and so it begins...

or should I say that it continues...

 

I saw this on ESPN.com in the comments section of a blog entry entitled "RTC: Colts are Super Bowl contenders."

 

 

Super Bowl bound? The Colts looked good, really good, but don't forget, they barely beat a Seahawks team with TONS of injuries right now, at home. Definitely going to be a team to watch though, Luck is a special QB.

 

 

Is it really so hard to give over a win without saying, well, yeah, but we got injuries.  It sounds just like the aftermath of the Colts vs. 49ers game.

 

Suck it up, people.  No team is 100% right now.

[CanuckColt]

Well, on NFLnet tonight they agreed that the Colts look like the 2nd best team in the AFC right now.

[Indygal1218]

Yeah, I saw that.  Second behind Denver, which is just a given until they show a weak spot.

They went the injuries route? I thought for sure they would bring up "but the seahawks are a a lesser team on the road" argument.

[21isSuperman]

Every team has injuries.  We are missing Landry and Donald Thomas among others.

[ColtsFanMikeC]

Landry, RJF, Bradshaw, Thomas, Havili -- that is 5 starters we were down.  Plus Werner, who plays a pretty large role, and a role that has been increasing week by week.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Not to mention our best tight end is out for the season

[Devildog]

We should get Landry, RJF, and Havili in time for the Broncos game. Plus we have Brazill who just got elevated to the roster.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

The injuries argument cannot be used against us. We were missing our starting TE, RB (to begin the season, best or 2nd best lineman, safety, main run stopping DE and best or 2nd best RB. Need I say more?

[pgt_rob]

LOL. We barely beat a Seattle team with lots of injuries. Hell, we could make another full team with all of our injuries.

[Jules]

Yeah I forgot...we are totally healthy. Always are. We never lose key players or have injuries.

 

I mean when people think of the Colts they think of the health of our players first and our award winning training program that keeps them from ever even scraping an elbow.

 

Sigh......

Yeah, only the Seahawks have injuries to deal with.  Didn't you know? 

 

Quotes like this are just silly.  You hit the nail on the head Indygal, every team deals with injuries.  No excuses.  And if it is an excuse for a team, they don't deserve the respect.

I love how Seahawks fans all preseason were proclaiming: "Yeah our backups are better than most teams starters"  And now they lose a game and it's: "Oh we had our backups playing so....you wouldn't beat us at full strength."  It's pathetic.

In my experience, seahawks fans suffer from a percieved redheaded step child syndrome. They think everyone else hates them and they lose because other teams are more popular. They often tie it to east coast sports media bias.

[esmort]

They have no room to complain to the Colts about injuries .... I would have gladly given the Seahawks all of their injured players back if we got all of ours.  I think they would regret that deal.

[Warhorse]

You guys would have loved this........

 

Just at the liquor store with my wife and her Colts shirt, and the guy at the counter said, (You need to leave the store and pointed at her shirt (he was joking). I said...

 

"You must be a Seahawks fan".

 

Ba da bum.

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Hey guys...just to throw this out there now that week 5 is done and over with....

There are 6 teams in the NFL with one or fewer losses: Denver, Indy, New England, Kansas City, New Orleans, and Seattle.  Out of all those one loss or better teams, the Cots have had the hardest strength of schedule AND the best strength of victory.

[BOTT]

Yeah, I saw that.  Second behind Denver, which is just a given until they show a weak spot.

I would consider a defense that gives up 48 to the Cowboys a possible weak spot.

[Deathiltis]

ESPN have to make excuses for their precious Super Bowl picks. Stop whining, the Colts are just as injured as any team in the NFL. These media "experts" need to get their facts right, sad thing is their too dumb to ever do it.

It was from the comments not an actual ESPN writer.
