  1. I tried to get onboard with that way of thinking for a while, but I have a problem with people that only follow the team because of Manning that offer opinions what the team should do draftwise, when they openly admit when Manning is gone they will no longer root for the Colts. Guess im just not as evolved!

    Really? I guess I've never met anyone who has set the end date for their fandom.

    Hard to take their draft advice seriously if they are not planning on being here for sure

  2. Anyone that actually says they will stop following the Colts if they throw Sundays game is an dipstick. Seriously, if any of you think that anyone else takes you serious about that then your in need of professional help. Just stop it. The best thing for this organization is to lose Sunday. Plain and simple. There is no explanation anyone can give to not lose and get the number one pick. This isnt even about Luck. I could give a dang about him. Its just time the Colts get the chance to get some excellent draft picks to restock this depleated team. Lets not forget that the reason this team started getting great players is because we sucked for so long. We were able to select premium players at the draft. Its been too long since we have been in a position to have a top notch draft. Lets not >>> that up over 1 game. This is a team that didnt play their starters the last game and a half when we were undefeated. I dont want to hear about this team caring about wins and loses then.

    First, will people please stop calling each other names?

    Second, everybody here is a fan. If they were not, they would not be posting

    Heck my own brother stopped watching Colts games this season because they depressed him. I still think he's a fan though

  3. Thanks!

    You could really say that about most any kind of game, but I think things like penalties and turnovers effect bad teams (which, lets be honest, we are a bad team this year) even more because they have a harder time overcoming it.

    5 years Tarik Glenn could false start all he wanted (as an aside, who else misses Tarik's weekly false start?) and it didn't matter because Manning was passing for 15 yards at a time with relative ease.

    That's too much to expect from Dan Orlovksy and this offense. We get a holding penalty, and we're likely going to be punting.

    :lol; this will be a strange game to watch. I mean seriously, there will be Colts fans NOT freaking out about penalties.

  4. I expect the Colts to control the game and win by a TD or 2.

    That first game was one of many that the Colts could have won this year. It was incredibly close (and incredibly dull) for most of it. I wouldn't expect more from the Jags then we saw in that first game, but we could see a lot more from the Colts. With the stabilized oline, solid running game, dramatically better defense, and fewer turnovers I would think that the Colts should be able to slowly build a lead. If it gets to the point where the Jags have to pass instead of riding Drew, Freeney and Mathis may have a field day with the Jags rookie QB, and the Colts might actually dominate. A key factor may be simply motivation and intensity. The Colts have been playing like its the playoffs. I haven't watched the Jags recently, but I get the impression that they have stepped backwards. Bottom line, that isn't Drew Brees or Matt Ryan behind center for the Jags - I think that the Colts are simply a much better team.

    Unfortunately you have to assume that the Rams will lose badly. The Niners are playing for seeding, and that defense against a Bradford-less Rams team is not likely to be pretty. Maybe if Alex Smith has an incredibly bad game we could get lucky, but I'm certainly not expecting much.

    I agree the Colts are the better team and the "keys' are motivation and intensity

    Will they show up? I think yes

  5. I've been searching the web for what the pundits have to say about this matchup

    All I am finding is speculation as to whether it is worth the win

    It is as important as playoff games this weekend in my opinion, so the lack of "keys' to this game disturbs me

    I don't think anyone thinks the rams will win this weekend so all eyes are on whether or not the Colts win or lose

    I would like to see some of these pundits step up and say what they think should happen other than 'colts should lose'

    Seems to me, if the Colts lose, that also leaves them wide open for pundits crying FOUL
