  1. For me its a Red Flag. The team has won a few games in a row and climbed in the playoff picture with a some what favorable schedule ahead( no opponent is truly easy for them) and our Best player suddenly comes up with a potentially serious injury. How many and for long are the football gods going to place hurdles for this team to go over? Who's next, Pittman....our backup QB Minshew??? Its a downer for sure but not as deflating as losing AR5 was.
  2. Hopefully Levis continues his regression but the secondary will need to cover Hopkins better than it just did Evans.....and then there's Henry.
  3. Yes, Colts are MUCH better with him, as would any team would be.
  4. There will plenty who will want the gig....... But none elite or Big Name coaches like for most other low end franchises.
  5. I didn't click the link so I didn't watch the interview BUT did catch some of it surfing YouTube with Stephen A. Of course Stephen A. & co. had their take and I think Irsay responded to suing him. Lol Why rehash something that was 10 years ago AND why do the interview in the first place??? Nothing good was going to come from this and don't understand why his advisers(if he has any) let him tweet and make public statements. I realize he's a grow man and likes attention but there should be someone to advise him that he listens to. If there isn't I'll volunteer for the job for a guaranteed contract of like a million or two per year.....much less than he paid frank.
  6. First coach to be fired in back-to-back seasons let alone in season! He should never have been hired but that's why they are the Panthers. A impatient meddling owner who knew he made a mistake and whoever in charge of selecting Bryce young was a mistake, especially seeing how Stroud is lighting up the league and how AR5 looked and also Levis. I think Young will be a serviceable QB but not with someone like Reich in charge and maybe get away from the Dysfunctional organization that drafted him. It was a good 24 hours for me as the colts won and currently the 7th seed and Reich getting embarrassed being let go in season after only 11 games there. As most of you know I'm not a fanboy of Frank and the criticism he got from me and others was warranted, though I know he has fans in this forum and talking heads. Bottom line is the colts are better off without him as will be the Panthers.....and having a guaranteed contract of $9mil annually isn't exactly devastating to him and his bank account. My advice to him is stay away from coaching and enjoy your millions.
  7. A much needed win that helps and keeps playoff chances alive. Titans next followed by a Burrough-less Bengal team. Both winnable games but not gimmes, especially Titan game. Steelers are down the road which makes these next two games so important.
  8. There will be some concern UNTIL he comes back Blazing passes 100mph and 80 yards downfield again.....and I think it's highly probable he will.
  9. I caught the end and seen that Michigan needed to run the clock out to seal the victory AND they did with like 3 or 4 straight first downs by just handing the ball off(I think there was only 1 pass). Ohio St seemed to be in base defense and wasn't selling out to stop the run. The announcer even said they need to take a chance and have some run blitzes to try and get the ball back for the offense. I'm certainly no expert in X's & O's, especially defensively, but I agreed with the analyst who didn't agree with the the defensive play calling.
  10. I don't think Kraft will fire his partner in crime UNLESS he has a Big Fish to replace him. And I heard Belichek say the only other place he'd care to coach for is for the Giants. I'm not feeling sorry for the pats.....in '24 they will have a hot shot QB (maybe Caleb Williams) and either future HOF coach Belichek or a Big Fish like Harbaugh as HC. The talking heads will sure have plenty to talk about.
  11. In a earlier interview she talked about what she did to Erin Andrews and Erin Andrews said she does the same thing. She said she didn't like the comments the coach said and didn't want to repeat what he said because that would be "throwing him under the bus". So instead of doing her job for her network employer and report what the coach said she decided to protect him from his own words. .....what a Angel LoL. Every word out of their mouths and in general all sideline reporters shouldn't be taken seriously. I wonder how Amazon is feeling spending Billions to broadcast Thursday games and the face of the broadcast has No Credibility. Like Peter King said the public increasing questions the NFL's credibility and Charissa goes and throws gas on the fire! Imo, she needs to be fired and people need to also look into Erin Andrews statement.
  12. I think there's a better chance he will than he won't. If he does I'll risk a dollar that he'll land in new England or NY giants. if he lands in new England I'll parlay that dollar that belichek lands with the giants. If both things happen, I may have enough for a Duncan Donuts hot coffee.
  13. Like I've said previously, its often hard to evaluate rookies when they go to a "bad situation/organization" and Bryce Young also has the misfortune of being a rookie with not only joining a mostly dysfunctional organization but also has frank Reich as his coach. That's a lot for a shorter and some what less gifted athletically QB compared to others at the position. If he's lucky, Reich will be replaced and a good supporting cast will be implemented around him in '24 and a proper coach will coach him up instead of being dumbed down. But we are talking Carolina here, so what are the chances a good competent coach is brought in???
  14. I think she should be Fired and replaced by a younger hottie!!!
  15. If Pitt's offense improves ten fold I still don't think it improves enough to be average. But still expecting a win over the brownies.
  16. I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers win their division and at least one playoff game.
  17. Just top of my head I think the Steelers have beaten the colts like 90% of the time..... and that included QBs like Jones & Manning. I'm not betting that Minshew reverses the trend. LoL As far as the brownies playing them tomorrow, I plan on making a sizeable bet on the Steelers moneyline......but the close line does raise a red flag to me. And its not like it's the last game of the season and its a do or die game for the Steelers..... There are plenty of weeks left. But still I'm going with Pittsburgh but haven't decided on how much to bet. FWIW, I doubt the QBs dropping like flies in their division (Watson,Burrows) is meant for outside division teams to benefit, like the colts, over the Steelers, an organizational favourite of the football gods. I just hope Lamar Jackson doesn't go down as well.
  18. Though those injuries help with colts seemingly contention for the playoffs for now, they actually Blow the Door wide open for the Steelers......despite their offense being nearly as "offensive" as Zack Wilson and the Jets O.
  19. There's truth to that but bad coaching/schemes can also hold talented players back and prevent them from progressing.. Its nice to have both and that's where the GM comes in.
  20. I doubt Kraft moves on from Belichek.....especially to replace him with a average HC and or a unknown. The only coaches Kraft has hired is Pete Carroll & Belichek. Both will be HOF bound imo. The only way Kraft moves on from him is if someone like Harbaugh becomes available, and he usually is some form of violations from the ncaa....so maybe he does become available to Kraft and then Belichek goes to the Giants and drafts Caleb or Maye. That.scenario would be a Win win for both organizations and the NFL.
  21. Current colt QB Kellen Mond is my favorite.... his skill set is perfect to back up AR5, wouldn't have to change style of plays called. Though I have my optimism he'll ever make it in the nfl, I'd like to see him on the field and see how he does. How much worse could he be than Painter, Sorgi,...etc.....? LoL
  22. I think BB does comeback for '24. The rivalry may not be as years past but I think it will rekindle in the near future with AR5 as the Colts QB and the pats tanking for Caleb Williams. Whether it will be AR5 vs Caleb or Drake Maye or some other college hot shot the rivalry, I think, will again be renewed but doubt it ever.will be what it was with .Manning/Brady.
