Someone created a thread about this game. A few of you are going. You can PM each other (send personal message here) and make a point to meet each other. It should be fun. I twice went to Colts games at Met Life Stadium. I asked a few people sitting around me if they were members of the forum. No one was. I went to a Vikings game at Met Life and met one of the members/writers of the Vikings site I follow. It was fun. Enjoy the game.

Thank you. I wonder if you do not have access to the polls. I put up a multiple choice poll up top. @csmoparonce told me that he had never seen a poll. I wonder if it is something with the settings. I think he was able to fix the problem..

I think that is what @2006Coltsbesteverwas doing too -- supporting a Colts player. I was a bit surprised how angry some became when some Colts fans said anything half-way negative about Levis. One would believe they would have that same level of emotion defending a player on the team they root for, not someone on an opposing team. I thought Levis played well despite ilthe interception. I thought Richardson played well in all his games. I have not seen Stroud. I have seen Young; he has not looked as good as the others but I believe he will improve. I hope my rookie QB (Jaren Hall) will show as much poise as the top four QBs taken. But he is a rookie.

That would be hilarious. Be sure to vote in the poll.

I thought Mike Vrabel might be the next Patriots head coach if the Titans let him go. I believe he is a good head coach, much more of a leader and head coach material than McDaniels. I am not a fan of O'Brien but he had success with the Texans. I can't see Kraft selecting McDaniels over those two.

I thought that and mentioned it earlier but he failed so miserably in each place. He did not even complete 2 full seasons with the Raiders. I think Kraft or anyone else would be making a mistake. He has never had success as head coach.

Do you think he gets hired again? The poll is up. @Zoltan @2006Coltsbestever@ @VikingsFanInChennai @Solid84@RollerColt @csmopar @Colt.45 @Dunk @Chrisaaron1023 @chad72@SR711 @shakedownstreet@Jared Cisneros@Dingus McGirt@NewColtsFan @Lancer1@PRnum1 @w87r Anyone else that I failed to mention...

Welcome back! I read about the investigation. How does one manipulate the IL? I hope the Mets go on a youth movement. Enjoy the offseason. Note: I removed comments from the last baseball thread and moved them to this thread (2004 Baseball). Off-season moves for the coming season are found in this thread. Here is a link to the 2023 Baseball Thread: 2023Baseball

Did you watch the Combine? Richardson's arm was on display. He looked great.

Does anyone think that McDaniels will be given another opportunity to be a head coach? I wonder if the Patriots will hire him to take over for Bill Belichick. I think it is likely. @Zoltan Would you mind it if I added a poll question to this thread?

Hopefully they give the interim head coach Antonio Pierce a greater shot than they did Rich Bisaccia. I thought I recognized the name Antonio Pierce. He played here, with the Giants. He was a leader when he was with the Giants. Do you think he can be a leader of men as head coach.

This is insane!! They would have saved a lot of money if they retained Rich Bisaccia. I wonder if insurance pays for this.

Are you saying that his accuracy and work ethic are reasons that he was not drafted higher? I would think Kevin O'Connell would have pressured the GM to draft his cousin if he is that good.

I guess Daniel Jones will play this weekend. If he does not, another rookie Tommy DeVito (undrafted) would start.

Wow. I wonder why the Vikes did not draft him? Fear of accusations of nepotism? He is the head coach's cousin. He is Kevin O'Connell's younger cousins.

I think we should keep it at the 4 QBs that had the chance to be drafted by the Colts. I don't think the Colts would have drafted Hall or O'Connell or Bagent. However, if many people want to add them, I guess we can. I think the thread will be too big. Btw, I think Clayton Tune will be the QB in Arizona now.

I meant these rookies will get better. I believe that. JMO. Give them time. I like them a lot.

People put too much value into volume stats without context. I'm not crazy about PFF but it gives you a more objective way to judge how someone played. So, I can appreciate it. Volume stats are just that -- volume stats that don't say how someone got those stats. I would rather a RB who gets positive yardage every carry rather than one that gets 80 yards on one carry and negative yards/short yards in all other carries. They both may get 100 yards, but the one that got positive yardage most of his carries is more efficient.

They are rookies. Fans are too critical of players, especially QBs. They will get better with practice and play.

No, that is not accurate. He played to win. I would rather someone throw an interception than keep the ball or make a safe play that is guaranteed to lose the game.

Didn't you see my comments in the game thread? I wrote that he played well and wrote what I thought he did well. I wrote it at least twice.

I think the problem that folks saw was that you did not seem to give Levis credit for playing well. The numbers did not show how well he played. That is why I don't like stats. They do not accurately show how someone played. Seeing him play showed that he is a competent NFL QB, as are the others. I think Richardson will be great, barring injury. The sky is the limit. But Levis could be very good too. It is okay to like more than one QB. Remember how much I loved Philip Rivers? I was alone cheering for him to go #1. I thought that highly of him. All three (Eli and Ben) turned out to be very good to great. I would still take Rivers over the other two but I was a big fan of Big Ben and I came to be a fan of Eli too.

I too thought Levis played very well. He has played well in both his games. While I agree with you when it comes to this, it does seem that you are overly upset that others disagree. There seems to be certain players/people that you advocate for more than others. Why not advocate the same way for AR, Pickett, Stroud? Stroud has played well too according to reports.

That is too young to be a father. Lol. I tell people "enjoy your youth". Having kids is wonderful but it is a huge responsibility. 19 is still a kid, IMO. I agree. It is important to look at how he played rather than the result. He played well. In that last drive, he played with urgency, understanding how much time he had on the clock and choosing plays with the clock in mind. He threw a pass to win the game. It did not work but he did not chicken out. He played to win. I like that. That does not mean he is the next great QB but it is a good start. I still like what I have seen from AR too and I think he has the potential to be great. I think we can appreciate other players even if they don't play for us.

You're a youngster. When I was 46, someone here called me a "Youngin". I guess that was his way of saying he was older. I think he was in his 60s. That youngin comment made me think everyone else was older. I did not realize then that I was one of the older folks.
