  1. Well, the question I have is why cant Matt Ryan and the Falcons beat the Saints, Beat the Packers and end up in Indy. Is their weakness in there defense, or is ryn to inconsistent to make it to the big game?

  2. I am creating this thread just to see your guys thoughts on why or why not a Team in the NFC will or will not make the superbowl I think it will be the saints or the Packers only because they both have an offense hard to compete with.

    So Id like you guys to take this and post why

    Falcons: Why

    Why Not

    Giant: Why

    Why Not

    Saints: Why

    Why Not

    Packers: Why

    Why Not

    Lions: Why

    Why Not

  3. Is Caldwell as bad as all think he is.

    Why is he still here? Is it because Irsay seen him come about 2 plays away almost every game this year from winning with under average players.

    I would love to see caldwell shipped off and bring in a new coach, but what is it that irsay sees to keep him on..

    Obviously he fired the polians because of their lack of ability to bring in young talent, but is he keeping jim because he took these young players and ALMOST won or what?

  4. I dont want luck either, Im not a fan of lucks...Every highlight I have seen of the kid...he runs more than he throws. If I can find the links Ill post, so everyone sees what I see...

    But what i am saying is, IS HE OUR GUY? I see him run more than he passes, does this mean he cant pass that well, because all the highlights I see are of him hitting receivers in busted coverage or is it because he would rather tuck and run, because he isnt accurate...I dont know. I dont know anything about him...and I havent seen anything in the highlights that makes me believe he is the next man for Indy...

    Irsay will do what he wants with this draft and all the fans will like regardless.

  5. out of all the possible coaches they listed as likely to show up in indy next year, Sherman is the only one id like...and Im not even happy with that idea

    He brought the packers to an overall record of 53-27 in a 5 year time, I believe....and took them to the playoffs 4 times out the 5....

    He is the headcoach at Texas A&M now, and has a record of 25-25..but just signed a contract extension through the year of 2015....so I dont think he will come

  6. when the Rb is behind the qb there are 2 WR to the left 1 to the Right, The play is usually a pass play, but They have added the Rb to add to play action plays. Which they dont call it the ACE anymore, its referred to the Single Back formation.

  7. Ace is a classic formation that has the qb under center, with no Rb and 4 wideouts. Todays game has the ACE package with a rb behind the qb

    I dont know Belly or Belly flip...Never heard of them Might be a audible the colts used for a formation?

    dont know

  8. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. It was selfish to his team - he cost them 15 yards. He could have given the ball to the fan without the bow and it would have been just fine. But he did not do that and his actions cost his team.

    That is very definition of selfish. He put himself before others.

    Didnt cost them anything but 15yrd....Im sure his teammates didnt mind it, he was just giving a fan a ball....So I dont see it as selfish..

    They still won! not like the 15yrds hurt them any

  9. I think its stupid, but I dont have any say in the rules....plus He also got fined for wearing christmas colored tape for the holidays...I dont get it

    They can wear pink for the whole month of october...Which I know is for a better cause, but cant wear the colors that represent a holiday?

  10. 25 players IR's d - inbcluding past colts session & Chick , as well as OT Briten & TE Zach Miller & Rb Jennings & other familar names

    here is the roster that shows it , they cant even fill a PS , only 2 on it

    http://www.jaguars.c...eam/roster.html

    Key Injuries, MJD & TE Marcedes Lewis, WR Cecil Shorts,OT Eugene Monroe

    http://www.jaguars.c...ury-report.html

    Hey I know Cecil, one of my friends went to college with him at Mt. Union, Nick Driskill plays Db

  11. We should work on CBs and possibly safety position. I know we need help on the oline, which I wish the address to, as well as the Dline..but there isnt enough good players to snag for all of our needs...

    Our Lb core i think is the best it has been in a while...are Cornerbacks are average at best..we need a better Cb...Safety position changes all the time..bethea needs another man back there like him at least.

    DT has been a problem, but I think we can fix it in FA maybe..Oline also has been a problem so can we fix that in the draft?

    I dont know any good prospects for any of the positions we need, but I do know we need some help on this team and it isnt qb..not this year, in my opinion

  12. you are just wrong and i will prove it.

    an average of 12 qb's are drafted a year going back to 1991. that is about 230 non 1st overall qb's (i'm sure it is similar going back further). how many have been successful and what is the percentage? maybe one every year? that is one out of 11. first overall picks are a MUCH higher success percentage! you conveniently forget haw many qb's are taken every year.

    the last 11 years:

    vick - successful

    carr - bust

    palmer - successful

    manning - successful

    smith - average

    russel - bust

    stafford - he is playing well now

    bradford - good, bad, and hurt (inconclusive)

    newton - successful

    there are only two real busts on this list. what is your idea of successful? these qb's have been drafted by bad teams, so how do you judge them on a winning record? vick, palmer, and manning have all been the face of their franchise at one time.

    who are the non 1st pick qb's that are successful the last 10 years? are there 50? there has been over 100 drafted.

    Well, I think its to early to say Newton is a success now with this being his first year, he has done some amazing things but I just cant say he is successful yet, to me a successful qb brings wins to a team gets them championship. or at least takes them to the big game. That to me is success. so to your list Ill add my thoughts

    vick - agree

    carr - agree

    palmer - disagree, I think palmer should be considered average

    manning - agree

    smith - agree

    russel - agree

    stafford - disagree, He has been injured most of last year and only played in 10 games in 09. So I would say he isnt a bust, but he is earning a name for himself this year no doubt about it. Id label him as inconclusive

    bradford - disagree, I think bradford is a bust but then I think its to early to call him a bust or a success.

    newton - disagree, Its to early to claim him successful, he is playing on a bad team, and has a losing record..but he has put up some amazing numbers...so yeah he WILL be successful eventually, but to early to tell.

    Being average and injured doesnt equally successful to me. So I say out of all those only Three are possibly Successful, Vick, Manning, and Newton..Look at the other qbs taken though in those Drafts..Rogers was in the 05 draft and is very successful. Drew Brees was in Vicks Draft Class. and has had a better career, Carson Palmer is the best qb in his draft, but is he worth that first pick..I dont know because Im just judging by his pro career.

    But Im not just talking about the 1st pick overall. Im talking about the first qb taken in the draft period, whether they are number 1 or number 10..just saying in general..

  13. "So proud of the way my boys fought last night!! its pretty disgusting that we are being rooted against for a draft pick. #KeepFightingFellas"

    I guess he said it Friday I just saw it retweeted today.

    Yeah I cant say I disagree with him at all..I feel the same way. Its like someone rooting against me to perform my best when Im at work, which would probably get me fired...You think any colts players want to lose their jobs because they gave up..lol Dont think so..So for everyone who thinks they should just quit on this season, why dont you just quit on your job

  14. I saw what Mathis said on Twitter today and I agreed with him 100%. I understand people who want the top pick but it's over the top when people are ripping them a new one for winning when they have complained all year this team has too much talent to be losing.

    what was it mathis wrote on twitter?

  15. the percentage of the first overall pick qb being successful is much greater than the non first overall pick qb's. it's like finding a

    Thats not true, you go back and research the first qb taken out of the draft and see how many of them became successful, had winning records, or became the face of the franchise. If you look at what qbs came out of later rounds of the draft and compare them too the very first one taken out, you will see...I only researched ten years back and know for a fact there are more successful qbs taken later than the first one taken, whether it be the first over all or just first qb period

  16. So, a lot of people are saying that we should take Luck first overall because it will "set our franchise up for the next 10-15 years." So, I got to thinking, what is the success rate of drafting QBs #1 overall? All these guys were taken in hopes that they would be the centerpiece of their franchise and "set them up for the next 10-15 years." So, how many of these guys would you say are worth taking with the first pick? I went back 20 years and looked at every QB take #1 overall.

    1993 – Drew Bledsoe – NE

    1998 – Peyton Manning – IND

    1999 – Tim Couch – CLE

    2001 – Michael Vick – ATL

    2002 – David Carr – HOU

    2003 – Carson Palmer – CIN

    2004 – Eli Manning – SD (traded to NYG)

    2005 – Alex Smith – SF

    2007 – JaMarcus Russell – OAK

    2009 – Matthew Stafford – DET

    2010 – Sam Bradford - STL

    Of that list of 11 guys, I think 3 of them (Bledsoe and the brothers Manning) have turned out to be "franchise QBs." Of those three, 2 have won Super Bowls for their team, and of those two, I bet only one is destined for the Hall of Fame. Admittedly, the jury is very much still out concerning Stafford and Bradford.

    So, it appears to me that all those clamoring for "the next Manning" are ignoring the fact that Peyton is the exception, not the rule. I know that many will disagree with me, and that's fine. It's just my two cents. I just don't understand why people are acting like Luck is a "sure thing" because he is projected to be the #1 pick in the draft.

    I created a post very very similar to this a few months back, when everyone has hard for Luck..just to show not very many qbs picked first have been successful, but those qbs that have been picked up later in the draft have shined tremendously...like Brady for a good example...Was a 6th round pick I believe, and is considered one of the best..Rogers, is earning his name for one of the best...Drew brees, not sure when he went, but look at his career...Dan Marino Drafted 27th I think in 83, Brett Favre Drafted 33rd overall by the Falcons and I think he sat on the bench before going to green bay...So I mean Franchise qb's dont necessarily come from the number 1 pick, only a few good ones like Manning do

  17. Awesome! I just got a tryout with the Omaha Nighthawks. Hopefully they'll sign me and I'll go up against him :) Surprise they gave me a contract, I'm a little old.

    is this serious, Im happy for you if its true, I was going to tryout for linebacker for one of the teams but was told I was undersize, 215lb 6ft tall...but hey man congrats if its true...what position?
