Around SBN: Sean Keeley's Week 12 College Football Buffet

Far Too Long

It has been 328 days since any single Colts runner has had a 100 yard game. (That was Addai against the Texans, his only of the 08 season f.y.i.)

It has been 279 days since Bob Sanders has been in a game. (Including the playoff game against the Chargers, he only played 7 games.)

It has been 228 days since Marvin Harrison was a Colt. (Already?)

It has been 27 days since Gonzo went down with his knee injury. (He's already missed a quarter of the season.)

 

BUT

It has still been 348 days since the Colts last had a regular season loss. That is astounding. 

My question to you guys is, if you had, and I mean ABSOLUTELY HAD, to pick one person to attribute this success to, who would it be?

Poll
Who is the ONE person that has helped the most to get the Colts through almost an entire year without a regular season loss?

Bill Polian

Easiest Poll ever made

I love it how sports commentators say you need to run the ball and control the clock to win, try telling that to manning.

Irsay hired Polian drafted Manning

So I think Irsay has got to get the credit.

you cant say

that irsay and polian knew it was gonna be like this. Manning is most definitely the reason.

As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.

Gotta be Peyton,

He’s one in a million. Literally.

Had a tough time choosing between Polian and Peyton

Dungy was my clear 3rd choice.

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

I would have chosen Gruden

but he wasn’t listed as a choice.

Its all about P Money

He isn’t the best QB for just any reason. He is the best QB for the reason you stated above and more

Speaking of P Money...

What kind of contract is he going to get next year?!?!

by SupermanWearsBobSander'sPJs on Oct 10, 2009 11:47 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I dont mind if he gets the biggest QB contract

but it would be nice to have him sign to a cap friendly deal (if there even will be a cap next year)

by metal_militia on Oct 10, 2009 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Robert Irsay

Otherwise no #1 pick in ’98.

Wait,

what the heck is Bob Lamey doing in this poll? What did he do that had any impact on the performance of the Colts? Also, who was the idiot that voted for Lamey?

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This is what happens when college students get bored.
