Like, if they're going to keep signing our free agents, let's make sure that more of our free agents were people that they drafted and put on the practice squad....<BR/><BR/>There's a nice symmetry to it, at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-5630652601450480142008-11-18T23:11:00.000-03:002008-11-18T23:11:00.000-03:00Oh hey, and with our schedule and the injuries we ...Oh hey, and with our schedule and the injuries we have had, 11-5 or even 12-4 (which might include a "semi-gift" game) is pretty damn impressive. Everybody is writing in a "W" for Tenn, but Fisher... ya never know with him.<BR/><BR/>And the Jags, ya never know with them, either. You can be pretty sure, and then they pull one out at the buzzer. I'm expecting to see Mike Pete eat Mad Jack's head on live TV in late December. The result would be a coach with no head (and no brain) and therefore only slightly smarter than Matt Millen.Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-55127551374155690662008-11-18T23:08:00.000-03:002008-11-18T23:08:00.000-03:00Okay, percentage-wise, how much worse is the 2008 ...Okay, percentage-wise, how much worse is the 2008 Colts team than the 2007 team? Say 15%-20% (if such a thing can be measured). Now how much better or worse is SD? I'd call them slightly worse than 07--a 5% dropoff. Now remove 6 picks, 3 KEY OL injuries, and 2 return TDs, shake, and serve. Try it, you'll like it. <BR/><BR/>Yes it will be a test, but I am pretty confident. I can see Rivers lighting us up without the "real" zombie and our interchangeable CB replacements (will Kelvin play?), but without 6 picks and 2 return TDs, plus no Merriman to pressure PM, I think we'll put up some holiday lights as well. <BR/>I agree with the mutual high-scoring game prediction--with the better coached team and the better clock managers winning. That's the Colts.Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-54709161393670464982008-11-18T22:27:00.000-03:002008-11-18T22:27:00.000-03:00I wondered if it was Graham or Hall getting the bo...I wondered if it was Graham or Hall getting the boot, but they aren't going to carry 5 TEs, it has to be Santi to IR.shake'n'bakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381489530841295597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-77013563212137420162008-11-18T21:52:00.000-03:002008-11-18T21:52:00.000-03:00I can't believe they lost that game.

This will be as big a challenge as the Steelers game. <BR/><BR/>I think the Colts will move the ball easier than they did against Pittsburgh, but the Chargers will move the ball with ease as well. I'm assuming the odds are greatly against another rainstorm game. Isn't it always 79 degrees and sunny in SD? I like the Colts in a 37 - 30 type of game.Demond Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321360642491061693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-43262062756222996432008-11-18T19:38:00.000-03:002008-11-18T19:38:00.000-03:00I think SD is more dangerous than anyone wants to ...I think SD is more dangerous than anyone wants to admit. They've lost a lot of close games, and will be desperate. That's not a situation I want to go into without Bob. Rivers may well eat the secondary alive if Hayden and Sanders aren't in. A lot of people think this is somehow a 'gimme'. I think it's easily the most difficult game left on the schedule. I don't feel good about it.Deshawn Zombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953118295688192978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-36496591710189788262008-11-18T19:34:00.000-03:002008-11-18T19:34:00.000-03:00Any opinions on whether the Colts beat SD without ...Any opinions on whether the Colts beat SD without Sanders?
