Great that you'd admit the mistake. But there's a lot of people thinking what they say is "the Gospel" around here. See it in about every thread at some point. But voicing an opinion is great, even if it turns out wrong.
-
I called "sloppy play" even in big wins against the likes of Jacksonville. Called "negative thinking" but whatever. This team does not play disciplined football and hasn't all year. Who is to blame? It starts with the coaches

Robert Mathis - Ahmad Bradshaw for the Colts

IMO, this is what this defense needs. A big mean nasty ILB. Freeman aint it, but you don't find a Dick Butkus off a CFL roster too often. Pretty much the mantra of the Colts D. Pretenders not contenders
-
The most frustrating part of all this is the defense. Giving up 42,42 and 51 points in the "biggest" games in the same season really magnifies the losses. They were not competitive at all. They still only count for a single loss each but as a fan seem much bigger than that. Definitely lowers expectations moving forward which is probably where should have been all along

I love Saturday, but we don't really know if he is a good talent evaluator. He would be great in our FO in some way though.
A guy I work with said something simple but profound. He said if he were building a team, he would start with the defense because if you can keep your opponent's score low, even a crappy offense has a chance. Then he would build the offensive line because even if you have average or crappy backs, a good Oline can make them pretty good. Whereas the Colts are building the team with the QB and receivers first, which means we have to outscore other teams and it puts a lot of pressure on us.
I agree with this. Midway through Andrew Lucks rookie year I wrote a blog titled "Deja Vu". New GM, new HC, OC and DC with new 3-4 mindset. New starting QB. Wholesale changes across the board. But exact same team scenario. Great QB with good WR`s and TE`s and the rest go downhill from there. Deja Vu!
-
IMO..Nope. I`d even go so far to say this years team couldn't beat the 2012 version of the Colts. The talent is overall better but they aren't putting the best players on the field. Turnovers and sloppy play = undisciplined team, been this way all year.
-
Turnovers and sloppy play has plagued this team all year, actually going back to last years playoffs. Its almost to the point of an undisciplined coached team. The 9-4 record says otherwise and maybe I`m just wrong, been before, just don`t think this team has really peaked yet and played its best football. Hopefully that is yet to come and things get rolling
-
Didn't Samson Satele "engage" in a tussle at the end of last year with a Twitter user over his bad play? Made me think he probably frequently read things about him on the Colts forum
-
Just for satisfaction purposes, RGIII. Let him carry Andrews luggage, clip board etc around and make sure his seat is warm when he returns from the field
-
When I saw this thread I thought it said Playoff Roosters and I was wondering what a playoff rooster was, kinda dissapointed.
Lol..There is such a thing. A playoff rooster only crows on Sunday morning during the playoffs and can only be heard by fans of teams in the playoffs. He`s kind of like Bigfoot for some teams fans, they never see or hear him..but they know he exists! There, I hope that helps negate the disappointment!
-
On a side note...is anyone else tired of using multiple Backs instead of giving Boom or Trent 20-25 carries and seeing what they can do? If neither can gain sufficient yards on those amount of carries fine but staff is trying so hard to cut there carries down the middle even when one is running well (Like Trent has 3-4 times this season) he gets so many few carries he cant take advantage of it, I think staff needs to turn one of these guys loose, And if they continue to use the 2 Back set they need to go with the hot hand
Right now they are probably so scared to death that if Herron were to get injured, please God no, that it would expose the fraud of giving up a #1 pick for a certain RB. Out of options
-
why so much hype on Whalen?
Because he catches the ball and moves the chains. Because he hustles and plays every play to the whistle. No laziness in Griff Whalen. He`s a good hardnosed football player.
-
Why would you not want Whalen? Because he doesn't have 4.4 blistering speed? How`d that work out for DHB? The dude has Velcro sticky hands and fights every play til the whistles blows. Not flashy but a "football player". Yeah , I want him on my team every Sunday
-
Head to head only determines tie breakers if 2 clubs are involved. With 3 or more its conference record
-
Either way, actions speak louder than words.. or lyrics.

On top of that, if he's in southern MD, that is Redskins country. The Colts old fan base generally never went south of Laurel Md.
For the most part you are correct. My whole Moms side of the family were/are still Redskins fans. My Dad always liked to go against the grain so he liked the Colts thus a little Colts fan was born (ME) when I grew old enough to watch and emulate Bert Jones and Roger Carr out in the front yard. Guess I lived far enough away not to be persuaded to hate lol. Besides, they were my heroes..its not that easy
-
Why did you continue to support a team that abandoned your city and fan base?
That's actually a good question. I could never "hate or dislike" the Colts even if I tried. Partially because I was 14 years old and didn`t know any better when they left and partially because the fan base in Baltimore I felt/feel like kind of abandoned them too before they moved. Less than 30,000 fans at their last home game or something like that.
-
I endured multiple losing seasons, a HOF QB that refused to play for them, a move from my home state (MD), ridicule from fans in my home state (MD) who became Redskins fans and enjoyed success at same time, and then more losing seasons (before the Glorious Era of Peyton Thank You God Manning.) Is that enough? My love and loyal support never waivered though, I bleed Colts blue through and through

Carolina Panthers released CB Antoine Cason. Cason, playing on a 1 year deal is 28 and had 2 interceptions/44 tackles this year for the Panthers. Could maybe be an upgrade over Josh Gordy while Vontae heals up. Thoughts?
Sorry. Guess a day late and a dollar short on this post lol didn't see had been posted already

We'll never know with him riding the bench. Where you are on the depth chart doesn't always determine your skill set or mean the person in front of you is better
Moncrief is better than Nicks
Shipley is better than Harrison (Harrison is just younger so may have more upside)
Boom is better than Trent
Tipton honestly can't be any worse than Trent
Nixon at RT is better than the banged up Cherilus we keep putting out there every week
Retiz should be starting RG
Plenty of spots on this team where players just aren't getting their chances or starting jobs they deserve due to the coaching decisions
Agree, pretty much spot on
-
His fiancee didnt press charges. If there are no charges pressed then you cant go too jail.
Keep this off the forums before you start something big. Infact you may wunna delete the statement
you mean like incite rioting or looting or something
-
It couldn't have been because of that or he would have been cut sooner also if it was just because of that then the colts are stupid. Cut a guy who has a boat load of talent for a guy who really sucks nice move colts.
not thinking was because of that one incident, moreso maybe its an ongoing trend with him that culminated with something we haven't heard yet? Just connecting the dots
wouldn't it be something
in Colts Football

It would be something. Of mass proportions. Beings the Colts haven't had a RB with a "huge game" all year. Now would be good! And next week, and the next week and the next week..
