  1. http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=12343308

    For the Redskins next year.

    ""We'll go into the season with Robert as our No. 1 guy," Gruden said. "It's up to Robert to continue to grow and mature as a quarterback and as a person. Moving forward we want to see improvement. It's up to us as a staff to get more out of him."

    RG3 needs to do well next year or he's done as a redskin. The bonus/contract (18 mill I think? Or is that something else like his clause) is going to be the factor.

    Edit: I listened to Greg Cosell's take on RG3 a couple months ago and he said something relating to RG3's QB ability as if it's not going to work.

  2. Brady isn't retiring so your hypothetical question is moot. Every QB has a team that is an impediment to their dreams of Lombardi glory & NE is that roadblock. Andrew's gotta figure out a way to reduce interceptions against the Patriots. Against any other team, INDY can overcome turnovers. Not NE though. I think it's a mental thing Chewbacca needs to overcome personally.

    In order to reach the Promiseland, INDY needs to go toe to toe with NE & squeak out a win. Right now, the Patriots sit alone on the NFL mountain top. Once he does that, the sky is the limit for Andrew.

    Brady is retiring in 2-3 years so..........

    Plus I don't think Ryan has beaten NE yet. Can you hand that standard to him too?

    I'm sorry, teams go through highs and low, NE will be in the low soon. I don't consider them a requirement to be elite. Short term sure. Long term no. Seattle imo is.

  3. lol...this entire page seems to be about me, my motivations for being here, and whether or not I'm "wanted". It's all personal, off topic, and none of it is interesting to anybody but you two.

    Offtopic: It's not a insult though. Plus this is better than Deflate gate anyways. Deflate gate is boring and non story.

    Edit: Apologies to everyone in regarding to this story. Didn't mean to derail the thread that long.

  4. Here's how internet forums work...try to follow...people post stuff, right? Then what happens is that OTHER people read that stuff and either post a reply OR they don't if the topic doesn't interest them. For the weaker-willed types who would like to not reply but can't control themselves, there is an "ignore" function that acts as a substitute for the missing will-power. SO...with that hopefully helpful information, I hope you two gentleman can find a way to avoid my posts if you aren't interested in them. That would be far more civil than this ^ approach of violating the forum's rules and taking personal shots at fellow posters.

    Nah. This is curiousity of my stance and there are no personal shots coming your way actually.

  5. After reading this conspiracy theory, I have a better understanding of why you are buying into the absurd allegations against the Pats. Ask yourself this...do people need an "excuse" to come here? Is it required that one "pretend" to like the Colts? I routinely go to the forums of teams the Patriots play against because I'm much more interested in back and forth banter among rival fan bases than I am in a circle-jerk forum where everyone posts "Yeah! Brady!! Gronk!!!" and everyone else says "Yeah!!!! Pats RULE!!!". So I came here around the time of the AFC Championship game, the deflate-gate story broke, the topic is interesting, and here I am. And oh by the way, I happen to like the Colts.

    I hope that this very detailed and completely unnecessary explanation as to why I have chosen to post on this public internet message board will sufficiently answer ALL of your questions so that we no longer need to bore everyone to tears with this. While it may be true that most of my posts are on this deflated balls topic, I would say the the 2nd most frequent topic I seem to address is "Questions from SouthernCal about why I'm here".

    Dude, if Deflate gate hasn't existed, you wouldn't even be here. That's my initial point.

    >Deflate gate brokes out after pats beat colts

    >signed up that time

    >basically post about deflate gate and cheat related topics

    >coincidentally likes the colts

    okie dokie. seems legit

  6. I keep waiting for Matt Ryan to take a major leap forward but he hasn't yet. Maybe new HC Dan Quinn will finally raise Ryan's playoff poise & winning percentage in December & January.

    Elite QBs right now: Brady, Manning, Brees, Rogers. Luck needs to beat NE first before I move him up to the 1st top tier.

    Suppose Brady retires now, does Luck really needs to beat NE now?

  7. I'm here because there is a vibrant discussion here about a subject I'm very interested in. That tends to be why most people post in forums...new to the internet?

    Offtopic: Your content have the majority of your posts when it regards to the patriots with the term, "cheating".

    Will you admit to me that you are only here because you have a agenda against the team that the patriots were accused of cheating against? A team that you falsely said you "liked" as a excuse to even come here? If deflate gate hasn't exist, you wouldn't even be here. Because it looks obvious now.

    And will you celebrate/boast/gloat when the investigation goes your way towards certain posters who hate your team?

  8. Off topic...I like the Pats more, and I could care less about off-season rumors and moves they make. Why would I care about the moves of a team I have only a passing interest in?

    Offtopic: If you could care less about off season rumors and moves about a team you like, why are you here?

  9. Even the New York Post is jumping off the pitchfork and torch bandwagon. I'd say whatever hope haters were holding out here just got snuffed out with this new revelation about the league official stealing balls.

    http://nypost.com/2015/02/18/nfls-circus-deflategate-probe-turns-up-black-market-ball-thief/

    The official was supposed to take footballs out of play and send them to be auctioned off for charity. He was fired when it was discovered he had sold game-used balls on the side for his own gain, according to the report on “Outside The Lines.”

    “That was part of a pattern of behavior that exists in this particular individual that culminated in him working that game and trying to get another football,” reporter Adam Schefter said, attributing his information to anonymous NFL officials.

    The official’s scheme was discovered by a fellow NFL official during the game, and the official then put the stolen ball back into play in hopes of not being caught, according to Schefter.

    Off topic: why don't you post in colts related threads if you're a colts fan?

  10. I suppose you can look at it that way as the Ravens in 2012 probably had even more luck with Moore's brain fart that allowed you to beat Denver, Gronk being injured for the AFCCG in Foxboro and then Harbaugh pulling a Carroll three times over by passing inside the five yard line 3 times when he had Gore and/or Kaep to run it in.

    Since you look at the Denver game that way, Peyton throw a late int to end the game.

    SF shouldn't even be in that position since the lights go out to kill all momentum.

  11. That was the 8-8 rebuild year , when we got drilled 41-7. This year's Ravens team was very good, but those secondary injuries did them in. I was shocked they even got in the playoffs, further stunned they won at Pittsburgh, and also shocked they had two 14 point leads against the Patriots. What didn't shock me was that any top quarterback like Brady or Luck, would run roughshod over our secondary.

    Your defense is like the lions. Mosley, Upshaw, Suggs. haloti, Canty, McPhee, Smith, Dumervil. Good run defense. Stout. But.... secondary?

  12. After watching Brady carve up the Hawks secondary, I am very confident his night vs the Ravens would have been impacted much with Smith out there. Brady's three game run this post-season was impeccable. 10 TDs, 135 attempts with 68 percent completion rate including a 74 percent completion against the Legion of Boom. The man was simply on a mission this post-season.

    You mean while carving up Simon?

  13. You had the healthier team. You should have won by more than four. Flacco had to take every chance he could, to get points, to cover for that secondary. The last play was a chance too far, but even if the Ravens got that last TD, I think Brady would have brought them back with 1:30 left , and two timeouts. We were lucky we got that far with that secondary. I have reservations about whether we would have beaten the Colts or Seahawks with that patched secondary , so while I except the loss, I'm just making conversation about what may have happened with Smith. Brady and Belichick did the smart move going after the weakness. I would have done the same.

    Didn't that Ravens team lost Ray Lewis, Cary Williams, Corey graham, and Ed reed and got worst as the pats displayed the difference last year in Baltimore?
