Kind of ironic that of the 4 last standing we beat 3 of the 4.

Just couldn't win the one that mattered most!

Still a great great year. Not sure who I want to win in the SB. I think overall manning of course. But what more you could ask for, best offense vs best defense. They say defense wins championships but I think that's not going to be the case this year.

Manning is on fire and he is just so focused on winning this year, I expect it to be a good game though.

To be the man, you've got to beat the man !!

You've got to wonder if thats been done before. Maybe if the Pats had of won the SB then we could have claimed bragging rights over number 2 spot in league by way of beating Bronos, 49ers and Seahawks in regular season ;-) I'll be rooting for Peyton and the Broncos as not only will Peyton win another deserved ring he'll also probably save Richard Shermans life as the guys head might explode fuelled by this mouth if the Seahawks win. Yeah you might be the 'best corner in the league' Sherman but Andrew and TY spent a game making you look average! :-) :-)

Regular season different than playoffs.

 

Yeah, what are the odds that both the Ravens and Steelers miss the playoffs the same year? When was the last time that happened? Gosh, I can't even remember. Those 2 teams will always be a hard out.

How many times has that happened since 2006?

 

Every single time.

 

2006 Colts, 2007 Giants, 2008 Steelers, 2009 Saints, 2010 Packers, 2011 Giants, 2012 Ravens have all played the NFC East and the Patriots in the regular season. Of course, the Giants are in the NFC East but they played the Pats in the regular season in the 2007 and 2011 seasons.

 

Till the 2006 AFCCG, Belichick had a very good record vs teams he faced twice in a season after facing them once in the regular season. Since then, it has been down the toilet during the second meeting. 2006 Colts, 2007 Giants, 2009 Ravens, 2010 Jets (though it was the 3rd time), 2011 Giants, 2012 Ravens, 2013 Broncos

 

To be honest, for all the research that ESPN does about the Eagles home opener stuff, they should call me for patterns that go further back than 2009 :)

Interesting.  I would have guess three times max. 

 

If you need a reference for the ESPN gig, you can use me. :)

True dat but we also lost to the Rams, Cardinals and Dolphins who were home watching the playoffs.  So perspective.  We were good this year but not consistent or more importantly healthy enough to go all the way.  Lots of work to do this off-season.

The Seahawks also lost to us and the Cardinals, so what does that say if they win the SB.....that losses like that dont tell as much as people think.

I guess continual years of drafting on the bottom, getting assistant coaches plucked , losing good players to free agency will do it. The Steelers and Ravens are in Colts mode after their bad year. We will see if either team can pop back as fast as the Colts.

True but neither do the wins over Broncos, Seahawks, Niners especially when they occurred earlier in the season when the Colts were healthier and a much different team.  Neither losing to Dolphins/Rams/Cardinals or beating Broncos/Niners/Hawks tells the whole story.  Bottom line this year we were good but not quite consistent enough to overcome all of our injuries and make it to the Bowl. We still have work to do (particularly on defense and in the trenches) to get where the Broncos & Hawks are now.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Appreciate the response.   A few thoughts to share….   i think Irsay only steps down IF his health deteriorates.  No use in comparing him to Kraft, his health appears to be better even though he’s much older.     But if Irsay stepped aside, here’s why I don’t see the daughters blowing things up and starting over.   If they fire Ballard — fine.  But if they also fire Dodds and Brown, at that point, I think you’d see the rest of the scouting department resign (if they weren’t fired too).  They will all get good jobs elsewhere too.     At that point, Steichen is surrounded by very few who know him.  Worse for the daughters…. There would then be a clear line.   With Irsay vs with the daughters.  And if the new GM doesn’t do well and things go south, then the blame won’t go as much to the new GM as it will to the daughters who decided to blow things up.   They’ll be the focus of incredible hate if the new regime makes fans long for what looks like the good old days of the Ballard years.      The argument for not hiring Dodds or Brown seems to be little more than Ballard-hate.  Those people want nothing more to do with anyone associated with Chris Ballard.   Guilt by association, not because of ability.      Thats why I described hiring one of Dodds or Brown as the easiest, simplest, cleanest move to make.  Much less risk.  But blowing it up and starting over is the far higher risk move.  Threading a tiny needle hoping to get it right.     By the way, if you fire Ballard and company and hire a new GM, who does those interviews?   Honestly, who?   Who would you feel good about conducting the interviews of the new GM?      Firing someone is easy.  Hiring the right person is really hard.    Thanks for your patience.

      I just want to be on record now. If the Colts fire Ballard for whatever reason in the next few years, I have no clue what direction they will go. Just wanted to get that out there in case any of you were wondering my opinion on this.

      Colts Audio Network to Debut: “The Move”

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      I understand there are a lot of people that don’t know the story. I for one am burnt out on it. I do find it funny they “stole” the Ravens from Cleveland but whine about the Colts leaving. Sports bring out the best homers and team spirit.

      Colts by 17. Going to be a rough week for you buddy.    Thats a joke. I have no idea but would probably lean towards the Packers winning if I had to choose. I do think it’s great you may have transitioned to a third franchise QB in a row. I hope Love has a great career for you guys. Always had a soft spot for the Packers and they would probably be my team if I didn’t love the Colts. I enjoy it when you guys are good. Best of luck this year!!

      Packers have a pretty strong and balanced team. The defense was able to hold the Chiefs to a low score last year while the offense was perhaps the only one to score over 24 points on the Chiefs defense.    But really it’s hard to say as of right now. Let’s see how everyone fares during training camp and after their season openers. Lots of things can change.
