maybe the nba is a better example. Watching the bucks/Philly game, there were several foul calls that were challenged. Most, maybe all, of them were ruled incidental contact, that is what happens a lot on pass interference calls. All the nba players have learned to act as if they were blatantly fouled when really weren’t. Hopefully the incidental contact rulings will lessen this practice. Maybe expand the flopping rule?

I do think pass interference penalties should be reviewed like baseball does. I think it has been great for baseball! Those penalties change a game more than any other and have to be correct. I also think it was a huge mistake when the nfl got in bed with sports gambling! No sport should.they worry about the integrity of the game, but then get in bed with the people that could hurt the integrity just to make more money. The nfl doesn’t have any money issues that pushed them to do this, just greed.

lawrence Taylor did everything that you would think was bad for your body and it didn’t matter. A freak athletics is a freak athlete nothing will change that.

the colts have not gotten the pass rusher though, that’s where I wanted them to go the draft.

exactly my point! I said it in another thread, but didn’t want to repeat myself.

people thought New England gm/coach was the best thing since sliced bread for a long time. Well, how is that going now? There is a lot of luck involved in having success in the nfl!

i missed the vaccination post. I don’t see why someone choosing not to take an experimental vaccine that could cause harm is an issue! I don’t want to get into a vaccination discussion, just think it is a stupid thing to bring up.

because Ballard made Stewart take ped’s and tackled Richardson.

no, it was high level off-season training in Mexico and then some in china.😁

steroids lower your sperm count! Anything raising your testosterone levels will do the same.

that explains the warning better!

I have a hard time believing there is tainted fresh meat with ped’s. China imports a lot of meat from the USA, the chances of fresh meat from china is extremely low.

Every athlete has an excuse for trying to gain an advantage! Wasn’t Mathis saying some nonsense about trying to get his wife pregnant? There is a long list of top players that have gotten caught.

All the doom and gloom, and the colts are a playoff contender 1/3 into the season. Two loses were to a team some thought might have a chance at the sb. Won at Baltimore, that will probably win their division. People saying the coach is awful, well how’s that great coach in New England doing without a hall of fame qb? How many coaches are consistent winners without a top qb? If the colts can stay in the playoff race without a top qb, the team and organization has done a good job.

Colts out gained the jags 354-233, the -3 turnovers is what lost the game. Is that all on the qb? I didn’t see the game so I can’t comment on that. Was he under pressure and hurried throws because it it? I don’t know. The colts should be a running team with a very good line and two top rb’s that are better than any other team. But you have to keep at it, even if it doesn’t work every play and be a better screen team with those two top backs! That’s their strength, not qb or wr.

I wasn’t a fan of drafting him also for those same reasons, but was hoping I was wrong.

you stick with minshew!

I have said this so many times when everyone says Lewis was the best lb. He was very average when the goose wasn’t there occupying lineman and then whining about it! I never heard Lawrence Taylor complain about double and triple teams, he just beat them too, just not as fast!

yes, I saw the same thing and it didn’t get talked about. There is a good chance he doesn’t stop him cold without buck on his ankles.

but the colts have Taylor the great, according to most of the posters here.

I agree,and have said these things before, except for the part about always being better than Richardson. That may or may not be true, only time will tell. I do hope Richardson becomes a top qb, but all I have seen to date is a top athlete with potential.

I completely agree!! The owner makes these bad decisions because it has happened with other gm’s over the years. The best owners are the ones that let the football minds make the decisions, not their “fan thinking”. The bad contracts in the past were popular here with the colts fans.

most teams looking for a starting qb aren’t very good, so I don’t think that is a good situation for him. The colts team is playing well (better than most thought) that is a perfect situation for him, he doesn’t have to carry the team.

there is a big difference between being a mobile qb and a running qb. Qb’s that are running a lot by design, get hurt a lot. Mobil qb’s are avoiding defenders and if they get positive yards, it’s a extra.

and he is being payed how much???
