  1. I know we don't see what the coaches see, but it is odd to understand why McGlynn is a starter.  And Ijalana barely gets to play.  I know they play different positions.  But just odd.

  2. I love Indy and the town, the fans, and the people, so please don't take this the wrong way..Bob Irsay was my most disliked Colt ever, for taking the Colts away from Baltimore, because it was close to me at the time, it was the only "local" team i supported, and having to wait forever to get my season ticket money back, when he sneaked out of town. I never blamed the Colts for moving..they were told by the owner to move, and they did..I still followed my team, and it didn't matter where they played..they were the Colts I grew up to love, and still love to this day

     

    I only ever got to see 1 home game in Indy, and I love the town, the people, the atmosphere..and I'm glad the Colts are thriving in a great city..and as my Forum name says..Colt Fan 4 Life

     

    I love this post.  It is nice to hear someone they are a Colts fan.  City is irrelevant.  I have been a Colts fan since they were in Baltimore and I have never lived close to either city.

     

    I do think Bob Irsay should rank high for many reasons  Even if you through out the move, he was just a bad owner.  When Joe Thomas rebuilt the Colts in such a short time, that was a loaded, talented young team.  Bert Jones, Lydell Mitchell, Roger Carr, The Sack Pack, etc.  Yet, they were together for such a short of time.  Firing Marchibroda then bringing him back a week later.  He just did really bizarre things.   Good business guy but terrible NFL owner.  One has to wonder what the Colts would have been like had he lived another 10 years.  Would Manning have lasted long?  Bill Polian would have never been hired.  He just had a way of destroying teams right when they seemed to be getting good.

  3. Delano Howell impressed on defense. I liked what Vontae Davis early on, but he didn't play much. 

     

    As for the offense, TY looked quite good. 

     

    Just a quick little shoutout, Jeff Tuel of the Bills had a lights out day even if it was against backups and reserves. 

     

    You nailed that. Jeff Tuel looked VERY good. I am going to go out on a limb and say he, not Manual, will be the Bills long term QB. I know, he played against backups, but it is his poise, delivery, and accuracy that stuck out.

  4. Well Manuel did most of his damage after we took our starters out, he has a very good chance to be their starter this year, if you can't own an another teams back ups odds are your team shouldn't be looking at you as their best QB. 

     

    With that said I would breath a little easier if I were a Bills fan about EJ Manuel going forward.

     

    Actually, if I were a BIlls fan I would be more excited about Tuel. I know he played against 2nd and 3rd stringers, but he was decisive and accurate.  He was always a good prospect.  Just got hurt.

  5. The thing about Chapman I like is he never seems to go backwards.  He either stacks up the line or moves it backwards. I remember one play where he blasted two offensive lineman and then make the tackle on the RB.  It was late in 4th quarter.

  6. Nice thoughts on game.  Here is my thoughts:

     

    Josh Chapman did what we hoped he would do.  The guy simply can't be moved.  He ties up two blockers

     

    The offense seemed to have slow developing plays.  Contrast to the Bills, who often did 3 step drops and fired.  Almost like Arians was still here :)

     

    Secondary was shreaded

     

    No pass rush other than Rayford on the one play.

     

    TY is going to tear it up this year if he stays healthy

     

    Connor looked good a LB.

  7. Interesting the Grigson seems more willing to take a chance on players with checkered pasts.    I am all for people getting 2nd chances.  You people do crazy things.   But it is different than the Polian/Dungy regime where they would rarely do that.

  8. Why? Doing all three would still be much less than any professional soccer player. Maybe Pat will be the first.

     

    I am friends with Norm Johnson, the former Seahawks kicker.  He told me he often laughs when people make too much of kickers kicking too much.  He said it is not any different than QBs throwing the ball 80 times a day.  He said there is no reason a kicker couldn't do all three.

  9. does anyone have a clip of chapman dropping our linemen like bowling pins

     

    That is probably the greatest thing I have heard from a training in years.  If he can do that to other players during regular season, we will FINALLY have a fun stopping force on the inside for the first time since Siragusa was with us.  Plus, I love the bowling pins analogy :)

  10. I know he's a real long shot, but I'm rooting for Rayford.  I was listening to an interview he did and the kid loves football, he refuses to give up the dream.  He's 27 so this may be his last shot.

     

    Plus, a 6'7" LB has to be able to bat down balls, as well as kicks.

     

    Just curious, how is a 27 year old man called a kid?  For that matter, a 23 year old?  lol  I just always wondered.

  11. I think what we are unestimated on is overall team depth and ability.   Too often the "experts" look at a team with 4-5 elite players as being the team to beat.  But those are also the teams that have half a roster full of rookies or cheap players.   We potentially have a solid team across the board.  Not really great at all positions, but good.  And I believe that will get us much further than a handful of superstars.

  12. Hope I'm not gonna get yelled at for posting this, but I thought others here would find this interesting. You can LEGALLY get nfl Sunday ticket with the new madden on tablets without a directv subscription. ONLY AT AMAZON. has to be anniversary edition.

     

    Thanks for posting that. I have gotten NFL Ticket every year since 1994.  The price just continued going up until last year it went down a little.  But still, If I can pay $99 for a game and NFL Ticket, I don't care if I have to watch it on my computer or tablet.  It will save me like $250.
