You gotta change your attitude if your a fan of this team.
It has become blatantly obvious that the media at this point has little to say about Indianapolis that isn't negative or at times flat out disrespectful. Somehow Indianapolis went from being the "big brother" of the division to the red headed step child in the nation's eyes, despite maintaining a relatively successful record in relation to the rest of the league. After Deflate Gate things really went downhill for this franchise. I gotta hope Ballard can change that. I rarely hear anything positive about Indianapolis, despite the fact I really don't believe Houston, Tennessee, or Jacksonville are really that much better than the Colts. |

I like Kornheiser and Wilbon together. ESPN also shows live games sometimes.

The criticism of Luck is pretty unfair. I saw something on ESPN yesterday where they were criticizing him for throwing too many INTs. Thing is, he doesn't really throw a lot of them!
Luck's first 5 years: 18, 9, 16, 12,13 Years 1, 3 and 4 (12 ints in limited play) were problematic, but year 1 is forgivable, and year 4 was a fucked up season. But consider some of the numbers from those considered all time greats: P. Manning: 28, 15, 15, 23, 19 (I mean wow, that's terrible!) D. Marino: 6*, 17, 21, 23, 13, 23 (*first year was not a full season, so I included a 6th year) J. Elway: 14, 15, 23, 13, 12 (overall comparable to Luck's numbers) J. Montana: 9, 12, 11, 12, 10 (now those are some good numbers, but that west coast scheme was revolutionary back then) T. Brady: 12, 14, 12, 14, 14 (and this is from a guy generally reputed to be safe with the ball, and was playing in a more conservative system in his first few years) B. Favre: 13, 24, 14, 13, 13 (and who went on to have several more 20+ INT seasons later in his career) So there's literally nothing unusually high about Luck's INT numbers. I didn't even bother factoring in things like TDs and attempts, so that the numbers could be seen more as an INT rate instead of raw numbers, but given how much we throw the ball, Luck's INT rate is surely low compared to these others QBs. |

Two articles on NFL.com today:
First one ranks the top 15 offenses in the league....Colts are not even in the list other than at the end as an "honorable mention." Second article listed the 2016 division winners in reverse order of whom is most "safe" to repeat and who is most vulnerable to getting beat out in 2017. HOU was listed as most vulnerable but TEN was identified as the team to do so with no mention of the Colts. Keep swimming under the radar. Just keep swimming, swimming..... Cheers,

What I don't have is any sense whatsoever of persecution... What evidence does the press have to put the colts into the top half of the league, or that we will win our division? I see none... I see a team with massive holes, poor coaching and an culture that things saying "we have to get better" is ok. As soon as they can PROVE otherwise by example, then I will feel like my team is being persecuted / underrated. |
