What. That’s what got him injured. 

Freak play.  He's been the gun slinger since he entered the league.  He's not changing now.

Those first theee snaps he was getting killed. Sure enough Oline got him killed. I remember right  before he got injured saying their Oline was going to get Rodger’s killed.

That is who I was thinking of.

No go back and watch the start of the game and how bad the Oline was.

[MB-ColtsFan]

This is how the Jets started the game and it worked well for them.  Tossed in a couple of passes and they scored easily.

It’s gotta be Painter. The Colts were actually thinking he would replace Manning at one point…

Think of it like this:

 

Mr. 0-16 Detroit Lions Dan Orlovsky won two games while Painter couldn’t guide the team to a single win.

I thought he had a non-contact injury. Maybe I am not remembering correctly.

Siemian is playing better than I have ever seen him play.

He might of not got touched but there was so much pressure he was playing dodge ball.

If you count Baltimore days then Karl Douglas was drafted in 3rd round to succeed Johnny U in 1971 (3rd round) lasted 1 season and was cut......ended up in CFL and later USFL.....not often a 3rd round is cut in 1 year with no snaps. Luckily club drafted Bert Jones soon after

I was watching that game when he got hurt. I don't remember that (dodging pressure).

Floyd had him wrapped up and Rodgers tried to spin away.  There was contact, but he wasn't smashed or anything.  He tried to spin away and came up lame.  Left tackle whiffed on the block.  I can't find his number on their roster.  I guess I know why, lol.

I didn’t realize Flacco could move as well as he does to extend plays sometimes. I always remember him being a statue.

Here is the new improved Flacco

Ah Bert Jones… one of the best spirals of the game.

He is why I am a Colts fan to this day...LOVED the Ruston Rifle, had the old Sports Illustrated poster on my door as a kid.

Watson who? Browns have Joe Cool.

I’d almost bet the Browns would not have as good of a record this year if Watson had played all year. Yeah I said it.

[NFLfan]

Did you know?

 

Kevin Stefanski is the son of Basketball executive Ed Stefanski.

 

Kevin spent 13-14 years as an assistant coach on the Vikings.

[2006Coltsbestever]

What is funny is, I don't even think of Flacco as being a backup QB. Maybe it is just because he won a SB and has been a starter most of his career.

I learned something new.  My day has been success thanks to you.

Jets OLine may be garbage but they're running through Cleveland tonight.

If anything browns having such a good record shows how ridiculous the Watson trade was.

Pretty dumb. I am not even using hindsight, I thought it was dumb to begin with and some in here want to pile on Ballard. Ballard would never make that move though.

Yeah, could even argue that ridiculous trades like that can also either work or in this case fail but not completely screw over the team. 
 

Funny how the Browns are still going strong while the Broncos are imploding.

Also I should add, that nickname belongs to this man now and for the future:

1 QB I forgot about being terrible is the 'Piano Man' = Joey Harrington. Man was he something  

[NFLfan]

@RollerColt  What did your dad think of the drafting of Ki-Jana Carter. I believe that was the first draft that I followed (1995). So much was expected of him but injuries ruined his career.

If I was starting a franchise right now, he would be my 2nd choice, I would take only Mahomes over him.

Ah the one with so much talent but he blew his knee out right? I think he was a Heisman too…

Yeah now that’s what I’m talking about.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Joe Burrow has accomplished enough in his career already to tell me by my eye test he is 2nd only behind Pat Mahomes in the now. He beat Mahomes once in KC and went to the SB.

And with how KC is playing and distracted, a Burrow led Cincy team would probably be challenging for the #1 seed. What a waste…

[MB-ColtsFan]

Terribel no-call.

With a healthy Burrow, Cincy would be 11-4 IMO instead of 8-7 (it is a damn shame). Ravens are great this year but having said that, if Cincy had Burrow even as a wildcard, they could win 3 games and make the SB. He is that great.

Hell during the Ravens game when he got injured it seemed like he had Baltimore’s defense figured out. Hopefully he comes back next season with a vengeance.

@NFLfan so I mentioned Carter to my dad and this was essentially his response:

 

[NFLfan]

This is a turnover-filled game. How many turnovers have there been?

Those were the days that no matter what they did, the Bengals seemed to make moves that did not work. How times have changed! They have made very good moves in the draft and free agency in the last 13 or so years.
