The Official Colts 0-16 Thread

[55]

Eleven down, five to go.

I guess Carolina didn't want to be the team to lose to the Colts. Bad teams always play their best against other bad teams.

Anyways, one of their best chances is down the drain.

I still think Jacksonville is going to be the team to give Indy their first and only win this year.

Whoever-led now Texans will be the Colts win.

If I remember right from an article i read, there are 2 guys in the Colts that were part of the 0-16 Lions?

Question Colts fans:
Lets say hypothetically say Manning comes back for the last 4 games and gets you guys 2-4 wins and eliminates you from the Luck Sweepstakes but says he is going to retire at the end of this contract at the latest, possibly in 3 years. Would you be mad?

2 wins is not enough to get out of the Luck Sweepstakes, the Rams will more than likely win another game.

Yes. What does the NFL say when a franchise player is traded for a younger player, or future picks? "It's just business." I have stated before that Manning's time has come and gone, and he was only going to get us so far from this point forward. I have seen sooo many people say, "look, without him the Colts are horrible", but I see a guy in there that wouldn't even be a third string QB anywhere else (Painter). We never needed a real backup, but as we can see, when a guy is always there and no one else is needed, and then some scrub is thrust into the starting role, then you get a team without continuity. I believe Manning is finished, and will announce his retirement at the end of the season. Is it sad? Yes. But is it business, You betcha.

But who better to learn from then Manning. Barkley, Luck, Moore.....ect, it will be better than Painter or Orlovsky.

Well I wouldn't count on it, Rams only winnable games are @ SEA and @ SF if they rest their starters.
Vikings, the other 2 win team, also only have 2 winnable games with vs Denver and @ WAS.
Besides I said winning 2 to 4...

Agreed, I think if yall even had freaking Matt Moore and he got to learn the playbook yall could have had at least a win or 2.
