I totally agree with this... i hope this puts to rest about the colts getting the 1st round pick.. i am praying that they do win their last game.... what i wanna know is since the losses were put on caldwell's shoulders who's shoulders do those wins go on? caldwell still isnt a great coach... not even close but what does that say about the team and him?

Wait, you agree with this? Weren't you pretty much the champion of Curtis Painter for the first 3/4 of the season? But now you totally agree that Orlovsky should have been put in earlier in the season when, at the time, you disagreed with the people that thought Painter should be benched in favor of Orlovsky?

Why because I want whats best for the future of the team?

I have to agree with you SilentHill. I have been a diehard Colts fan since they were in Baltimore and I was a little kid. I never want the Colts to lose...however....this season is gone. They gain nothing but pride by winning next week against Jacksonville.

I remember back to Harbaughs final year with the Colts. It took two things happening the last week. The Colts lose to the Vikings, I believe. And the Cardinals upset the Falcons. Those two things put the Colts at the #1 pick. Now, imagine what the Cotls would have been if they had NOT gotten Peyton Manning.

I am sure it will work out either way. If we lose to Jacksonville, Andrew Luck will be the future QB in a few years. If we win, I think Justin Blackmon will be the next great Colt WR. And then maybe Tannehill in the 2nd or taking a chance on Kellen Moore in the 4th would be interesting.

Ok, a win is nice. Great.

We'll probably have Caldwell next season, Polian isn't going anywhere, and the long term future of the franchise just had a massive lump of excrement dumped upon it.

Winning now is fine. Winning - for a while - is the way to do it.

Polian: Going for 16-0 is meaningless.

3-13? Go and get it!

Fantastic. Irsay apparently shares this mindset - because Team Nepotism will be here for years to come.

On a team as poor as ours - Luck gave us a chance. Not a guarantee, but a chance to be decent post Manning. Once he's gone, get ready for the dark ages.

Wow, you make Luck sound like Tebow.

Heavy sarcasm intended...

that's called tanking and isn't logical because it would drive away fans......which wouldn't be very logical........follow my logic?

No, because teams that are statistically eliminated from the playoffs must be bad teams. They have all the ability to lose while trying as they have proven by getting to the point they are at. Simply not changing for the better is not tanking. Now I do get it that Caldwell is on the hot seat and he changed it so he could keep his job, but I'm not too fond of him either so I would rather have not seen that happen.

OK, I totally understand why some fans are upset about this win. Just looking at the shot of the fans in the stands spoke volumes. After Reggie's TD, some Colt's fans were cheering. Others looked angry.

I watched with mixed emotions. I was thrilled for the players especially Dan O. (can't spell his last name) and Reggie Wayne who may have played his last game as a Colt. But, I was also thinking that this win may take away that #1 pick . . . whether that means Luck or not.

Whichever side you take is fine, but this thread has gotten way out of control. Calling one another trolls, dipsticks, or whatever is a violation of forum rules. Keep it up and this thread will be closed and warnings issued.

your right whoever would have came up with the number 1 pick could have more than likely went with Leaf, Which if I remember, everyone thought the colts would, but we didnt we took Manning instead, and Leaf went second, so no one can truly say what will happen next week, or this upcoming draft. we can all voice our opinions. My opinion is finish the year strong and make the best out of whatever draft pick we get. Who knows

I remember the highlights from that game. The Cardinals won it on a drive at the end of the fourth quarter that ended in a TD to put them ahead. I remember them showing the highlights and the commentator saying, "The Cardinals would secure the #1 pick with a loss, but noooooo.....what are you doing? Don't catch that pass." But if the Cardinals beating the Falcons gave the Colts the #1 pick, how did the Chargers end up with the #2 pick? Did that win really bump them from #1 to beyond #2?

I can understand the fans here on the forum that want to see the team lose. I'll admit that I'm a little torn myself, but why would anybody go to a game that you don't want to see your team win?

How can some of you fans not see that a loss tonight would have made this team stronger......Im not looking at the now Im looking at the next 5,6 ,10 years ect This was a game that can come back to haunt us for a long aztime...Its doesnt make you a Colt hater just means you are looking at the long haul and not not some pointless win. They did there job but it could have did more damage in the long run.....It does not feel good to say that but Im not goona look away from the facts .....keep or trade the #1 IS BIG TIME THIS YEAR BOYS!

Your losing, digging a hole that you cannot escape.

If anyone lost tonight it was you and the texans, none of us are trying to win a stupid argument over the internet, really we are all here just to support our team and our opinions

Seeing how OUR colts won, when you want them to lose, labels you as the loser..things just didnt go your way

Lose to win later... sounds like a plan you don't understand, it's ok football is a complicated sport. not everyone gets it.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      Once again, Latu just pops on the screen.  I know it’s just a drill, but compared to Ebukam…his movements and techniques are more fluid and crisp, and hes quicker.   https://youtube.com/shorts/k5W6CFq5ReQ?si=7DLSO-G0Gqt-5R6a

      Broncos to Add Ex Stanford Head Coach Shaw to Front Office

      By NFLfan · Posted

      Yes, I know. The Stanford teams  when Hogan was the starting QB were full of top recruits on offense and defense. It was so much fun being a fan then. I'm not as big a fan of Stanford as you are. Being on the East Coast makes it hard to follow them as much as I used to.   Overall, I am becoming less and less interested in sports. For over 20 years, I used to listen to sports radio whenever I had free time.  I used to follow tennis, golf, baseball, college basketball, a little NBA and NHL as well as NFL and college football. I once went to 20+ baseball games in a year.  The only sport I still follow religiously now is NFL football. I try to follow my favorite baseball team, the Mets, but not enough. I attribute my loss of interest to there being too much change and movement of players, coaches, teams, conferences, etc. Stanford is now part of the ACC! My goodness! (Shaking my head) I don't like all these changes in conferences.   I was a big fan of Ted Leyland, Stanford's former athletic director many years ago. It saddened me when Leyland left Stanford to go to the University of Pacific which was his alma mater. I see he retired. He hired Buddy Teevens who died last year. Back in those days, I followed Stanford football a lot more closely. They were not great years but I loved rooting for players who also excelled in the classroom.   TL;DR 😉
