A Few Things We've Learned About The NFL.

[RobBase]

Well Luck isn't named Stafford, so the INTS that lost that particular game are perfectly acceptable. Obviously.

Excuses for other teams losses are the only ones that are ok around here. But the same mitigating factors don't apply to our own team, interestingly enough. The Colts lost because of mistakes "x" "y" and "z", and that's ok, but when the Lions lose its always and only because they suck.

Quite the double-standard, really...

The Colts and Andrew Luck have two straight division titles and played in the AFC Championship last year.

How many does Stafford have?

But he's got the right name on the back of his jersey, so all that stuff is ok...

Yeah I know. Everyone pretty much loves Luck. Whatever he does is somehow acceptable.

You sure like to dwell on the past.

How many wins do those mighty Colts have this year, again? I believe it is the exact same number of sacks Suh has...

I knew this was coming. Lol

 

[lionstop1]

Colts have a damn good coach though.

Colts and Lions are not treated the same because they are on opposite sides of the NFL spectrum. Andrew Luck is >>>>>Stafford, even you can admit that.

You care so deeply about the Lions image. Why?

I don't remember mentioning Stafford in any of my posts.

You guys have fun with this thread, I was hoping it could just be a football discussion, without an agenda. Little too optimistic on my part.

Their GM has inexplicably ignored the Oline on draft day for years now. It's causing quite a rift between HC and GM.

incorrect...

Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts All-Time Draft History | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Mewhort a 2nd rounder in 2014. they didn't have a 1st rounder due to the Trent Richardson debacle.

and the Colts were one of those 0-2 teams to start out last year to make not only the playoffs, but as you've stated, they made the AFCCG last year.

not that I believe the Lions will have any such luck but maybe they might

Yeah I know. Everyone pretty much loves Luck. Whatever he does is somehow acceptable.

Do you mean media? B/c many fans, many many fans realize what a turnover machine he is. I think Luck has great tools, and it appears he has the same ability to make any receiver a good receiver. But his ability to turn the ball over too many times may prove costly down the road. Many owners would still take him as their franchise QB given the chance.

Oline issues. So bad it's creating friction between HC and GM. HC basically said Luck has played behind a shit line for 3 years now without any help from the GM.

I like him but the media does make me feel different about him because they act like he's the best qb ever.

 

[broncosmitty]

I didn't think he could ever live up to the hype coming out of college. But he pretty much has.

Dont really notice the hype now tbh. Did then. But maybe I'm just not paying attention. Do you get local coverage on the Colts down there Yao?


Guys a winner, 11-5 three years running has sold me there. Colts will cruise to that division title one way or the other.

Chip Kelly's plan is failing miserably at this point. What next?

College. Texas or USC.

How many does Stafford have?

Stafford is 0-20 on the road against teams with winning records.
Stafford is 3-34 against teams with winning records overall.

Case Closed!

Case back open. Stafford has played better in the playoffs than Luck. This is why that winning teams stat is stupid. It's a team sport.

Colts will still win that division.

It's on the Texans this year 1st.
'14 Colts(Jags) - '13 Colts -'12 Titans - '11 Texans
'10 Colts(Jags) - '09 Colts - '08 Titans - '07 Colts(Texans)
'06 Colts(Jags) - '05 Colts - '04 Colts(Titans) - '03 Colts(Texans)


What your looking at is Division winner in that year and who should've won
Jags are Black
Colts are Red
Titans are Green
Texans are Blue

 

[LionsWhyMe]

If the Pattern sticks this is what I thing the NFC North looks like...

'14 Packers(Bears) .. '13 Packers(Lions) .. '12 Packers(Vikings) .. '11 Packers
'10 Bears ............... '09 Vikings(Lions) ... '08 Vikings ............. '07 Packers
'06 Bears ............... '05 Bears(lions) ...... '04 Packers(Vikings) .. '03 Packers

Not sure if you're trying to channel Mr. Natural or secretly calling for Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow coalition. If nothing else, those are some of the more colorful posts this board has gotten in a while.
