Oh, it is just certain malcontents that seem to derive joy by being negative most of the time. Don't let them get you down, just consider the source.

Imo, I don't think anybody's acting like "spoiled brats" by stating obvious concerns, even after a 44-17 win. Did you ever see Jimmy Johnson let his guard down back in the early 90`s when the Cowboys were dominant and winning games? Even late in games when they were up, it was all business and execution. This aint Dallas nor Jimmy Johnson I know but that's what makes a good team like the Colts..great. and I personally want a great team. It was a great moral victory today, but if the same occurring mistakes happen against the Patriots, Saints etc of the NFL world the Colts will remain "good". There were a lot of bright spots to be happy about in todays game and am sure will be talked about. But overall big picture wise, IMO, there`s still a lot of work to do. Good is good but great is better

I agree with you ColtsRule, some people like to complain more than just enjoy their team. I don't get why people would want like for example, Mike Adams benched after this week. Our entire defense played well, and we shut down Jacksonville defensively for the most part, sure Adams isn't a star, but every defensive player you have doesn't need to be a star, and Adams isn't horrible, it just blows my mind how people always find something to complain and moan about.

Some people are never happy.

Also I still think some are here just to be right in arguments and that's more important to them than if the Colts do well.

So True....   Just remember  this  ~  People can only ruin your good mood  IF you let them, and also:

Welcome to sports. 

 

I looked up the word "Fanatic" in the backward dictionary.

 

Fanatic; Completely reasonable, objective person not prone to irrational emotion and entirely capable of objectivity during times of duress and/or stress.

 

 

Yeah....that passes the sniff test. 

 

Look, I sat in with the fellas at the Broncos board tonight, and many of them had their team written out of the playoffs, Manning in retirement, the coaching staff fired (all of them) and their team in shambles. That's after losing in overtime to the reigning NFL champs, in their house, one of the worst places to play.

 

This behavior is typical. Not that cooler heads wouldn't be welcome.

Well, as I have said, it seems as if people expect a perfect game.  No drops, no sacks given up, huge holes, shut out the other team.  And if that doesn't happen, there is disappointment.  I have never really understood the attacking of Fleener, TRich, and Pagano.  The negativity is brutal.  But I think those same "fans" will be cheering when the Colts can actually run and stop the run in the playoffs, where that really matters the most.

I think the only guy I had to put on ignore was OlBlue. Not as hot headed as I used to be so that helps. I just come to realize some of these keyboard killers wouldn't bust a fart bubble much less anything else.

Message Boards and forums like this one and others that I frequent are comprised of a diverse group of fans... After any loss you will have those who fear the "sky is falling" and must fire or bench someone to please the masses... You also have the fans who regardless of the outcome sip their wine while wearing their "rose colored glasses" and never have a negative comment... That is the fun of these groups, how boring would it be if 500 members logged on everyday and said "Go Colts" high fived each other and left without an opinion??? No, most of us would rather voice an opinion to spark debate and conversation.... So if someone wants Pep fired or Fleener benched etc... State your opinion as to why or why not... Either way the comments do not make anyone less of a fan.... Just my two-cents ...

"A win is a win" been said a billion times. What matter is the level of play we saw, meaning it was played well by the Colts as opposed to incompetance by the opposition. Every play of every game counts and if you execute well it adds up and will show itself down the road. Look at some of the results yesterday- losers were Green Bay, San Fran, Denver and New England was nowhere near what they used to be. A locker room after a win against a poor team is better than a loss to a great team. Winning  tastes as good as it smells.

I'm happy with the win.  But just like I don't go overboard when the Colts lose, I don't go overboard when they win.

 

The Denver game, the Colts looked bad in that game.  The Philly game, yes the refs blew a call but the Colts still failed to stop Philly on two straight possessions and had a chance to go on a game winning drive and failed.  So, it's not like the Colts played great in either of those games.

 

In the win, the Colts looked really sharp in the first half in all three phases.  In the 2nd half though they gave up 224 yards and 2 TDs to a rook in his first game action and only scored one offensive TD in the first half.

 

Like Dungy used to say and like Pagano says, a team is never as bad as they look when they lose and never as good as they look when they win.

Know "we" didn't.  neither did the Colts, the back-ups starting coming in in the 4th quarter.  It was Butler and Adams that missed the tackle and allowed the long TD pass.  It was the back-ups that got fooled with the fake spike.  And Toler and Davis did pick him off and they were nice INTs, but they are not the back-ups.

 I agree, it is our best performance since Jax 37-3 last year. If Bortles had started we might have lost.

 I`m happy for the Guys to get a win and that some of our young guys got some good snaps. Yaaaaa!

 Then there are Homer Ostrich`s that wanna just shake the Pom Poms and shout Happy Days. Woot! Woot!

 Takes all kinds.

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By stitches · Posted

      I knew I had a favorite last year, but I thought I would be good with whoever the Colts picked... and this was until the odds for the Colts picking Levis hit -4000 or something of the sort about half an hour before the draft and my heart completely dropped. In a way I'm happy the odds-makers completely missed on this one... it showed me how I really felt about those players and made me even more appreciative for us drafting Richardson an hour later.    So... you would be good with any of them... but who do you REALLY want?    On your question... if I had to guess, most Colts fans haven't watched this QB draft extensively. I know I haven't. So his statistical profile doesn't scream 1st rounder so... possibly why not many people really like him. Also keep in mind that this is compared to the other 3. 2 of them have been crowned as the next big thing for a while now and the third one won the Heismann with some exceptional performaces throughout the year.

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…)

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      My sleepers: (meaning, the kind of players coaches would like to have, more than what consensus big board gives credit to them. Some of them might need couple of years to attain their high potential, if drafted into suitable coaching environment, so a lot depends on that. Some of them have injury concerns too).   Most of them are high IQ players or high-effort, high-motor players - two traits I look for from the Drafted players, list is long but I like these guys.. gonna be interesting to see where they land and how it works out for them in long run.    Payton Wilson, LB, NC State Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale Maason Smith, IDL, LSU Christian Mahogany, OG, Boston College Max Melton, CB, Rutgers Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon Khyree Jackson, CB Oregon Dylan McMahon, C, NC State (good fit for Browns)  Tykee Smith, SAF, Georgia Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame Michael Barrett, LB Michigan Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky Beaux Limmer, IOL, Arkansas   Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami McKinnley Jackson, IDL, Texas A&M Kalen King, CB, Penn State Justin Eboigbe, IDL, Alabama    Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona Beau Brade, SAF, Maryland Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville Jalyx Hunt, EDGE, Houston Christian (I'm hoping for day 3 Vikings pickup, as Flores could work wonders with him)  Jaheim Bell, TE, Florida State Brennan Jackson, EDGE, Washington State  Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland Myles Cole, EDGE, Texas Tech Kristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa Javontae Jean-Baptiste, DL, Notre Dame Jordan Magee, LB, Temple Myles Harden, CB, South Dakota Jalen Green, EDGE, James Madison (UDFA Target prospect)  Trey Taylor, S, Air Force (UDFA prospect) Eyabi Okie-Anoma, EDGE, Charlotte Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto  Sundiata Anderson, EDGE, Grambling State  Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State (Special Teams, Returner)  Emani Bailey, RB, TCU   As for Vikings, I don't wanna rush to draft QB if the team isn't confident in the guys they could move up in draft range, and I'd like to just draft impact players that build the roster at this point.   Build the team, draft a franchise QB at right time, don't rush and ruin years trying to make someone work out in the NFL.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By DougDew · Posted

      If you are relying upon history, does accuracy matter?  I think the reason Smith ended up at RT is because the coaches tried him there out of necessity and he played well, and stayed there due to the coaches wishes.  I don't think that FO guys had much to say about it, because Smith was in fact drafted to be a G, not the RT.  Ballard's own words after day 2 of that draft was that they drafted Smith a bit higher than they had him ranked, because he was the "last remaining starting caliber G on the board".   So it does fit that Smith was not drafted by Ballard or the FO to be a RT...in part because of the measurables and arm length.   Also directing this response to @Matthew Gilbert

      Same. And that's because over time that level of depth eventually decays.

      By Superman · Posted

      I don't think players like Davis (and especially Bryan, who I don't think will make the final 53) should impact our draft strategy at all. Not even a little bit. If we like Byron Murphy, figure out what to do with those other guys later. The other versatile guys you mention don't scratch the itch the way Murphy would be expected to -- he should be looked at as a disruptive 3T who plays there every down, not a matchup guy or passing downs guy.    If anything, maybe it's the other way around. The Colts already had a feel for the DTs in draft class and knew they wouldn't get what they want in the draft, so they addressed the position in free agency. And after this weekend, that might help people better understand the strategy at DB and WR...    The bolded really gets at the heart of it. I like Murphy, but I'm not offering him as a great player that you just have to take a chance on. But when it comes to draft strategy, I think taking the best players is the way to go. I'm directly opposed to needs-based drafting, and to passing on a really good prospect because you have backup level veterans already on the roster.
