I'm just saying - you act like these first round picks are the only reason why the Colts kept winning, but they're not. They made it into the playoffs last year with 14 people on IR for %%$$% sake.
Spoiler [+]2007-
Colts (13-3) - Patriots (16-0)
Jags (11-5) - Bills (7-9)
Titans (10-6) - Jets (4-12)
Texans (8-- Dolphins (1-15)
--------------------------------
42 combined wins, all teams .500 or better compared to 28 combined wins... yeeeeeeah....
2008-
Titans (13-3) - Dolphins (11-5)
Colts (12-4) - Patriots (11-5)
Texans (8-- Jets (9-7)
Jags (5-11) - Bills (7-9)
------------------------------
38 wins, 38 wins.
2009-
Colts (14-2) - Pats (10-6)
Texans (9-7) - Jets (9-7)
Titans (8-- Dolphins (7-9)
Jags (7-9) - Bills (6-10)
--------------------------
38 wins, 32 wins.
2010-
Colts (10-6) - Pats (14-2)
Jags (8-- Jets (11-5)
Texans (6-10) - Dolphins (7-9)
Titans (6-10) - Bills (4-12)
-------------------------------
30 wins, 36 wins!
148 wins in the the AFC South since 2007, 134 wins in the AFC East. Don't act like the AFC East is some powerhouse simply because Buffalo figured out how to play football this season, and the Jets started winning games two years ago...
And CP, what I was saying about Woodhead and Welker is that Bill knows which guys to target in free agency. Instead of spending boatloads of cash on guys, he targets the players that he knows will fit the system. Which, in my opinion, is one the of things that makes him so great.
And Rodgers, @#$% that guy don't even need first round players, he makes all their picks look like first rounders anyways.Off topic, but Ted Thompson needs some damn love as a GM, dude is brilliant.
TT for President.White Wizard.
For real though, the man does everything this way. Mark Murphy brought him in not giving a @#@! if he was gonna be one of those guys that could be on TV giving soundbites about the team. Ted gets the job done and I stopped second guessing dudes WR/TE picks a LOOOOONG time ago. Every WR on the team besides Driver is a TT guy.
Sometimes I wish he'd keep certain guys (Cullen Jenkin, Corey Williams...) from leaving in FA but it is what it is. Coach em up Dom and Mike.
Dont get me wrong, I have loved what I have seen out of Alex this year (and I have always been one of his biggest critics). But it is still early. Alex has played very well in 1.5 out of our 5 games. The rest of the time, he played average, game manager type quarterback.

This. I would have liked to see what we would be like if we had gotten Desean Jackson instead of Jordy but every game I watch Jordy I think more and more that he actually was the better pick. I just dont see Jackson being as productive as he is with the Eagles in the Packers offense as Jordy. Obviously we know why TT really didnt pick Desean though..
On the radio in Milwaukee they were talking to Jordy and they asked him if he's ever been caught from behind. He said never in his life
I said these exact words last night and all the Bears fans blasted me saying I didnt know what I was talking about

Does anyone think Colt is going to progress into Cleveland's franchise guy? It seems like the magice surrounded him has worn off. The rest of this season will go a long way in the Browns finding out, I think.
Colt can play, but he's now in a West Coast offense which requires a lot of skill, timing, & discipline. It also requires very smart football players. For instance WRs have to run precise timed routes & be at specific points to catch the ball. I'm not sure Cleveland has the playmakers to run this to it's fullest potential yet.
I think Lovie is going to be the fall guy for the Bears (which is a shame), but really Jerry Angelo needs to be fired ASAP. I wouldn't even let him manage a lemonade stand...
I watched almost all of yesterdays game and caught a few of their other games this year... I don't think you can blame the OL... Hes just slumping really badly. Bad decisions, bad throws.Originally Posted by CP1708
Phil Rivers is killin me man.I've always liked this guy and for some reason he is flat out OFF this year. I don't know if it was the lockout or o-line or what his deal is, but he is not the guy I watched last year or before.
He's been a joke so far. Its amazing our record is what it is. I feel lucky that our competition is Oakland, otherwise I would feel like we are in trouble.Originally Posted by fraij da 5 11

It took me a long time to get on the Rivers wagon and right when I do he *#%$+@! tanks.
