I didn't say they wouldn't investigate to the fullest.Also , it's already been stated that he bet on some Colt games. I don't recall that he was inactive much last year , so he probably played in those games. Word was he bet on the Houston game. Thing is , IMO , I think they find it very unlikely he bet AGAINST the Colts. That would be insane and just saying I doubt very much they will find ANYTHING that will result in even a suspicion that he blew plays to accommodate a bet he made.

Yeah he was blowing the game to collect on a $100 bet. If he bet against the colts and it was a sizable bet , then people will look at the film.

If he's betting "ON" the Colts , why would he drop a pick 6 ? Are you trying to say that he might play badly to make the team look bad and thus get more points in the following week's game. The guy was fighting for a staring job and he's going to do that stuff you mention to get a better point spread on the following week's game ? That's crazy and no I don't see the possibility of that happening . If he's betting on the colts , he would never do anything to take points away in a game ? It doesn't make sense and if it doesn't make sense , it's pretty unlikely it's true. Not to insult you , but you don't seem to know about point spreads and how betting really works. No big deal on that but why in the world would a guy betting $50 a game do things career ending things you describe . You could say he was being bribed but that is really a long shot also.

I don't understand your post . If he bet on the Colts , why would he do things on the field other than try to win a ball game. Give me an example of the "myriad of things to sabotage the team for the spread ." How would placing a bet on his team , possibly affect the careers of others ?" I'm not saying this is not a serious offense , I just think you're stating things that don't make total sense. So think it out and let me know how he would do things to "sabotage "the spread if he's betting on the Colts ?

They didn't like Levis much at all.

I think we all know that it means pretty much nothing. It's just a nice read when your teams draft is graded highly.

Here's one that isn't tainted like Kiper's. https://nfltraderumors.co/nfltr-review-ranking-all-32-draft-classes/

Here's one you all might like better than Kiper's sour grapes over his QB going in the 2nd round. https://nfltraderumors.co/nfltr-review-ranking-all-32-draft-classes/

Did he get help on many or most of the passing plays ? I posted earlier that I found it hard to believe that a guy that gave up ZERO sacks for the year was poor in protection and had to be helped on most passing downs.

Usually a team gives help to an OT when he's giving up sacks. He's a 3 year starter and gave up zero sacks his senior year. Doesn't quite add up to a guy that's "terrible " in pass protection. Unless you and or Cosell provide the number of total plays and provide the number of plays he had "help" , yours and his comments really mean very little to me. LOL

Strange that a guy that "was constantly given help" gave up zero sacks on the year.

If you look at Kiper's grades for all the teams , a B was not an "above average grade." He now gives teams the benefit of the doubt in his grading . 28 teams had a B or above . The remaining 4 teams were given a B-.

Isn't he an OT ?

Probably another 5th rounder. Pretty soon we will have half the 5th round.

Also is going to be 30 and entering his 8th year in the league. Not really IMO a "good fit" considering the money we have invested in our O line as we speak.

I doubt Speed would resign with Indy as his chances to start are low. Unless we offer him a "better contract " , why would he want to stay with us ? Being a back-up on a 4-12 team is not exactly enticing . IMO , we lose him and I'm bummed if I'm right .

Cutting Leonard is not a "reasonable" option for the obvious reasons.

There's a cluster of teams 3-6 which is only 1/2 game better. I think we could get to 5 or 6.

I think I'm older than you . Started watching the Colts in 1960 also. As to my vote , it doesn't matter who we fire next week. We will still stink.

Special teams are the big difference in this game. That said , I had no idea we were this bad.

I was about to post the same. What a nonsense call that was

Niece job by our offensive line.

That's mostly due to the fact the Atlanta restructured his deal more than once. They kicked the can down the road and are now eating 40 million. But to say that the compensation for Ryan was less than Wentz due to age AND contact size IMO is incorrect. Age .. yes but the cost to a new team would be the same for both players .

Where are you getting that Ryan is more expensive than Wentz ? They both look to have 2 years at almost the same price for each year....
