It was great watching Elliott Harrison who does the rankings for the NFL Network eat crow. I seen it earlier, he was weeping but admitted he was wrong about our team. He finally gave us praise but what else could he do at this point. He had us rated #32.

Perfectly said.  At least he's giving us respect now unlike a few others

As this game is getting closer I am getting more nervous. All this talk about nobody wanting to play the colts is getting me scared. Lol. I didn’t realize the Texans started 0-3. They are just as hot as the colts.

They're really not, though.

If every team could do that every game, they would would be unstoppable.  No turnovers, no bad penalties, double top wideout AND shutdown the run game.  That's alot to ask, but to honest, we've been doing some of it, so there is hope!

And don't forget that minor detail of scoring points. ;-)

Start out in the hurry up with a nice up pace tempo.  Take some of the starch out of that defensive front and get out in front.  By the 2nd half, their line will be winded and then we put the run game on em and break their spirit.

 

I love the idea of starting in a hurry up. I get the reason not to run this all time because if you arent converting you're killing your defense but theres nothing to lose right out of the gate and if you score it immediately puts pressure on their offense. Hit them fast right away and if you dont convert slow it down the next possession.

DeAndre Hopkins will be playing this game in honor of a young girl killed in a drive-by shooting in Houston this past Sunday.

Not that it will have any bearing on the game, but I thought it was nice that he has offered his playoff check for this weekend's game $29,000 to help cover this girl's funeral expenses.

It is a nice gesture.    What kind of funeral is she having that cost $29,000+?

    • The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.    
    • So damn classy as always. I still rewatch their pandemic golf game from 2020. They just have awesome chemistry together. Hopefully they can get Tom on the Manningcast again for more hilarity.  
    • Uuuugh.     I think it would’ve been better if I had preached a healthy dose of patience and NOT patients.        
    • Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.     
    • And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know.
