Don't really see too much of the Colts on T.V. around here. Maybe a Monday nighter here and there if I remember to turn it on. But caught the game today as it was on the local Sunday afternoon telecast. How were the Colts 9-0 going in? It's hard to believe they were 9-0 by luck. Also, how did they lose to a pretty freaking average Dallas team that has trouble getting out of it's own way most of the time?

Was this just a bad game or were they due to lose? The local media here had the Colts already winning the Superbowl this year and next. I suspect it was just an off game, but after the game now all the media folks were talking a whole different story about points scored and against and shit like that. WTF? What's the real scoop with this team? AP am now intrigued.

They really haven't played any good teams... Patriots would have beaten them if Brady hadn't had such a shitty day. That squibble kick right before half time was humorous. Too bad vanderjact still blows.

I have a mancrush on Romo. :blush:

Same as the last few years, a very talented team with a great quarterback and a defense based on getting to the quarterback who comically pull a massive dicktuck once it gets cold out.

I love how people constantly hate on the Colts, 100% of fans would love to have there team be as talented as the Colts.

With that said the Colts made a couple poor off-season moves on defense that have cost them. Namely not re-signing Mike Peterson (sp?) who is an absolute stud for the Jags at LB, Cato June is a great cover LB but not a run stopper and the colts really lack a big physical LB. The Colts also offered up a huge contract to Corey Simon who has been an absolute flop. With Bob Sanders out it takes so much away from the defense I never realized it. If you look at the one game he played this year (against New England) it looked like a whole different defense on the field because he is everywhere making plays including in the run game.

Once the colts get Sanders back in the secondary and come playoff time I don't think they'll pull a "dicktuck" this year. I still put them as the favorite to win the SB.

I, too, am not sure what is with the Colts. In their 9 wins, the avg. victory margin was less than 7 points. The line on the game was a pick em against Dallas. It all seems bizarre to me.

Dallas was favored to win - slightly.

Beebs · 11-20-2006, 04:39 PM

There's not one universal line, alot had the colts favored either 3 or 7.

DJ FC · 11-20-2006, 04:58 PM

I'm talking about the Tradesports line, which is variable and arguably more accurate.

Beebs · 11-20-2006, 06:18 PM

All lines change, so saying so and so was favored by x is totally dependent on time and choice of line.

DJ FC · 11-20-2006, 08:11 PM

Tradesports line immediately before kickoff... sorry.

9-1 > everyone else

(The bears don't count because they play in the NFL's B league, the NFC)

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
