  1. I was one of those that lobbyed not to get rid of PM because we had lost to much perspective. We were a team that ended last season with 18 of 22 of the same starters that we had just 2 years ago in the SB and that was with NOT having 18 as one of those 18.

    This kid better be as good as advertised or 3 years from now we will wonder what PM could have done with weapons like he had never before.

  2. At 87% retention you are lossing 13% of your customers (i.e. fans) each year. That means in 5 years you have lost over HALF of your current customers and are relying upon new clients (i.e. fans) to fill those seats. The stadium is around 63K in seats, 13% of that is about 8000, or in other words the current waiting list. Thus if the trend continues we are talking blackouts in 2 years. In 2008 we were at around $25,000 on the list (first year Lucas Oil). In 2010 that dropped to around $16,000. You simply have more leaving thru the back door than you can shovel in the front door.

    I just feel like Irsay has to see the math and has bet the farm on this. I just hope he's right.

  3. I see it as 2 completely different seasons: regular and playoff. I believe once you get to the dance anything can happen and more opporunties you have the better things will come your way. We were only a handful of plays from 2 SB's or for that matter you can make the argument that if Nick Harper runs down the sideline (or did not get stabbed in the leg the day before) we would have had 3 SB's.

  4. Is he expected to the play the nickle? Thats a lot of experience back there. You would expect them to want to play a fast pace, score as much as you can type of game and it will come down to stopping the other team when they HAVE to throw. Remember those days? :)

  5. I never saw the OP game, so I watched that tape without looking at the score. I would like to see him get his stance/feet placement a little tighter or more compact b/c the pockets aren't as big in the NFL, but from the throws I saw some really good descision making. To me watching that tape you had too many keys drops and missed blocking assigments to ever expect to win against the best.

  6. Hey MAC, sure I see some rudeness, but I just take that as part of life. You cant please everybody and there will always be somone that does not like you just because of their perspective. I probaby have people that dont like me just because of my avatar.

    I guess maybe its thicker skin, but I just assume that we are not all friends and people fight. I dont have a problem with that, its just words, nobody is sticking a gun to my head.

  7. If I ask a common person is the table in front of you flat they will say yes.

    If I ask a forensic scientist is that table flat he will say no, under the microscope it has peaks and valleys.

    If I ask a particle physicist is that table flat he will say it does not exist, its just a bunch of atoms all sharing the same space.

    Why point to this is EVERYTHING is a matter of perspective. I just dont see all the rudness.

  8. Do any of you see us ever going back to a no huddle offense like we had with Peyton? I'll be the first to admit, I know very little about Luck or any other prospects, because college football doesn't interest me. From what I have heard, he is incredibly football smart. It just makes me wonder lol.

    I would love to see more of that up tempo, snaping with 15 on the clock, other team cant sub, well oiled machine. But that takes time, which I guess we are going have a lot of now.

  9. I cant believe this is even still debateable? Can someone please pull some of those Irsay quotes after we knew he had the #1 Overall and post them? We can then all mosty agree on the validity of them.

    I would still rather due business with someone on a handshake. How can you say one thing publicly but professionally act another? Why were the only answers we were ever given was something in the range of "salary cap" and "circumstances"? THAT is the best you got? Then to me those are some serious question marks.

    Maybe he does hold a crystal ball that many of us cant see, if he does please enlighten me why we just got rid of our best chance to win?

  10. JoKeR, yes I really believe what we are seeing is Irsay's vision, at least those are the words I first remember him saying after the season ended. I guess I just dont see it, I dont get giving up the NOW for the promise of the future?

  11. I dont care if Luck is the son of the Greek God Zeus, he will get toyed with, fooled, out flanked, out played and out thought. I see like Eli Manning in that rookie game of his against Baltimore wherein when he would call out the "MIKE" Ray Lewis and Ed Reed would move all around and start saying back to him "I"M THE MIKE". Flat out messed with him. I dont see us being any more than average for a number of years.

  12. If he really does get somewhere near a 5/95 deal I am going to be really upset. That means he IS ready to play and IS healthy!! Why didn't the Colts at least bring him back for 2 years? Why are the Colts trying to run an organization based on what happens 5 years from now? What about NEXT year? I get to watch a lot more lossing? Yepeeeeee!!!
