PFT,
No, what I’m saying is that I would like you to cite examples of how the Colts draft so much worse than their peers.
The fact is that the Colts very rarely play big on the free agent market, so they must be doing something right in the draft to keep winning in such a big way.

Ravenschick
Tony Ugoh was a 2nd rounder!!!! Not like they took him with a top 10. Take a look at the Ravens 2nd rounders the last 10 years. Not exactly a who’s who of the NFL.
By the way, that pathetic OL kicked your @$$ last January.

Excuse me “windawg” you are NOW saying that Polian is no longer drafting better than his peers??? That is the whole point, his whole claim is he is BETTER than everyone else.

As far as the draft goes, please cite some specifics on draft failures??
============================
Uh, Tony Ugoh? And that’s just off the top of my head.
That OL that is made up of Saturday, Diem and a bunch of low round draft picks/free-agents is going to get Manning injured. Indy simply has not invested draft picks on the OL to protect Manning. After yesterday, I bet Peyton misses Tarik Glenn.

PFT,
I’ve followed the Colts since they arrived in Indy. I’m well educated on the team, which is why I’m asking you to cite some examples of how the Colts have drafted so much worse than their peers.

If I need to educate you on your own team, then you are new and that is why you sound so ridiculous.

…. at least we do not have to go through the sitting the starters for an undefeated team in week 16 anymore … oh and sorry for Sanders, just don’t bring him back anymore … if you did this to a horse you would have the humane society on your a$$ …

PFT, considering that I have posted on this site probably less than 10 times, and had not even heard of the site until last season, I don’t see how you could have possibly each season anticipating my posts. LOL
Yes, you are right, the Colts are have horrible leadership, and have no clue what they are doing!! Thats why they have have won at least 12 games in each of the last 7 seasons, and have been to 2 of the last 4 Super Bowls!!
As far as the draft goes, please cite some specifics on draft failures?? Considering that they rarely are players in the free agent market, they are always reloading through the draft, as well as undrafted free agents.
Also, and I’m sure you would have no experience with this, because you are probably a Buffalo, Tennessee, Atlanta, Chicago, or Detroit fan( or some other middle of the road or turd team), drafting at the end of the line is much tougher than having top 10′s.

The same thing happened with the Chicago Bears and Mike Brown (another safety, to boot). Really talented player, but he could just never stay healthy.

WINDAWG:
Every year I can’t wait to figure what your log on is. Obviously you are the Colts payroll. Calling the Colts ‘Well Run”, that is a joke. If you call dictatorship, well run? Dictatorships never last…. As others have said in this post, the drafts have gone downhill the last several years. You have had a huge change in scouting and it shows. It was funny how someone mentioned the Corey Simon pick up. That was all Chris Polian. I wanted to give credit were credit is due.

It would be more of a news story that Bob made it through a game without an injury.

Ed Reed sucks in run support and when he does get a pick he routinely coughs it up due to holding the ball one handed. He HAS single handedly handed games to the Colts due to this. P.S. Ed Reed isn’t playing right now either.
Sanders excels in it
They are different players
Troy is able to do both pretty well.

I love all the talk online this am about the demise of the Colts….All of it after just one game. We might as well just pack-it-in in Indy and turn off the lights. The season is over according to you geniuses.
While I’m sick and tired of seeing Sanders go down season after season, the fact is the Colts have been just fine without him. Bullit is a fine safety and will carry the load. This will be the final season for Sanders in Indy, but for the idiots out there that don’t understand the business end of football, his cap number was very friendly this season, and it made no sense to let him go this year.
This team is will be in the thick of things come January, just like they always are. So unless your team was won more than one playoff game over the last five years, shut the $%#@ up. You bash the Colts because you wish your team was as successful and well run as Indy is.

uhhh…never mention sanders in the same sentence as ed reed or polomalu. he’s not even in the same solar sysytem. he’s easily the most overrated player i’ve seen in a long time.

There is glass that doesn’t break as easy as this guy. Dude should find a new career. Although, this one pays well for never playing.

This is unfortunate for Sanders, when healthy he is a top safety in the league with the ranks of Ed Reed and Troy Polomalu.

Say what you will the guy is a game changer. Difficult when injuries hurt not only the player but the team who counts on the player.

simon – i’m pretty sure florio retired from law a while ago. i am 99% sure he has casually mentioned here and there.
i think bob sanders is remarkable when he plays his annual 3 or 4 quarters, but the colts have bigger problems along that frontline.
when i saw florio and rosenthal taking the texans i thought it was a little silly at the time – but the analysis was spot on. i have never seen peyton abused so thoroughly.

“J. Clayton says:

Well,
Now Polian can get the rules changed where there is no tackling. ”
I know you are joking but I would not put this past Lord Polian.

Reminds me of Willie Buchanon. Could have been one of the all time greats but for this same problem (injury prone)

league circles
you mean you Florio right?
Is this like the time Gary Brackett was rumored to have broken his forearm?
Or the time Terry Bradshaw was pronounced dead on this site?
The funny thing is people don’t catch on to the simple fact that all you do is throw multiple lines in the water and are bound to occasionally get a bite.
Oh well… until someone invents truthfulprofootballtalk.com this is what we gotta go with.

Goodbye Bob. Thanks for the effort. Colts, it is sadly time to move on
