[Any updates on Freeman and Bradshaw?]

...and with Bradshaw off to IR, Csmopar wins the prize!

[Ahmad Bradshaw to IR]

Loved Bradshaw, but his six game line was 31 carries for 85 yards and 10 receptions for 64 yards (3TDs). Not impossible to replace.

[Million dollar question]

Easiest million dollar question ever: Luck seven days a week.

[Any chance Luck is back for the Steelers game?]

Seems foolish to rush him in, at Pittsburgh, without his blind side Tackle.

[Whitehurst claimed by the Colts]

Nashville, Tennessee - Official home of the Colts Backup QB club

[Doyel stirring the pot regarding Luck]

Though I've liked much of his work, some is just lazy "let's get a reaction and get noticed" contrived garbage. I think he's better than that.

[Tim Tebow]

There are few backup QBs on current rosters capable of winning games, and even fewer if any currently that are Free Agents or practice squads capable. So with Tebow, why bother? If we are relying on a QB beyond Hass, we have no chance.

[Yeah we get all excited about chud.....]

I always wanted Pep to succeed, and he did so based on offensive stats over the past three seasons. However, I think he lacked creativity and imagination that ultimately was ineffective against well prepared defenses. I also think he was not able to adapt given the cards he was dealt - a struggling O Line. Chud came in and made a few slight but good changes - he stuck to the run, involved the tight Ends, mostly shorter routes, and keeping Luck moving in the pocket. I think Pep is a decent coach and a fine man, and I know nothing much about Chud. However, I don't think we would have won with Pep yesterday.

[Predictions for Sunday vs. Broncos]

I'm smelling an upset here, just like back in 2012 when the Broncos came in undefeated, and we sent them home with their 1st loss of that season.

 

Colts - 27

Broncos - 24

This is the winner!

[The real MVP of the game...]

Bradshaw had a great fourth quarter block, and his TD was dandy. Vinnie and a huge 55 yarder with leg to spare was huge; a miss would have given Denver great field position. A real team win today.

[Injury report? Actives/inactives?]

While most understand hanging around an NBA is easier than playing I an NFL game, I'd bet TY would be off his feet if he were in discomfort enough to preclude him playing against Denver.

[Injury report? Actives/inactives?]

TY was at Pacers game last night with Pep, Freeman, and Bradshaw. Something tells me he'll play tomorrow.

[Its Week 6 and I'm stumped about one key element that seems to be missing]

Sorry he's not a first year Fantasy Football god for you. First year receivers are typically n development mode.

[Colts make Roster Moves]

I skipped a heart beat as I was thinking we sign a QB. This move makes sense given the comments on injured LBs. No offense to Thigpin, but Griff has been solid enough, albeit not spectacular.

[The Patriots pre-game thread -- Week 6 (merge)]

Hum - the Colts will hardly be a pushover at home coming off a mini bye. Am I the only who thinks the Colts have the talent to beat anyone? Most know this, but he betting line fluctuates with the bets - Vegas want equal money bet on both teams and if everyone bets on New England, the spread increases to entice money toward Colts.

[Tyler Varga to IR]

Varga is a guy easy to cheer for, but he's more of a Special Teamer than anything.

[Mathis Breakout? - Nate Solder to IR]

Bad development to lose a good Starting LT just days before a big game, no?

[Griff Whalen]

Replacing Griff on returns will likely not win any games. Having a 1-2 punch to complement Gore likely will. We have an effective RB who is older, and therefore needs a second back to help carry the load. The current incumbents are not doing so. Nothing against the new player, but IMO Bradshaw would make us a more formidable team.

[Colts Sign WR Marcus Thigpen/Release QB Josh Johnson (Merge)]

Bradshaw instead of a injured/fumbling rookie can more likely help us win than a return guy who replaces a serviceable return guy.

[Colts Sign WR Marcus Thigpen/Release QB Josh Johnson (Merge)]

So Griff contributes as a decent return guy - his return to start second half set the tone....and he's replaced? I want Bradshaw to compliment Gore.

[Whats the thinking]

All NFL teams have talent, and all wins especially on the rosd are good, especially when the opponent could turn their slow start around with a win.

[SCTTS; less than 60% chance Luck v NE (Merge)]

No use rushing him back. This is an L regardless.

Ridiculous - not conceding anything.

[On the Hail Mary]

Interfere and setting up an untimed play at the one yard line is better than the 3 Stooges routine. I've seen many miracle catches with the ball somehow land in the receiver's hand. But I've not seen one where the receiver was so open before. Live and learn.

[Pep called a Wonderful Game.]

Gutsy call at the end - huge

[1st Visit to Indy and Stadium: Need advice]

Pgt_rob mentioned it - the Sailors & Soldiers Monument is the most taken for granted sculpture - it's beautiful but no one seems to realize it! Notice the war scenes on one side and the other devoted to peace, carved out of limestone. You can take steps (or slow elevator) to the top; views are just okay. Also unique is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and its museum - it a 20 minute or so drive from downtown. The zoo is tucked cleverly downtown; the Eiteljorn Museum of western art in highly regarded, as is the Children's Museum.
