Colts @ Steelers Game Day Thread

Recommended Posts

Thanks for coming for the Colts Game Day Thread, Colts fans!  :) Our 5-2 and AFC South Division leading  Indianapolis Colts are in Western Pennsylvania to play the 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers,  Colts will try to end a two-game losing streak from the Steelers, and will also try to win in Pittsburgh in six years, their last win by the score of 24-20 back on November 9, 2008.

 

Colts and Steelers are meeting for the 27th time in the regular season, with the Steelers unfortunately leading  the all-time regular season series with 20 wins and 6 losses, and the Steelers also outscored our Colts in the previous 26 games 628 to 421.

 

Great Day for NFL Football in The Steel City because sunny and clear skies at 60 degrees, feels like 58 degrees, is the local game time forecast inside Heinz Field for the 4:25 Eastern Standard Time kickoff, along with 38% humidity, 0% precipitation, and west/north west winds at 13 miles per hour.

 

NO further injuries, win your sixth game, and your first win in six years over the Steelers, stay both Colts Strong, and Chuck Strong, and GO COLTS!!!!!  :thmsup:  :coltslogo:  :1colts:  :colts::helmet:   :blueshoe:  :coltshorse:  :coltslogo:  :ribbon:  :D

    • Polian left Buffalo, went to Carolina, and then Indy. And yeah, it was a promotion. After Polian, no one else has had that president title. I'm sure he had more authority and stature than Ballard or Grigson have had, and probably more authority than he had in Buffalo or Carolina. In fact, I've always felt that part of the reason Polian was dismissed was that Irsay wanted to take back full control of his team.    But those are technicalities, and don't really have much to do with my point. Even with Polian, the hierarchy was Owner > GM > HC. Polian was running the day to day, the HC answered directly to Bill, who answered directly to Irsay.   I'm saying that I think there needs to be another level of separation between Irsay and the day to day operation, which would be occupied by a chairman/president. I'm also saying that instead of the HC answering to the GM, the HC and GM should have the same level of authority, with both answering to the chairman/president. So the hierarchy would be Owner > President > GM/HC.    And that's not because I think Irsay is a bad owner. I think he's a very good owner, but he's also the biggest Colts fan on the planet. And because of that -- and probably other reasons, including his declining health -- he's probably not a good manager, which is what the chairman/president should be doing. That person should be representing the organization, taking the heat for issues, leading pressers when the HC is fired in the middle of the night, holding every element of the operation accountable, sorting out priorities, establishing and maintaining operational direction, etc. For as much as Irsay loves the Colts and supports the operation, he's probably no longer the right person for that type of leadership and representation.    Several other teams use this hierarchy. I already mentioned the Rams. The Commanders are owned by Josh Harris, team president is Jason Wright, GM is Adam Peters, HC is Dan Quinn. Ravens owned by Steve Bisciotti, team president is Sashi Brown, GM/EVP is Erik DeCosta, HC is John Harbaugh. Lions are another family-run organization, owned by Sheila Ford, team president is Rod Wood, GM is Brad Holmes, HC is Dan Campbell. Bears are another family-run example. I could go on... I'm sure the details vary from team to team, but the point is that there's someone other than the primary owner who is overseeing the football operation, before you get to the GM. And I think the Colts would benefit from that arrangement.
    • I don't know why I thought you had a game in Europe. Thanks.
    • Most of those throws were all on target.  In fact I thought AR's accuracy the last game was very good.  The issue was he was late in throwing the ball.  Thereby allowing the defender to close the gap and break up the passes.  But as far as putting the ball where it should have been?  He was good. 
    • Well what if Colts traded up from 15 to 13 and drafted Brock Bowers ?   This offense would look completely different with AR throwing to Bowers as a safety blanket.    Maybe AR would still be starting!
    • This may be the post of the year and I am not exaggerating.   SS seems to have a major issue in COMMUNICATION.  He does not come across well in interviews, in behind the scenes videos, and press conferences.  I do not want to say he is on the spectrum, but something seems 'off'.   Nothing he ever says seems authentic or true.  Like when you hear some people  talk you say to yourself "wow, like it or not at least he has a passion and fervor for what he says". SS is the opposite.    Whenever he does talk?  I have gotten  to the point where I think the exact opposite is true.  He sets no standards.  He placates.  He is not authentic.  Period.    So if that is the case?  If I can see that?  What are the players thinking that are around him much much more than me?  I would say that they think he is full of it.   And with AR being so young and lets face it, not the  most mature tool in the shed.....all he will do is take advantage of that.  As almost every kid growing up in this mega social media world today will do.     And if I hear one more time that "it is on me" without there  being a change in how he calls a game?   I very well may explode.
