[I Would Root For Peyton Even If He Was An Opposing Player]

when you say you want Manning to win Super Bowls even at the expense of the Colts....that really makes you sound like you're more of a Manning fan than a Colts fan..

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Bottom line is I'm both. Hope I won't have to deal with the Colts and Manning being separate.

I also qualified my statement by saying I'll see how I feel at the time. I AM A COLTS FAN. We can go back and forth all night about how you might not think I'm a Colts fan based on these comments.

[I Would Root For Peyton Even If He Was An Opposing Player]

This is fine if you're a Manning fan and not a COLTS fan.......but as a Colts fan, if Manning moves on, I'll always hope the Colts do better than his teams and win more Superbowls than he does.

I'll root for him as long as he doesn't play the Colts, but if it comes down to a meaningful game and who I root for, it will always be the Colts.

I'm a Colts fan and a Manning fan...

I don't have to be one or the other.

[I Would Root For Peyton Even If He Was An Opposing Player]

I, too, was a Colts fan before Peyton. I just became a bigger Colts fan and a bigger football fan in general becasue of Peyton.

[I Would Root For Peyton Even If He Was An Opposing Player]

If it works out that Peyton has to go to another team, I'll be rooting for him even as our competition. Even as the Colts' compeitior, I would hope he gets more MVPs, wins more Championship games and more Super Bowls even if it means defeating the Colts. I say this now. Maybe I'll feel differently if/when that time comes, but I don't think so. I want the best for him for his balance of time in the NFL. Peyton put Indianapolis on the map as far as football is concerned. He deserves the best of fourtunes in the balance of his NFL career. He is the reason I enjoy football as I do and the reason I'm such a Colts fan. I suppose it could be said I'm a bigger Peyton fan than a Colt fan. In my eyes they are one and the same. As I said earlier, I qualified my statments by saying I'll see how I feel if/when the time comes, but at least for a while I'll be pulling for Peyton.

[How Far Out Can The Colts Push Peyton's Signing?]

0 days

Is that the flexibilty the Colts have or what you think will happen?

I ask because there were reports Peyton had agreed to push his signing bonus back. Now there are reports Irsay and Manning have not agreed to pushing the bonus back, but it looks as though that was possible.

[How Far Out Can The Colts Push Peyton's Signing?]

What's the maximum amount of time Peyton's bonus may be delayed? If Peyton is willing to give the Colts every opportunity required to evaluate his ability, what is allowed? Is it possible/allowed to compose a 1 year contract to evaluate him next year? What I'm getting at is can Peyton say "I'm willing to do whatever I need to do to stay in Indianapolis."

[Don't Recall The Last Time I Was This Nervous About A Game]

If you weren't more worried about any playoff game or either of the Super Bowls I would wonder about you.

I didn't say I was never more worried, I said I don't recall the last time (I didn't put a lot of thought into the last time I was so nervous). Perhaps I should have said I don't recall being so nervous about a game recently.

[Don't Recall The Last Time I Was This Nervous About A Game]

No...GO RAMS!!!

That works too...

[Don't Recall The Last Time I Was This Nervous About A Game]

This goes against all I've ever wanted/felt, but GO JAGUARS!

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

Rothlisberger is out. That gives the Rams a little better chance of a win to help us out.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

Niners might be resting starters. Steelers might not have big Ben. Vikes will. Beat bears.

Thought about that after I posted.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

The Rams could win 1 of their remaining games, but I don't think the Vikings can.

I meant to say the Vikings could win 1 of their remaining games. Rams are at Steelers then have 49ers. It's going to be tough to win 1 of those games.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

On a good note, assuming Peyton gets healthy and we lose the first pick, we'll almost certainly keep him.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

I agree.What a bunch of cry babies wanting a team to lose. This is not professional wrestling. These guys want to win,not throw games.

I guarantee there are a good percentage of Colts fans with mixed feelings. I was saying to my wife when we were 10 yards and less than 2 minutes from winning the game, the next 10+ years of our Colts could be affected by this outcome. No one wants to lose. The players are all playing for their respective jobs, no one is asking them to throw a game. But, this win may have cost us a lot down the road. It feels good to win, but this win may come at a big cost.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

Who gets the #1 pick if Colts/Vikings/Rams all lose?

We get the numer 1 pick if we lose next week.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

The Rams could win 1 of their remaining games, but I don't think the Vikings can.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

Okay...they just said on the NFL Network if we lose to the Jags we still get the number 1 pick.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

I think in this case I would have been happy with keeping it close instead of winning.

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

If we're in a tie, doesn't the strength of the teams we've played come in to the equation? Will we still get the first pick if we lose in Jacksonville?

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

So much for the firs pick...

[So We Get No 1 Pick If We Lose Tonight?]

At the start of the game, the announcers said the Colts will lock in the number 1 pick if we lose tonight. Does anyone know if that's true? Will we lock in the number 1 pick with a loss tonight and a win/loss with the Jags?

[So Who's Hoping That Dan-O And P-Money Win Us The Last 4 Games?]

I THINK winning a couple games and not having the #1 pick would help us. Cause Irsay is hellbent o have Luck and manning according to John Clayton

Personally, I would feel better about the Colts not having to deal with the problems associated with having the number 1 pick.

[For Everyone Saying We Have A Slim Chance Of Getting Andrew Luck]

Okay...now that we lost the home game to Jacksonville, we're a little closer to the number 1 over-all pick.

Assuming we get the number 1 pick and Peyton comes back healty as ever, what would be anyone's best guess as to how many picks we might get to trade our number one over-all pick? I've only really been heavy into watching and following football since drafting Manning several years ago. I'm not familiar with all the ins and outs of trading picks, etc. as we've been pretty darn goof for a long time. I would assume a team with a poor record would be most interested in securing our number 1 pick. That team would have a high pick too. Couldn't we get there high pick and more for our number 1 pick?
