[Colts hang an AFC Finalist banner]

then there would still be a banner for last season because they make hats for winning the division which the Colts did.

 

Yes, that's something they actually won, that's my point.   Division champs, Conference Champs, SB Champs, get a hat, hang a banner.  To quote Ken Nunn, it's just that easy  .

[TY Hilton Contract Speculation (Merge)]

_{I like TY, but I think they should be willing to let him go.   And I do think that impacted the choice to draft Dorsett.  I hate to say it, but the Pats have been the best at cap management for a while now, and one thing they're consistent about is they never spend big $ on WRs.}

[Colts hang an AFC Finalist banner]

_{It's not a huge deal, but I don't really like commemorating a game where you got blown out.   It's obviously not my call, but if it was, I'd have one very simple rule: if you don't make hats for it, then don't make a banner for it.}

[Who would you want to win the AFC if the colts don't]

Kansas City.

[Our Greatest threat(AFC team) in 2015]

I just think it's still the Pats.  And it's not just that they've had our number.  They're just a good measure of toughness.  If this year's Colts team is tough enough, mentally and physically, to beat New England, then they're tough enough to win it all.  If not, well....

[If Tannehill Got 96 mil, and Wilson will get more...What will Luck get]

8 years, $200,000,000.00

[How well would the Colts do if Hasselbeck had to start 16 games?]

I think he'd have a .500 or better record in the games he started, but I think we'd be lucky if he lasted through week 10.

[Early 10 predictions on the colts 2015 season]

Not ten, but here's one: Luck has the kind of season that makes Jim Irsay regret waiting on his extension, and he signs the NFL's first $200 Million contract.

[all these weapons benefits more then just luck]

In order to win titles then the lines need to be better than average or good. Average lines are fine for

showboating during the regular season,but to go far in the post season the lines need to be top notch.

I don't totally agree with this (almost), but I liked this post mainly because you know the difference between "then" & "than". 

[How Did You Become A ColtsFan?]

One night these Mayflower trucks rolled into town, and the next morning Indiana had an NFL team. 

[Colts sign Vincent Brown]

In his 1st 3 years, Luck has thrown about 1800 passes. Of those, about 300 were thrown to this group: Avery, DHB, Rogers, Whalen & Brazill. Almost exactly 1/2 of those were actually caught. I don't think it's a stretch to say that there was room for improvement in WR depth.

[Hard Knocks?]

I think it would make for a great show, with several interesting storylines.  But no, they shouldn't do it.  Even if they weren't exemptigible. 

[Resign nicks?]

TY, AJ, Moncrief. Carter & Nicks as 4th & 5th WRs? Sure!

[All FA Concerns/Gripes/Complaints (Mega Merge)]

What's wrong with Chip Kelly?

I don't think it's Kelly. I think Gore heard the rumors that the 9ers were shopping Kaep, & got sacred that he might be playing with him again.

[Report: Mutual interest between Colts and Andre Johnson (merge)]

But there is a contract now. They don't have to release him. They might be bluffing, but I don't know if he'd call their bluff. (Then again, the whole story might be made up.)

Edit- looks like he's been released, so unless he agreed to some terms 1st, it looks like he's free game. Go for it!

[Report: Mutual interest between Colts and Andre Johnson (merge)]

That is the dumbest thing I've ever read. There's no contract between him and the Texans once they release him. He's free to go.

 

But there is a contract now.  They don't have to release him.  They might be bluffing, but I don't know if he'd call their bluff.  (Then again, the whole story might be made up.)

[Adrian Peterson headed to the NFC East?]

AP will probably retire, then change his mind & sign with the Pats for 100 bucks a game & some free lobster.

[Credit to the coaching staff (merge)]

How does that not make sense to you? Of course it's an option, and it's a good one at that. Taking a field goal is always a solid option when it puts you ahead by 2 scores with 4 minutes left in the game. If anything, it was the right call. Better than passing for the endzone, risking an interception and giving manning the ball with 4 minutes and a one score deficit.

True. The home loss to the Eagles is a good example of this very point.

[who should give the team an inspirational speech this week?]

Bruce Arians.

[If you had to pick 1 defensive player to have great game]

Josh Chapman.  Stuff the run, & get pressure up the middle.

[Russell Wilson will be the highest-paid QB]

I don't think Luck will be extended this season. But yeah, it's only going to cost more year after year. Good thing the cap is going up.

 

Just my opinion, but I think the Colts would be crazy not to go ahead and get Luck's extension done this off-season.  You know you're going to pay the man, so don't mess around.  Get him signed, so Grigs can know exactly what he has to work with.  

[What is up with Skip Bayless?]

Bayless isn't a real person. He's an actor playing a role on TV, reading from a script written to get a prescribed response from a selected audience. Kinda like Rush Limbaugh.

[Boom Herron's performance today]

I agree that Boom needs to work on ball security (duh.)  But with our two best RBs out, and TRich iffy even when healthy, I think the Colts have these 2 options: 

1.) You can run the ball, but you might have a fumble at some point in the game.

2.) You can't run the ball.

[Patriots vs Colts SNF Predictions]

Neither team has beaten a good team on the road yet.  I predict that will continue, 37-27 Colts.

[Patriot Game Can Reshape the Playoff Picture]

I think the Colts & Pats are pretty evenly matched. Both have lost 2 road games, 1 in a blowout. Difference in records is 1 home game (Philly) that the Colts gave away. As far as I can tell, neither has beaten a good team on the road yet.
