Worst case scenario

Recommended Posts

Dude are you serious? When did I ever say "Colts suck"? I was calling out all those with the "setting up for failure" predictions of 10-6, 9-7, or 8-8. It's not realistic. I hope those people now realize that. When did I ever say the entire Colts fan base said they'd go 9-7? Never. So don't try and spin it like I'm calling your team awful at every turn I get. I wasn't doing that and any rational person could see that.

I can't even imagine anybody thought they were going 9-7 or 10-6 . They do suck , and around here and after all these years of kicking butt it isn't sitting well . So any kind of ridicule will be met with resistance. I am a Colt's fan long enough to remember the waning suckage of the Baltimore era , the early Indy days, and the Jeff George early 90's era, so I might be able to handle it a teenie bit better than most. Nobody is going to feel sorry for the Colt's fans after all these years and we get that, but be gentle .

Judgeing by the people's reactions to your post including a mod I would say not every rational person can see that. In fact I think a lot of rational people do think you were trying to get a reaction out of Colts fans which is the very defenation of trolling. Again, rather I think you were or not doesn't really matter. The mod did and she pretty much warned you that you were standing right on that line. I am just suggesting to you that you might want to listen to her.

I also didn't say you said that the entire fan base said that we would go 9-7. So don't try to put those words in my mouth either. What I said and what you are trying to do is spark a reaction out of Colts fans. If you don't want Colts fans to pick on your Texans then don't pick on Colts fans and try to get a reaction out of them. It's a two way street.

Yes, I was trying to get a reaction...out of SOME around here. I wasn't talking to anybody who thinks they'll go under .500 this year. That's pretty obvious since those words are staring you right in the face.

And I'm sure Nadine is a Colts fan and gets confused at times just like all of us do. If she wants to talk to me in private so be it.

Which is trolling and is against the rules...That's why she gave you the warning to not do it. As I've told people in the past playing I told you so on a message board doesn't go over very well. If you are right and right enough over and over you don't need to play I told you so people will notice it and frankly will probably respect you more and value your opinion slightly more if you don't play I told you so.

Playoffs were never really in the picture. There was a very slight chance, but that's it. Only the over-optimistic thought we'd make the playoffs.

This season is about getting Luck and the new faces comfortable with the syetem. We get another high pick next year and that's when we start our climb back to the top.

Whatever. It was a serious question, although I tried to lighten it a bit with a smiley, apparently that made it worse.

Nobody said that, but if you come to rub our faces in your Texan greatness or whatever and ridicule a section of fans then we as Colts fans are going to collectively be poed, whether we are overly optimistic or not.

I didn't rub your face in Texan greatness. I never said nor have I ever said that the Colts suck either. I don't know where this part of your argument is coming from.

Nice...I applaud you, sir! That was really funny! Really, tell me more, make me laugh. You must be a regular comedian. I've been laughing since the beginning of the season...

Neither will being negative and buffoonish when you can't form a valid argument. It seems you're learning a lesson from a 'kid' today. Continue, you're only making yourself look worse.

I think it takes quality to judge quality, wouldn't you say.

You know other than the Packers and probably the Patriots I am not sure if there is a team on our schedule that given the right scenario we can't beat but you can say that about any team in the NFL. I think we are going to see what we saw on Sunday more often though and that's a young team that is learning how to win in the NFL which is normally really painful because it's going to mean losing some games that they should have won every team goes threw that though. I'll say this this year is already better than last because at least more weekends than not you can feel like the Colts at least have a shot where as most Sundays last year the game was over before it ever started.

Paul Justin and the 0-13 Colts beat the defending SB champion Packers and Brett Favre in 96 ot 7 I believe so it has happened. But it is highly unlikely.

I was at that game. We were supposed to get our butt spanked that day.

Something that I found amusing about that day was seeing a whole lot of people wearing green and gold that were cheering like crazy when we won.

Packer fans are generally pretty classy, at least all the ones I have met.

Most these teams are thinking this is a sure win or winnable game on the other side too.

    • Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.     
    • And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know. 
    • But if the Colts sign someone next week or the week after then it really doesn’t matter.    I would’ve preferred we sign some two weeks ago.   Get them familiar with the DC and position coach.   But once we didn’t then it really doesn’t matter when.  It just matters that we do it before camp opens.  At least to me.    And the fact no one else is signing these top FA safeties tells me the market just isn’t there yet.   I’m preaching a healthy dose of patients.  
    • How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas). 
    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
