John Gruden picks Colts to win more than 5


Hoosier Colts Fan

Recommended Posts

Just heard Gruden say more than 5 wins for the Colts on ESPN Sports Center over/under. He said he's spent much time with Andrew and that he expects there to be momentf of brilliance. Had a pretty big smile when talking about our QB -- (maybe he has a man crush-- ). Anyway, I just never get tired of hearing glowing praise for our new guy and our Colts.

BTW is Thursday's game a sell-out?

Yes, Gruden has a HUGE man-crush on our boy, Andrew.

Need more proof? Check out the video of Andrew's visit to Gruden's QB camp that ESPN did back in March and then repeated all the time.

Remember all the talk about Spider 2/3-Y Banana? When Andrew is at the White Board and Gruden is calling out all sorts of plays and Andrew is drawing them up quickly as if he's a 30-year veteran offensive coordinator there's a shot of Gruden in his chair with a great satisfied smile on his face. You could easily tell Gruden was falling head over heels in love with Luck.

Wouldn't even surprise me if Gruden would someday like to be the HC of the Colts with Luck as his QB.

He's got a big man-crush on Andrew. And I don't think he's shy about putting it on display.... :thmup:

Gruden only does MNF. And MNF is the only thing that makes Mondays bearable

It is, but still.......... Mondays suck lol. And it's only bearable if the teams that are playing are actually worth watching. But putting a game like..... the jets vs the dolphins or something makes Mondays that much worse

Those games won't do much for Sundays either.

    Encouraging and disappointing at the same time.

    • You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.
    • They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash. 
    • Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.     
    • Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light. 
    • Insane that this has been going on since 2015. From what I gather it’s due to the NFL making Sunday Ticket too expensive on purpose so only a select amount of people can purchase it, forcing most to use CBS and Fox.
