DG....

Not only are we not going to lose a draft pick, we're not going to lose the combine either.

However, I do think we're going to lose the Super Bowl. At least the one we're currently bidding on. We'll get another sometime down the road, but I think there's only a small chance we'll get the one that's up for a vote this year. I know NFL people are saying otherwise, but I'm not buying it. What they don't want is a SB with the specter of Irsay-issues being a side show distraction.

Until he proves that he's completely clean, I think Indy's chances are very slim. I'm sorry to say that and

I hope I'm wrong......

how in the world would the current situation Irsay is in have any relevance in 2018?

First....   I didn't realize the SB was out as far as 2018.  

 

Second....   I just think the wound is too fresh in the minds of those that vote.    I think they're going to want proof that Irsay is going to be fine.    Successful completion of his therapy and not falling off the wagon.

 

Plus....   while it won't ever be characterized that way,  I think the NFL will silently want Irsay to think his actions cost the city a shot at the 2018 SB.    The last piece of the punishment.   

 

Again.....   I'm talking out of my a** and I know it.   All speculation by me.   And,  as I said in my other post,  I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think Indy had a great chance at the Super Bowl in the first place. We got lucky with the weather last time

Possibly...he was a side show distraction when the SB WAS in INDY with his war of words with Peyton and his attempt to get out in front and win the media battle in the hearts of fans. But I agree...I DON'T think we lose a pick...but I wouldn't have cried foul if we did though.

Yeah this,  We have to understand that because of where our city is located we're always going to be a long shot for super bowls.  We did a good job with the one we had, so we'll probably get another at some point, but it'll take awhile.

      Tom Brady finally admits he knew about Deflategate...shocker..lol

      Wilt dominated Bill Russell when they played, what Boston fans don't comprehend for some reason is, the Celtics had all the best players on their team other than players like West, Baylor, and Robertson. Outside of that the league had a bunch of MEH players back then except on Boston. Boston had Cousy, Havlicek, Sam Jones, and KC Jones besides Russell. Russell could get away with playing a bad game on occasion and Havlicek or Sam Jones would go for 30 and they would still win. Cousy wasn't a great shooter but was a great Assist guy and would just run that team like a great QB does.   Bill Simmons has Bill Russell as the 2nd greatest player ever, that is what ruins his list and I agree with a lot of his rankings. Loved his book and love his knowledge on ranking players but his Russell ranking is simply because he is from Boston. No way in hell is Bill Russell the 2nd greatest player of all-time. He had too many offensive deficiencies to be that. To me Larry Bird was the better player compared to Bill Russell.    Simmons top 10 updated: 1. Michael Jordan 2. Bill Russell 3. LeBron James 4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 5. Magic Johnson 6. Larry Bird 7. Wilt Chamberlain  8. Tim Duncan 9. Kobe Bryant  10. Jerry West   Mine is: 1. Michael Jordan (we agree)   2. Magic Johnson   3. LeBron James (we agree)   4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (we agree)   5. Kobe Bryant   6. Larry Bird (we agree)   7. Wilt Chamberlain (we agree)   8. Steph Curry - Bill has Curry 15th.   9. Shaq O'Neal - Bill has Shaq 13th.   10. Bill Russell - yes, he makes my top 10, great defensive player, great rebounder, a good scorer but not a dominant scorer and a winner. His 11 championships can be viewed in a lot of different ways compared to how players won theirs in the 80's-up until now. 11 is 11 though so a top 10 list without him would not like right.   He had West and Duncan in his top 10 - I don't. I have Shaq and Curry instead. To me Shaq was more dominant at his peak than Duncan was, and Curry changed the game with his 3-point shooting. Shaq is the only player in NBA history other than Michael Jordan to win 3 straight Finals MVP's (2000-2002), he has to be top 10. I never thought I would see a better shooter than Reggie Miller, then Steph entered the building. Steph also does have 4 championships, a Finals MVP, and 2 League MVP's + he has the most 3 pointers made in NBA history.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)
