Do i really need to say? Its luck of course. Wilson is a game manager punk, let's be honest.

Honestly we see different things when watching the games.

 

 

There are close to 30 teams that wish they has such a manager. That's a good system in Seattle. Maybe some other teams will emulate it next season. It is a copy cat league.

Yes but the eye test is even bigger.

Your standards of a long shot are extraordinarily low.

The eye test does reveal a lot though. It reveals one guy on an extremely talented team top to bottom. And another who is on a team with holes everywhere.

Same 15 year old argument. You should tweet Irsay about it.

Nothing impacts a team more than a QB. Just look at Brady this year as proof positive.

Perfect example. Bad D, bad running, and bad WRs didn't effect Brady early this year? Thanks for the help on that one.

I better go apologize to that Baltimore D back in 2000. I was crediting them incorrectly in that SB season. Whereas I should have been crediting Trent Dilfer. As he had the greatest impact of all.

Oh man I have to apologize to the Buccaneers too....

And yet through it all the Patriots are 9-3. Why? Because they have a great QB.

Yes. A great veteran QB. Who even as great as he is, struggled around a bad team.

Correct. Glad we agree bad teams can bring down even the best QB.

When did they bring down Brady? They're 9-3 despite Mayo, Wilfork, Kelly, Denard, Hernandez, Vollmer, Gronk, Vereen and Welker. All gone, out for the season or missed significant time. And I left some out. They are winning.

I was unaware you can't win games if a QB struggles. Interesting.

If you want to put your fingers in your ears and pretend Tom didn't struggle earlier this year when the offensive injuries were at their worst, more power to you.

I mean you're wrong, but got to respect someone who's willing to stick to their guns.

The saints have the 2nd best record so even if they go to the AFC championship. They will go back to Seattle. Not only that, I don't see any NFC teams going to Seattle to beat them there. Here are the possible teams:

-Cardinals

-49ers

-Lions

-Panthers(closest chance)

-Cowboys (LOL! Romo will be paranoid from last time)

-Philly

-Chicago(maybe!)

-Green Bay

-Giants(best chance...they can beat anyone)

Well pretty much it's closed up, Sea hawks vs the best AFC team...

the Seahawks go to the afc championship game ? That would be a fun twist

Wrong? He's still struggling but getting much better. The only reason they were winning was because of him. With a lesser QB/LEADER the team would have folded before the season started. I give the coach much credit as well. YES they win because of BB and Brady. Put those two in Texas or Indy for example and they're competing for a SB THIS season. Without them not so much.

lmao I like how you're twisting this to be a discussion about wins when we are talking about stats, and how a subpar team can affect the stats of a QB.

Wilson far better than Brady this year?

Stats? As a great coach once said (The greatest in fact)"Stats are for losers".

Winning is for winners.

So you're a loser for comparing Wilson's stats to Luck's to make the argument he's far better?

You're an odd fellow, but whatever floats your boat.

I liked Wilson before I even looked at those stats. Plus Dusty said Luck was better than Wilson when he's clearly not. You can use a stat to back a point but not to make one. Brady wins without stats. Who else does that?

Luck does that since apparently his stats don't impress you, yet he wins lmao.

Also Tim Tebow, but let's keep that Pandora's box closed shall we?

I do believe your quote was that stats are for losers. Not "Stats are only for loser if they aren't backing something up with them."

Wilson is better than Brady cuz stats. Logic.

You are trying though. Like I said. There is something admirable about what it is you do.

Luck and the Colts are mediocre. I would take Wilson over Brady in a heartbeat at this point.

      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.

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      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
