the future is now

my time to kill is now dead.

There are also a lot of rude Colts fans. Not so much on this board, because I think a good number of us have been humbled by playoff losses or were actually fans of the team before Peyton showed up. However, I know a lot of people that only jumped on the bandwagon when Peyton came to town, and they act like idiots. Lets not pretend that all Colts fans are polite, intelligent people. Just saying…

I check this site daily. I don’t remember thinking to myself over the last few weeks “boy there are a lot of Titans trolls here”….what I am trying to say is that what the heck? You write a story bashing Titans fans when I have not seen them around. What do you expect them to do? Also as a life long Colts fan…I dont really care what the team has done in the past. I care about now. Yes it was great winning a Super Bowl and all the division titles, etc. But that was in the past…why not look forward? We are still a great team and who knows where we will end up this season or next?

Also the argument that we have owned the Titans makes me laugh..because you then turn around and bash Pats fans…who have owned the Colts in the past. I am not talking about recent regular season games or even our great playoff comeback…before that the Pats flat out owned us…thats the facts. Once again…all in the past….who cares?

Here is to a Colts Super Bowl victory in 2009!!

I’ll leave this kind of crap for the Jim Rome show.

it’s kinda funny, these types of arguments aren’t all that different then when people argue over religion on the internet

all that matters is now
——-Stat——————-Titans—————————Colts
Total Offense————-17———————————20
Passing Offense———24———————————-6
Rushing Offense———-3———————————-31
Total Defense—————3———————————-12
Passing Offense———-3————————————5
Rushing Defense———7———————————-25

I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure that 5-1 is a pretty good ratio

Suck this year. They’ve barely scraped past some of the worst teams (except for the Bungles). The Titans will beat them in week 17 and will beat them in the playoffs if we play. Their has been a changing of the guard, Peyton’s over the hill, and BBS is the most annoying ************** i’ve ever met.

Maybe I’m just a homer, but I really don’t understand all of the Titans side of this argument. I’ll give you some credit you’re 11-1, and have a very good defense. You also in my opinion have the offensive rookie of the year in Chris Johnson.

Where I get lost for 1. Is this illusion that having the best record in the regular season guarantees you anything. Because I think in past seasons, especially lately, it’s shown that it doesn’t. We can simply go back to last year, and see that illustration, yet for some reason so many Titan fans seem to not have been present for the N.E. Patriots not so perfect season.

2. This idea the Colts are done??? I’m pretty sure the Colts yet again are in great shape to win 12 games, for the 6th straight time. I also would like to point out that this is the first year, that our chance at a successful season has been questioned in those 6 years, it’s also the first season we’ve faced the injuries we have this year. I’m a firm believer you can only take the past to make decisions on what you should expect from the future. In that case, I believe our resume is a lot more solid than the Titans. I mean I would think that 6 years of success means more than 2, but maybe I’m wrong. It’s just that I would rather count the Colts done when they’re at full strength and not producing, not when they’re hurt, and still winning 12 games, I don’t care who the wins came against. Especially when the people calling our schedule easy, root for a team with the same schedule except for two lousy games.

3. When did it become general knowledge that a team that has one good year is guaranteed future success. Especially when you’re huge impact defensive player, only decided to be a worthwhile piece to your attack when he was up for a new contract. Seems he’s out to get paid, which means no home town discount, and no desire to play to the level he is currently, once he’s got his money. With that you also get into Kearse not being half the player he was, when he played for the Titans before. Bulluck your leading tackler is only a year younger than Manning, so if you want to say Manning is over the hill, why don’t you look at the fact that Bulluck is showing signs of aging in his stats, far greater than Manning. Just last year he posted his worse year since 2001, his tackle numbers dropped like 50 tackles. He’s only on pace to make like 20 more this year than last, still way off pace of his prime days. Vanden Bosch is showing signs of being injury prone in only his 8th NFL season. As well you have to seriously doubt his effectiveness in the event you lose Haynesworth. You take this D-line away from this team, and you have a dramatically different defense. One that doesn’t control the line a scrimmage, and doesn’t hold teams to 92 yards of rushing a game. A defense that no longer can pressure the QB, allowing you’re corners to be as dominate as they are. Just like the Chargers who thought they had things guaranteed, and then their pass rush fell apart, suddenly they’re corners that were rated so high, just like yours were exposed. Amazing how important basically one guy is to your team. Also interesting how, even if you bring him back you’re not guaranteed the same success, because he’s a worthless human being.
As far as you’re offense goes the only thing I can point out is you have one thing to be excited about and that’s Chris Johnson. At the same point it would be a fear of mine as well, since he’s not a QB, I don’t believe it’s good to have 1 player account for 31.5% of your total offensive production. What if this is just a fluke season, like so many in the past have had, or what happens if you lose him to injury. What happens is your future is instantly turned upside down because of one player. And due to your success, your chances of building pieces around him are lowered, and due to you paying people outrageous sums of money to sit on the bench, it hampers your ability to build through free agency.
Seriously though keep blindly over exaggerating your teams current accomplishments, and chances at future ones, just do us a favor and have some of these thoughts in mind.
