I miss Jeff George's Mom. He was soooo touted yet still needed a baby bottle in the NFL. I miss outdoor football...in the snow, rain...in the blood, sweat, and tears.

I CRAVE a team that started out with 53 rookies or those with 1's next to their name...with a new GM and head coach that rolled up their sleeves, locked the door...watched tape..in order to take us to the next level again.

I miss Peyton Manning, but can see him every week...love that!

I miss fans that support the team week in and week out! Period. We were on our way to 0-16.....and some of us still wanted to see a win every week....at least we were 2-14! Till the day I die....GO... :blueshoe: :blueshoe: :blueshoe: :blueshoe: ! :coltslogo: :coltslogo: :coltsfb::colts::coltshelmet: :throwback: :helmet: :shoe:

I miss anticipation of a possible undefeated season or the upcoming playoffs. It'll take me a while to get back into debating over whether or not games will be blacked out or should the Colts really be ranked as the 32nd team in the league.

But, don't worry. It'll come back to me. I had 25 years of practice from Bert Jones till Peyton Manning.

...and heck I'll still have someone familiar to root for when January gets here.

You know what I miss?

I MISS Donald Brown!!! He got Injured several times in the Season & I had to part ways with him this Season. Drafted me a RB from Texas who so far, has been excellent..... but I'll never forget Brown. :( #Madden12

For a thread catering to dreamers and those whom have lost touch with reality....that seems an appropriate response.

I miss the days when a player would score and just toss the ball to the ref instead of putting on a one man show in the endzone. I miss the days when a defensive player would get a sack, maybe get a hand slap from a teammate and then head to the huddle without doing some kind of dance.

I also miss Edge making guys miss and looking so elusive, and Peyton making a perfect throw that made my jaw drop in disbelief.

I then get really excited looking at the current roster wondering how quickly Luck will develop some chemistry with this young core which will then result in me thinking less of the past.

I just don't get why everyone acts like the Colts are guarenteed to be successful again. We could be looking at losing seasons for the next decade..... You never know!

I LOVE the big what if games...I'll start. If my aunt had a #%$* she'd be my uncle!

Everyone acts like Andrew Luck is going to be the next Peyton Manning and that we are going to be just as dominant or more, for the next decade.

seriously? lets just go out on a limb and say we're not. big fricken deal. not going to lose any sleep over it. and the great manning wasnt going to take us to the promise land either. in 13 years we won one and lost one. you think he was going to rattle off some more sb wins with our team ran into the ground like it was.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday

      We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?

      Here's to hoping Colts hit the jackpot and everyone looks back saying wow he was definitely the best wr in that draft...
