I can’t wait.

But first… we get the 49ers. GO COLTS!

wait, what were we talking about?

1. I kinda have this “theory” that Vince Young is a “winner”. He doesn’t win nicely (like the Saints) or average-ly (like Kyle Orton), but he wins football games. Or at least he used to.
3. Too much jucking-dancing…I like DB’s north-south running and home-run speed. He’ll be the starter, eventually. The best thing that could happen is Mike Hart being above-average or good too…On the other hand, I don’t like Chad Simpson, and that 35 yarder or whatever won’t change my mind.
4. The Steelers are not a 60 minute football time, but we weren’t in 2006 and in some games last year, so… They could make a run such as the one we did last year.
5. Jay Cutler’s trying to do too much, and he doesn’t have the o-line or the receivers he used to have in Denver. He was overrated last year, and he’s back to reality.
6. I’ve got a stellar team in my ESPN Football League and I am the current leader. On Flea Flicker’s Stampede Blue, I can’t say the same thing :S. I haven’t payed a lot of attention to it..At least I’m leading on the one I’m actually betting.
7. Steven Jackson rocks…And he wouldn’t be so injury prone in another team with a good O LINE.
8. Injury Bug…Injury Bug
9. Cedric Benson is motivated, and he’ll continue to play good as long as he keeps being motivated. I wouldn’t give him a 5+ year contart.
10. Favre ruined his stellar GB years…

1.i so agree with your opinion on there ways to improve. but they now may have a possible solution or at least a better solution to the QB situation than VY althought they seem unlikly to do it. his name is john booty he was the 2nd-3rd QB for the vikings that was picked up in the last week. he is a alum. from USC and may work better. and they do need to fix that defense.
2. i think they have finaly got some consistance from warner but i dont think they are really that good yet. they still have big running issues ( too too many fumbles) and im just not sure what is going on with there wide recievers they are not doing very good at catching.
3. ok on the addai situation true he isn’t playing great. but he is a good back but needs to be more precice in his moves he waits to long to try and hit the holes and needs to have an idea of where he is going before the ball is snaped then adjust. mabye it has to do with him recognizing the linebackers and how they are playing. he needs to stop trying to be a guy who can fake out the D with his agility and ability to change directions fast cause he doesn’t really have that IMO. also as far as third down backs id rather have Brown i think he is a much better 3rd down back as he seams to be more physical and has the drive it seems.
4 have started doing better than they were to start the season but yea they are not back to even the level they were the last few years. i dont know if id say overrated as no one has really said they were that good this year.
5. yep cutler is def. overrated
6. nothing to say :)
7. yep way better than anyone else on that team.
8. BOO
9. he will be back to his old usless self next year i am sure
10 farve needs to just hang it up for good, he was a great player but it is now getting old his time has come and gone and he needs to see that.

that Downtown Donald Brown can give you. I still put most of the blame on the O-line’s run blocking, but I think Brown is just better than Addai mainly because I like his running style and I think he’s cute. ;-)

I hope everyone in Lambeau Field boos the hell out of Favre’s ass. You don’t go to a divisional rival just to prove something to the GM and coach. You don’t turn your backs on the Green Bay fans who have supported you for nearly two decades.

 If he knew he wanted to play into his 40s, then he should’ve told the Packers. They would’ve have not wasted a draft pick on Rodgers and could’ve used that pick on something else. Then after Rodgers gets to Green Bay, Favre doesn’t even have the decency to guide Rodgers by saying crap like, “When I was a rookie, no one helped me out, so why should I do that for him?” What a douche! I’m glad Peyton, Reggie, and the other vets have a team mentality because at the end of the day, that’s what’s important. I applaud the Packers for showing Favre that he doesn’t run shyt!!

Reggie pissed on Kimmy K, too?!?! First Ray J, now Bush?!? Damn, I guess Kim is the queen of golden showers. :-)

VY isn’t really starting to “see what he can do” or try to turn the season around. He’s starting because at 0-6, they have absolutely nothing to lose and they might as well take the 1 in a million shot that he stops sucking. They’re not seeing what they have so much as they’re publicly ruling him out as useful. Fisher and other coaches know it, but moron fans think he’s good and want to see him, and the owner that is wasting all that money on him is just hoping he can get some ROI. He’ll play the rest of the year, and he’ll win some games because there’s nowhere to go but up, but he’ll have his usual 50-55% completion percentage with stupid throws and terrible reads and that’ll be enough for people to see that he’s awful and then they’ll be free to cut him.

1. WillyDuer is right on the Titans. They are playing VY because the best move for the team is to find out whether he can really play (unlikely) so they can move on if (when) he sucks.

1. Cards aren’t bad and are making the playoffs thanks to the division they’re in. They got stomped by the Colts because that’s what elite teams do to mediocre ones.

1. Hate overrated as a sports term since everyone rates things differently and has differing perceptions of something as subjective as how a team is being publicly rated. Steelers look good but not great. The D has had bizarre 4th quarter collapses in most games and the OL is still terrible.

1. I thought Orton played well before his ankle injury last year. I did think the Broncos were going to be terrible, but that had more to do with the defense being in ruins and scheme transition than concern about the QB play. Orton is more than competent.

#6-10 agree or don’t care.

but I could not agree with you less on some of these points.

1.) Agreed
2.) I think the Cardinals are a legitimate threat in the NFC. Our 31-10 vasectomy we gave them spoke more about a Colts team running on all cylinders that night. The Cards beat Houston (who I still think is a Wild Card team) and just beat the Giants. Now the Giants may be a tad ovrrated, but that may be one of the better, more impressive road wins by any team all year.
3.) Agree Completely
4.) Here’s where we really disagree. I honestly feel that the Steelers are the 2nd best team in the AFC. One of their losses was due to their idtiot kicker, and the easily could have won the Cincy game. I feel that they will get better defensively as the year goes on with Troy back. Both of those games were lost when Troy was out. They killed the Chargers (that game was nowhere near the defensive breakdown that people thought it was). I felt they outplayed the Steelers all night. Remember, they too had a TD called back for a dubious penalty and without Harvin’s kick return it probably is not close. I have no doubt in my mind that the Colts are the best team in the AFC, but the one team I will lose some sleep with if they come to the Luke in the playoffs is Pittsburgh. BTW, to me, the Vikings are still the most overrated team. Them and the Falcons.
5.) Yes, and no. Cutler is overrated, but it is hard to say that the Broncos are better off without him. They are 6-0 with their defense. Their defense stays the same if Cutler stays. Maybe they lose one of those wins because Cutler throws a pick-six, but if they play us in the playoffs, I would be more afriad of them with Cutler back there.
6.) Can’t argue with you there.
7.) Definitely
8.) I guess. They have had a scary time with injuries the past couple of years. Hasselbeck has aged pretty well though. But, yeah, I probably would not go there.
9.) I still feel the old Cedric is still there. He was so awful. It would be like if JaMarcus siged with the Browns and became an all-pro. Turnarounds like that don’t happen.
10.) I only care, because I want to see Aaron Kampman and Clay Matthews and AJ Hawk throw him on the frozen tundra. I have never rooted harder for the Packers.

Anyway, it is the debate that makes sports interesting, so there are my thoughts. Keep on rambling, King. There is never anything wrong with that.

There’s no doubt that they’ll win their division, still arguably one of the worst in the league. It will be fun watching these guys get trounced in the playoffs.

Ahh…it brings me back to…last season… Same things were said about those guys after they lost big to the Cheatriots. Their Wild Card game was a sure victory for the Falcons. Didn’t happen? Well, Ok, Carolina will get them at home…um, guess not. No problema, Philly and Donovan McFagg will get them, after all they defeated little Eli and the #1 team in the NFC. NAH!!!! Cards almost won the SB.

Not saying it will happen again this year but, it is quite similar

looking forward to watching him get talked over and made fun of.

Very fun read.

i liked the part where you called Chester Taylor a DICK, hahahah!

stray away from the pack. You should post more often, even though I totally disagree with your assessment on Addai. To me, he is still a good back. He may not have Brown’s break away ability, but he can get the necessary yards. Terrific in pass blocking, and a pretty damn good receiver. He is still a great asset to the team.

Benson’s woe is me attitude…just the opposite. He is playing hard, and doing well…credit to him. Why do you care anyway? And as for Bobzilla…I think we can remove that moniker from him…you have to actually play the game…its like someone still calling Merriman ‘lights out’…what ever!

Great post, funny.
But I still think Addai can be used effectively in our offense. He’s not as bad as you say he is. I know we’ve been over this before so I’ll shut up.

you didn’t really make any claims beyond Addai sucks so bad. So I’m just going to leave it an Nuh-Uh.

And considering I haven’t had to deal with supporting a horrible team since the 90’s (well just two seasons ago if you count the Fins which I do depending on the alignment of the stars on that given day)

What alignment of the stars would lead a blogger on a colts’ fan site to support one of the colts’ historical rivals?

They’re not starting Young because they want to see if he can win them ten games, they’re starting him because they want to decide, once and for all, if it’s worth giving him $14m next season or whatever it is he’s owed.

As he sucks, they’ll quickly realise it’s not and startin tanking.
