  1. Talent evaluators in ALL SPORTS miss....   a lot.

     

    That's just a true-ism in the evaluation of human beings.     I'm being totally serious here.

     

    It's why you hear people say it's hard to measure things like.....   heart and will and desire and want....    all those things that are inside a player but you can't physically see them and measure them.

     

    It's also hard to measure what a player will do when he's got freedom as a grown adult and more money than he's ever had before,  and in some cases,  millions more.    Those two things -- freedom and money -- can turn the head of plenty of players and not for the better.

     

    Player evaluation is a hard business....   the batting average of people who are great at it isn't all that high....

    Thank you.  If we don't end up with another Quinn Pitcock, then we will be fine.

  2. It wasn't a need and the guy is a midget and weighs next to nothing.

    Have fun watching Dorsett tear it up when he gets a chance.  TY "is a midget and weighs next to nothing", but dude is a beast.  If you are looking for an apology from the Colts for drafting a 2nd TY, then move along.

     

    Colts' offense is going to be scary-good, and the defense will be solid.  Not my preferred-balance, but I am just a fan (just like you).  You want an elite defense and an average offense, go be a fan of Seattle...

  3. if they try to intentionally hurt our players and we find out, the pats will be royally screwed. 

    Goes without saying, look at the penalties for "Bounty-gate".

     

    I'm talking about the matchup on Oct 18th.  Ticket prices are going to sky-rocket, and the NFL couldn't be happier.

     

    Did they plan this? No, the pats forced their hand, but the NFL handled this pretty darn well, IMO... Premiere matchup, with side-story, acheived...

  4. Petrified

    haha tough guy.  I think people are trying to extrapolate that I think the Colts SHOULD be scared.  Maybe I "mis-titled" (new word?) my thread...

     

    If anything, the pats should be scared of the Colts.  Especially after our 1st round pick.  Colts 56-pats 7.  Does that sound better?

     

    JK, I think it will be a close game, more like 45-42. Colts win with a last-second FG.  "I ain't neva scerred" haha

  5. I am hoping for a 70-0 Colts victory, but I'm trying to be realistic.  I in NO WAY believe the Colts should be scared.  Like I said, the pats will have a chip on their shoulder, but I think the Colts will also have a chip on their shoulder, and for this game specifically, a HUGE CHIP, that hopefully carries over to a win and home-field advantage...

     

    Which means a rematch here in Indy, where we (again) send them home crying after a playoff embarassment...

     

    Of course, that's assuming they win the AFC East, like always...  I'd love to have a Colts/Dolphins/Bills/Jets AFC Championship, but BB owns the AFC East, and I'd be surprised if any of those teams took it from him this season.

  6. 4-3 OLB: Lavonte David

     

    You are probably right.  It was a coin-flip between David and Thomas, and Thomas is just more likable...  David is younger and more athletic, so he should probably get the nod, but I just like Thomas as a man... no hoe-moe?...

  7. A few analysts (lookin' at you Michael Irvin) have said teams should be scared of the pats once Brady comes back.  When you look at what they did after spygate (18-1) and how they ran it up on teams, should we be scared about the pats blowing us out of the water on their way to another Super Bowl?

     

    HECK NAW!!!  Belichick WISHES he had that team from 2007.  Randy Moss? Tedi Bruschi?  Get-outta-heeere...

     

    Granted, Belichick is a heckuva coach, but Chuck ain't no slouch, and I think the Colts will have a chip on their shoulder.  Maybe not as big a chip as NE, but if any team is motivated to beat the pants off NE, it's the Colts.

     

    45-42 (and I hate to give the pats that many pts) with the homefield advantage coming through.  Hopefully, we can get homefield advantage during the playoffs and beat them AGAIN on the way to another LOMBARDI.

  8. They better be ready for the Colts! Run it up on them!

    I really hope neither team is able to "run it up" on the other...

     

    Just kidding, I want the Colts to win 70-0, but that would be delusional...

     

    45-42 Colts win on a last-second Adam Vinatieri FG... maybe in overtime, but that would mean someone dies of a heart attack before OT even starts... (hopefully a pats fan... jk... again... but not really tho)

  9. I think it could be a good game, what I'm worried about is if they intentionally try to hurt Luck or someone else. I really think it's a possibility.

     

    I have not considered this. I don't like you right now.

     

    I, also, don't like you right now.  Just saying, this is blasphemy.  Intentionally hurting another player has historically (Bountygate) not worked out for the offending team.

     

    I, for one, want a healthy Tom Brady (and BB and Bob Kraft) to LOSE to the Colts here in Indy, and go home CRYING to their Mommas... in week 6 and after the AFC Championship.  2006 Redux...

  10. You might say this is the biggest game of the regular season for the NFL.  Unless week 17 provides some crazy scenario, like always, this game will be the most-watched game of the regular season.

     

    It's already a prime-time game.  A pisst-off Brady will be coming to town against a stacked Colts team, the team that "ratted" him out to the NFL.  Luck and Brady will (hopefully) shoot it out.

     

    If the pats run for 200+ yds (again) and beat the Colts, get yo torches and pitchforks ready... BUT if the Colts (finally) beat the pats, then it's the feel-good story of the regular season.  It will be a nail-biter though, no 70-0 whupping in this game. (as much as we would like to see the Colts send the pats home crying)

     

    Don't be surprised if we see a Manning v. Brady AFC Championship though.  As much as I would like, no LOVE, to see the Colts go all the way, I see one more epic matchup, where (hopefully) The Sheriff can ride off into the sunset, while Brady has to eat poop.

  11. Obviously, barring "mitigating circumstances", October 18th, 2015: that team vs. The Colts is THE BIGGEST game of the year for the NFL.

     

    Maybe a game in week 17, or a Brady vs. Manning AFC Championship, will trump this, but seriously, the NFL could not have "planned" this any better.

     

    A pisst off Brady comes back from suspension against a loaded Colts team... The same team that "ratted out" Bradys' misdeeds.

     

    If Belichick can't get his team "geeked up" for this game, they don't deserve to win.  I don't think they deserve to win anyway, but my opinion has nothing to do with the outcome.

     

    If Chuck can't get the Colts ready for this game, and we actually lose to the pats... AGAIN. Especially if they run for 200+ yds... omg

     

    I doubt either fan base will be happy, because neither team is going to win 70-0.  It's going to be a nail-biting close one, and at least one fan WILL die of a heart-attack... Just sayin...

  12. Brady: "I'm not a cheater"

     

    Belichick: "I don't know WHAT'S going on"

     

    Kraft: "This is ridiculous, we don't cheat.  I am offended anyone would say so.  The league is trash, they can do what they want, and we will accept it, because we didn't do anything, so nothing will happen"

     

    Kraft: "This punishment is ridiculous, we didn't cheat, but we indefinitely suspended the guys that worked for us that did cheat.  What do you mean that's not enough and you are taking my money, my starting QB, and my draft picks?!?  This is ridiculous"

     

    ... I said a flip, flop, a flippy, the flippy to the flip-flip-flop and you don't stop a Brady, said up-chuck the money to the rhythym of the money-da-beat.  Now what you hear is not a test, I'm raging to the beat...

  13. Elite Defense (with one caviat...) PLUS an elite QB to make all the other bums on offense look alright...

     

    And, personally, I want an elite secondary that lets nothing get by it.

     

    I love Manning and watching him was entertaining, but I'd rather win every game 3-0, and I mean EVERY game. 19-0, greatest Defense ever, Ball control "don't lose the game" offense, Spot in history earned.

     

    We are talking pipe-dreams here right? ...

  15. Most interesting is Goode to me though. Not alot to go on, but has the size, and athletic ability to make a serious impact in the run game.  But don't know his pass blocking abilities, or his ability to learn schemes or work habits.

    I want to see Good come in as a 6th offensive lineman on short yardage plays.  He looks like a road-grading people mover.  He might be what this offense has needed to get the power run game going that Chuck has been talking about for three years.

     

    I might be outsmarting myself here (I'm not Belichick), but I'd like to see a "2TE" set where Good lines up as one of the 2 TEs (eligible receiver or not, doesn't matter) with Allen or Fleener as the other TE (Allen can run-block, whereas Fleener can flex out to the slot), then TY and Dorsett as the two receivers.  Good would create a 6-man Oline for Gore to run behind, and if the defense stacks the box because of it, TY and Dorsett can burn the secondary for long gains.

     

    Get on it Pep.

  16. We can just stop the JJ Watt comparisons. He's a once in a generation freak talent a la Andrew Luck. We can only hope he is a good 3-4 DE for us. Just wish he were a few years younger.

    Nobody, including the Texans, knew this when he was coming out of college.  That's why he was selected in the middle of the first round and not 1st overall.

     

    Everyone is hoping to get the next Andrew Luck or JJ Watt, and if they're lucky, they will steal them in later rounds.

     

    I think Anderson is a solid player, and I hope he works extremely hard to elevate his game, much like Watt has done.  Also, he is only 23... how old do you want him to be?  It's rare for a 20-21 year old to be done with college, much less pro-ready...

  17. In this case, yes. NFL is one of the most corrupt spots out here. Integrity isn't exactly their strong point. But to say you'd take integrity over SB wins is just beyond me but to each their own

    I guess there are two camps:

     

    1. Do whatever it takes to win

     

    2. Win or lose, do things the right way

     

    Any segment of the population would probably split down the middle on this issue, but I'm in camp 2.

     

    Of course, camp 3 would probably say you need people from both camps to accomplish anything worthwhile...
