What's worse than 0-2, sitting out the playoffs.
-
This team could lose to Jax the way they are playing. Better wake up soon and anything less than the Playoffs is not acceptable. That's what 7-9 means to me. No playoffs.
-
Luck isn't going to win any Superbowls sorry to say. This is a team sport and he won't have the teams around him since the fools gold of the last 2 seasons is going to keep the current regime in place.
-
About time people admit that Brown is a good player. Earlier this year folks were blaming him for losses, but I don't see anybody blaming Trent for missing a key block forcing Pagano to bring Donald back in. I still maintain the trade doesn't make the team a contender, and the Colts already had good backs. The team is painfully average, thankfully I have been surprised by how crappy most other teams are this year.
-
Yeah, I noticed that he looked off. He looked like he was about to pass out. Not sure what's going on there but it doesn't look so good.
-
48-24 or something like that...we will see a motivated Peyton.
-
Be glad that the AFC south is a weak division because there's not much cause for optimism. Most troubling is the defense reverted back to how they played the first 2 games where they couldn't get off the damn field. If that Colts defense shows up then avoiding a 50 burger is the best bet.
-
Tony Dungy is absolutely right on this. This is about an owner who doesn't seem to realize how much worth Peyton gave to the team he owns. If anything Peyton was underpaid.

I understand that many seem to identify personally with Grigson and Pagano so they have more than the usual stake into the team but I'm still not on board with this move. It's not going to help win now. Running backs were not the reason the Colts lost the last game despite the rhetoric around here. Still going to lose to SF. Play calling is still going to be crap. For long stretches they seem to not be able to get into the right plays. Can't depend on Luck to be lucky winning so many close games. Just like last week, the law of averages is bound to show up. The defense can't get off the field.
I don't believe in Grigson, I think he's a good ole boy hire that's going to fall on his face. FYI, mediocre to me is being an average team with no shot to win the Superbowl. That's like most of the teams in the league. Luck is going to take a few years before he becomes elite, if he becomes elite. I'd love to be proven wrong but I'm not seeing it. Luck better throw to Reggie Wayne. He needs to be well fed. In the end, the results are going to be seen on the field.

I agree with amfootball, this move reeks of desperation. How is this team going to be a run first team with that Oline? I'm sure Colts management is thinking that if they slow the game down and run a ball control offense that will turn the tide. Good luck with that when the defense can't even get off the field. Getting Trent doesn't even help in the short term in winning some games. For sure going to lose the next one, and the panic will set in even deeper.
-
Too bad this game will show how far the Colts are from being a Superbowl contender. I'm expecting the Colts to get blown out. Luck in desperation will throw 2 INT's.
-
Once the losses pile up, the Colts will be a mediocre team. That is something most Colts fans are not ready for yet.
-
Miami definetly can beat the Colts, good thing Luck is lucky. Anyways, for me it comes own to a capable organization, and I am still not convinced the Colts have a good one to manage this team.
-
I agree with Fran, it is what it is, an opinion. I still have low expectations for this and in no way are the Colts a superbowl contender.
-
I'm just glad Donald Brown isn't going to get thrown by the wayside. Watching him play special teams is just wrong. I know he can shine.
-
I wanted to see more brown on the field anyways
-
Manning is my G.O.A.T., but to have less people questioning that overrall, he needs to win a Superbowl with the Broncos to solidify that opinion with everybody else. He'd be the only one to win a superbowl with 2 teams if that happened. Legacy is something that players shouldn't care about but they do. It's also a way to bring pressure to a player so that they'll possibly falter, like how people do Lebron James. Let them make their legacy first. Overally, it's just a distraction.
-
and the Colts narrowly avoided being embarassed at home. Just a win, but I want to see progress this year.
-
At this point it's misleading because Oakland's weak offense was driving the ball pretty well. Defense couldn't get off the field, that is annoying to watch. They need to shore that up immediately but not sure that's going to be done with mediocre talent.

This subject is very interesting, considering we are talking about Indiana, and how odd and funny acting they act when it comes to sports teams, that are frankly full of minorities. I saw it with the Pacers where the big fight with Detroit fans caused the organization to break up a good team only to wallow in mediocrity for a few years. Apparently in Indiana it is preferable to be a crap team with "class act" than to be good team some edgy players. Now the team has a bunch of no personality, humble, and nice players (to play as foils against the unfairly demonized Lebron James) that play hard and ask nothing in return. Big whoop. To me it's disgusting that hypocritical home town conservative evangelical christian values are forced onto players without one ounce of empathy of their circumstances, like when the players encounter the police for something. Conservative values that has Peyton Manning acting like he is humble and should not be mentioned with past greats when he breaks their records constantly. People fall for that crap? I understand why Petyon does it so I don't hold that against him, and his whole story about his work ethic and self made success (even though he was born wealthy) is great PR in this country, but come on!
Also, people getting upset when players have fun on the field and celebrate their good plays. They would rather them act stoic like Bellicheck, never showing any emotion, acting like a robot, giving stock answers in interviewers. Class act being defined by people with no personality, robots who show no emotion in public. I'd rather have somebody with some personality. And I won't even go in depth about stereotypes of minorities that enters into the equation or class/wealth issues. I'm sure some dissed Edgerrin James for being lazy for not going to the pre workout before the unofficial workout, that's before the official workout. Edge didn't even celebrate after he scores which is what people who say they value a class act want and he still got flack. I had a boss who called Tony Dungy lazy because he retired from coaching at the age of 57. I know these stereotypes are prevalent.
In other words, forget a class organization, I want a winning one. Colts were lucky to have a Tony Dungy who could take players in and have them on a path to success that benefits them and the organization.

People are not overreacting. Sure, a win is a win, but the goal is to win a Superbowl, and become more progressively dangerous to other teams in the pursuit of that goal. Seems that the Colts are as mediocre as they were last year without any signs of real progress. That is something to be concerned about. Can't expect to win 9 close games like last year to make the playoffs. Even though making the playoffs last year...the team had no shot to win the Superbowl. This year expectations, if last year wasn't a fluke, is to be Superbowl contenders. Frankly, I was surprised to see the Colts win so many games last year. Teams frequently regress with tougher schedules in the next year. Look at the Chicago Bears recent history.
I saw a defense that was very pourous against a weak offense. I saw really bad, conservative playcalling once the Colts got up 2 touchdowns, same as last year. Running game was nonexistent. What was Brown doing playing special teams. Maybe the coaches should trust Luck, and put the foot down and kill these teams. The team is going to have to learn how to win that way anyways
-
There's Brown haters? Outrageous
-
This thread disgusts me. I guess after the Colts go 2-2 or 0-4 to start this season maybe people will wake up
Amazing how talent all of the sudden makes a good coach.

Some of us have been saying this since Irsay started making decisions again. I wish I could find my posts about Grigson being a good ole boy hire, when the stakes are this high we shouldn't letting folks learn on the job with no prior experience. Pagano should've been sacked years ago though I wasn't as against him being here as I was Grigson. Grigson moved to the Browns front office, so he got a resume, we got nothing. Browns also looks like a bottom 5 team in the NFL right now.
