As for the playoffs a win over the Raiders puts the Colts in.  A win over the Jags only PROBABLY puts the Colts in but it’s not 100%.  So people need to stop saying just beat the raiders or jags and the Colts are in.  Yes, even with a loss to Raiders and a victory over the Jags the Colts are more than likely in but, it’s not 100% in that scenario.  The Colts would need help from the Ravens and Raiders the last couple of weeks of the season to get in.  
 

 

I agree.   Neither the Raiders nor the Jags will be a pushover for the Colts if they are missing key players.   It would really suck to lose the last 2 games and be out of the playoffs because of this.

 

Equally as important, to me, is that a loss because of this will affect our playoff seeding.   Chance of division title is still possible.

I prefer our chances with Phil.  Get him here today and keep him on the playoff roster.  

 

I'm sure Phil, being a Charger, would love to knock out the Raiders.

 

 

I am torn on this. With Wentz and Ehlinger, you can run the same rollouts and use their legs for key 1st downs, something you cannot do with Rivers. Plus, if Rivers is rusty with his football fitness and reads, and throws a pick or two, we will be second guessing that choice. Ehlinger and Rivers probably aren't that different on the arm strength aspect given Rivers' age, which is where Wentz is several notches better. 

 

For 1 game, it is not worth it to me. Get Ehlinger all the reps, show the confidence in him and roll with him. It is like getting Kerry Collins for Peyton in 2011 before turning it over to Curtis Painter later. We had more winnable games early on and Kerry Collins was on his couch while Painter had been with the system longer than Kerry. It did not provide us any different results. While Painter not getting a chance to win games gave us the 2-14 record and Andrew Luck, I would still rather not have signed Kerry Collins.

The CDC doesn’t have a mandate just for the NFL.  They have guidelines in general that so far the NFL has followed for the most part however, the NFL’s Covid policy is it’s own thing agreed too by the NFL and NFLPA.  Both of those sides have to agree to changes to it.  It sounds like those changes are coming anytime but they aren’t here yet so as of now the NFL policy for Wentz would knock him out to 10 to 14 days.  Now we wait and see what agreement they come up with and how that changes things.

 

The NFL didn't make up their policies within 24 hours of hearing the CDC's policies. Expecting them to change that quickly is probably unreasonable.

That's assuming he can clear protocol. Covid is still a disease that's putting people in the hospital. Mostly unvaccinated people. 

Exactly people are just assuming Wentz is asymptomatic, and he might very well be for all I know, but if he has symptoms changes to the policy won’t help much.  I will say the fact the Colts aren’t just ruling out yet is good news.

I made the finals in my fantasy league (thanks to JT).

 

I need him healthy for my big W this week.   Not to mention the Colts big W too!

Same! I went from .500 early in the season and then won 8 straight when he really broke out. Finished #1. I need him to kill it this week, because the guy I’m playing has had my number this year!

Rivers should stay right where he is.

I don’t.  That’s why I was saying it’s unknown right now and until the changes are announced I am going off the current rules.  I am just referring to people Mort who keep saying change is coming very soon.  With that said, as I said yesterday, since they have to agree to a language change with the NFLPA that means lawyers to make sure the new language is in their sides best interest and that doesn’t just happen at the drop of a hat.

Here you go.

 

 

I mean... he could... but how often does that happen? How many times does an unvaccinated person go through COVID from testing positive(relatively early - because they test them regularly in the NFL) to giving 2 negative tests 2 consecutive days within 5 days. To me this is a pipe dream. Maybe the more reasonable expectation is that he might be clear by the game vs the Jags.

Wentz is on the frontpage of Yahoo under the headline "Unvaccinated Colts QB hits Covid list at the worst time."

For anyone wondering if him being unvaccinated will be the headline nationally - it is.

Outstanding :nutz:

I'm not worried much about getting Ehlinger reps or whatnot. I'm worried about winning one game and making the playoffs.  From what I saw of Ehlinger in preseason, winning this game would be unlikely with him starting.   A few mental mistakes and it's over.

 

A limited game plan with Phil at QB?  It's winnable.  Not guaranteed, but winnable.

 

Even if you hope to win with a heavy, heavy dose of Taylor, much of that battle is getting into the right run call.  I trust Phil more than Ehlinger to get you there.

Phillip is not coming here with  6 days before a game and beating an NFL team

I believe it will also take a vote by the NFL Players union.   Not sure how fast that can be done.

I would guess as long as it is done by end of businesses Thursday it could go into effect for this coming weekend?  Just my guess?  Would Friday be too late to be this done??

Well Hard Kocks should be interesting next week lol.

Who's to say this whole covid situation wasn't caused by someone on the Hard Knocks crew. The NFL claims to be all about safety and the fans yet they chose to enact a 17 game schedule and have an in season Hard Knocks in the midst of a pandemic.

Well. Surely the entire Hard Knocks crew is vaccinated.

Yeah, not like other teams in the league and other sports, and just, you know, the freaking world in general isn’t seeing a massive increase of cases right now…

I would ASSume that the entire film and production crew are tested before going on-site.

BTW, this week can still get worse. It's just Tuesday. Imagine how many more players can test positive by game day. 

Which is why they need to shut this week down. Omicron is too contagious, at this point nearly everyone is going to get it. Just found out today I am positive and so is my entire family extended included. It’s not going to spare anyone.

I won't pretend to know how all this works.   I don't even know when Wentz's 5 days would start.   Would Today count as day 1 making Saturday day 5?   So Wentz could potentially be OK to start on Sunday?

      Caitlin Clark selected #1 by Fever/ Fever 2024 Season Thread **Updated title**

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Clark and the Fever take out Taurasi and Griner and the Mercury. Clark had 15 Points, 12 Assists, and 9 Rebounds in an 88-82 win against a good Mercury team. The win keeps the Fever in the 8th Playoff Spot at 8-12. Clark had her typical Magic Johnson type game today, where she won without scoring a lot of points. She controlled the game with her pinpoint passing recording 12 assists which set up 24 points for other teammates. Also had 9 rebounds that allowed the Fever to run the fast break and get easy points.   Best win of the season IMO because Taurasi and Griner both have been talking trash towards Clark all season. This win and beating Reese's Sky twice so far are standout wins.

      Most of us are underpaid, difference is we move on and deal with it and barely can enjoy life. Imagine if Pat Mahome's and his wife and kids had to live paycheck to paycheck, that would be funny to see, even for 3 months

      You have a good heart because unfortunately money rules the world. Without it, you can't do anything or live nice. I am just talking live halfway nice, nothing mind popping like buying 3 cars and a half million-dollar house. Just live in a 200,000 house (good neighborhood) and have a nice car and be able to take a Vacation once a year type of money is what I mean. To your point, being a good person with good morals is super important though . I try to treat people well and help people as much as I can.

      Fun fact: Smith took Mike Tyson the distance, only 1 of 2 fighters to do that when Mike was Champ from 1986-1989. Tony Tucker was the other.

      So this Anthony Richardson guy...........

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I have seen a few clips of Creed 2 on Youtube but never have watched the whole movie. I seen where Drago is in it. I thought Creed 1 was kind of average but I grew up with the Rocky movies with Rocky fighting. As far as the fights between Rocky and Clubber being short, that was fine because there were 2 of them. The way I would rank the Rocky movies would be: 1. Rocky 3 - had more action than any of them and the Creed twist was shocking. Back then there was no internet or teasers, so nobody had no idea that Creed would train Rocky. Mr T was by far the baddest villain of them all. He made people want to hate him. Hulk Hogan was even it who Rocky fought for charity  . Mick even passed away, it all kinds of twists and turns.   2. Rocky 1 - the 1st one because of the storyline. He also went the distance with GOAT = Apollo, nobody ever done that.   3. Rocky 2 - had the best fight, so I can see how that would be #1 in many eyes. That was my mom's favorite because of Adrian coming out of the coma and telling Rocky to win and the fight was the best of the whole series.   4. Rocky 4 - This one was good but not great. They could have made this much better to where it could of been the best of the series. It was kind of unrealistic because no way in real life would Apollo get killed in 2 rounds. The fight between Apollo and Drago should have at least gone 7 or 8 rounds and just show Apollo taking a beating. 2 Rounds = no way. #2, they made Drago out to be like a superhero, Rocky already beat Clubber who was just as strong, so I didn't care for the storyline. The training scenes by Rocky and Drago and the music is what saved that one from being average.
