Yes, they do and they were right about Andrew Luck and they are going to be right about Clowney too. He is going to the perfect team with a good defense in place and the best defensive player in football playing with him. Yes, he will need to work on technique but that size, speed and strength will reek havoc on some teams and some QBs.
Like Blake Bortles ;)

Personally I don't like players that trash talk. IMO, they should let their play do their talking for them.
That being said, if this quote was a from a player the Colts were likely to draft, many of the fans on this forum would be praising that player and saying things like, "that is the kind of fire this defense needs." or "That is the attitude that has been missing from this D since Mike Curtis..."
That's why I like Watt so much. No trash talk, he just gets it done on the field. I think he'll rope Clowney in a bit as far as the attitude goes. But I STILL think he's overrated.

100% agree.
Me too. And from his actions, Grigson does too.

Pagnano.
I was wondering when I clicked on the thread "I wonder if he'd be better than Chuck." -
Denver game. I had the pleasure of being there, and was seated above the endzone where the safety happened. The atmosphere was electric. And the montage had people in tears (including myself).

Nice on Costliest Injury. I I was deciding him or Wayne. What would have happen if Ballard never got injured? We would still have that first round pick and might have push deeper into the playoffs. I must disagree with you on Team MVP though. Brown deserve biggest surprise player but not team mvp. Luck overall did more for the team. He always bail out the team and get us the W in the win column.
Yeah I was torn on team MVP between DB and Luck. And when I saw your avatar I regretted not finding a spot for Da'Rick

Yep. If we can get players the caliber of Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, and Bobby Wagner we'de have a great defense.
Problem is saying that is a lot easier than doing it.
Whelp, back to Madden for me.

He's more than likely correct. Last night was just one game, but the NFC was the stronger conference this year and I'm pretty sure it wasn't all that close.
Especially that West Division. Arguably the most powerful in football this year.
But yeah I had the same sort of feeling about the NFC Championship Game this year as people had about the AFC Championship Game in 2006. Both games were arguably "the Super Bowl".
-
He has his moments, but I just don't see it consistently. Is it time to look for his replacement and let him walk after next yr if he's still inconsistent?
To be fair, the coaching staff said that he had a great season all year long, and I think most fans would agree with that assessment. He and Gosder were great on the line this year.
-
Sorry Robert wasn't the DPOY. Luke shouldn't have won, but it wasn't Robert either.
Marvin isn't in the Hall of Fame because he has to wait his turn. Just like every WR waiting in line. He isn't snubbed. He is just stuck in a log jame for the position.
Dungy isn't a Hall of Fame head coach.
Lance Stephenson is the only real snub.
Lance really REALLY got snubbed. I hope he's Finals MVP.
-
I already saw this. These media people/ analysts for some reason just don't talk about him the way they do Watt, Sherman, Kuechly, and Quinn. It's okay, next year when he puts up 25 sacks they'll be forced to give him the award. We Colts fans are the ones that truly know the difference he made on the field every game.
The most frustrating thing is I guarantee you if Freeney had put up the same exact stats as Mathis, he would have won it. It's one of those things where Mathis isn't as "known". Yes he was voted to the Pro Bowl, but regardless.
-
Don't get me wrong, I like JJ Watt.... but he didn't TOUCH the season he had last year. And yah, I'm annoyed that Mathis wasn't mentioned. Not surprising though.
-
In defense of Samson.... that EBlack guy saying that he's watched every Colts snap since he was 7 years old doesn't make him an expert at playing professional football. The kid is probably 10 the way he's arguing with Satele. But on the other hand... Satele is keeping it going..... ugh. I'm done.
-
It is going to be a great Super Bowl. I think if Manning stays clean, the Broncos win. If the Seahawks get any INTs, they win the game. 24-20 one way or the other.
-
As cliché as it sounds, any given Sunday. We made it to the "Elite 8" if you will. In the Playoffs, it's anybody's chance.
-
Why do people get so worked up over anything other people say about their football team? I'm more worried about burnt popcorn.
Ugh... nothing worse than burnt popcorn.

Ive been to 5 different cities to watch colts play away games. All have been great experiences except Gillette stadium. Ive been to 3 Colts /Patriots games there and I wont be going back. I see alot of posters saying thats not the case but from my experiences it absolutley is. That place is the toiletbowl of the nfl as far as im concerned. Ive sat in several great spots there and drunken fans have taunted my friends n my family so bad its ridiculous. The last time we went they started taunting my wife. After the 3rd time they threw beer on her I took matters into my own hands. Thats all I will say about that. We had to leave quickly to keep from getting into any trouble but no one assaults my wife who wasnt saying a word, just trying to watch a football game. We now travel to tenn and and jacksonville every season. Fans there are way more respectful. Gillette stadium ...not so much.
Wow, that is horrendous. I'm glad you were able to make it out unharmed after all that!
I knew that my one experience at Gillette could not be a fluke; I understand where I sat could be raucous (nosebleeds) but to hear you say that three different occasions at Gillette yielded similar results has me convinced. Another thing that makes me chuckle about the location of my seats is that I was in the nosebleeds at the Luke for the Broncos game, and not once did a Broncos fan get beer thrown at them or threatened with violence. Different strokes for different folks I guess!
I know what you mean about respectful Jags and Titans fans-- there were one of each that I ran into while at Gillette and they both went out of their way to give me a high five on the way out of the stadium (we were on our way down the ramps out of the building after the game ended). Call it a little AFC South solidarity
-
Because they should have what we in the real world call "perspective."
To use a small sample of drunken fans from the cheap nose bleed seats at Gilette for an 8pm playoff game on a Saturday that just encourages more consumption of alcohol before and during the game as a representation of an entire region that is made up of millions and millions of people just shows a lack of perspective. It also hints at an ulterior motive, which in this case is to paint NE fans as the worst in the league.. which also just shows their ignorance.
I have not, nor have any of my family or friends, been rude or obnoxious towards opposing fans. We have tailgated and invited rival fans to drink beer and eat food with us. Sure, there is some friendly ribbing and jabs, but its all done in jest and never in a way that is meant to make someone feel uncomfortable.
Here is a breakdown that should give some perspective:
1) You went to a PLAYOFF game on the road at a rival teams stadium
2) You bought tickets in the nose bleeds, which are generally the cheaper tickets and attract more trouble makers, because security will only go into the stands if there is a fight breaking out.. they have a much higher presence in the lower sections.
3) It was a Saturday game at 8:15pm, so people had been drinking all day long in the parking lott and didn't have to wake up and go to work the next day... this just encourages more excessive drinking
4) You were wearing your Colts gear
Sure, it sounds like you ran into some real * bags.... I live here, I run into * bags all the time that are horribly rude , etc... but they do not represent the entire demographic... New England is one of the most educated regions in the United States and the cost of living here is way up there.. but its still a city, and in cities you get the lower class as well and everything in between.
Nah, as I've said multiple times on this thread (including my initial post) was that I know that my experience didn't reflect all Patriot fans.
To call me "ignorant", even though I initially stated my understanding that those clowns did not reflect ALL Patriots fans just shows that you did not read my entire post. I appreciate the response though, and on the slim chance that I'll ever return to Gillette, you sound like the kind of guy I'd buy a beer for.
-
neither is that guy in New England and he seems to have worked out just fine.
Very true! -
Say what you want about the guy: he has heart, he defeated cancer, his players love him, has a great reputation, etc. But you have to admit that it doesn't seem that he has the fire and "kill em" attitude of a Belicek, Sean Payton, Harbaugh, etc. I honest think we will always be contenders with Pagano. But it's hard to see us winning the SB with such a passive coach.
In the future I'd like us to target a Gruden, Cowhler, Tomlin, or Saban even
Tony Dungy wasn't really a fiery guy either. Really, I would say Pagano is much more passionate than Dungy ever projected. I think Chuck has what it takes.

How is calling me immature not a personal shot?
But honestly, your post "essay" did not bother me that much. My responses were to another poster who was climbing on your post as evidence that Pats fans are somehow not as classy as Colts fans. But then in fairness the poster clarified and somewhat retracted. I don't doubt your experience or that Pats fans can be boorish but you had some statements in there that were touting the Colts fanbase over the Pats fanbase that will draw the ire of your rival especially when the Pats did just beat the Colts in a playoff game. Your post screams of sour grapes given the timing and all, just being honest which I think you can gather from many of the responses but overall the discussion has been good about how to handle yourself at stadiums. As I have said repeatedly, you mix alcohol with a violent sport and you get lousy behavior regardless of the city. I am sorry your experience was so lousy but where you sat probably had as much to do with it as anything.
No worries man. For the record, though, I never "called you immature".
-
^Wasn't there.
Knows OP had it coming.
ESPN called with an analyst job offer!I'm all tapped out of "likes" for the day, so I had to quote
-
It's funny what people will try to hang their hats on to make themselves feel better. Like I said, confirmation bias is an incredible phenomenon.
I'm enjoying the collective beating of the chests here, with posters exclaiming that they, along with the Colts fanbase, are classy, mellow and hospitable. More generalizations.
Keep telling the world how great you are. Class is whispered, never screamed. ;)

Yeah I heard the Jags wanted him for over a year now. Good for them for landing their guy!
