He needs 16 completions for the single season record. How do folks feel about records being broken now due to the 17th game? It was bound to happen I suppose and many more will break when the NFL gets to 18 games.

He’s playing next year. He is going to own everything record before he is done.

As far as single-season records go... 

 

IMO they should keep track and designate between 16 and 17 game seasons. When they (inevitably) add an 18th game at some point they'll have to do it again. 

 

I doubt that ever happens.  Did not happen when they went from 14 to 16 games.  A season is a season.  It will be interesting though when they get to 18 as I believe all the single season records will fall within 3-5 years.

Records are nice, but if they are not kept fairly I rather enjoy the football experience, the game itself. 

 

You could argue that it’s best to cut it to the same number of games (14, 16, 17) when comparing records across  different seasons, but then the dynamics of each season needs to be considered.

The best is just to normalize by the number of games played that season.

    • Of course.   I don’t think I disagree.   But I think Ballard knows his players and if/when to gamble on bringing them back.     Not sure I follow your comment about the draft behind him with Pierce be the same as pass rusher?   Can you elaborate?  
    • Last year was brutal for you?   Seriously?   Last year was one of the most enjoyable seasons of my 12+ years of Colts fandom!   A season where the Colts exceeded expectations while playing their backup quarterback.  Watching Steichen coach the heck out of this team!   A real pleasure.  Honestly.    And given the nature of how negative things are around here I’ll share a thought that I fully expect to get laughed at over… Ballard didn’t take the job over Luck.  Ballard took the job over Irsay.   I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Irsay, who had been a GM, then hired Bill Polian,  then Ryan Grigson who got exec of the year one year, then Ballard who also got executive of the year one year.   I don’t believe in coincidences like that.   Irsay knows the complexities of the job.   When Ballard took the job it wasn’t clear what was happening with Luck?   The one constant was Irsay.    Plenty of decisions were made with the trio…. Irsay, Ballard and Reich.     After the Luck retirement the Colts were in win-now mode.  They had a young team built to win and weren’t going to tell them the team was going to be in re-build mode for 2-4 years while a young quarterback learned on the job.     Things look obvious in hind sight.  The Colts plans were known in real time and they made what they felt were the only decisions that they could.   Try to win every year.  And part of the reason Ballard hasn’t been fired is that Irsay approved of those plans, he signed off on them.     Im sorry you may not watch this year.  Steichen is a really sharp guy.  Fun to watch.   I hope you’ll reconsider.   
    • Anyone interested in the #3 position, the Patriots are considering trading down.  Send me a message if you’re interested.
    • not without risking him leaving. Of course. The argument could be made that the draft behind him in Pierce could be the same situation with a pass rusher. 
    • That's cool!   I was fortunate enough to catch him on his last tour just before he passed. Great concert.
