Well, it was a fun ride while it lasted...go Chandler Harnish!

[TKnight24]

So, I definitely thought this was an Topic about you Cooking. Thought your Onions had Spoiled or Something

Sorry, I'm Hungry

[Warhorse]

Hmm, I was thinking that Reggie would be cut for not going all out on the route.

[Nadine]

Gosh the onion makes me laugh. Funny why RGIII got cut!

[supremecoltsfan300]

Goodbye luck. I think the Colts should bring back Painter and make him the Starter now. Can you say 16-0?

Or do we build for the future? Tank the season for Barkley?

That's the beauty of it. With Painter as starter, we don't need to tank. We'll fight hard, battle it out, and earn our way to the #1 overall pick

What's is Luck's future now? Backup to Jimmy Clausen?

[Smitto]

I told you guys this was gonna happen... ever since the colts drafted Harnish i was like "Luck doesnt stand a chance anymore"

Give Grigson a call, dude! You should be on the scouting team!

Nehhhh he'd probably just take all my credit.

One could argue on that concept already being dis-proven.

[FireJimCaldwell]

He could always return to Stanford and be, Andrew Luck, Andrew Luck Director of Offense.

Na....the more I think about it, Luck told Reggie the wrong play call just to make him look slow....cut him.

The Onion is ok, sometimes their humor hits a tender spot in a franchise.

Cut em all. Painter to Wahlen is the future.

And be the first person in a meta football position

[cranium cramp]

Cut em all. Painter to Wahlen is the future.

Now if we could just get a coach.......Someone like say.........Jim "deer in the headlights" Caldwell. Superbowl or bust.

[shakedownstreet]

i'm pretty sure this means the team is moving to LA

[Andy]

darn, i knew we should have picked up RG3.

The Colts are run by a bunch of dummies

If we throw the next 6 seasons....just think of the possibilities!!

[supremecoltsfan300]

Obviously this is a joke, but let's actually think of the possiblities....

We have luck now. Qb is good.

2 of the tanking seasons we grab two calvin johnsons.

1 of the tanking seasons we grab a von miller.

1 of the tanking seasons we grab a suh.

1 of the tanking seasons we grab a patrick peterson.

1 of the tanking seasons we grab an adrian peterson.

That's domination for the decade after the 6 tanked seasons!

Yep, that's the problem with NFL GM's nowadays. They don't have the patience and guts it takes to tank several seasons in a row. It takes sacrifice to build a champion. Last year we had the right idea. It was a great start to a reloading phase but we need to keep it up.

My fear is that Luck will not disappoint, and in a show of extreme selfishness, he'll win the offensive ROY award, propelling us into the playoffs and destroying our chances for the future.

Grigson already made a HUGE mistake in releasing Painter. There was a perfect * to get us some much needed future picks.

I'm really going to miss Painter. He reminded me of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. RIP Painter

He took my order at Burger King yesterday and dangit, wouldn't ya know....he forgot to put napkins in my bag when I specifically asked for extra napkins.

I was like...."Curtis, bro....c'mon man what the heck".

It's cool though. I saw him riding his moped back to his apartment after his shift and I totally pelted him with my half empty sprite.

Then we get ripped apart when we have to pay all of those guys and end up having to blow everything up and build again

Pay? I thought they could work for free............

How about 4 years of tanking, 1 championship season, let the players walk, 4 more years of tanking, 1 championship season, rinse and repeat. Might have to change the name of the team to the Indianapolis Tankers
