How sweet is it that the Colts just keep winning!

But for every other team how much does it suck that the Colts just went from nearly 15 years of Peyton Manning, stunk to high hell for one year and now have Andrew Luck?!?!

Kinda like David Robinson getting injured for a year and the Spurs ending up with Tim Duncan as well.

Has there been any other situations where the worst thing possible happened to a good team and it basically ended up making them better?

 

[Dgodus]

Oh heck no, not only was it just the Lions they beat, but they've had a pretty easy schedule all around.

But really the colts did pretty much luck into Luck who, so far, is living up to potentially being a franchise qb and the colts are winning against teams that good teams are supposed to beat (how's Stafford, Newton, Bradford doing? Yea Newton and Bradford have little around them, but Stafford has talent around him).

Having a talented qb can make team building much easier in football and it appears the Colts have gone from a future HOF'er straight to another talented qb, and it happened because their best player in a very important position for their team (that future HOF'er) ended up missing a year (which is normally a catastrophic event).

I think it approachs what happened to the Spurs, but it's not right up to the level of ending up with two big men the quality of Robinson and Duncan.

Remarkable achievement indeed for this NFL season's " Comeback Kids ". :clap2:

Coach Bruce Arians = NFL Coach of the Year :thumb:

Exciting playoffs indeed with the addition of the Colts, Seahawks, and Bengals. :nod:

Its a nice story agree.

As opposed to dysfunctional teams like the Jets, the Eagles, the Cowboys.
What a head case the Jets.

Yep I have to agree.

I'm not a fan of the Redskins but kudos to their management for having the balls to give up 4 #1's for the exciting RG III. A good season for them as well. Plus, attendance is up and Redskins merchandise sales is up more than 250% this season. Not to mention that RG III now has the best selling NFL jersey. Good for them. :thumb:

Adrian Peterson anyone? I mean everyone knew he was great. But this? Could you really have predicted what he did this year? I hope somebody sent him a QB for xmas.

When I started watching the nfl, It was before even OJ.
You know, I like A.P. But he isn't that good. I think it is more the sign of the times.
OJ was a fluid runner, he made it look so easy, you can say what you want to about him and Nicole but dam he was pretty much one of the best. Barry Sanders, I would put number one. Then I would say pick who you like, based on their style. OJ or sweetness, Walter, its hard to knock Walter Peyton Tony Dorrset.
Peyton was probably the toughest guy around, O J the smoothest. Tony fuck his feet it was like watching a strobe light.
AP isn 't in that group, He just has the blocking that is all. Dam he is tough but he is got a hell of a lot of good blocking in front of him.
Barry Sanders doesn't have the stats, but he walked away in his prime.
So did Jim brown by the way, and I never watched him long enough to have an opinion.

Shaun alexander's record td season was a product of a good line and good blocking. AP has like 1900 yards this season and roughly half those yards have been gained after the first hit on him. Not really the product of just good blocking.

 

[sevenofnine]

Disagree.

I think one stat that might reflect a running backs greatness is yards per carry.

And well AP is up there he is just average in an elite group.
He is good don't get me wrong, but over rated over regarded by his big come back after knee surgery and well playing on a team that doesn't have a lot else going for it.

Jim Brown the leader in yards per carry,
Hard to dispute he is the best ever,
But his record of yards per carry has been smashed, not by AP
but by Jamaal Charles

Like I said watching AP there are tougher running backs. More elusive running backs more gifted then him.
But he is pretty dam good just over rated because of all the hype around him.

 

[Big Dog Striker]

Its like saying that James Harden will never be in the same league as a Bird or a Magic Johnson.

Only time will tell........

AP has only played for a few years. For me, he is the best RB in the NFL as of present time though. :nod:

 

[sevenofnine]

There was a lot of hype around one Mr. Tebow to.

Look it, the hype is there because he is closing in on the single season rushing record.
Like who the hell is Eric Dickerson. Maybe just an honerable mention in the list of great running backs.
Like A P
An honerable mention. He is not that good when it comes down to it. He runs funny, not elusive not tough nothing really outstanding about him.
Watch him and Walter and sorry but he doesn't even come close.

Emmitt Smith leading all time rusher, so what, he is only there because Barry Sanders walked away.
Your lost in on all the hype around him, the fact that he could get the record.
Stats are for loosers and people who don't know any better.

 

[Dgodus]

Agree with most other than the Ponder being the biggest punchline when Brandon Weeden is playing NFL football.

 

[Big Dog Striker]

The Colts beat Houston as welcome back gift for Chuckstrong. Its gonna be one hell of a NFL Playoff indeed. :nod:

Kudos to the Redskins for a great turnaround year as well. Winning the NFC East and making it to the playoffs. :thumb:

Looking forward to seeing one of the " smartest brains " in College Football, Oregon's Chip Kelly, coach in the NFL next season. Even the Patriots uses elements of his offense in theirs. Hopefully, Chip Kelly coaches my favorite team next year.
