I think Irsay gets ripped on a daily basis on Twitter, especially about Polian and I think he is just playing to his followers. I think Irsay is scared of Polian and wouldn't ever question Polian's supreme power over the world.
Don't think so
-
I guess I would have to question why you worry what Irsay tweets and second why even try to "understand" them.
What?
-
With a word Irsay can have him removed from the building. He's not scared of Polian. That's silly. He sent this out because Polian's reaction is not how he wants the organization to be portrayed. No more, no less.
Sounds right to me
-
I like Irsay too but he is being a bit hypocritical with his recent tweets. In one tweet right after the Falcons debacle he tweeted something to the effect that this losing won't be tolerated and now he's telling the fans to "buck up."
I don't think that is hypocritical. We cannot buck up while corrections are put place? Maybe you thought he was going to take some sweeping action when he tweeted that losing isn't tolerated?
To me, Buck Up means 'Be strong, things will get better'

Especially if daddy gave us one simply based on being family.
Colts are a family business as are many nfl teams and many businesses in general.
Being family is not the issue. if you want to say he's the wrong guy for the job, fine you are entitled to your opinion.
My goodness........Caldwell isn't related to anyone and people criticize that as well.
-
I meant simply in regards to the pundits saying for the past few years that the Colts are a one man team and that the window is closing. The state of the team currently could certainly be used by them to prove they've been right, though I wouldn't necessarily agree with them.
oh, okay I see what you are saying.
I don't need them to tell me that we are overly dependent on 18
As a fan though, I tend to feel like the media do not really watch our team. Generally, fans tend to have more accurate insights imo because THEY WATCH THE GAMES
My personal opinion is that we have been missing our spark. Even when we had 18 last year, and went to the playoffs.......something.....that we had in 2009 was not there last year.
When we had Dom back last season......you could see it come back. They are just not gelling as a team they way that they should and have not been since the start of last season.
I'm not sure that's just Peyton or what it is.........but, the good news is.......that clearly everyone sees now that we need to do something different. At least I would think so
-
Well, that and the team record finally vindicates (perhaps a better word could go here) what the experts have been saying about the colts for the past few years.
Hmm, I'd have to see a point by point of the issues to agree that vindication has occurred.
Thing I'm remember right now is 2009 season, yahoo fantasy recommended against drafting peyton except maybe as a back up.
If there is vindication it swings both ways
-
and btw wasn't it either stampede blue or pft that said the Irsay should not be on twitter at all?
I guess they are still following him
-
National media criticism of the colts is not a new thing.
Only thing difference I see is that many colts fans agree with them now
-
We are all lucky to have jobs.
-
The 2009 season was incredible.
Expectations were high and not realized.
The 2006 season.........even right up to the playoffs I remember people saying how we just wouldn't do anything in the playoffs.
Low expectations not realized
Prior to the 2007 season, I heard Polian talking about the super bowl and saying that it is not always the best team that wins it. Because if it was......then the 2005 Colts would have won.
Yes, I do remember
-
Love that Jackson Browne lyric he tweeted. really great song and appropriate
Well I'll keep on movin' ... movin' on
Things are bound to be improvin' these days
One of these days
These days I'll sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten ... my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
-
Good. Last prime time appearance was a disaster.
-
seriously? This thread is closed
-
I think because they don't use twitter or they think twitter is a waste of time or they think his style of tweeting is not appropriate.
All fall into the category of how they would do it if they were Jim, I think
BTW, right now on colts.com we're getting a lot of people telling us to stop updating and win some games.
FYI, web staff have nothing to do with the games.......just throwing that out there. :slaphead:
-
well this was a really good thread for me to start my game day with
Thanks for sharing your experience unitas,
I'm feeling much less pessimistic because of it
Hope you continue to see improvement and are better than ever soon!
-
We can choose to be pessimistic..but doctors said he would not possibly be cleared to play before Dec. 1.
Polian said if he's cleared on Dec.1 he will practice and may play..
Isnt that what they said?
I guess I fall into the pessimistic camp then.
-
But Maureen.
Thats what they told us in September...3 months.
Did anybody expect him to be cleared from practice after 2 months..
You can be pessimistic...but nothing said today is new.
(I understand why Peyton doesnt talk about this a lot.)
They may have said that but no body knows. Honestly I don't know how guys come back the season after acl surgery. I had that surgery 2 years ago and I'm still rehabbing.
And this involves fusion and nerves.........so, who knows
I do think that article does give a much more ominous feel to Peyton's prognosis.
In particular the quote where Peyton mentions February
"We're in full discloser with each other," Manning said. "If I'm not healthy in February, I think it's fair for the Colts to make their decision."gave me a knot in my stomach
-
He will not work out the entire month of December. His fusion has not happened yet.
nerves have not regenerated.
He will not have his restrictions lifted.
This is going to be an off season drama
If by some miracle, all this played out as you suggest...........it would not be a fair evaluation at all. The man has not played football in almost a year.
-
He cannot go from this today
"We're still waiting for the fusion to take place, it's still going slow and we still have some issues with the regeneration of the nerve," he said. "I still have some restrictions."to playing in 4 weeks.
-
@john dee, we do have an off topic forum. But still, no religion/political posts. It leads to too much flaming/swearing and clean up work for mods.
Jim is a true fan of this game. And he knows that everyone involved......owners.....players.....coaches..... all start and end as 'Fans'
That's why he connects with fans, he is one

Forgetting to pay for sandwiches and subsequently being searched, cuffed, booked, and your child taken from you and put in protective custody

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS SIGN DB PRINCE MILLER
The Indianapolis Colts today signed free agent defensive back Prince Miller.
Miller, 5-9, 198 pounds, is in his second NFL season after competing in four games for the Detroit Lions in 2010. He was originally signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent on May 7, 2010. Miller was released by Baltimore and spent a brief period of time on the New England Patriots practice squad, prior to being re-signed to the Ravens active roster. Baltimore then placed Miller on the team’s practice squad and the Lions signed the Duncan, South Carolina native to the team’s active roster for the remaining four contests of the season. Miller finished the 2010 campaign with three tackles and one pass defensed.
In 52 career games at the University of Georgia, Miller totaled 126 tackles (86 solo), one sack, one forced fumble, 11 passes defensed and one interception. He also returned 28 punts for 417 yards with one touchdown.

I think he does listen to fans. obviously
I think he also knows how to do what needs to be done. He listens but is not dictated to
