what players could we have taken instead of Werner?  he seems to always be injured.

DeAndre Hopkins is basically Reggie Wayne Jr.

 

Xavier Rhodes is playing well

 

That being said, I think he will develop into a good player. Just unfortunate that we have so many guys getting hurt

dropping like flies is an understatement.  no excuses however.  it seems like the Patriots are always dealing with injuries.  They are undefeated and playing very well.  I hate to say next man up because I'm starting to toss-up in my mouth a little bit when I hear that, but............................

It's a football thing. I don't think the Colts have any more injuries than other teams.

will Carol who is an injury expert said a study done over the last 15 years showed the Colts have had more injuries than any other team in football over that span. Frankly makes all the winning we have done over that time more impressive.

Not all injuries are created equal. The Titans lost their QB for over a month, Packers lost starting LT before the season even started, Seahawks offensive line is a mess/Percy Harvin. It just gets old hearing this board whine as if other teams don't have to deal with the same issues.

Especially when our hated rival the Pats just lost one of there best players (Wilfork) for the season.

Actually, stats show that Indy is actually one of the most injury bitten teams, historically speaking

 

NO PROMOTIONAL POSTING ON THE SITE2013-articles/september/colts-injury-woes-continue-bradshaw-landry-and-jean-francois-out-for-sunday.html

 

I don't know about the Will Carol study. Will have to look at it.

 

As for the AGL stat, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Colts have more players injured. It means injured players missed more games.

 

Maybe the Colts have had more injuries, or been more adversely affected by them. I know 2010 was ridiculous.

Keep in mind that number was starters only, meaning we were missing enough top guys for long enough to equal about 90 games missed to injury in a 16 game season. Pretty crazy.

Did some research on this injury.  Looks like they cannot fix / repair the actual torn ligament, eventually scar tissue will form and bridge the gap where the tear is and thus the 6 week+ recovery time.  They start out with crutches (no weight bearing), then migrate to a boot with limited pressure then move from there into special orthotics and such.  This injury leads to other symptoms and other foot problems but he's young and will be prescribed special supportive cleats providing optimal support for the ligament, he then should be good.  The best article I could find on it is below.  The NBA sees a lot of these, same numbers as ACL injuries. Get well

And I said it didn't seem good for him.

He's out for 4-6 weeks

I was right .. Again.

U just guessed. I could say that about any player that leaves the field....and be right at times. Or u had some inside information that u kept secret.

I have my sources..

None were certain at the time of my first post.. Just speculation..

Just had a gut feeling that it wasn't a good sign..

      Regarding the other Game 7, I think Denver shows Minnesota who the Champ is, I like Denver in that one. Good luck @Yoshinator.

      me after Game 6! Yeah I have never seen such bias from the media in my life regarding any 1 series. At halftime, espn was playing GO NY GO NY, GO chants. It just isn't them, every single host on CBS radio are pulling for NY. What the hell did the Pacers do to deserve this kind of hate? I am puzzled. We aren't a dirty team, play beautiful basketball on offense. Usually people root for the underdog. Knicks are still favored to win the series. They are a 2 point favorite in Game 7. I hope we win big, as a fan, the media and NY fans made it personal with me after Game 5. I have sent our FO an e-mail saying make it personal, block out their crowd, block out the media, and bring it home.

      YouTube TV 2024 Sunday Ticket $199 Special ends May 16th

      It's apparent that the NFL is becoming what the NBA has already become.  It's not that far down the road that most all major sports games will be pay per view.

      YouTube TV 2024 Sunday Ticket $199 Special ends May 16th

      By Happy2BeHere · Posted

      I don’t want to pay for the TV package monthly…nor will I pay their ridiculous prices. I used to get the Student NFL ticket from DirecTV and it was only $100 for the whole season and I could watch wherever on my mobile devices….that was a great deal and I did it for many years in a row.   I can confirm that last year I did pay for NFL+ and I just watched the games sometimes after it was over…and with that subscription you can watch local live broadcasts…so I would use BitDefender VPN and I’d login to a server location that made it appear I was in a particular city within the broadcast map. However, BitDefender doesn’t have a location for Indiana so often times I’d set the location to the away teams location when possible.   I just need to find a VPN service that has locations in Indiana so that I can use the NFL+ again this year. If anyone knows of one offering servers in Indiana please do let me know….much more fun to watch live and interact on the forum during the game than to have to wait until it’s all over to rewatch it.
