because it sounds like your replying to it

Your basing all this after just ONE FUCKING SEASON!

Its like your saying, “hey if these guys underperform for just 1 season, just one, all of them should be cut or they officially suck”.

If that were the case, then Freeney would have been gone and our defense would have been at the bottom of the league in every catagory. Do you remember our team back in ‘05 when we went 13-0 to start the season? I didnt hear anyone complain of Manning doing so badly in the Cleveland gane that year, where he completed less than 50% of his passes and didnt score a single TD with 2 INT’s.

Yes the offense was awful yesterday, but one season does not dignify how bad or how much a player has lost. Get a grip.

I can agree that Harrison’s contract should be restructured.
But these money players have been top 5 in categories in the AFC for many years now, and I’m not ready to stick a fork in their scheme just yet.

It was just one of those games. Normally Addai doesn’t fumble, Vinatieri doesn’t miss, red zone offense does better than it did (especially with the goal-line stand), Peyton doesn’t throw a bad pick. Really, it looked like the weather got to them. The commentators kept talking about how Derek Anderson’s passes kept sailing. So who knows, but it was a win, away from home, with some bad breaks in the middle, a lot of injuries, and a couple key players for the Colts out before the game even started (Saturday, Bob). I’m just happy that the Colts won, and the defense kicked butt.

I’ll call those the “good teams”

Giants, Their top two WRs are Plaxico Burress who has gotten himself suspended and shot himself keeping him out of some of the few games he’s been healthy for, and Amani Toomer who has less than 500 yards this year and hasn’t topped 800 since 2003. Wayne would easily be the Giants #1. Jacobs is a great back, but has awful hands. Ward is better out of the backfield, but isn’t the receiver and blocker Addai is. Addai would be the 3rd down back. Clark has nearly double Kevin Boss’ yards and receptions. He also has more of both than any Giants receiver. Clark would start for the Giants as a slot WR/TE

Titans

, I don’t even have to go there on their WRs, Wayne is worlds better than anyone they have. Addai would beat out Fat Lendale to share carries with Chris Johnson. Lendale is a fat blob who could probably be a solid back, but would rather pull up to the table for seconds. Clark has similar numbers to Scaife and blows Crumpler and any Titans WR out of the water.

Bucs, The Bucs leading receiver was let go by the Niners last year. Wayne is far better than a guy off the scrap heap. Addai would definately see a ton of time now that Ernest Graham is out. Dunn is having a solid year, but he’s another guy off the scrap heap, cut by the Falcons. Addai would be sharing time at worst in Tampa. Clark would start over Jerramy “The Rapist” Stevens, Clark nearly doubles all his numbers.

Steelers Wayne has more catches, yards and than both Ward and Holmes and more TDs than Holmes. He’d start. The Steelers loved the Willie Parker-Mewhelde Moore combo so much they spent a first round pick on Mendenhall. Addai would split time at worst. Clark kills the Steelers 3rd WR (which is what he’d be since the Steelers like big TEs and have two good ones).

Panthers We finally get to a team with even 1 receiver in Wayne’s league. Wayne is way better than Moose Muhammad who the Bears didn’t even want. The Panthers also drafted a first round back last year, but DeAngelo Williams has broken out. Addai would be the lesser partner in the tandem (like Stewart is now). Clark more than doubles Jeff King’s production.

So of the 5 teams that have better records than the Colts there is one that Addai might not see tons of time on. Wayne would start on all 5, Clark would be the TE or slot WR for all 5.

Shake, can you just delete this thread as well? Brad if you read this, I’d appreciate it if you would strongly consider banning jay16. He’s a troll, it’s blatantly obvious.

Seriously, do we need to discuss whether the Colts have talented players on offense??

It has been up and down this year. Want to know why??
Saturday is out. Lilja, done for season. Ugoh has had an up-and-down season (and missed some time), Glenn retired pre-season last year. Rookie center and guard in right now. Oh yeah, and everyone’s favorite punching bag Charlie Johnson has been in all year. Granted he hasn’t been too bad. Peyton was hurt in the beginning of the year and rusty. I think the same could be said for Marvin, coming off a serious injury last year. The Colts haven’t had a good consistent running game due to the injuries to the O-line, therefore affecting play-action passing. It’s a double-edged sword. Oh and the Colts have played some pretty good defenses this year, too. I believe the Colts’ schedule was considered the #2 overall hardest schedule pre-season, behind the Steelers.

To be 8-4 through all that adversity is resilient.

lol, so far all I’ve got is alot of pissed off Colts fans(me included) complaining that the offense is no longer its former self. I think Irsay and Polian would laff if they saw this post. It is so funny-“I think Manning has lost it”- watch out for mister Jim Sorgi, your skills a a clip board holder have proven you well and with Peytons poor preformance at QB(becuase he cant win games by more than 10 points any more or bring a team back when behind) we believe you have earned a starting QB spot. You will be givin the top WR free agents this league has to offer. Great names such as Aaron Moorehead, Craphonso Thorpe, and some dude whose last name begins with an “A”. Also running back Kenton Keith and tight end Byron Fletcher. We’ve also added Mike “GKOAT” Vanderjact to or roster. What were we thinking when we handed out all this money to big name players when winning is so cheap?

Assuming Shake is monitoring this thread… time to start up for tonight’s game?

You guys remember when BBS put up a pic of Dungy and the defense under the bus after the Jags ran for 375 in 2006? I don’t even think there was this much spirited discussion in that post.

Seriously though, the Colts are a team that has a great quarterback, a great safety, a great (albeit not as dominant as before) wide receiver and a great center. And right now the center is out, the safety is out, the quarterback isn’t quite as sharp as he was and the wide receiver isn’t 28 anymore.

I still think they can get it done. Marvin and Peyton have more than each other in the WR corps than ever before. Saturday can get healthy. Bob can get healthy (and we’ve all seen what a healthy Bob can do to the Colts in the postseason). Peyton still leads the team to victory, sometimes solely on his shoulders. The defense has been rocky, but I have been impressed with the run D over the last 5 games, half of which Bob has been absent from. Hard to imagine how good it may be with him back. Just like in 2006, if this team gets healthy and in the postseason, it can be dangerous.

I hate myself for reading all the way through this thread. Just stop answering Jay’s questions and make him look something up. Its called Google, Jay. Use it.

I’m convinced after 15 minutes of “trolling” through this thread that Jay16 is a psych major and he’s writing some paper on the dynamics of social networks and sports fans. I’ve never before seen a “troll” take the persona that he has. His only point seems to be to get people riled up. He clearly knows nothing about football beyond what ESPN tells you on Sunday mornings. All of his points come merely from highlight reels and limited anecdotal observations. The only explanation is that he’s doing a study in sports forum psychology. I vote we just start ignoring him unless he wants to make more educated and knowledgeable points.

It had over 250 the last time I checked.

I feel like I need to say something, well two things:

1. Antichrist Superstar is a kickass album.
2. Thank the heavens (or BBS) jay16 was banned.

We could offer Saturday $8.5m next season and still have room under the cap, and that’s way, way more than he’d get on the open market. I’m not sure what an elite C is worth in the NFL, but nowhere near that much. And that’s assuming the cap doesn’t increase at all, which it usually does.

We don’t need to cut Harrison to free up a little cap space to resign people. Although I also think we should restructure Harrison’s deal, he’s not worth #1WR money any more.

Then again, look at what Ashley Lelie’s earning in Oakland…
