single week. People watch the Colts out of entertainment. If they stop being entertaining people have a right to go do something else that does entertain them. It has nothing to do with being a "real" fan or not. I would just about everyone who turned the game off today because it was a blow out will be right back in the Colts corner next week. Personally I had a prior commitment that I had to go to this evening that made me leave shortly before half-time so I had no choice in the matter. With that said I choose to watch the Colts every week because they are my team but I can understand those that got tired of this game today and walked away.

Terrible thread is terrible.

the mods will go out there way to edit anything that is negative toward the beloved Patriots but they won't delete terrible threads like these..

And hey OP I guest I should be a Bills fan cuz you said so right? GO BILLS!

Though I appreciate the OPs optimism for the current state of the team, it was easy to see where this thread was going.

There should really be an auto edit on the term 'Real Fan', or 'True Fan', as though it were cussin'.

Trying to impose your will on others, especially over the internet, seldom goes well.

Before closing this thread, I want to say that I agree with the OP in that the Colts are not terrible, the sky is not falling, and I am proud of what they have accomplished this year.

There are some Colt's fans who may have watched this game to the bitter end.

Others may have kept the TV on, but paid little attention to the game. I know that is what I did.

And, there are some who may have turned the TV off or to a different channel.

Doing one over the other doesn't make one a better or more true fan. It just means that we all handle times of adversity in different ways.

    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
