  1. Staying home and just eating regular stuff.  Before we moved to Myrtle we used to have a couple of friends over and we would eat

    stuff we weren't supposed to, haha.  That was a lot of fun.  Now we're old and don't really care what we eat, lol, so there's really nothing special.  Football Sunday is always burger day, so we'll probably do that.

     

    Thinking KC will win, but as much as I like them I'm probably going to root for Purdy and CMAC for the upset.  I usually like the underdog...dog...

    Dog?? 

    Maybe I'll have a couple of hotdogs tomorrow as well!!

    I think Bob Sanders will be next and deservedly so. I have been on Irsay's case to get this done but I doubt he reads what we post, maybe he does? He is a big social media guy. Not having Bob in isn't right, he was a big reason why we won the SB we did, and he is the only Colt in NFL history to win DPOY. The ovation he would get would be unreal! 

     

    Back to Andrew, give it 2 more years and I think things will be fine. The way he retired (timing of it) just made a lot of people dislike him. I still love the guy for what he gave the franchise even though I was mad at the timing of his retirement.

    What if (no, I don't wish this!) Jim dies before Andrew get into the ROH?  Do you think he goes in right away or a few years after Jim himself gets there (would that even happen?  An owner in the ROH??).

    Folks that belive its rigged will never listen to reason.  They ignore the obvious 

     

    @LJpalmbeacher2 and @Yoshinator

    IF that is true then it is unfortunate.  Keeping an open mind and being open to a possibility of it being true is about as far as I can get, but that's just me.  It being a high probability or it being true is just beyond the fact stage at this point.  Facts are important.

    A rogue ref is a thing I could say is plausible.   The league it's self predeterming outcomes is absolute nonsense.   They have no reason to.   And if they were,  I'm pretty sure vegas would know about it and not take the action.   Small brain folks will always assume the nonsense.   The leagues have no reason to cheat.   They make barrels of money no matter what happens

    To me it's even more than that.  It would take every top player from every team to be in on the fix.  That's a LOT of players over the course of X amount of years.  To go along with what Sups said, the chances of someone spilling the beans along the way is quite high. 

     

    Imagine being out of the league for a few years and money is running low.  Why wouldn't that player run to a media outlet and get boodles of money to expose the league?  The odds of that happening are (in my opinion) greater than the big fix being in.  It's just too risky for the league to take that chance (like jvan just stated).

     

    I also agree that a rogue ref and/or player is plausible.  Remember how Strahan was given a gift by Farve on his sack record back in '02?  Yeah, that was a real "legit" sack...

    I'm not counting Woods out. I read an article the other day that said his calf issue this season was due to a hip issue. He kept rehabbing and strengthening his calves but wasn't fixing the actual issue in his hip, which is why it took all year. Saying that, I'm also not counting on him. If we have a chance at Bowers I'd say let's take it and hope both reach their ceiling.

    Here's the article incase anyone wants it.

    Thanks for that.  Nice read.

    If his problems are solved he will definitely help this offense thrive.  I don't know how you scheme two freakish TE's with AR & JT, but it sure would be nice to have that problem if they somehow get Bowers.

    I saw him play against Coastal Carolina this year at RT.  Just re-watched the game.  Small sample size, but once he locks on you you're not going anywhere.  I didn't get a sense of his mobility, but he pulled well and cleared out traffic road grader style.  Moved well in pass pro, but I thought he was rather high in stance (but I don't really know these things, lol).

    From what I read it’s supposed to be a very good draft for DT’s so the idea of moving back into the 1st round entered my mind as well.  Picking up an additional 20m in cap space really opens the possibility for adding another premium player in FA who would be younger than Buckner who is 30 I believe.  Hard to see them doing the Buckner trade proposal but you never know until the phone call comes in.  

    Okay, you sold me, for the most part, on the Buckner possibility, haha.  I didn't realize it was a good draft for DT's.  It's always an unknown in the draft, but this year may be the year to do this.

     

    I also agree with someone who said that if Ballard doesn't pull the trigger in FA this year on day 1 he's never going to do it (trading our #1 is the same in my mind).  My mindset is that he feels he has the franchise QB in AR and this is the year to go all in to get the roster to the next level.  Next year we won't (hopefully) have a draft at 15, but more probably in the 20's.  Get that guy this year and we can get this team to a much higher level.  Of course this is just my opinion and is completely against his past norms.

    Interesting article on PFF.  They suggest the Colts should trade their 1st pick for A.J.Brown.  They also suggest the Bengals should trade their 2nd rd pick and another pick this year for Buckner.  Colts save over 20m in cap space and the Bengals plug a major hole on their defensive interior. 

    As a casual fan, I could see doing the Brown trade.  Young, proven vet under contract until end of 2026(?).  Definitely upgrades our WR corp and is another toy for AR.  I’m good with that.  

     

    Not so much with Buckner for a 2nd and another pick.  It leaves a hole in the Dline which we have no replacement for.  So what are we gaining here?  We have cap space for the next couple of years from what I read here, so money is not *really* an issue.  

     

    Is there a lineman in the draft that could take his place in the bottom of the first?  Maybe we could take both second rounders and move up to the bottom of the first for his replacement?  I don’t know, just asking.

    We will disagree on this one. The offense should not lose possession unless the other team recovers it, JMO. If a team fumbles the ball at midfield and it goes out of bounds, the offense maintains possession where the ball went out. What is the difference. Your offense could have a 90 yard drive, then fumble at the 1 and goes out of bounds so they get penalized for that?? Nah.

    Yeah, we'll disagree, but to answer your question; if you get tackled in the end zone it's a safety.  If you get tackled anywhere else it's just a tackle.  The end zone is special.
