No such thing as a trap game. Nonsense really. It's like your wife having a 'trap' birthday. Like, it's her 37th and you don't bother with a present. Wooooosh. Doghouse here I come. Etc.

He and everyone else on the planet thinks that.

.500 is even and that's not on the negative side soooooo if it's not negative then it's positive

.500 is not negative....so again we're on the plus side

 

Do you not see how this makes no sense? If you believe this, you could just as easily make the argument that ".500 is even and that's not on the positive side sooooo if it's not positive then it's negative"

 

Maybe you should quit this one while you're... well, way, way behind.

 

Anyway that was a really ugly win, but I'll take it. This team is simultaneously both frustrating and encouraging. It's not so much that we sometimes play poorly that is frustrating, it's how we play poorly that is. You can tell that this team has a lot of potential when you watch them, so it's hard to watch them play poorly due to sloppiness and lack of discipline. However, this is also encouraging, because these issues should hopefully be fixable. I don't think we're too far off from being a dangerous team and legit competitor

I guess those darn Jags will be a trap game with the mighty Blake Bortles :funny:

You never know, facing a team with a better record is always good motivation to help you snap out of your spiraling team's play this season. Not to mention dashing that team's hope for a better record at their expense. Of course there is always the chance that they are ready to tank the rest of the season for a higher draft choice. If the latter is the case, then it should be an easy win.

Yeah I am just having fun now with this season because really hardly anyone thought we would be good. We are 6-5 which is respectable, they are a Divisional rival and Ramsey is always out to prove something. We just have to stay focused.

When I think how we went into this season, and all of the unknowns from Luck, coaching, roster, etc...  I am relieved on how we have done so far. The rest of the season can be just icing on the cake for progressing this year.

May have been a trap game after all but they escaped the trap...…..this time.

Again I don’t think this was a trap game.  This was a team who entered today with the same record as the Colts coming off a bye getting their starting QB back.  It was what it should have been, a close hard fought football game.  

 

The Colts didn’t play well for three quarters but they hung around and were the better team in the fourth.  That is so refreshing of the past year and a half of it being the reverse.  

 

Next week is a trap game.  Coming off a three game home stand, ridding a five game winning streak playing a floundering Jags team on the road the week before they go to the divison leader.

They’re not opinions lol. Yours is an opinion. What everyone else is saying is a fact. It should be common sense but apparently it’s not. 

No it's really not and again nothing has been shown differently so keep talking about nothing then

Ok, so since you want evidence to prove you wrong, where is the evidence to prove you right? 

 

Surely there’s a scientific formula out there in this crazy old mixed up world that will prove your theory at least valid. I think we’d all like to take a peek at it. 

 

Or we’ll make it even easier than that. Just find us someone of significance that will echo your drivel. Surely there’s a well respected coach, player, or analyst out there who will have said the same thing. 

 

This is 2018. If you’re as right as you claim you are certainly you won’t be the only one out there making this claim, so back it up.

Show me where they even mentioned anything about having a "tied" team record?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winning_percentage

You either have a winning record or losing record

Oh boy. 

 

Wikipedia as a reference? 

 

200w.gif

 

Wikipedia falls squarely between the homeless guy who told Jimmy Haslam to draft Johnny Manziel, and a book from 1812 in terms of reliability on any subject. 

 

Of course in this case that’s actually neither here nor there because you referenced an article about how winning percentages are calculated. 

 

There was precisely 0 about a .500 record being considered winning. 

 

I find it frightening that in a world where everyone refers to a .500 record as... well, a .500 record that there is one lone nut in the forest claiming it’s a winning record. And yet somehow despite being the only one to claim such he actually believes that everyone else is wrong and he is right. 

 

Curious to say the very least.

Oh God yall are still talking back and forth about this .500 record stuff!

 

I guess it's because some people won't listen to logic.

It's better than nothing you asked for it and I gave it to you so nothing I said changes anyway

      With the next pick

      Thx. its never soon enuff!

      Would you be happy with this draft?

      By DaColts85 · Posted

      Ballard drafts for depth on a team level. This is the opposite of that. Plus he added two T’s in FA so not sure about drafting two of them.

      Cosmi Vs Jenkins

      By Defjamz26 · Posted

      Actually that’s a very reasonable take. I think it’s easier to project Cosmi to LT than it is Jenkins. Cosmi might be the Kolton Miller of this draft. Super toolsy guy that will struggle a bit, but eventually blossom into a pod LT.   The projection is harder for Jenkins but I still think he can do it. If we can turn Braden Smith into a RT, then we should be able to turn Jenkins into a LT. Jenkins also has tape of him absolutely owning Joseph Ossai who might also be a 1st round pick.

      Jay Kirk Baseball Thread since 2017: The 2021 season, Dodgers Repeat?

      Cardinals drop 2 straight to the Brewers.  The NL Central is going to be a wild one this year.  Anyone can win the division and it's going to come down to who can stay healthiest and possibly who make a move or two at the trade deadline.   Looks like the Cubs, Cards, Brewers and Reds are just going to beat up on each other, so the team that can do well outside the division may be the one to win the Central.   I'm going to a baseball game tonight!!!  The Reds Alternate Site games are taking place here in Louisville, the AAA home of the Bats, who are the Reds AAA affiliate.  So, there are guys here not on the 26 man Reds roster, but there are some prospects playing and several of these players will end up on the Bats roster.   I'm not a Reds fan, per se, but since the Bats are here, I do get familiar with the Reds minor leaguers.   Regardless, it's the first baseball game I'll have attended since 2019 and it's going to be 70 degrees and sunny at game time this evening.  I'm really excited!!!

      By DaColts85 · Posted

      I like Darrisaw the most if he was there at 21. I just do not see it happening. This guy improved each and every year and showed solid form at LT last year. I see Slater, Sewell, and then Darrisaw in the first half of the first round.
