Pre-Game Chit-Chat

PrintWe're injured.
We're "ripe" for the pickin'.
The Texans know this is a big game and they simply "must win."
Blah. Blah. Blah.
By reading the lay of the media landscape, the Colts are supposed to lose this game so the National Press can claim Indy was a "fraud" for winning 7 games against bad teams to start the year, and the Texans become this year's version of the Jaguars. That's the script it seems everyone is reading from. It's the same old, tired melodrama everyone likes to play up prior to a pivotal game featuring the Colts.
Do you get the sense that media people are just sick of seeing Indy win? I do.
I get the sense the normal cadre of media douchbags, like Jason Whitlock, Bob Kravitz, and the entire ESPN network are sharpening their steak knives, ready to carve into the wounded side of the Colts.
Anyway, use this pre-game chat thread to flap your virtual lips until 12:45. Go Colts!

Do you get the sense that media people are just sick of seeing Indy win?
They’ve been so for years now. Occasionally they’re the same way about New England. But anyone else who has any kind of winning streak becomes the second coming…

I think they live for New England winning streaks. Helps justify their worshiping at the alter of Belicheck.
Go Colts!

not necessarily New England
just Boswash teams. They want to see winning streaks in highly populated areas, NYG, NYJ, NE, PHI, etc. It’s a business and that’s where the ratings are. It sucks, but it is what it is.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
i thought they learned from that already
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!

now I'm assuming the team has no say in the decision
or they know something about the sun today that we don’t
How can you not love a team that does this?
if we start going the other way we wil have the advantage but that is a big risk to take
i sure hope they win the coin toss

I think technically we have to root against YOU this week
since we don’t play you and control our own destiny vis a vis the Bronchoes
But if you beat the Texans and we beat the Broncos
You’ll be 2 games ahead of EVERYONE in the conference!

Does anyone know if Jack Williams cleared waivers? How long of a process is it?
Roof Open last week
I was there, my annual 600 mile travel to the Luke. It was very cold. I was on the sunny side of the field and you have to shield your eyes for 2 quarters. Please close the roof.

Fumble the punt again since the roof is open, ugh.

All right!
The downfall of the mighty Colts begins TODAY!! Can’t wait to get this inevitable 9-game losing streak under way! What goes up MUST come down, and it must come down HARD.
Something like that…

Injuries
I am so sick of hearing the media proclaim the sky is falling in Indy because sanders is hurt again. Bullitt has become just as good a safety as bob and is probably better in coverage.
what do you mean?
MARLIN JACKSON, STARTING CB, IS OUT FOR THE YEAR!
Number of Games Marlin Jackson has started at Corner: 0
Number of Games Spazmo has started at corner: 0
Hey guys, I hate to alarm you, but I’m Doubtful (Lazy ass) for the rest of the year, I hope Tim Jennings can man up in my stead.
man, with SpazMo Doubtful, and myself Out (Terminally Unathletic)
I just don’t see how this goes well.

At 7-9 we’ll probably pick around 14th… maybe we can package peyton and the pick and move up and draft TEBOW so that we can win again!

OT: LMAO! Berman on ESPN, regarding the Wildcat
Topic is "Is “wildcat” offense a dying breed?" Swami’s response:
In the ’40s, they stopped it eventually…
ROFL!
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
seems like announcers looking at scores again
the Jets stopped the wildcat last week and Im pretty sure it’ll be shutdown tonight. Once teams stop thinking and start playing it’ll be done and over with, see Ravens, Baltimore last year. Ronnie Brown is going to throw litterally less than 1% of the time, stop playing c2 against it, blitz on the edges (CBs), maintain gap responsibility, and it’ll be gone until they get someone that can pass.

Game plan
The texans jump out to an early and seemingly insurmountable lead in which I/we question our faith as Colts fans. Peyton works some of his voodoo magic and the Colts somehow pull the game out of their ass. BBS then lechers us un how we always need to “keep it in our pants” and that this is what the Colts usually do.
AND BREAK!
Ohhhh.... keep it **IN** our pants...
… That’s what I’ve been doing wrong!

BBS and everyone is saying not to be worried about this game but:
to be honest, I’ve been worried about this game the entire season. Division games are always tough, Texans are really motivated as they finally have a winning season going, and we are banged up. Personally I don’t care about Bob Sanders being hurt, he is a luxury really, or Jackson, or even Gonzo. The one person I was looking for on the injury report was Brown. I honestly feel as if he is our spark plug for the running game and he can make things happen that no other RB on our roster can.
As for the roof being open once again, I feel that they learned their lesson from last week and will try to get the field position so that the sun works in their favor.
I’m not predicting that the Colts will lose this game, but at the same time I will not be surprised if we do lose.
Go Colts!
im worried about every game
but I’m part irish and scottish and live in a country that thinks being known for alcohol is a plus, by half time the only thing i’ll be worried about is peeing every 3 minutes.

Need help?
Fantasy question: Should I start a questionable but active Devin Hester or Austin Collie?
Collie if you just want 5 or 6 points
Hester if need someone that can give you a big day, but with the risk of giving you nothing (and not because of the injury, just because he’s hester). Hester is the #1 WR in that offense and the Cards pass defense isnt the best, but I have a feeling they might bring it this game. Hope this helps!

Unless you factor in the fact that pretty much ALL of them have picked the Colts to win this game…..
Very few people in the media have actually picked the Texans to win this game, they overwhelmingly favor the Colts despite what you may feel about their analysis.

no
they are ‘media’ picking the Colts.
Whats a “media” pick, you ask? Its a CYA pick. “The Texans are better this year than any other year. They have Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson healthy. Their defense is young and getting better. Mario WIlliams will harrass the Colts. The Colts are injured. They suck. Peyton Manning has sex with goats. The Texans are probably going to win by 412 points…. BUT YOU CANNOT PICK AGAINST THE COLTS!”

I think this is a reverse trap game…so much of a trap game that it turns into a blowout.
you think the texans are gonna blow us out? I agree. 104 - 0(they miss the 15th PAT)
