Peyton Manning
 

I've never seen a football team where losing a single player has made such a huge difference.

That team had won 7 of the last 9 division titles ... and without Peyton Manning -- they look like a 2-14 team. Freaking Cleveland pissed on them in their dome opener -- and the Texans had them down 34-0 at the half.

The Pats at least went 11-5 without Brady for an entire season. It will take a miracle for this team to get to 5-11.

They need Sham....he's also 0-2.

He runs the offense. Lost a couple key coaches as well. Did you know Peyton went overseas to have stem cell work done? Wow.

I think you are forgetting that they had Matt Cassel and he was a more than adequate replacement.

Colts have a retired old guy, and a Chad Painter who is more equipped to hold a clipboard than run an offense

Matt Cassell couldn't get on the field in college and had no prior NFL expierence. He sucks dick.

I'll be pissed if they do win 5 games. They need to draft high enough to get a decent collage QB. Luck would be nice. The un-official slogan for this season is "Suck for Luck".

You do know that he was a top 5 QB last season? :rolleyes:

I'm not sure how bad Matt Cassel is, but based on the first half of Sunday's tilt versus the Lions, Todd Haley and his staff have absolutely zero confidence in him whatsoever.

I appreciate you not quoting him in your response.

Not to take anything away from Brady who is great. But that is the ultimate system in place in NE. Anytime someone gets hurt the Pats are able to just plug someone else in and they barely skip a beat. It's really impressive actually.

The Colts are built to play with the lead on defense. They are small and fast to get after the passer and create turnovers once they get the lead. Their offensive line is built to pass block and get rid of the ball quickly. They havent been able to consistently run the ball in a few years When they haven't gotten the lead in the past they were always in trouble. They are in for a very long year, once they are 2-6 I doubt you will see Payton till next year.

I see him ranked 16th in 2010 -- one spot ahead of Eli Manning (in his INT tour de force year) and Shuan Hill.

Very Very Very, unofficial DT rankings. (According to one portly ex-poster)

:rolleyes:

I still get his wisdom from other places.

He stopped the Raiders last week ....

Lol

Sadly I miss the entertainment part of his picks and football opinions.

I don't know which is worse, Vick at #2 or Cassel at #5.

Plenty of comedy gold in most of last years football threads.

The Colts are double digit dogs at home in a Sunday Night game

Yeah, but at least they are playing a real team. Last week had to be rock bottom, being 2 point home dogs against the Browns.

he had to be joking. had to be

This team is seriously bad.

62-7?
