Yeah! Don't forget Roger Carr, Raymond Chester, and Joe Ehrmann.

Just saw this!!! I am with you. When I hit "post' I though to mys elf I should have added Carr and Chester: and Joe Washington....in the rain against the Jets in a monsoon! 200 yards rushing...and returning kicks...:)

Not every movie made is Oscar caliber material, I will admit braveheartcolt, but sometimes the brain needs non sophisticated material to unwind to in today's chaotic world. Potato...Patoto...Tomato...Tamato.

Drivel or a masterpiece...It's all abstract, non tangible, or anything but definitive relatively speaking I suppose.

You been watching 'Inception'? Without doubt thee single most worst crapiest mainstream movie ever released. Most people say it was great, but they are just worried that they don't fit in. It's like people saying Dungy was a great coach. He wasn't really. He, like Bill, lucked out on the Goat (FX - I mean Peyton, not AL12).

Horse feathers. Inception was a great movie. Lump me in if you want, but I'm lumping you in with people who say they don't like it because they didn't really understand it.

I don't quite grasp the connection between 80's movies and Coach Tony Dungy. As far as the film "Inception" is concerned, the special effects were spectacular, but the script needed some more flushing out and a better editor IMO.

People like what they like entertainment wise and no amount of criticism, constructive or not, is going to make them flip their opinion braveheartcolt. Fine, you don't care for "Back To The Future", "The Breakfast Club," or "The Karate Kid." Films like anything else are directly tied to the generation who grew up with them.

Are these film sophisticated? No, but I don't exactly see millions of avid fans flocking to Jane Austin and William Shakespeare big screen book adaptations either.

The game you are thinking of may have been the Monday night game against the Patriots. One of the greatest individual performances I have ever witnessed. I believe we are about to have a lot of memories about to be made. Beautiful dog by the way.

For the record, I'd rather watch Inception any day than any of that Willie Shakespeare guff. Just because I'm British doesn't mean I like everything that is British. Some of it stinks. Like haggis.

I'm still butt hurt that we took Donald Brown over Hakeem Nicks in the 2009 draft. I was so high on him in the draft and I still am. I even remember Peyton being shocked at the time that we didn't use the pick on Nicks, as both the Manning brothers were giddy about throwing to him.

The casual fan doesn't realize how much attention he gets from defenses (Victor Cruz being the beneficiary of that this past year). If the dude can stay injury-free he's almost a sure bet for double digit touchdowns. He could have done some damage with Peyton and now Luck.

Make offensive holding inside the pads legal, make wrapping illegal. Change pass interference back to what it was 3 years ago. Move the kickoff back to the 20 or even the 15. No sudden death overtime. Just a 5th quarter.

Delete the Patriots from the NFL.

I admire your devotion to the Colts as your username clearly indicates CSA, but I respect the Patriots actually because their heated rivalry with us, not to mention the stellar quality of that franchise overall, creates the best level of competition and crucial attention to detail in us when we line up against NE on the opposite line of scrimmage. Just my humble opinion of course. Take it or leave it. I guess.

I just realized that I abbreviated your name incorrectly ColtsDominateAll. It should read CDA not CSA. Sorry about that one. I accidentally tapped the wrong key. oops!

Hindsight as we know is 20/20. Nicks has some of the best hands in football, and yes Victor Cruz benefited greatly...not to mention Manningham.

I have been critical of Donald Brown, but I am opening my mind to seeing what this young man can really do under the tutelage of Arians and RBs coach David Walker....and with Vick Ballard....Delone Carter...BTW....welcome to the forum...nice 2nd post. :)

Get rid of the pro bowl and just announce one all pro team and leave it at that.

Get rid of the spot foul for interceptions. I know the worry about defenders tackling a WR deep and just getting a 15 yard penalty, but nothing drives me nuts more then seeing some ticky tack call end up getting the offense a 40 yard penalty.

Move the kickoff back to where it was before last season.

Go back to the old overtime that was sudden death. You had four quarters to beat the other team so if your defense cannot stop them then you only have yourself to blame.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      I really want to win. It doesn't matter to me who the GM is. If Ballard, AR, and Steichen succeed and make us a playoff contender every year, I'll be fine with it and be happy to root for this team. I'm just sick of the losing and missing the playoffs. I trust Ballard in the draft, I trust Steichen as a QB guru. It's time for us to win, and if it's Ballard that does so, we won't have to do a complete rebuild, and that would be the biggest positive and best-case scenario that could happen.

      Am I the only one who really hopes AR and Steichen end up being a success story and this hypothetical Ballard firing doesn’t happen?

      You were picking better than me most weeks, just had unfortunate luck once or twice, I definitely earned that last spot. My average was pretty bad week after week.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By Chucklez · Posted

      You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it.

      Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time.
