OT: A Colt's Fan Perspective On This Season

[5 Rings for Brady!!]

I would imagine that many of the Pats fans who downplay "only" one Superbowl win and call it a "fluke" and denigrate it as "one and done" are young Pats fans.

All they know is success. They don't know what it is like to search for 10-15 years to just find a decent quarterback, or to go 5-6 years without even making the playoffs. They don't know what it's like to sit in the cellar looking up at the team that has managed to hold the division for a half a decade or more.

To many, many fans in the league, a Superbowl win is an unbelievable achievement, and not to be downplayed just because you can't turn one win into a dynasty. And last year's AFCCG was no fluke for Manning. I'm still amazed that, with arguably one of the biggest monkeys on his back in the history of sports, against the nemesis that was largely responsible for putting it there, he was able to bring that team back from 21-3 down.

Did he get some breaks from the Pats during that comeback? Sure. Did Tom Brady get some breaks from the Rams, or from the tuck rule, or from San Diego fumbling his otherwise game-ending INT in last year's playoff game?

The Colts are not capable of winning any big games without the help of the refs. They have come to depend on it. Nice to see Marvin Harrison back in the game and crying for a flag every play. If Polian's cozy arrangement with the refs ever runs out, the Colts won't even be able to beat the Jaguars pretty soon. They lost to you on bad calls this year.

New England did not get any lucky breaks in the Rams game. They got a Tebucky Jones touchdown called back. The refs did their job. The tuck rule is only a lucky break in the mind of IDIOTS. Again, the refs did their job (although the 15 yard penalty for Woodson hitting Brady in the head would have been a lot sweeter). If you want to call the San Diego game lucky, than every game has elements of luck in it. San Diego didn't get the job done.

Because you forgot Osgood, Kaeding, Scifres, lo neal, marcus mcneil (pro bowl STARTER as a rookie). The Chargers are more complete than the patriots. Yes tom brady is a better qb this season than rivers but I believe Rivers can go toe to toe with brady as he did manning. He may have gone over 350 or possibly 400 yards if he plays the 4th quarter against the nubmer 1 scoring defense in the league.
When you look at the depth the pats have nice depth the Chargers is nicer. Michael Tuner, Jacques Cesaire, Drayton Florence, and Eric Weddle are all solid contributors at key positions corner, RB, DL and safety.

Oh and its not even close in the DBackfield. 30 ints to lead the NFl. Cromartie. SOlid, Jammer Solid pro bowl caliber, Drayton FLorence would start on most the teams in the league. Eric Weddle in the dime package and McCree hitting people like he did reggie wayne at safety and its not close. I know what harrison can do. I'm a chargers fan remember? I also know harrison weaknesses. Fact is he's slow but makes GREAT reads. Rivers has quick release perhaps the quickest in the game today.

hahahaha you morons are adding your kicker to the talent level ? that too Nate "the chokejob" Kaeding

hahaha. No wonder SD = Stupid Dumbfuks

Yea, how many phantom PI penalties calls do colts get ? and our injuries/Flu n our Defense caught up with us. Still Brady almost pulled it out.

Yet we gave no excuses.

Bottomline...Pats shut up and play.....Colts and your GM continually whine and still lose.

Hmmmmm....there's just something about saying "the refs were terrible, we were injured & sick & you got lucky....but WE don't make excuses" that seems kind of funny....

As evidenced by ****head Polian complaining about the delay of game rules he put in place back when he and Saint Dungheap represented 40% of the competition committee.

He meant that the players and organization never gave excuses. And they never have, even thought they could have complained about any number of legit issues.

While Manning found a way to throw his team under the bus again this year with his "the whole team played better" comment about the Chargers, trying once again to deflect blame from himself. And Polian b#tching about his own damn rules.

 

[speed]

Its what makes it great and what makes it heartbreaking. It's one and done.

It's why March madness is so awesome. Any team could lose at any time.

You don't have to be better, you have to be better that day.

The teams that don't have hope are the ones that don't make the playoffs every year. But you know every mini camp in the spring even those teams have hope. To say any team is a shoe in or completely out of it for the future is just an opinion.

Wanna bet in a couple of years Tuna has a HORRIBLE Miami team back?

So I mean there are those on here who want to say all that stuff and its fine if thats what you like to do. It has no meaning me, its mostly trying to get a rise out of people, I would guess. Just realize its a very tenuous thing and appreciate this season or this era because there are alot of fans who sure can't.

I'll just say this in a general terms, there are only a handful of teams with players and management who have been able to stay sucessful in a system designed to make everyone 8-8 and those few teams are still 5-7 years away from having to think about not being competitive sans a terrible group of injuries and horrible drafts. So enjoy it now.

Only one team will be happy at the end of year, every year, but try to enjoy the trip a little more is all I'm saying.

That's hardly throwing anyone under a bus, and it's pretty factual.

You guys are just haters....

 

[5 Rings for Brady!!]

I always find it so ironic that Pats fans whine about calls in games, after benefitting from the tuck rule and literally dozens of other calls over the years...

That is because you are an idiot. You not only are not smart enough to understand that the tuck rule is a rule but you are also in denial about the obvious dependence your soft dome team has on the officials to help them win games.

Who cares what you find ironic? You are not smart enough to be worthy of an opinion at this forum.

I think everybody hates people like you that are out of touch with reality yet insist that you know something.

Anybody that brings up the tuck rule around here is simply an idiot who has completely and utterly run out of steam.

You have nothing but the tuck rule? Give me a f#cking break already.

Lay off the caffeine. You're team is undefeated; you're supposed to be happy, remember?

I am happy as hell and grateful about my team. :rocker:

What I am tired of is pinhead trolls that show up and they got nothing to say but 'tuck rule' as if it is somehow relevant that there is a tuck rule.

You got nothing, yet you still come around. That is the definition of a loser.

Precisely. BTW....hopefully in another 3-4 weeks we can be 1 ring closer to your screename

Perennial Gaggers and Whiners. That will be your teams legacy.

Ok here's football for you. What a loser. Brady would never throw his teammates under the bus. WHINER !

 

[Double G]

You guys should ease up alittle on the Colts fans, they're just frustrated as Hell, who can blame them. They thought after last year, the Colts had FINALLY turned the corner, they rolled into the playoffs at 13-3 (shoulda been 15-1, Adam misses a chip shot and they took the game off vs the Titans) and were looking forward to coming here and beating us.

Now the reality sinks in; it's the same old Payton (twice had the ball with a chance to win the game, first and goal at the ten and a goose egg; 7-7 in the playoffs), the Colts defense blew chucks vs a back up QB, RB and hobbled TE and they will not be coming here.

Sucks being them, it's called venting, let em vent I say, bottling all that anger up is a walking heart attack, so cut them some slack.................

God that is funny!

And Manning was wearing the same suit this year when he threw his entire team under the bus with his "the whole team played better" comment about the Chargers.

If they want to vent, then fine.

But if they want to come here and tell us something when they got nothing, not so fine....
