[OG Jon Asamoah might be available, Interest?]

He's overpaid. If he was cheaper sure, he's okay just not nearly as good as his contract.

[Really Funny College Football Playoffs Commercial with Dr. Pepper.]

 

I laughed. 

[Who will score the first colts touchdown?]

Two yard goaline run by Gore.

[Crossing the border into NY from Canada to see the Colts?]

Cool Reality. Are you saying that if you leave at 9am from Toronto you expect to get to the game on time?

Probably. It's about a 1.5 hour drive to Buffalo with no bad traffic and not a horrible border crossing wait time. Add 20 minutes to get to Orchard Park specifically and it's about a 2 hour drive, I just like to have extra time to cushion traffic, border security etc. 9 should leave you with lots of time.

[Crossing the border into NY from Canada to see the Colts?]

I'm coming from Toronto, I'm leaving around 8:45-9:00, but being extra careful by leaving plenty of time in case border crossing is busy. 

[Colts extend LT Anthony Castonzo (updated)]

Good. I really like the deal, but even if you look past the numbers it had to be done. In order to start improving the OL you have to have the stud building block. AC is that.

[We need to sign Aldon Smith this offseason!]

No. No. No. No. 

 

By the way, No.

[Did Castonzo Just Make Some Money ?]

I think the Williams deal is more of an eye opener to him. He wants the years and g'd money. My guess for him would be somewhere in between Joe Staley's contract and Trent Williams. 4/45ish possibly? 

[Referencing Our Team...using Other Teams' Starters]

A lot of these compairisons are pretty far off IMO.

 

As for the success of the team that comes down to chemistry. Have they just been plucked together and stating a season now? Or do they have some chemistry like the Colts do.

[Amarlo Herrera Added To Colt's Ps.]

The @Colts signed sixth-round pick ILB-Amarlo Herrera to their practice squad. To make room for Herrera, the Colts waived OG-David Arkin

Dropped Arkin. Great to see us retain Herrera. Lots of talent on our PS with Carter, Herrera, Adongo, McDonald etc...

[Colts Vs Bills Game #1 Predictions And What You Want To See Thread]

I want to see our WR corps in full strength. 

 

I want to see if the DL looks good and can keep up with Shady.

 

I want to see how the OL plays.

 

I want a win. I don't care if it's a speak it out tune up game or if it's a game where we look like we're in mid-season form, I want a win.

 

But overall, no matter what outcome I'll be out their screaming wildly in the crowd. 

[Irving And Moore Next Years Starters?]

It's possible. Depends on how Irving recovers/plays and same goes for Moore.

[Boom To Ir, Still A Colt]

Whew. Good. Boom is a keeper, surprised nobody picked him up.

[Colts New Style D]

If we're talking draft, Su'a Craevens would be a tremendous player in our defense. He could be a S/LB who can matchup with tight ends and cover very well but is very stout against the run. A tougher Shaq Thompson. 

[James Conner To Miss The Year With Torn Mcl.]

Horrible news. One of my favorite players. He reminds me of Marshawn Lynch the way he runs. Hopefully he stays at school for his senior year and gains his stock back, could be a first round pick. 

[Giants Unofficially Add Montori Hughes To Their Practice Squad.]

#Giants did have former Colts DT Montori Hughes practicing for them today. He has been added to the practice squad, unofficially as of yet.

[Defensive Line.....]

Oh good god, stop being so sensitive.

I didn't bother with the line being above average being contingent on jones being back because he is out for the season and he isn't a true difference maker anyway.

Our main disagreement is you think,he is a beast when healthy....and probably the only person on the planet that believes so.

"Probably the only person on the planet who believes so"

 

Okay so lets just disregard:

- The man who gets paid millions, who shelled over 30 Million to him.

- The coach who speaks glowingly of him

- All of the writers at Pro Football Focus

- All of the Colts beat writers who said it's a huge loss 

- Former coaches who speak glowingly of him

- Many of the only posters on this board

[Defensive Line.....]

How did I misrepresent what you where saying? You said he was a beast as a raven and I ssaid he wasn't......he wasn't anything close to a beast. Where is the misrepresentation?

I don't recall him getting injured that early in the season last year, but if he did the point still stands.....they guy has never been a beast.

First, you said the DL I proposed wasn't above average, but you didn't seem to read the second half of the sentence about how it's contingent on Arthur Jones coming back. Then you ask if I saw any "beast" from him when he was with us when I clearly had just stated he hasn't played well as he has been injured. Maybe you should just read what I'm saying more carefully or stop jumping the gun because I am done repeating myself.

 

And he was injured week 2 last year against Philly (high ankle sprain) which kept him out an extended period of time and was still effecting him when he was recovering.

[Defensive Line.....]

He was never a beast. He came from a talented Baltimore front seven where I'm guessing he played limited snaps.

Anyway, did you watch him last year before he was injured? Did you see a "beast?"

Holy ****, you're consistently misrepresenting what I am saying.

 

Did I ever say he was a beast with us? No. I was strictly talking about his days with Baltimore. He played 1 game before getting injured, if you're judging a players skill level when they're healthy off one game you're not going to be very successful. 

[Don't Believe This False Story About Luck...]

There was a fake post about Peyton with the same stuff a while back. Real fake, disregard..

[Boom Herron Waived/injured]

robinson and varga knock on wood have the same chance of getting hurt as ballard

Ballard is already hurt.

 

Also, no they don't Ballard has a injury history and re-injury concerns are real. Ballards style of play will most likely never be the same too, just like anyone who has more than 1 devastating injuries.

[Full Practice Squad Announced.]

I like keeping Pendleton, he looked solid in PS. I think Patterson is the odd man out if we can keep Herrera.

[Boom Herron Waived/injured]

so you trust a 6th round pick and a undrafted rookie to back up gore more then ballard

This is really easy to flip around on you.

 

You trust a injured player, who has had 2 straight devastating injuries to back up Gore more then 2 healthy young rookies who have impressed in pre-season play?

[Boom Herron Waived/injured]

It's a "What have you done lately?" League & none of you can give a legit reason based of production lately why Ballard should be on this roster right now. He's finished. An injury waiting to happen every time he touches the ball

I agree with you 100% TK. Fans will be fans and be stuck in the past about what Ballard has done, and just block out the real facts that would suggest he should not be on this roster.

[Boom Herron Waived/injured]

My god. If he doesn't clear waivers and go to IR I will be very upset but I am optimistic this will happen.
