Voice_of_Reason Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I don't buy the tank. Players aren't going to lose games on purpose because nobody wants to be associated with 3-13, and if you tank for a draft pick there is no guarantee you'll have a job the next year with that team anyway. Now GM/Coaches might make the decision to play young guys("evaluation purposes" as Shanahan would say)but ultimately come Sundays you're still doing everything in your power to win. I mean its not like they were punting on 1st down and doing all out punt block blitzes on defense. I certainly don't think Calldwell was in on any tank, because his ass got fired after that season. I can't imagine that he was like, "Yeah, ok, I'll tank the season, you can pick Luck and then fire me. Sounds like a great plan!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 40 year old Matt Hasselbeck: 2-0, both wins against division opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan1523 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Their division maybe the worst in NFL history. Correct me if I'm wrong older members, but this division has been booty for a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 So, Indy can win with some old backup QB when not having to suck for Luck. http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=400791487 And, as noted above, the division sucks again this year and has sucked for years, including the 2011 suck for Luck. Indy - 2 wins Jacks - 5 wins Ten - 9 wins Hous - 10 wins http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2011/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho fan Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Anyone else ever listen to Colin Cowherd? I know he doesn't have a lot of fans around here (and rightfully so) but I listen on occasion and it typically is a love fest for Luck. It is constantly talk about how Luck is asked to do so much and how there is no talent surrounding Luck. Talk about how bad Pagano is as a coach. How ironic that a sick old Hassleback can go in and get two wins with that same team. Of course Cowherd won't even discuss these wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gortiz Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 didn't see game last night ... how bad was he? Gosh, I can't belive his down fall. I mean, in this day in age, in a QB/Offense friendly NFL, how could he have such a steep drop from being so good last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Seriously, give it up for Luck. How many other QBs can have 1 win through week 8 and be in first place in their division? Sure, it helps having your backup go 2-0 against division rivals in 2 straight weeks to give you the tiebreakers, but come on. 1-5 through week 8 and a division lead? Only Luck. Elite.

justice98 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think he's clearly not right in some kind of non-visible way. I can believe this reported rib injury is real, but he's making horrible decisions which can't be explained by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 His accuracy has been awful this season. Is he injured? Is he just having a bad year? Even great QB's go through bad stretches. He does lead the NFL in INTs with 12, though somehow he has a positive TD/INT ratio (barely), at 13 TDs to 12 INT's. I'm not going to write him off, but he's definitely playing much worse than the previous 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Luck now out 2-6 weeks with an abdominal tear and lacerated kidney. That fricking sucks and it must hurt like hell. The Colts should put him on IR and let Hasselbeck play the rest of the season. Afterall, a 5-11 record can win the AFC South. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2015/11/10/colts-qb-andrew-luck-out-2-6-weeks/75527140/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm1369 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 All it takes is the coach playing the right (wrong) players. You can't tell me you're legitimately trying to win when you start Dan Orlovsky and Curtis Painter at QB despite knowing all offseason you won't have Peyton, and make no attempt to get even a journeyman starter who could win 4-5 games. Yes, I know it was Orlovsky that eventually got them their 2 wins. Sounds good. It's nearly completely wrong. But it sounds good. 1: the colts didn't know all offseason Peyton was going to miss the season - everyone including Peyton expected him to be ready for training camp. It was the delays in his recovery that led to missing the season, not the initial surgery and diagnoses. 2: the colts did sign a veteran journeyman once it was known Peyton wouldn't start the season (he was still expected back) - they signed Kerry Collins to an $8m deal who then got hurt very early in the season, leading to painter getting the start. They eventually switched to Orlovsky. 3: do you realize the coach was fired? The one you insinuated purposely played the wrong players in an effort to tank? Not sure what his motivation to tank was. Gm and his son was fired too. Maybe they were the ones directing the tanking? Again, not sure what they got out of it though. 4: the team completely cleaned house with players too and switched from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. Not sure why you do that when you are secretly good. but it should be easy to name some good players the Colts released considering they were so good and they nearly turned the roster completely over. Please give it a try, I'd love to hear the list. It amazes me that people can't understand what happened to the colts. It's really pretty simple. Hell look at the drop off in the skins from RGIIIs rookie year compared to his second year and tell me how important QB play is. Especially to a team that is mediocre at best. The Colts were at that point a mediocre team with HOF QB play. When that was replaced with below average QB play the other flaws became very evident. Eventually picking at the bottom of the 1st round takes its toll. There were other factors as well - the nepotism in the organization and the eroding of the coaching staff, but not having HOF QB play was the biggest factor. But whatever, believe what you want. At least try to get some of the actual facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
