Despite back to back wins, here we stand a disappointing 5-5.  Most of us have been pretty focused on what this team is not....and that's easy to understand.

 

However, consider the teams we are tied with or better than:

 

Teams with First Ballot HOF QB's

Pittsburgh 5-5 (multiple offenders of recent mediocrity)

Green Bay 4-6 

New Orleans 4-6

 

Teams with established QB's expected to challenge for playoffs or make deep runs:

Arizona 4-5-1

Baltimore 5-5 (Considered one of, if not the best front offices in football - now repeat offenders of mediocrity)

Carolina 4-6

Cincinnati 3-6-1

 

# of Teams with a record better than 6-4: 9 (8 if Texans lose)

# of Teams with a record better than 7-3: 4 (3 if the Raiders lose)

 

The league is really bunched up in mediocrity, and it's a league designed to make exceptional performance truly rare.  Hopefully our boys will get there soon...but we have a lot of good company in the meantime.

I never want to see a player get a concussion, they can be career ending if not diagnosed and treated properly.

 

That being said, whether Luck plays or not, come Thursday evening I will still be in a turkey coma, and wondering if my wife will make a comment if I go back for seconds (for the third or fourth time), I will still be back laughing with family members that an hour before we were in a heated political discussion, I will still be looking forward to (with equal parts of dread and excitement) of getting ready for Christmas, I will still be watching the weather to make sure I'm not going to run into any snow storms on my way home.

 

I hope the Colts win, if not, I still plan on enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend.

A lot of teams stink this year, take away Dallas, Seattle, the Pats and the Raiders and what have you got, mediocrity. Heck, no one can even kick an extra point this year! The most focal point of this season is will the Browns go winless? Roethlisberger has won ten games in the new Browns stadium and that is tied with one Browns QB, forgot his name. Now that tells a story.

Yeah this year's definitely been a strange one. Football in general has been a bad product for most teams.

 

Wouldn't be shocked if an 8-8 team wins the SB this year. It's great that everyone has a shot, but it's tough enjoying the year with so many highs and lows. We win big one week then get curb stomped the next. 

 

Should be interesting come playoff time to say the least.

      AR has similar if not superior physical traits of AL and I just saw something on his ability to recall is similar to PM.

      Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.

      I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.

      speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.
