Does any think that BP owes Pat an apology for his comments on his show. I heard Pat on the radio Tues. and felt he was as candid as he could be. He said he kinda was ok with what BP had to say, but also said openly he did not like the manner in which it was done. He felt that BP should have brought this up to him in person and felt a little blindsided. With all the problems this team has and Pat having the best hangtime and 8th in the league in kicks out of bounds, and I believe top ten in touchbacks. I thought BP comments were all litte odd.

I hope Pat is not holding his breath waiting for that apology.

Not wrong. But when your 0-13 and you call out seemingly the only guy who has legitimately done his job, it rubs people wrong.

Bill rubs people wrong daily, sometimes multiple times a day. That is who Bill Polian is. I think we just need to look at Bill as just not your normal GM/Vice Chairman and basically understand that he is a pain in the butt but someone who knows his job.

Two things:

I didn't hear the show but what I've read about it and heard about it seems like what he said about Pat has been taken out of context by a lot of people. I've heard several people say it came during a very long list of things the team needs to do to get better and it wasn't like he singled out Pat only bashed on only Pat like he's the only thing wrong with the team. The other thing is all he really said is that Pat needs to work on kicking the ball out of bounds. Something Pat himself said on the radio earlier this year. He didn't say Pat was doing a bad job. He didn't say they weren't happy with Pat and he didn't say that Pat is the reason the special teams is bad. He labeled something that the guy can improve on. All players have something they can improve on and the great ones do.

Secondly, Clearly for whatever the reason it has blown up into something huge. If it were me I would go to Pat and explain what I was trying to say to make sure he understands you aren't trying to blame him for the bad Special teams, or that you weren't happy with him or that you thought he was doing bad job. I don't think that is a public converstaion though and I don't think the public needs to know about it. I heard an interview with Pat on Tuesday on 1260 where he said he talked to Polian which tells me that converstation probably already took place. Just because it's not going to be made public doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Your not getting the point. Pat has been doing his job better than anyone else on the team. To say something like that about the guy who is having a great year is kind of odd. Like IndyTrav said, it rubs people the wrong way

For just about any other GM I would agree, but Bill isn't any ole normal GM/Vice Chairmen. His weekly shows are always filled with "What did he just say" type of comments, the one directed to Pat this week is nothing new or shocking. It's Bill being Bill which usually rubs most people the wrong way.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      By #12. · Posted

      Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By ProblChld32 · Posted

      Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result.

      I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough.

      I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
