I think we all agree TY is great, and we love him on our team. His big play yesterday helped seal the deal for us. But I dont think many people are making the argument his size keeps him from being a #1 WR. I think his production and consistency and skill set keeps him from being a "#1"....As for top 10, hard to say, depends on what you want. I personally dont have him in the top 10..
No order: Brown, OBJ, Julio, Dez, Green, Hopkins, Jordy, Fitz, Robinson, DT, Marshall, Cooks, Evans, Cooper are all guys I'd comfortably select over TY....Some guys that can be argued as well are Kelvin, Landry, Diggs, Edelman, Decker, Cobb, Mathews, Watkins, Sanders, Maclin.

If Luck becomes Matt Ryan I'm probably OK with it. I can see that being his "floor". But I will continually hope he becomes more.
-
Lol at thinking you could trade Ty for hardly anything. WR are a dime a dozen in this league, and he's what, maybe in the 20-25 range? He's worth more to us than anyone else.

What the Texans did last night was so much worse than anything the Colts have the past 2 games. We went to Denver, with our scrub 2nd string defense, and actually hung in there until 1:49 or something like that. The Texans have JJ Watt, Clowney, and Wilfork, were going against a 3rd stringer, and they were a complete non-factor. The Texans were NEVER in that game last night, and proved on national television that they're pretenders.
That 3rd stringer looked OK vs the Texans D, and I think Luck just might throw for 500 yards against them. Just use the same strategy as New England used: double team Watt & Clowney, and let Kelly or Mewhort single Wilfork.
I completely disagree with this.
Houston, on a short week, plays IN New England against a team that they have zero ability to game plan for....
Meanwhile Bill and his staff have 3years worth of tape on the Texans, and intimate knowledge of nearly all of the Houston coaches....
This is a game you look back on and think to yourself "no duh" that happened.
-
I'm gonna operate under the assumption the Chargers know exactly how to attack Robinson and just put that in the loss column....
I see them pounding Gordon, and working over the middle in long downs, and gaining large yards thru PI or completion down the field to Williams or Benjamin.
I see this game coming down to the offense keeping up or setting pace.
-
Finally a real fan chimed in......
-
Did they mention anything on how many rushers the Lions were using, or how our blitz pick up was?
Also, wasn't Green out in the 1st quarter? Shouldn't his grade be N/A?
-
I'd be curious to see the amount of blitzes they threw at us. I felt they did a lot 3 and 4 man rushes.....and we got to get the penalties under control.
There is a lot to complain about with this game, but OL was surprisingly far down the list, and Im an OL hater.

Isn't the flag held/waved by police/fire/military every game?

I think 2014 draft is ok. Grigson had only 5 picks and he converted them into Mewhort and Moncrief. Other picks (5-7 rounds) were Jackson, Newsome and John. Jackson and Newsome were ok as a rotational/ST players and were cut because made dumb mistakes. And they were replaced (not literally) by UDFA's like Kerr, Harrison and Swoope. Another ok rotational/ST players.
Sure, trading 1st for Richsrdson and 4th for Hughes was meh, but it was not about scouting.
I'm not sold yet on '14 being "ok"
As much as no one wants to hear it, Moncrief is currently nothing special. I think we all expect him to be, but as of now it's unproven. He could be a stud. Or he could be Kenny Britt.
Meehort is another person I take exception to. Sure he's a decent OL. Not great. Not awful. But a starter on a terrible line.
So until we actually know what Moncrief is, that draft is at very best mediocre.

2-6 since 2012 in our first 2 games to start a season.
0-4 the last 2yrs.
Crazy.

Sure would like my sure fire "#1" to score in more games.
6games with a td
2games with a td
6games with a td
3games with a td

I won't even bother posting the top10 or so guys he can't touch.
Ty is in the muddy middle of guys like Edelman, Hurns, Decker, Floyd, Tate, Lockett, MBryant, Smith, Gordon, Landry, Austin, JBrown, Maclin, Keenan, Crabtree, Cobb, Alshon, Cooks, and younger guys who haven't had a shot like Parker and Kevin White, Diggs.
That muddy middle list alone is 20+, and I could be swayed he's at the back, middle, or front.
-
I thought that particular clip was pretty funny. Dudes getting a lot of mileage out of his canal thing. If that's his whole bit then he may be in trouble.
Our last punter was/is in a band and an author. Nothing wrong with branching out.

Nobody cares that I heard rumors about Ryan Lilja lol. They usually only care about the biggest names. But, the biggest names often do well and hide things better with more money.
I don't know any Lilja stories. I do have a few Sirigusa and George stories tho

Surely one of the dozens of those women have gone to the tabloids in the last 20 years. .... no?
Probably not, and if they did I don't know about it. Although the Angeila Buchman story gained a bit of steam if I remember right.
Pro athletes being "men about town" doesn't really garner a whole lot of coverage that I'm aware of. Kinda like saying water is wet.

I believe you. I have heard the same thing.
But people bring this stuff up for a reason. You'd have to ask them...
"What is your motivation for trying to tarnish somebody's squeaky clean image? What do you gain from it?
I don't really care. What a dude does is his business. I just found humor in bringing up Brady's "transgression" as a slight against his character, when the guy he's pitted against is pretty much in the same boat.

So that's a no then?
Your right. I'll start a Wordpress page and hunt down a few 35yr old former waitresses and have them reminisce to me....actually, instead of that, I'll just record the stories and release them on a globally respected news network.....oh, wait.

Do you have a credible link to this accusation?
Frequenting Indy in said time frame.
Seeing it.
"Knowing" some of the girls.
I've told these stories more than a few times on here, and they've been deleted.

Every hooters waitress in Indy circa 98-04 loves these digs at Brady's love life.
I wonder if Peyton is still renting that apartment........

Pulling the ole Carson Palmer eh?
"Retire" until the team says "hey we will trade you". Win win.

I think they clearly sensationalize. I think they suck at fact-checking (Pagano wanted Chud, but Grigson forced him to hire Pep?), and I don't think any of them actually pay attention to anything football related.
This story was weird from the beginning, but before there was ever any indication that Grigson and Pagano had beef, the media jumped to wild conclusions (Pagano not getting an extension means it's Super Bowl or bust?) Once they did that, they had to ride the train till it stopped.
I'm very torn about the decision. But my favorite part is all these media know-it-alls who declared as unassailable fact that Pagano was gone being left in the dark and ultimately wrong in the end. Maybe they'll focus on the facts a little bit better.
Until people willing out themselves as a source this is going to continue to happen. The local guys could have talked to 3/4/5 guys to verify certain aspects, and all of them could have agreed. It's the reporter who's left high and dry when things don't come to fruition.
Im not gonna disagree that local guys can't be blow hards. But these guys live and breath Indy sports, and are given daily access we fans can only dream of. I'm willing to bet that after 8hrs a day for 4yrs they have acquired pretty solid insight and sources. If they learn or are told something, it's kinda there duty to report it.....we as fans just get bent out of shape if it is or isn't true because we think we know better, or because we read something else from another reporter who heard it from his 3/4/5 sources....it's never ending and it's exhausting.

I don't get all the media hate.
They talk to guys in the building. Those guys tell them "man things are so messed up so and so does this and that"
They report what those people say/imply
Do people really think these guys just sit behind a computer and start typing a made up story?
If fans should be mad at anything, it's at the people at 56th St that won't put there name to anything.
