Unlike previous years, Link hasn't been that bad. I remember him getting bull rushed by Antonio Garay. Haven't seen that lately; he's been more solid.
Shipley (I hope he's ok) hasn't been bad.
I'd like to see some good FA's and a focus on the O-line during the first round.
-
Should have put in Deji Karim (I'd heard they signed him). He couldn't have been any worse.

Arrowhead Stadium is a tough place to play.
I think the Colts could have easily taken this game today. I don't think that the Texans and their fans expected a game this close. One or two key plays and the game would have been different (thanks Mewelde).

What you are seeing here is a hiatus between times when Colts are AFC South Champs. I believe that this is what the op was trying to say.
Texans are good, yes. Schaub is aging and Luck will improve with time and an O-Line. Running game is starting to come together.
Defense is working and will improve wih new personnel and perhaps a coaching change at DB.
It's fun for the Texans to pretend that they are elite. That's ok. In my humble opinion, I really don't see them as an NFL team yet. I know that they are as they play in the NFL but when I think football, I don't think Houston Texans. I think Colts, Pats, Packers, Giants. Texans are like the Jags and Panthers to me. Is that what you meant, OP?

1) Do you have any feelings towards the Baltimore Colts as far as the history, including Johnny Unitas or do you view the Baltimore Colts as a completely different team and share no connection?
2) Is the rivalry with New England dead now that Manning is with the Broncos?
3) Since the Baltimore Colts beat the Cowboys in a superbowl, do we have 2 superbowl wins or did that superbowl win not transfer over?
4) How is the stadium experience, including the Colts store?
Lots of good questions.
1) I still tie the Colts with Baltimore, yes, but the name doesn't sound right anymore. That familiar feeling when you see them on the field in an NFL Films Production from way back. However, they are now the Indianapolis Colts and in a few years, they will have been in Indy for longer than they were in Baltimore. ALso, Baltimore has their Ravens now, a good franchise of its own right.
2) Less of a rivalry; still there, but I think new ones will develop. I think Pats fans hate the Colts, but they hate Manning more. Also, I can't hate the Patriots anymore....I know, sorry. I'm a Giants fan also and after watching Patriots lose in the last two minutes of each Super Bowl...the disappointed looks on the fans' (and Brady's) faces, I just can't hate them as much.
3) 2 SB's!!!!!! (same franchise=two wins). In fact, I heard (haven't been there) that they moved the Baltimore Colts display near the Baltimore Ravens displays. To do that would be factually incorrect.
4) Stadium experience ROCKS!!!! The great thing about Indy is that it is, although a big city (around 2 mill), it seems like a big small town (why I moved here). People, although somewhat uptight (I'm a GA boy and we are more laid back in the South), are relatively down to earth. Plus, it's a small enough city that you can go to community functions and see players. I've seen Vinatieri in Carmel before. Also, they do community events like the Gary Brackett challenge etc. ANyway, the stadium is great, wide open, and a very nice facility. You can see downtown out the big window and you don't have to leave your seat.
Edit: Also, if you're a fan of an opposing team, you'll get some comments but they are generally good natured and all in good fun. Never seen a fight there on that issue.

I'm not sure they understand.
Run D has been ok. Pass D, we've neglected. Not sure if it's too much personnel, space, scheme, etc.
-
Miami is walking all over us in regards to the pass.
How should they fix it?
-
Nicolas Jean-Baptiste DT (Baylor)
Dominique Hamilton DT (Missouri)
Ryan Steed CB (Furman)
Micah Pellerin CB (Hampton)
Chaz Powell CB (Penn State)
Janzen Jackson S (Mc Neese St.)
Kelcie McCray S (Arkansas Sate)
Lucas Nix OG (Pittsburgh)
Chase Ford TE (Miami)
Derek Moye WR (Penn State)
Dale Moss WR (South Dakota)
Ich liebe. I like it.
-
I like the Fleener pick and overall I think we addressed some holes.
I would have liked more O-line emphasis and maybe a CB. As for the DT position, I like the Chapman pick.
Hopefully, the WR's were underrated and will do well.
-
Well, we've always said that it wasn't a Colts draft if they didn't draft a TE.
-
Ta'amu is gone. He's a Steeler.
Is McKinney going to be our only NT?
Two TE's, a QB, a WR (who should have been a five or six rounder)-but no D in the draft as of yet.
-
I like it. I'd like another WR and maybe a CB if possible. I also like that Univ. of Miami RB-maybe he'd be like our last RB from the U.
-
Took at TE too early. I would have liked Cordy Glenn.
-
Not only is Peyton a Bronco, Unitas is a Charger!
I can't wait to ride in one of those newfangled horseless carriages.
-
Coaches determine the scheme, not the GM
If that would be the case then you would be correct in saying "coaches." Plural, which makes me think that Polian had more involvement than a lot of GM's, except for Jerry Jones. It's not an absolute that we are going to a 3-4, but recent signings say it's likely. New GM...new scheme...hmm.
-
Albert Haynesworth! Big strong body who commands a double team, he'd be motivated knowing he'd be part of the rebuilding process here. His contract isn't bad either!
Big guy who has had some good games but I think that he'd be a locker room problem. He'd cost us a lot in penalties because he cannot control his temper.
-
Polian really >>>ed the pooch on us with these long term insanely priced contracts
Agreed. And with his unwillingness to change any schemes.
-
I thought I would root for the Broncos....until I saw Manning hold up his Bronco jersey. He had the same look that Eli had when he was drafted by the Chargers. Same smile, etc. He didn't look particularly excited.
I hope Manning does well with Denver, but not too well. Then, I hope he returns to the Colts organization in some capacity after he retires. He's a Colt, not a Bronco.
-
I'm liking the D-line moves and, as others have said, would like to see more at CB.
I hope they sign a FA DT and then get another in the draft. The same would be true at CB.
-
I'd like to see better blocking from Brown. He does have speed and awareness. Perhaps with a better O-line, we'll see a significant difference.
I hope to see a lot form Carter, too. Fewer fumbles. I love the way the guy keeps plowing. They have the potential to be a good 1-2 punch.
-
Luck seems like a very boring person..at least Manning had some personality..
He seemed very nervous but I can understand that. He seemed humble, as Peyton does. Good quality. I remember the Leaf/Manning thing. I think that Leaf would have been great but his attitude got in the way. His ego was the problem and he couldn't admit mistakes. I don't see that in Luck.
No off the field problems with Luck. He'll be in bed by 9pm.
-
lets just hope luck doesn't wind up looking like this in a few years
Man, Steve Perry let himself go.
-
I think Orlovsky signed with TB, but he would be adequate if not.
Signing someone like Delhomme (if he had a short contract with Houston) to guide whoever we draft might not be a bad idea.
What's Bruce Gradkowski doing?
-
I think that Carter will have a better year if he can work on the fumbles.
I have a feeling that Addai may be back with us also after the draft. Maybe not but I don't think people have called him. Anyone heard otherwise?
For Stewart, I'd be behind that signing.
(Every time we talk RB's, I miss Edgerrin).
Props to the Defense

I agree completely. He was nailing WR's right up the middle.
