I can’t see anyone ‘resting’. It’s win or go home, and Titans have only lost one home game. Kelly plays- Colts Win; Kelly sits, I doubt Colts survive. And I’ve been a Colts fan since the 1950s.

Ok here’s a question that might illustrate it better:
Runner is moving towards the goal, is stopped, then on a second effort reaches across with the ball and it breaks the plane. Touchdown?
I'm guessing it depends on the Ref's Judgement of when Forward Progress was stopped, and if there was a whistle blown. In Swope's case, the Ref was winding his arm to keep the clock moving almost before Swope landed.

IDK why we don't just Coby Fleener...can't see him being worse than Swoope, Cox, or Hewitt.
I thought his head is still messed up from concussions??? I expect him to retire, while he can.

Outside of the 4th quarter against Miami, Colts have played awful for two straight games.
Since Kelly went down. Boehm tried, but he was blocking Campbell..... Luck had no time today

He knew better to do that against Luck because his reputation as a dirty player would've went over the top. It was funny because he wanted to cream Luck and then held up with his arms out
. He knew not to cross that line 
If I remember right, that play was ruled that Flacco went into his slide too late, and there was no penalty or dirty play. Flacco was ruled a running back, eligible for tackling.
Sorry, should’ve used Alex’s post for responding...
(edit) The NFL later fined him $9115.00 for the hit, per Wikipedia.

Was it just me or did Braden Smith have a bad game?
Not just the sack but it seemed like all the pressures came from his man.
He was downfield leading the RB on most running plays (on my TV screen)

Anybody on this board remember Dickerson on a Halloween night vs Denver ? ……….. I found an article about that game on the internet...….Here's some of it >>>>>>> "We could do nothing to stop Eric Dickerson. He was outstanding."
-- Broncos' head coach Dan Reeves Also from the article >>>>> It was a record-setting night, both individually and for the team: Dickerson's four rushing TDs tied Earl Campbell's MNF single-game record, and the 55 points were the most ever scored in a Monday Night game, a record that still stands. Dickerson also broke the Colts' team record of three rushing touchdowns in a game. Article link >>>>>>>> http://www.espn.com/abcsports/mnf/s/classic/denind88.htmlSomewhere, I have it on cassette

The Colts are bucking their history of aerial attack of Unitas/Berry
and Manning/Harrison. We are now switching to smash mouth lines
and stout defenses.
Although it is still a work in progress but we can see the new direction
the team is heading.
Unitas era Colts ran 65-75% of the time. Lenny Moore made the NFL's 50th Anniversary team. Their OLine opened huge holes, and their D was unmovable

My Cowboys Mt Rushmore would be:
Emmitt Smith/Roger Staubach/Bob Lilly/Tom Landry.
No disrespect to Troy but Lilly deserves to be on IMO.

There is something about changing the name of the team, and that points up an interesting contrast between Indianapolis and Nashville. The fans in Indy still recognize the history and the accomplishments of the greats who played in Baltimore, but the fans in Nashville barely even acknowledge that their team was once called the Oilers. I don't think many of them even know who Warren Moon and Earl Campbell are. It's as though everything about the Oilers died when the team moved. Kinda sad.
I think that's today's generation. It's logical. They never knew the old. I'm guessing most under 25 year old Indy fans couldn't name a Baltimore Colt unless maybe Unitas?????? I grew up near Baltimore, and I can't name a St Louis Brown, let alone a Dallas Texan.

I hear what you are saying but what if Marvin didn't kill anyone just to play devil's advocate? He was never convicted of anything. Even with OJ he just got convicted of kidnapping and theft a few years ago. So should the Lakers just ignore Kobe's career because he was accused of rape but it didn't even go to court? or should the Ravens ignore Ray Lewis's career because of what happened with his incident? Some people believe Lewis helped kill those guys. Lewis is clearly the Greatest player in Ravens history.
Recognizing sports accomplishments is one thing. Putting uncleared wrongdoers in the HOF, or on a Ring of Honor, or a Mount Rushmore, is Immoral, teaching our kids wrong Values, and what is wrong with our Nation, in my Opinion. Try being accused of illegalities at your work, and tell me how "honored" your boss values you...
Guess we just have to disagree.

I will agree nothing is worse than murder but you have to go by what the player did on the field when ranking them. That would be like saying OJ isn't the best RB in Bills history because he killed 2 people allegedly. OJ was clearly the best. Thurman Thomas stayed out of trouble and was Great but that doesn't mean he was a better player than OJ.
I drive a truck. I've driven over 4 million miles safely and have been honored by the Indiana Motor Truck Association as one of the 12 best in Indiana. If I murder someone I Guarantee all those honors get thrown away. That's Reality. I love sports but to honor a possible murderer is beyond stoooooopid.

Good thing voting for HOF isn't based on off-field issues (I'm sure it is to some extent) or Marv probably would have had to wait longer. I think he should have been first-ballot, based on what he did on the field.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Harrison
Look at these records from Marv:
Most receptions in a single season with 143, set in 2002

Most games in a single season (2002) with at least 6 receptions (15), 7 receptions (12)-broken by Antonio Brown, 8 receptions (12), 9 receptions (10)-tied by Julio Jones, 11 receptions (5)
Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning currently hold the NFL record for most completions between a Wide Receiver and Quarterback with 953.

On December 18, 2006, Marvin Harrison and Indianapolis Colt teammate Reggie Wayne became the only NFL wide receiver tandem to catch 75 receptions and 1,000 yards in 3 straight seasons. The game was on Monday Night and was played against the Cincinnati Bengals.
On November 17, 2002, made his 600th career reception against the Dallas Cowboys

Most consecutive games with an 8+ yard reception (177), (192 if counting playoffs)
Being an uncleared suspect in a murder should cancel everything until hes cleared. Sports is fun but it shouldn't cancel murder

I respect your opinion as you have seen alot more Football then me but Marvin was the total package, he had Great hands like Berry and Reggie but was faster than both which made him more dangerous as a deep threat. Marvin was more of a complete WR = Hands and Speed, JMO. I have seen film on Berry. Berry and Reggie are very similar.
I realize I'm biased, I think Berry and Wayne were better. I also can't vote for a guy whose handgun was found in his possession, fired in a shooting that led to an unsolved murder outside Marvin's bar. This appears like the Patriots tight end case to me...

Let's muddy it up more. The Baltimore Colts were at one time the Dallas Texans.
So who owns that history? Dallas, Houston Texans or Indianapolis Colts.
In between they were the Miami Seahawks. That's where the blue and white came from.

Most who wouldn't recognize them as the same are older, bitter Baltimore fans
I was born in Baltimore in 54. Moved to Indy in 80. The biggest betrayer was BOB Irsay who kept making promises to Baltimore while drunk, then 180 degrees when sober. It's only my opinion, but I believe the move was needed because of the TV contract (Baltimore Blue Laws made the Colts the only 2pm game, and most of the nation missed it) and the NFL wanted BOB faded out and young Jimmy Irsay faded into being in charge.
Jimmy has become one of the very best owners as building/ running a franchise. Contrast with BOB, who acquired the Colts as 1971 World Champions, and thru tightwadded stinginess, refusing to pay players, dropped the team to 2-12 by 72.
I think every moved franchise should always leave their mascot and history behind. The Baltimore Orioles moved in 1906 and became the NY Highlanders, eventually the Yankees. The St Louis Browns moved to Baltimore in 54 and became the Orioles. That solves these discussions.
I've seen and been a fan of both Colts franchises. The best 4 are 1:Unitas, 2: Lenny Moore (both those were on the All NFL 50th Anniversary team, so they HAVE to be on Colts Mt Rushmore!) 3: Peyton, 4: Raymond Berry. Berry wasn't fast, but he had the best hands ever as a Colt. 2nd best hands were Reggie Wayne's, and since that makes Marvin 3rd best hands, he cant make the 4th place on Mt Rushmore.

I bet you didn't hear much about concussions"back in the day". They probably didn't happen
They were rarely recognized. Even in high school, (late 1960s)they woke me up, told me I was fine, since I was the only center. I had 3, and I never played higher than high school. Imagine in college!?!?
Pros would never admit they had seen stars. Stumble to the sideline, sniff some ammonia, and back in they went. That's why so many struggled in life afterward.
