Things are FAR from sewn up, but right now the Broncos and Colts lead their respective divisions. If both finish first, we play again next season. I expect the Colts to win the South, and though the Broncos still have the Chiefs twice, NE, and SD (always have given Manning fits), there is a good shot they win the West. That means we play again next year. Yay! Again a lot of football is left, but we could see Manning the next few seasons if both teams continue their winning ways. AND the playoffs too if it shakes out...so Sunday night probably won't be the only time we face #18. Oh the fun, the media circus again!

Something I thought about ...

People have been trying to find Andrew's Tom Brady to Peyton's Manning but maybe Andrew is the new Tom Brady to Peyton

So my synopsis ... There won't be a young rival to rival Andrew but instead the constant rival for Andrew is actually Peyton

Or maybe Peyton is Luck's Tom Brady. That would be ironic.

I also have no idea what I'm saying here. Just ignore. I'm going on 4 hours of sleep and starting to feel loopy.

We have to wait not just till Sunday but SUNDAY NIGHT. God......the hoopla pre game can't end soon enough either and it has not even begun.

Night it the best time. If you think it is bad now wait until tomorrow, and right after the game ends. It will be pure pandemonium.

Agree!! Watched him get beat by Central Florida yesterday...Manziel would dogwalk central florida by himself..

 

I am a Cardinals and Colts fan from Louisville.

 

Teddy is as advertised, he posted a good game - D lost it for us, no pressure on their QB & couldn't stop the run.

 

Plus Central Florida is better than their no ranking shows.

 

Sorry, I'm bitter - coming to LOS tomorrow - hopefully that helps!

If we win.....

If we lose.... we're going to have difficulty making the playoffs..

that would be 3 losses to AFC teams we might have to beat out on tiebreakers

How do you figure when the Broncos will most likely have the 1 seed, Patriots 2, Bengals 3, Colts 4, Chiefs 5, and God knows 6th. 

 

If we beat the Chiefs, AND Cinci beats God knows, THEN we would get the Broncos.  But switch it, if were 3rd and Cinci is 4th, i do not see Cinci beating the Chiefs, then the Broncos would get the Chiefs and we would get the patriots.  Past the 2nd seed, all teams are close.  The 6th seed could easily beat a 3rd seed as it sits right now.

I won't be surprised if Denver is a one and done team again this year. They are like a mirror image of past Colts teams with nothing but big name receivers, a top pass rusher or so and not a whole lot else......

Dungy>Fox too.

like every year the playoffs are more about who play than your seed. If you get good match ups you can go on a run.

I put Fox on the same level I would Caldwell, always do what the book says you should do in that spot. Dungy would at least surprise you now and then. He also understood he had Peyton Manning and you don't tell him to take a knee and play OT with time on the clock and timeouts only needing a field goal. He would at least let Peyton take his shot.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Smonroe · Posted

      Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am….  But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.   And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.

      Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.

      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.
