Recap Week Meaningless

Wow, this is increasingly an unpleasant blog. Can we begin to examine the playoffs? I agree that our actions against the Jets were cowardly, but we can’t just continually live in week 15. The playoffs are coming up man, THE PLAYOFFS!

get over it.

to comprehend that 16-0 actually DOESN’T matter to the Colts? They accomplished every goal they set out to accomplish.

On top of all that, there’s something else that nobody has yet pointed out:

resting starters = experience for backups

We want better depth going into the playoffs, right? Playing backups for 5 quarters makes them more ready, and our team deeper overall.

I agree with most of your recent articles. I’m basically over the jets debacle, but I don’t think we should just go all hoosier and forgive and forget, besides the fans interests were put aside to not risk the stars, but the star’s stat interests trumped the previous idea while outdoors on ice.

is identical to a recent Mike Florio posting. (Colts hater par excellence)

Kravitz and Florio. Is that really the company you want to keep BBS?

Are you making fun of us?

This blog is full of “the sky is falling” type posts. At least now I know anything written by BBS i know to just keep on scrolling to the next entry. What a negative guy. The colts are going to be fine. Playoffs cant get here soon enough!

BBS, myself, and others, have repeatedly tried to promote the “debate” that you supposedly endorse. But, when you repeatedly keep writing YOUR view, as if it were the objective truth and belief of all other colts fans, despite 4 excellent, highly recommended fan posts DEFENDING Bill Polian on your own website, you are engaging in the exact type of sensationalist, crappy, “bad journalism” that you so often bash others for doing. \
Aside from shakes article, you have made NO EFFORT to link on the front page to the numerous other people who think that 19-0 is meaningless or that Bill Polian has the right to do what he did. Instead of talking about the more interesting angles, you continue to engage in petty name calling about 19-0. People on your site are trying to present both sides to the issue: and guess what, their are TWO sides. Articulating one, over and over and over is not “good journalism.” I, for one, am done reading your site until the playoffs are over because you refuse to right interesting articles.

Here is a list of articles you could have written over the past week and chose not to, instead, writing over and over again about 19-0, cowardice, and how angry you are at Bill Polian.

Which playoff teams do the colts want to face
Playoff matchup previews for every potential opponents.
Injury status updates for our opponents.
Comparing our playoff draw to past years.
A user prediction.

I would have loved to see any of these things on this site; instead, I get an article that reads like Kravitz/Cole junior…the same lack of analysis, with a little profanity sprinkled in for fun. You need to make a choice. The lowest common demoninator of fan loves this stuff; that’s why peter king has millions of readers, but this site is supposed to be something DIFFERENT, BETTER. Doing a colts focused Peter king approach is Kravitz. This blog was something better, and it can be something better.

Oh and as for the individual record “inconsistency” (something that all-wise Peter king also commented on). As numerous people have pointed out, it is important to the colts that the players get their stats for their contracts, personal validation, etc. Sure, Dallas Clark would have loved to be on the 19-0 2009 colts. But, I think he also wants to be able to catch 100 balls. Just because one isn’t worth the risk of injury doesn’t mean the other isn’t, especially when one considers that the starters were going to play regardlss, as they wanted to maintain rhythm, by playing a few series, and while doing that they tried to meet those goals. They did the exact SAME thing against the jets. They played the number of series they wanted to and tried to put up enough points to win the game. It just didn’t happen here.

of fans that would like to stop reading about what a jerk Bill Polian is and perhaps read something about the playoffs as we are now officially in playoffs mode.

BBS, what did you think of the decision to pull the starters against the Jets? Haven’t seen you write anything about it yet.

Big Boo Hoo,

You sound like a little girl who wet her panties. Do you really know much about football? Have you every played football? You act as if having healthy, rested players is of no value. This is not real complicated, the Colts did what they said they woud do – rest players. They also said going undefeated has never been a goal of theirs. I wonder if any NFL team has ever started a season with an actual goal of winning every game. I magine the actual goals are getting to the playoffs and winning a super bowl. The Colts are now in a great postiion to enter the playoffs as healthy and rested as possible. Sounds like a great strategy and position to be in, and I for one am very excited. However, the only thing that will determine if they win or lose will be the play on the field – nothing else. Whoever executes on the field – makes their tackles, blocks, catches, runs, passes will win. Those who do not execute will not – not real complicated. So get over it Big Boo Hoo and all you other whiners, get some dry panties on and pull up your big boy pants. The Colts likely do not even know Stampede Blue exists and if they do, I am sure have spent a combined 1 second reading your material.

The Jets game is over AND the Bills game is over. Bottom line is that when you lose in sports you’re ALWAYS going to be second guessed. That’s why, while I don’t necessarily agree with Polian’s resting approach all the time, sticking to his guns was most important. We as fans and the players are allowed to do the emotional. Good decision makers have to make non-emotional decisions. That’s what led to drafting Wayne and Clark in the first round when the world cried defense, defense, defense. Now will what happened worked? We shall see.

Since this is supposed to be a recap of the game. Did anyone else think that Sam Giguere may be the returner we have been looking for or was it just because of the field conditions? I thought he looked much quicker than Simpson has all year

get over it.

1) Sam Gigure had some good returns.
2) Baldwin made a few plays
3) Humber is a beast. he’s just unrefined and gets out of position too easily.. He’s like last year’s clint session
4) the replacements on the o line are not so hot. Richard, Toudouze, etc

I think we all love Jim Sorgi a lot more after the last two weeks. I think the Colts are going to ROLL through the post season. I think all this bullshit is putting a nice chip on their shoulders
