Yeah, I thought for sure we were playing in Germany, Massachusetts yesterday. They even played that annoying Tugboat sound!

I agree 100%, we got 1 call = the non-hold. They got away with a lot all game as a well. The Ravens also had a chance to win it in regulation with arguably the best K of all-time and missed. That game and the Browns game is not close. Browns were given the game, if anyone can't see that, I don't know what to tell them. We got a break but nothing like the Browns got.

McD coached Orton when in Denver.

Alex Smith was a great game manager. I thought he was actually good overall under Reid.

To your 1st sentence. Completely False. That is in your head. I know I am not like that - you can think I am all you want. I think it is funny at this point. I call games how I see them, and I say who I think will be good or bad unbiasedly. Just because I am not going to root for Stroud or Levis has no bearing whether or not how good they may be. Why would I root for Stroud or Levis to play good, they are in our division? Like I said though, when I rate players, that hasn't nothing to do with my fandom, 2 different things. Rooting for a rival would be like a Colts fan rooting for Tom Brady back in the day. To me Tom is the GOAT, so 2 totally different things.

Orton was a good game manager. Just didn't have the arm strength to become great. When he played, he was above average for the most part.

"Pierce is a BUM". Nice take . I wonder sometimes if some people think before they post.

I can say the same thing about Will Levis. "I don't understand how people are so convinced that" Levis "is the next franchise QB of the" Titans; "nothing suggests it" Then when I talk bad about Will Levis I get thrown under a bus. The same people don't say crap to the posters that say AR is made of glass and they would have never drafted him. Hypocrites. It's a Colts site, throw those same people under the bus.

What keeps this season exciting at 5-5 is, we now have meaningful games the rest of November and perhaps December/January. 3 critical games will be Raiders, at Cincy Bengals, and Texans again. These teams are all bunched up. The way Houston is playing now, luckily, we caught them early and won at their place. How we sacked Stroud 7 times, it is hard to imagine. We have the tiebreaker over them. After losing the Browns and Saints games, these last 2 against at Carolina and vs the Pats were absolute must wins to keep this team in the playoff hunt. After the Bye, to me the Bucs game is a must win too because you don't want to drop below .500. So far what has kept this team afloat, we are good in close games (7 points or less). 3-2 in those games, really should be 4-1 as we got cheated vs the Browns. Some can come back and say, we got a non-call at Baltimore which helped us win, perhaps. Having said that, the Browns got 2 bogus holding calls go their way in the last 30 seconds. We had the game won. I still think we got screwed worse than the Ravens did.

Current standings going into Monday Night: @chad7296-53 @2006Coltsbestever95-54, (1 back) @EasyE95-54, (1 back) @Moe92-57, (4 back) @Chrisaaron102390-59, (6 back) @w87r90-59, (6 back) @VikingsFanInChennai88-61, (8 back) @RollerColt85-64, (11 back) @coltsva84-65, (12 back) @Solid8474-43 - Honorable Mention. Can't qualify for the Trophy because he missed the 1st 2 weeks. This looks correct and everyone took the Bills tonight. Between Chad, EasyE, and myself it is real close. Everyone is picking pretty good.

Ravens vs Lions were my before season SB picks. Ravens just blew it today. The Chargers used to screw me all the time. So i quit taking them, between Herbert not being able to close and that coach they got. Unless they play someone bad I am not taking them. I did have them last week only because they played the Jets and I was still nervous about that pick .

The Browns game still makes me nauseated.

I agree, it isn't like it came down to Stroud or AR and we took AR instead. Having said that, I am still happy with our pick. Glad we took AR instead of Levis.

Good luck, hope it goes well. The back is nothing to jack with. I would definitely rest for a while after that.

I tried to talk @Chrisaaron1023out of taking the Patriots with a Homer Gif even. It didn't work lol.

So far for the week: @chad72is 8-4 to go to 95-53 @2006Coltsbesteveris 9-3 to go to 94-54 @EasyEis 10-2 to go to 94-54 @chad72, EasyE did have the Vikings but lost the Ravens and Bengals games. He is tied with me in 2nd place. You are 1 game ahead of us. I will total the others up later. All 3 of us have the Raiders tonight. @Moeis 8-4 to go to 91-57 @Chrisaaron1023is 6-6 to go to 89-59 -Both have the Raiders tonight.

@EasyE took the Saints. Yeah, you still got me, but by only 1 game now. That was a nailbiter

Agreed 100%.

Facts: 1. I never have called AR a legend. I just have said, he has a higher ceiling than Levis and I agree with us taking him. 2. I have said Levis played Great vs the Falcons. 3. I have said Levis played average at Pitt. 4. I have said Levis stunk today. 5. I have said, Stroud has been the best rookie of the bunch. 6. Levis was added to this thread because of me. All 100% facts. If some in here can't deal with facts, go back to grade school and learn comprehension again when reading my posts.

He played well today. I had a hard time thinking that team would lose 4 in a row.

They are all big now even for us. The Browns just won and losing to them is going to stick out like huge thorn if we end up 9-8 and missed the playoffs. We are almost forced now to have to beat Cincy and sweep Houston looking ahead. I am not sure that will happen?

I had Vikings and Bucs, we are now tied for 1st place. It comes down to the Falcons at Cards, I have the Falcons, you got the Cards.

Jags will want revenge, Browns are good, and they play us here. Remember we have the tie breaker against them too.

Nah you saying he played great against Pitt, was one of the worst takes ever. I am not going to argue with you today. You quoted me 1st, Accept the loss and move on, Levis stunk today. I am going to enjoy my Colts win, have a nice day.
