  1. His slump coincides with his change in name. We all know this, and the solution is simple.
  2. Spot on. He kind of jogged in instead of attacking the line. At the time it looked a bit arrogant/cocky to me. Something the coaches will help him with I hope.
  3. Most important game of the regular season? The Brady v Manning days are long gone. Chide the owners, they sent ‘our’ teams scuttling off overseas. Anyway, all irrelevant what us fans think, the money men decide as usual…..
  4. I think the ‘non USA’ fan base are a little more discerning than that. I assume it was the owners that agreed to all this, not the fans…..
  5. I’d say the neutrals mostly pick a team to cheer on. Or should I say, a team to root against! A different kind of atmosphere doesn’t mean it’s not as good as a normal US game. Maybe more fun. And we watch sport for fun. Mostly…….
  6. Hypothetically, yes they are. In real terms, champions of the USA. But it’s all a bit petty, who really cares. But I can assure you, that when we won the lot in 06/07, I never once punched the air and proclaimed that we were ‘champions of the world’!!! Did you?
  7. A very misguided view my friend. Perhaps if you attended a game over here in Europe, you might change your mind. Yes, there are fans of all 32 teams attending, but the atmosphere is cool, although perhaps different from the games in the US.
  8. Living in Scotland, we never got much NFL on the TV in the mid 80’s, apart from a one hour highlight show, aired a week after the games. The only live game was the SB, my first being the Bears in 1985/86. That was some team, and J became a kind of passive Chicago fan for a while. Mad McMahon, Dent, Singleterry, and of course, Walter Payton. He was majestic. Then I drifted away from the game until 2004, and my father called me. He had placed a bet on a team to win the Super Bowl, and they had a great QB. Guess who!! By then, we were getting live games now in the UK, and I just started following the Colts, and my passion just grew and grew. The night we beat the Patriots in the AFCCG has been one of my best sporting memories ever. But the day that the coward Polian pulled the starters and quit on a perfect season almost made me chuck the Colts. It was disgraceful. Seen the Colts live twice. In the LOS vs the Seahawks in 2013 and the disastrous loss to the Jags at Wembley a few years ago. I did meet and have a quick chat with Dallas Clark before the game though, what a lovely man. My long weekend in Indy in 2013 was magical, and the townsfolk were fantastic. Nice pubs too!!! Been a member of this forum since about 2005, and loads of familiar faces still around since those days, which is great. And that includes a few Pats fans!!!! Well, you did ask. Hope everyone is well.
  9. Fair point. Never been a fan of pressers or post match interviews. Stating the ‘bleedin’ obvious’ stuff. And I think you need to earn the ‘grumpy’ mantle, not start off like it. Belichick, Sir Alex Ferguson (if you follow soccer) and many other very successful coaches can get away with it, almost play up to their own turgid personality, but the newbies need to earn it. Although in a complete contradiction, maybe we’ve had too much of a nicey nicey approach over the years, what with Dungy and Caldwell and Chuck and Frank etc, maybe it’s time for some spikiness…..
  10. Gotcha sir, thanks for the info. On vacation now, but I’ll do some research on him when I get home. Cheers.
  11. In what way NFC? I’ve not seen any decent take, apart from the 2 min highlight reel.
  12. On a slightly different note…….this pick has given me a jolt. Since Luck retired, I have ashamedly stumbled down to a game day only fan. Obviously spoiled by years of Manning and Luck, I have been underwhelmed by the whole Rivers, Wentz and Ryan episode. I know they were stop gaps, but uninspired ones, giving out very little hope. The Richardson pick has rattled me out of my slumber, and whether it pans out or not, it has certainly rekindled my faltering passion for my Colts. Should they do a Manning and Luck, and chuck him in for Week One, even if he’s not really ready to play with the big boys? I hope they see enough in him to do so. It’s good to be back.
  13. Maybe he’s thinking if he becomes more Belichick-esque, he may become as partially successful as ‘Ol’ Brusque’ himself?
