    He and Unitas redefined their positions.

    Lenny Moore as well- yet Indy Fans don’t even put him on the list of Best Colts Running Backs. Some of his NFL TD Records were just broken in the past few years, after standing since the 1960s.

    I don’t know why, but for some reason every year this post is always entertaining. What number will each player wear? I personally hope that Mitchell wears 17 my favorite number. I have a blank jersey with 17 on it. I would love to put Mitchell on the back of it.

    Sam Havrilak’s Colts #?

    not for 87 and it would be cool if reggie asked him to.  i don't want anyone in 88 again.  

    I didn’t want anyone wearing 88 after John Mackey wore it, but we can’t retire them all….

    Love it. But Flacco should know that this is where aging vet QBs go to end their careers. So maybe he just knows it time.

     

    It also allows me to post the dancing Flacco raven, which is one of the best ESPN graphics of all time:

    Joe has always worn #5. AR is #5.   Wonder what number Joe’ll have here?????

    AR is the only man who can stop Kermit and the Chiefs now. 

    I’ve never heard of Mahomes called Kermit.  How’d they come up with that one????

    I think you can X out the box showing the options then you can read it.

    Nope. I’ve read too many Indy Star Articles. Can’t get by subscribing.  It’s ok. I’ll hear him on Kevin Bowen’s show….

    It’s no surprise that they're going with someone from Baltimore, whom John Harbaugh can vouch for, and Jim probably already knows.

    That’s my first thought!

     

    For a while I almost expected Jim to take the Commanders Job- only because his Brother is 30 miles away- and it appears that Family means everything to those Brothers.

    Since we kicked Frank Reich when he was down, does this mean it’s Sirianni’s turn now? So was it Sirianni or was it Steichen??

     

    Just goes to show you anyone can have a bad year or two. Let’s show some grace.

    Eagles lost their OC and their DC. Now they’re struggling

    I hate this time of year…weather sucks, and seems like people close to me die in Dec/Jan/Feb….just lost a great friend unexpectedly to a heart attack, and lost one of my best friend to suicide last year around this time.

    My condolences. I lost my Mother in Law in Feb 2019 and my Mom 11 days later.  I used to haul caskets. More people DO die in Winter than Summer. The Flu, car wrecks, Depression/Suicide, and the Eldery just aren’t strong enough to fight the cold.

    Don’t forget we should actually be at 9 wins if not for the refs against Cleveland.  I think this roster is actually better than we thought.  I sum it up to coaching.  We look much closer to the team from 2 years ago than last years team with largely the same roster all 3 seasons. 

    I see it as the Refs blew it in the Cleveland game, but also blew it , giving us the win in the Ravens game on Speed’s probable interference. So we’re 8 wins either way. In the end, we are what we are. Bad enough to struggle to beat Carolina and New England- but good enough to have gone toe to toe the NFL’s best teams.

    My question to the other poster was specifically about watching racing for the wrecks. 

    In Open Wheel Racing, wrecks can kill people.  But in NASCAR, whenever certain drivers are in the top 3-6 for the last lap, every NASCAR fan knows a 15 car pileup is about to happen. And that those certain drivers will do whatever it takes to get the win.  I don’t like it. But almost every NASCAR fan I know loves ‘Rubbin is Racin!’

    ORIOLES?  Baltimore resident?

    Born there in 1954. Raised 40 miles north in Pa, listening to Chuck Thompson do play by play on WSBA and WBAL. The night I got engaged, we went to Memorial Stadium and watched Jim Palmer beat the Rangers.   Moved to Indiana in 1980. (My Wife is a Hoosier!) My Mom sent me the Sports Pages from Balt Sun, Balt News American, York Gazette, and York Daily Record. Colts followed me to Indiana in 1984.

    I was hoping for us to be like the Reds this past season and so far, mission accomplished! A team that’s super young but competitive! 

    That was my Orioles last year. Basically, a Truple A team playing in the Majors. This year, best record in the American League. Look out next year!  Now I’m hopeful for my Colts to duplicate what the Os have done!

    Hey, since you bumped this from 3 months ago, just wanted to say I stand by what I said on September 6th (see above). 6-9 based on how a few close games went - Ravens, Titans road game went our way and here we are, on the cusp of 9. 

     

    I hope I eat my words for the bolded above because it is NOT OK, to not have double digit wins, now that I am tasting the cusp of playoff football, LOL :) 

    I really did think we might beat the (I thought lowly) Texans at home, and struggle to win a second game the entire season.  Man am I glad to admit being WRONG!!!!!!

    Not my fav player but I always try to see what he is doing when the Titans play...is Nick Westbrook-Ikhine because he is married to my good friend's cousin!  He played at I.U.

    But I was one of those that wanted Will Levis here so I kind of follow him.  He is a wild man! lol

    I definitely wanted Levis here! (But I’m a Penn St fan and watched him there before he transferred).  I believe that, in five years, he and AR will be the same good NFL QB, but for now- I see Levis as 2-3 yrs ahead of AR in development.  Had the Colts drafted Levis, I believe we’d be challenging for the AFC South Title.

     

    As to the Titans- our home is divided. I’ve been a Colts fan for more than 65 yrs! My Youngest and his Children  are a Titans family. Lots of discussion when we play each other!

    I think Minshew returns to the Colts.   I think he gets signed to a deal of roughly 2 years and 10-12 million TOTAL.   $5-6 mill per.   

    I also believe he realizes he survives because of Steichen’s playmaking. Gardner, left to his own, eventually gets figured out by NFL Defenses.  He followed Steichen here, and I think he stays and realizes his niche is a really good Back-Up.

    Yeah I get it. I think the helmets are probably all really good these days. 

    Quite the advancement since I played H.S. In 69-71. Then the helmet was a piece of plastic with a rubber strip snapped in the front, back, and top. Passed down from year to year.   As the Center, I pushed a fat kid onto the Guard next to me, and the Guard’s helmet broke in half.
