Great insight to the situation. Makes a ton of sense.

Regulatorsssss...mount up

When Houston beat us week one last season they thought they had one the superbowl and forgot you play sixteen games. See the same thing this year.

The more the pay goes up the more tickets go up. I don't know about you, but I feel like it cost way to much for tickets. Avg. NBA salery is higher than NFL yet tickets are way cheaper.

Gunner Kiel will be our no.1 pick in five years.

How good of a job are the Colts (front office,coaches,and players) doing. Think of this as an approval rating. Feel free to give a reason, but please do not comment about other peoples post. This is a opinion on the Colts, and not other peoples thoughts. The break down would be offense, defense, special teams, coaches, and front office.
Offense: A- why; When 100% healthy Colts offense would be an A, but due to last season and some training camp setbacks, injuries are the only way to stop Manning and his weapons. Now I for one think Manning plays week one. If not I see a vet coming in to take snaps. I think the o-line will improve each week, creating a good run game to compliment the passing game. Are runningbacks have alot to prove this season. From an ageing vet with some past injury issues in Joe, to Donald Brown showing why we took him and not letting an upcoming rookie( carter) take his spot just yet. As for are pass catchers, stay healty boys, like are group. Overall as long as Manning is 80% he will still find a way to put points up.
Defense: C+ why: We are an average defense who has the potential to be really good, or really sub par. When we have the lead is when we are obviously at are best, but with some of the new guys we could be good at all times. Are d-line needs to prove they can stuff the run. New additions were brought in for this reason. Nevis seems to be a gem, havn't seen the vet free agents enuff to pass judement yet. Linebackers will be intresting. Will anybody step up? Secondery looks a little suspect. Bethaea will be good as usual, after that we will see. Overall the defense looks to have some upside as long as we tackle.
Special teams: B why: As long as are punter dosn't do another Michael Phellps, and Mr. Clutch is kicking are kickers look great. The weakness here is are coverage teams. Kickoffs being moved up will help (sorry Bears), but we still have to punt some. We have no return game, unless someone comes from left field I don't know the answer. Overal are kickers do good enuff to get a passing grade, but could be better on returns and coverage.
Coaches: A- why: Coach Caldwell has overall done a good job after being an all most unherd of to coach of one of the best teams in the NFL. He went to the Superbowl and imop did his best coaching last season, leading the team into the playoffs in an injury riddled year( I know Manning had alot to do with it). He has made some iffy calls, but has done a nice job of keeping the Colts the Colts. At least he dosn't run his mouth like the Ryans. Coach Christensen seems ready to add a little more of his style to the offense. Coach Coyer has a lot to prove. This def seems to have lost a step since Meeks left. If the Texans run wild he might not fill presure from fans, but the front office as well.
Fromt office: B+ why: In 2002 the Colts had a choice to move to L.A. Thank goodness they didn't. This act alone deserves an A+, and has set a tone for what the Colts stand for. So befor Manning took less money than he could have, the meaning of being a Colt was set in the values of the franchise and the community laid before it. That aside are personel department has done a verry good job judgeing talent. The lasr few years have been not as good but that seems to be more due to injury. Overall the front office has done great job makeing us a contender every year and doing so much for not just Indy, but the entire state.

I honestly do believe that Peyton is in danger of not playing up to his abilities this is a serious injury folks.
For the normal human. Manning might not be your average joe.
-
Just a note looking at that draft year, there were four notable backs drafted behind him, Beenie Wells, LaSean Mcoy, Shon Green, and Javon Ringer. Mcoy is the only one who has been head and shoulders better imop.
-
I can't lable Brown just yet. But what does everyone think will determine if he is a bust or not. Does he need to rush for a set amount of yards or does he just need to play 20 downs a game and be mistake free. I personally think the later. With Carter looking to be short yardage back and Joe being the starter, what role does Brown fit is my biggest question?
-
media ninja thats just awesomeI agree, I think it's funny he can screw with the national media but at the same time it can, tease, confuse and worry Colts fans like us. Maybe it's a necessary evil, perhaps Irsay is a media ninja using deceptive tactics to tool with them?

You would have to cut his neck off for him not to play
-
I am not bashing them.I will admit i think without peyton we would be 3-13 or worse.I love the team and would still root for them.I have seen my share of 1-15 seasons and never jumped ship and will not now.I'm not trying to call you out, I read your posts and respect your views, even if some differ.
most people on here express hate, not dissagreement, and thats what I was saying, sorry if you thought it was at you.
-
Our future with out Manning could be a senior in highschool. Have faith the front office will find a replacement for Manning. He still goimg to be around for 5 more years. We can never replace the greatesr but we will come close. If we can't find a kid who will bw the franchise, will have Mannings money to buy one via free agency.

Your a joke,i have been a colt fan since they were in baltimore.
I was jk. I don't think think there are alot of bandwagon fans. I think a lot of people are Manning fans and not Colt fans. Most people on this forum are like this. How can you bash all the front office and the personel, except Manning, and claim to be a Colts fan. Most people hate every move the Colts do. Then everyone says we suck without Manning. Sounds like most are Manning fans and not Colt fans, so when Manning calls it quits, do so most so called Colts fans?

Go cheer for the other teams then

He has matched Manning, 0-2 in ther first two pro starts.

How do you know what most Colts fan know, and dont know, im pretty sure most of these people who visit this colts forum know who Curtis Painter is, and what he is about. In my opinion, he has been nothing short of awful, every opportunity he has gotten has been hard to watch. He looks lost when he is on the field. I know it is hard to match what Peyton does on the field, and i dont think any other QB in the league can match what he does, let alone Curtis Painter, but at least show that you can throw a football when you get your opportunity.
-
So if Painter is as bad as what somw are saying, what did you say Mannings first two games when he threw 1td and 3ints both games. Seems to me, Painter may of had a better pro carrer if you went by stats of the first two games in your rookie year. I know theres a lot of pressure when your the first pick but, I think trying to keep a perfect season intact might be more.
-
I think it would be legendery for the colts to go 0-6, then Manning comes back and wins 10 straight, on the way to Superbowl win. Who am I kidding, I never want the Colts to get beat.
-
The real reason is, he's worried he get his * kicked.
-
I could be wrong, but dosn't our line give up the least sacks like every year?

You must be a bears fan.
