My first game at LOS was in 2008 vs. the Bears for the grand opening regular season game. That night was a little strange. I just had the sense that the fans weren't really into the game because so many of us were just checking out the new stadium and whining and moaning about our new seat locations, plus the Bears did a good job of taking us out of the game.
I bet if you go to one of the remaining games this year the atmosphere will be pathetic. LOS is a great modern stadium, the seats are comfortable and it is an interesting place just to look at, but with that being said, the atmosphere is pretty terrible compared to the dome. The place is too big, I got moved from the 10th row of the upper level in the dome, which were great seats, and got moved to the 600 level at LOS. The 600 level is ridiculously high and you are so far away from the action that you feel really detached from the game on the field, as opposed to the dome when everyone was right on top of the field.
Even the best "atmosphere" games at LOS, like New England in 2009 were nothing compared to the games in the dome.

do myou kinow what tebows record as a starter was last year
I believe it was 1-2. Including a 21 point comeback against Houston in which he threw for over 300 yards.

I understand (and remember from the old dot-com) that you hate the Patriots, and yes... to an extent, the 2007 season was all about Belichick giving the finger to the entire football-watching world. Let me ask though, what would you have done in that situation? If all of a sudden people who want to see you fail start calling out and questioning everything you've spent your entire life working toward? A 19-0 season with a 4th title would have cemented his legacy and Brady's, and would have created a "no disputing it" claim on the best single-season ever.
And you may be right about the fate of the 2011 team. I don't know. I'm sure not terribly confident in that defense. But as any Colts fans should know... anything is possible. It wasn't exactly Manning leading the postseason charge in 2006.
It didn't matter what Belichick did in 2007. There is already a huge asterisk next to all of his accomplishments from prior to 2007.

Why is it beyond comprehension? ALL of the analysts have been saying that we are at best a 3 win team without Manning for years. I'm very disappointed but not surprised.
I'm not really surprised, it is just shocking to see a team that has had so much success be so terrible so suddenly. Also, I would argue that there is a pretty big difference between going 3-13 and 0-16

IMO this is simply a stupid idea ... 1) IF Peyton is damaged goods we will get nothing for him. 2) By the looks of it, theres really not going to be any way to show that he is not damaged goods until next season.
This.
No one is going to give up a significant draft pick for a 36 year old coming off his 3rd neck surgery. If he is healthy, the Colts have to keep him because they will have a heck of a better chance of winning a Super Bowl with PM for the next 3 years then they would while trying to develop Luck.
-
I totally disagree that we are or will be considered one of the worst teams in history if we go 0-16.... IMO this just goes to show you how narrow a margin there is between winning and losing in the NFL.
This team has a lot of talent on it even with all of our injuries - things just havent went our way this year. I was really hoping for a better performance today, maybe once we have the top picked sealed maybe they will come out and play to win a game.
We would only be the 2nd team to go 0-16 ever, we would go down as one of the worst ever. We haven't even been competitive in a long time.
-
I always suspected that if we lost Peyton for a season we would have a very hard time winning even one game, but now that it is actually happening, it is stunning to see. We are really getting close to being 0-16 and going down as one of the worst teams, if not the worst team in NFL history. With all of the success that this team has had over the past decade that they would just roll over and not even compete, not win one single game is so completely ridiculous that I don't even know what to think. I know we have some good players, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis are the best pass rushing combo in the NFL, we have Reggie Wayne, Jeff Saturday and so much veteran leadership in that locker room that the though of going 0-16 is almost incomprehensible.
I think this year shows why we have gone one and done so many times in the playoffs. Not only has this team been extremely flawed for the last decade, but we really don't have as much leadership as we though and we have zero intangibles outside of #18.

You cant lose 'em all, can you?
The Detroit Lions already proved that it is possible, but just for good measure we want to remind everyone that it can be done.
-
Ok...I'll agree with you.. he lifts everyone spirits..but who actually physically performs?
If Fox would actually take the reigns off of him all game and let him run his high tempo style for the whole game his stats would look a lot better.
-
I've never seen a group of people like Tebow supporters give no credit at all to the rest of the team... IMHO Tebow was bad today. His team carried him to victory and the defense forced the fumble when Chicago was in FG range in OT.
You don't get it. He is never going to be a guy that throws for 400 yards and 5 touchdowns but he lifts everybody in that organization. Look at that team when he plays then look at that team when he doesn't play, it is undeniable that he lifts that team emotionally and makes them believe they can win every time.
He took over a 3-10 team last year and they went 2-1 when he took over.
This year he took over a 1-4 team and they have gone 7-1 since he took over.

Did anybody see Ditka just rip Merril Hodge on Countdown this morning? Hodge has probably been Tebow's biggest critic and Ditka just ripped him to his face this morning LOL.

I don't see being courteous to others and refraining from personal insults as being lala land. In the real world people interact and get along. In the virtual world this is also possible.
The Colts own this board. It is owned by a private organization, therefore they have the right to run it the way they see fit.
I don't think they ask too much of their fanbase to set the same standards that the organization asks of all involved with it.
like Fili Moala (DIU)? Like Dede Dorsey (carrying a handgun without a permit)? Like Dom Rhodes (DIU)? Like Taj Smith (DUI)? Like Pat McAfee (swimming in the canal)? Or my personal favorite, Bill Polian who beats up opposing teams employees?

http://www.nfl.com/v...-Peyton-Manning
Here, he states that the Colts team is below avg. without Peyton
This year just continues to prove how great Peyton has been. Of all the quarterbacks in the "GOAT" discussion, none of them had to deal with the ineptitude around them like Peyton has had to deal with.
-
They let him walk as a free agent because he was coming off of a serious shoulder injury and a lot of people weren't sure he was going to be able to completely recover and play at a high level again.
-
Jim Irsay gets a bad rap from a lot of people on here. A lot of people bash him for using Twitter as much as he does, implying that it somehow takes away from doing his job as CEO of the Colts. That is a joke.
-
Please know that no one is holding you hostage here.
A simple "google" search may help you find a message board that is more to your liking.
I was simply stating my opinion that this forum is like lala land.

Philly has to be the worst...the horror stories I've read and heard. Opposing fans being beat unconscious in restrooms, dumping beer on visiting fans....remember the Vet had its own jail? That says a lot right there. I went on to their message board before the game against them last year just to have a civil debate and ended up getting death threats if I were to ever come to Philly....granted it's anonymous interwebs tough guys, but you don't see that crap on here. And this was on the Eagles' official fan forum. Just terrible. Intimidating? Wrong word....disgusting and classless thugs? Sure (I know not all Eagles fans are like this, but the bad ones make whole fanbase look terrible)
While receiving death threats is over the top and completely disgusting, this message board is like playing CandyLand inside of a * house.

The 05 playoff game against the Steelers was terrible. My teacher had a poster in her room of "the tackle". I looked at the photo everyday with anger. It saddened me Nick got tackled only by his shoelaces.
That play was unreal. When Manning got sacked I left my seat and started to leave the game. I was heading down the stairs, my brother and my dad were already ahead of my but I turned around to see one more play, assuming Pittsburgh was going to punch it in, but then that play happened. It was surreal. The emotion roller coaster of that game was incredible. I still can't believe that Harper, even with a stab wound, couldn't make Roethlisberger miss. And then the anti climactic field goal by Vanderjerk, I watched that kick with a sick feeling in my stomach, because it was so far right that I knew it never had a chance.
-
Gosh darn it, another correctable error.
-
Again subjective more than objective....
We couldn't even fill up LOS for a playoff game.
-
Found this link kind of interesting. 321 NFL players were asked who the most Intimidating Fans are.........
How the heck are the Colts at #6? We have to softest fan base in the NFL. Most of our fans are having tea and crumpets on the concourse during the game.
-
I think John Fox deserves Coach of the Year for being willing to coach to his players strengths rather than force them to be what they are not unlike a bad coach who makes Painter and Orlovsky try to be Peyton Manning.
John Fox is holding Tebow back. Sure, he's run a few option plays a game but if Fox was smart he would get Tebow into an up tempo, shotgun offense.
-
Jim Caldwell is not a good coach but I don't give him a lot of the blame for this year. Polian deserves more of the blame. Caldwell was brought in to not crash the Peyton Manning led car. When Peyton Manning isn't here, Caldwell can't even keep the car on the road.
-
Because in the NFL players and owners do not give a rat's butt about the fans. They only care about the fans when the fans are emptying their wallets to buy season tickets, merchandise, etc. When it is the offseason, the players and owners don't have one minute to waste on us peasants.
Does Polian Have Dementia?

One week the defense needs major overhauls, the next it is working just fine. One week Caldwell is the man and doing a great job, the next he needs to win a game to keep his job. Either the guy is a delusional clown or he is suffering from dementia or some other medical condition.
