Let the Manning vs Luck debate begin! *Official NFL Week 7 Thread*

[IndyColtsFan]

I missed it, why didn't Decker catching that ball, then having enough control to extend it past the endzone plane not count as a TD?

You have to come down and maintain possession, which he did not. The refs made the correct call.

What happened... I went to bed with broncos in the lead because amd told me there was no way peyton would lose in his house.


And speaking on ridiculous stats, the Gronk was the target for almost 40% of the pass attempts in the game in his first foray onto the field with one functioning arm.

That Bil guy sure has been making good personnel decisions post pioli.

Great defensive game plan for the colts. They definitely stepped up. And a really masterful offensive performance by Luck as well.

It was interesting to see Peyton start picking apart the defense as the injuries kicked in though. Looks like the colts as a whole had just enough in the tank to keep the old man from taking over.

Bradford has a torn ACL ...

Hey Fisher, I hear that Vince Young guy is available!

 

[lupi]

Cushing broke the leg and probably tore a ligament.

Bradford lost the ACL and may be done in St Louis.

 

[Anubis]

honestly its like people have gotten too strong and too big to play football now, every other day someone is pretty much killed on the field and out for the season/life

its nothing new

What is new is the amount of coverage. No more watch it on Sunday or miss it. Now we have a whole network dedicated to football, countless apps and websites, email and text alerts and forums like this and thousands of others.

I do think that the NFL hampering defensive players has had the opposite affect of what they wanted. Now the receivers and runners act like they are invincible. Why would a 5'9", 175 pound receiver lower his head when running full speed at 2 huge linebackers? Because he knows he feels like he is protected. Armendola was a perfect example of that.

The defense is not going to hit softer. If anything, they are going to hit harder to make up for not being able to hit where they normally would. Couple that with these receivers acting like they have a protective bubble and there is going to be players hurt badly.

Wow, Denver fans have sure given up on their team in a hurry.
Seriously, there were Giants fans who more optimistic when they were 0-5.

Teams have bad days, qb's have bad days, defenses have bad days.

Get over it.

Some good games yesterday. Steelers/Raven, Pats/Jets and Colts/Broncos all went down to the wire.

Denver really shot themselves in the foot with some of those late game penalties. Or at least that Vickerson/Wickerson guy did lol, until they closed the gap the team seemed frustrated and highstrung in the second half.

If the Colts keep beating all the "good" teams where does that leave them then?

Oh god, you should see the Miami fan sites right now. People are jumping off buildings, drinking rat poison and/or hanging themselves right now.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Heard Wayne tore his ACL. If true, huge loss for the Colts.

 

[cronos]

anyone heard anything on Finley?

Apparently they brought him straight to the ICU

If you think Roger Goodell has already gone too far in trying to make the game safer, well, that's nothing compared to what's going to happen if a player dies on his watch.

p.s. I'm not saying Finley is in that kind of trouble. I haven't heard anything just like the rest of us.

shit

Bradford has a torn ACL ...

Hey Fisher, I hear that Vince Young guy is available!

and the sad part is Fisher could probably win with him ha

 

[Imported]

shit

They said he'd be all right, but that isn't saying he is all good right now..

 

[MetalMat]

And yet again another sub par performance by Trent Richardson. Eventually Colts fans are going to run out of excuses and just have to admit that he is not good.

 

[Jeffg010]

Steelers/Raven game just shows how over rated Joe Flacco is.

 

[SunnyD]

ACL's keep poppin', but the NFL doesn't give a shit. Go figure.

I don't know what his issue is to be honest. I do know that losing Bradshaw for the reason is really hurting our running game.

I heard Roger Goodell will fine Ndamukong Suh for each ACL injury so its all good.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Saw that the Rams may be talking to Tebow.

Achilles too

Colts play anything like they did last night and they will be going down quite easily. Broncos played their worst game this week too and won by 16 points. Jax may be a bad team but they created the most hits on Manning all year and gave him the most fits in the secondary. They clearly had a good defensive game plan.

Knowshon Moreno will have 200 yards on the ground and 3 TDs

Von Miller with 3 sacks on Luck
