  1. September 18 of 2016 I just read. NO blocked the first that counted for 2 pts against Carolina. According to that article prior to that when the team that blocked the Xtra pt recovered it was a dead ball. Actually think it was 2015 when rule was changed and NO was the 1st team to score 2 pts in Dec. of 2016
  2. Loved the 2 4th down calls to Pittman and MAC. Most innovative play calls we have seen from the Colts in years. Pittman had a great day and I was somewhat please with Pierce for a change. Franklin and Speed both had bad days. Need Steward bad badly.
  3. Thought he had one of his better days today.
  4. Why there are several on here that can do that for us. One needs to look no further.
  5. My gracious! Where is 2006? May be grieving too much to post yet, just kidding😉, but miss your input. 250 posts so far and none from you buddy.
  6. I won't regret it but would be very happy for Leonard even though I am glad we have moved on. It was time and things seemed to be going down fast.
  7. I know what you are saying but I find PFFs rating puzzling. Thru 9 games that each has played Franklin has 117 tackles to Shaq's 65, 63 solo's to 29, 1 1/2 sacks to Shaq's 0 and 2 FF to Shaq's 0. I know Franklin has played more but if he played twice as much you would think Franklin was every bit as effective and to me he was much more effective as I Leonard was very ineffective most of the time. Just my opinion as I know PFF ratings has been questioned several time and I don't understand how they do there rating. Very unconventional I might add.
  8. Doubt Flus will be there next year.
  9. When you run around and avoid contact I don't think you fit anyone's scheme. I have heard so much that it's Bradley's scheme but whose scheme would he fit in playing as he has been all year?
  10. I agree with you however his pocket presents and ability to pass on the run reminds me of Mahomes.
  11. Just today. Never heard it before.
  12. People complained for years that Ballard was risk adverse and that he needed to take a risk on getting a franchise QB knowing that it always a crap shoot but you have to take risk in order to get ahead. He took the risk and I will be happy if he turns out well but will not be one of those 'told you so guys' if he doesn't. there have been a few who already are doubting Ballard. Can't wait to see him next year.
  13. I will keep drinking the kool-aid and using the snake oil before I start drinking your poison and accepting the constant degrading of our team,s FO, Coaches and, to use your words, the marginal players we have on our team. Just not wanting to lower myself to that.
  14. Man this is like reading another Ballard grievance thread. I agree that we need help in some positions but don't agree with some of the positions mentioned. First I think Fries has played quite well the later part of last year and definitely this year. Hardly a game this year has he had the same two guys playing on either side of him. Between Smith and Kelly, they both have missed a lot of time and Smith was not effective when he played this year. As far as the DEs. I don't think they are that bad playing in Gus's D. We hardly ever blitz so it's 5 OL vs 4 DL. So far Paye has 3.5 sacks and 13TFL, Ebukam has 4 sacks and 22 TFL, Dayo in a more limited time has 3 sacks and 11 TFL and Buckner with very limited time at DE and most time at DT has 5 sacks and 21 TFL. I truly believe if we blitzed more and our corners covered better you would see more pressure from the outside. I think our weakest positions is corner and WR and depth along the OL. Would very much like to see us pick up a WR with speed in RD1 and fill in the rest in the draft and FA. LB concerns me the way Lenard is playing but a possibility of freeing a huge chunk of cash if he doesn't play better by year end. If Richardson comes back and plays well I don't think we are that far off.
  15. All I know is our secondary may make Young look like an All-Pro this week.
  16. We had our $ 90M LB returning and Franklin came off a great year. Guess they weren't prepared to pay him what he wanted.
  17. What was Okereke's coverage grade in this defense last year? I think he was in the mid teens last year which isn't bad.
