    The only team in the league that knows how to tackle is the Seahawks.  Every defense just dives at guys and hope they fall down

    And not to hijack the thread, but I really wish someone would explain that to me. I only played through high school, but I'd be running laps until the cows came home unless I used my arms and 'wrapped them up' when making tackles. You'd think the pros would be able to do more than take a dive at some guy and hope he falls down.

    It's amazing how 1 player can have an impact on a team but Andrew does. Andrew even affects the Defense as in they have less stress to stop teams and more rest with him in on Offense.

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't think a team should implode just because they lost one player; no matter who it is. I think the debacle we witnessed when Peyton was out and now this recent scenario with Luck is just evidence of bad coaching and bad front office.

    Securing  HOF and potential HOF quarterbacks should have provided us an opportunity to concentrate on building a well-rounded team that can soldier on when a highly talented player has to sit out.

  3.  Brady said it was the first time he was able to do the count with voice. The whole game was a silent count. I guess the 12th man (or men) were there the whole game.

     

    The "12th man" was in the bathroom trying to see through his tears long enough to slit his wrist. 

  4. Dear Abbey,

     

    A football game should be a pretty straight forward exercise for camera men. The whole event really only requires 3 or 4 different shots and none of them are ground angle.

     

    So, can anyone tell me why they insist on showing ground angle shots which are virtually meaningless on a television? Did someone see this done in their favorite movie and fall in love? Do we have Fellini's grandson directing the action? What gives?

     

    Signed,

  5. I think this forum has become a cesspool of negativity, who cares what head they call for. There is no basis of validity....only selfish whining.

     

    Amen.

     

    I remember many pre-Peyton years with a team so bad that the season was effectively over after the first 5 or 6 games and a 'good year' was when there were enough other teams so much worse than the Colts that we could effectively back our way into a wild card spot.

     

    Now, I have a team that has dominated their division for a decade, a team where a playoff spot is practically a given, and a team that has managed to replace a HOF quarterback with a youngster that is potentially of the same caliber. Panicking over a 1-2 start or a few set-backs reminds me of a spoiled kid throwing a tantrum because he didn't get a pony for his birthday.

  6. Really? I was hoping that Andrew was gonna say something in German for Rosetta Stone foreign language training software ...

     

    That would have been a good endorsement for Peyton. They could have shown a bunch of confused defensive players listening to Rosetta Stone's Peyton Manning tapes trying to learn what the heck he was saying at the line of scrimmage. :excited:

  7. Has any mock draft taken at any time in any year ever been correct?

     

     

    The problem with any process whether it is a mock NFL draft,  an investment choice, or anything else is that once you start mixing in a lot of 'expert' opinions you end up with something my people like to call FUBAR. Of course, this is only my (expert :banana: ) opinion.

  8. manning gave that game away

     

    I wouldn't say that; I think there was plenty of blame to go around, but after watching that game I do think moving on to Luck was the correct decision. I don't know  if it's just me, but Peyton really doesn't seem to have the same zip on his throws; that's a pretty subjective thing to say and maybe it was just a bad game or the cold weather, but I think Peyton's age might be starting to show.
