  1. 1. Who wins?

  2. 2. Do you still get pumped up when the Colts play the Patriots?

    • Of course! I am excited whenever the Colts face the Patriots. It is another chance to defeat the Pats.
    • No, the Pats are no longer our rivals.
    • Meh, the Patriots aren't any good.
    • Every football game involving the Colts excites me.

  3. 3. Bonus Question#1 : Do you think Belichick gets fired if the Patriots lose?

  4. 4. Bonus Question#2: After this game, the Colts will have a bye week. Do you believe that teams that play games outside the United States should have their bye weeks before or after the game?

    • The week before the game
    • The week after the game
    • Either the week before or the week after playing outside the USA (no other time)..
    • Having a game outside the United States should have no bearing on when a team's bye week is scheduled.

Leonard -- Snaps: 406, Missed tackles: 4

 

Franklin -- Snaps: 565, Missed tackles: 13

 

Normalise Leornard's snaps to 565 and he'd have 5.57 missed tackles... it's not even in the same league...

“Normalize” lol That’s a 159 snap difference. If Leonard played those snaps the way we’ve been seeing him play he would have 100 missed tackles. Not to mention most of his “tackles” are after the runner/receiver has gained 7+ yards

my point exactly, he is rarely first, and solo. he's coming in and cleaning up tackles after the runner has been slowed or made their first move already

If Gus’s defensive play calling comes gives up a touchdown he should be shown the door.

He won't though, and he shouldn't  - defense has kept us in the lead despite the offense totally going to sleep after the 1st drive.

well that's not what i mean. 

 

Franklin is faster, and gets to the ball faster. 

 

so if he gets there first, or if leonard is not attempting first contact as often, those stats mean nothing

I know it's not, but you're looking for ways to assign blame to Leonard and I think people are being unreasonable about it.

 

Franklin is playing the position Leonard is best at. Week 8 against the Saints, Leonard played most of his snaps at Mike (his best position in Bradley's scheme) and he had 13 tackles...

 

You can't compare their play when they are pboth on the field, because they are playing different positions with different assignments.

 

I know Leonard is getting paid $100m and he's not worth it RIGHT NOW (and he may not be again), but 1) pay is not going to let him break the laws of reality,  2) it's his first season in the scheme and 3) he's playing out of position. How about we look at this the way it is instead of just trying to pin crap on him...

Shaq has as many tackles for a loss as Franklin does this year in the snap differential.

their jobs are slightly different, but its the closest ur gonna get when comparing positions, like FS to SS

 

here's the reality solid, Leonard looks bad. He visibly looks different. He's one of my favorite Colts but I can't lie man he looks overpaid, slow, and hesitant, and seems to be avoiding contact.

    • I agree to  point, it depends upon what the demands are.  But Mannings should have the clout to influence, maybe not control, Arch's destiny (if he's going to be that good, we don't know that yet).  And in a way, I'm not sure the NFL FO would get in the way a lot as to not see one of its potential stars....in terms of play and name legacy...get ruined by a bad organization and out of the NFL in a short time.   I think the chances of your prognostication happening are decent.  It will be interesting.
    • I think the  Peyton would not  want him going to Indy. You would have the never ending comparisons and I believe that was part of Eli not wanting to play for the Chargers. I could be wrong but I believe they wanted him in the NFC. The bigger point is also that if it came to be that  the Colts had the pick when Manning was available. That would also be an indication that the Colts would be a dumpster fire and they would probably want no part of it.  Based on wins, losses, lack of play off success, FO office drama. I bet the Colts has lost some of it's value. Sure it is still worth billions but no doubt the shine is no longer there
    • No, and this is not news.  For a while, folks have been leaning on the Buckner trade as being a great (use of) pick.  But Buck was known as a very good NFL player already, which is not the same thing as using picks on college players you think should be good.  The college evaluation/valuation process has not been good.  That's pretty evident, IMO.
    • Easiest way to fix the Colts defense is to fire Gus Bradley. First it was Michael Lombardi (who I generally don't agree with) who said that Gus defense is simple and now even JJ Watt has said that he runs a defense that doesn't make adjustments for the opponent and defensives that that don't do that generally fail in the NFL. It's interesting to see two weeks in and more and more people are coming out and saying that " Bradley's system is ineffective."   It won't help us much this year but I do believe that Bradley's system is holding back the talent on the defense and him having favorites puts blinders on improving positions (Facyson).
    • When  it is his draft year, he will most likely be the number 1 pick if he continues to excel. There is not doubt in my mind that if the team that is picking is a complete dumpster fire. The Mannings will pull another Eli. They will have a lot of control and the team that is drafting him will have to give into the Manning's recommendations. Thats the way it should be. I always said Bryce Young would be a bust due to his body makeup. That being said, he is getting no help in Carolina and it basically looks like his career is over after only 2 years. This will not happen to Manning. I bet if  Manning's draft year next  was in 2025 and Carolina had the pick.  The Mannings would probably have a list of demands before even entertaining the thought of Manning going there and that is the way it should be.
