I think the Colts can win this game. Their defense looked solid today with a good rush. If they can do that to Manning then they will get some ducks. Luck and TY need to be sharper. And no fumbles. Have to play clean. Denver has not lost at home so it will be a big challenge to beat them there. Anyone know what the weather is supposed to be?
Wasn't their loss to Cincy a home game?
-
That is part of the reason why I wanted Denver to avoid Indy because of Manning's emotions . I could tell it bothered him last year and it probably did this year . The colts and Denver are both completely different teams from week one . Should be an interesting matchup nonetheless .
Most definitely. The fact that it bothers him can be considered a weakness from a football standpoint, but i respect the fact that he's human and cares. The tribute we gave him last season was a touching moment to observe, and you could see the love shown to him was mutual based off of his reaction.
Regardless who wins, I'm rooting for whoever comes out of this game the rest of the way
-
Cincy struggled rushing the passer all season. Good performance by our line, but I'm not overly excited. Need to see some consistency first. If they manage to keep a clean pocket next week, color me impressed
-
I like our chances, just because of the emotional component involved to it. Peyton won't admit it, but it'll be a huge game for him, and we all know how Peyton is in huge postseason games. That gives us a fighting chance
-
Tipton? Even he shows TRich up... Sigh.
Lol. But it's the O line's fault, remember?
-
Trent sighting
-
Let's be real. The Trent chapter was a bust. I wanted it to work badly, too. I hoped I was wrong after the first 6 games of seeing that TR was not even average, but unfortunately it is true. You don't give up a first round pick for a solid pass blocker whom averages 3.4 ypc for his time as a Colt and his career. But hey, first round picks only come through 50% of the time anyway. Not much lost, but now we have to cut the losses and move on. Any objective observer can see it, but we just need to move past wasting touches on Trent.
He was ruled out for today's game. Doctors are saying it's a severe ego contusion
-
I'm smelling a pick on this drive. He's gotta throw now
-
Tipton looked very Trent-like on those runs. Just put an extra tight end in the backfield the rest of the game and throw shorter passes lol
-
Sheesh. Turnover
-
That wasn't protection, it was predictability. The end got a good jump on the play. Play action can only work so many times without you actually running the ball to make them respect it first
-
Drops are brutal. Good drive though. We just have to finish them
-
The very thing that stalls a lot of our drives is what also makes us so dangerous. That deep attack, when clicking, can keep us in almost any game
-
Pretty much, if you want to beat us, run with 6 and 7 linemen the entire game. We've yet to adjust to it, since the New England game LAST postseason
-
I'm ready for a change on defense. So undisciplined. No one setting the edges, no gap control. This defense is what it is under Manusky
-
If Baltimore wins next week, it could change the whole landscape of the playoffs. It opens the door to us having a realistic chance of not only getting to the Super Bowl, but winning it, provided we get hot. I just don't see us going into Foxborro and winning a game this year
-
It's Kubiak and his zone scheme. Unless we plan on doing stretch runs and cut blocking next year, Forsett is not a schematic fit for us.
(However, I do wish we WOULD switch to a zone blocking scheme. Seems much easier to build a line around, as opposed to the man blocking scheme we are failing so miserably at right now)
-
I can't even name the last player who was diagnosed with a concussion and played the following week
Emanuel Sanders (He got destroyed too, by a Rams defender, I believe)
-
I would be in agreement with you if we were having this discussion 20 years ago. However, it could very well be that the coach in place today is the one that the GM thought would win games. I see no evidence otherwise.
What is different about today than 20 years ago? Many of the same owners (or their heirs) are still in control of the same franchises, and are still giving "their guys" first dibs for any job openings they might have in the organization. Football, more than any other sport in american history, has an element of " the good ol' boys" to it. You still see it rampant even today. Head coaches and GMs often bring in "their guys" because they're most comfortable with that coordinator, position coach, etc, due to a certain level of familiarity, rather than searching for the most qualified individual. And if we're being completely honest, "good ol boys" typically didn't look like Pep Hamilton or Mike Tomlin for the longest time. Those are just facts. You can ignore that component of business culture if it makes you feel more warm and fuzzy inside, but it still exists.
Just because YOU don't see race -- which is insulting an insulting notion to begin with -- ( And If you'd like me to further elaborate why I feel that way, I'm more than willing to) doesn't mean that other people (particularly in a position of power) do not. Just because you haven't directly experienced the impact of institutionalized racism in your own life, doesn't mean it no longer exists. It's actually rather presumptuous on your end to think you can speak from a position of authority on this matter. These rules and mandates are here for a reason, and many of the same owners/their descendants who displayed discriminatory behavior towards minority candidates (inadvertent or not) in the past, are all still tied to those organizations at a significant capacity. As long as old money holds control of the business world, there is always a place for policies like the Rooney Rule. It's just a bi-product of the world we live in. If you don't like it, take it up with "the good ol' boys"
-
I can't think of any other reason...just fulfilling league obligations.
This is dumb. They could just skip waiting for him or any other black candidate still in the playoffs and just "interview" any random black coach/coordinator who's team is no longer playing, if it were truly just about fulfilling the Rooney Rule
I won't comment any further about how I really feel about some of these comments. I'll just say it makes me wonder...

Ever hear him talk? Compare it to when you hear Belichek talk. There are many college coaches with higher football IQ's than Pagano. Saban is smarter. As is Meyer. As is Malzahn. As are many others. In Pagano's 3 years as coach, have you ever heard him demonstrate any kind of technical, x's and o's knowledge? I sure haven't.
Pagano's football accumen sounds like it's at the same level as your everyday, run of the mill high school coach. Great cheerleader and clapper though, as i've said before.

Nixon, Shipley, Harrison, Louis, Fleener
This is the online that will win the game. The Benagls will never know what hit them.
Neither will Andrew lol
(I know you were joking)
-
its ranked 22nd because Trent is dragging it down.
I don't understand why people struggle with this. The line isn't great but it's capable enough that literally any back not named Richardson has had some semblance of success behind it, in spurts. The line needs fixing (more so for Luck's protection) but the single biggest problem with the run game is Richardson and the coaching staff's refusal to give up on trying making him a significant part of the offense
-
It could be worse.... We could've dumped a bust and gotten a 1st rounder for him, only to draft an even bigger bust who likely won't even make it 3 years in the league. Poor Cleveland

I can't see that angle on Luck's end. Sure, the media will play it up that way, but I don't think this game will be as defining a moment in his career as it will be for Peyton. Luck has a long career ahead of him yet. He's also never embraced the idea that he's "replacing" Peyton. It makes for a nice storyline, but i don't think there's any pressure on Luck going in. This could very well be the last time Peyton faces off against the Colts in his career. Unlikely, but you never know, he could retire at the end of this season
