SAM_Hard8 50 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ah so much fun.I'm done with Caldwell. I know that all of the injuries and personnel problems aren't his fault but they are still good enough not to be 0-5. So many penalties, unprepared players and simple bad coaches decisions are killing the Colts.Sigh, what a game.FIRE CALDWELL! Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Sigh, what a game.FIRE CALDWELL! If Peyton was starting the Colts would be 4-3. but ya Caldwell isn't a good coach. 62 points allowed36 first downs allowed558 yards.Dare I say the Colts are done for a while?

GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 there is 80% chance the colts will go 0-16. but you will get Luck so it's not all bad. you also need a defense, a new head coach, a new offensive line, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like there are so many factors you would have include to give this it's fair shot. Obviously looking at their record and season statistics versus other teams makes it pretty easy to say hey they are going to be a dog in every game they play the rest of this season. But how do we assign that a percentage? What do you suppose they are looking at when determining this? While I think it is entirely possible for the Colts to not win a game this season, I actually think the likelihood of them going winless is pretty low. I think they will end up knocking someone off before season's end. Link to post Share on other sites

They play Jacksonville (twice), Carolina, and Tennessee. All of those teams are better than the Colts, but any one of them could easily be beaten. Baltimore and NE might as well already be chalked up as a loss. It wouldn't surprise me either way, but I think there chance of winning one of those games is better than 20% is all I'm saying.My god, we could really have an undefeated team and a winless team in the same season huh? What are the ODDS of that?! That's what I wanna know. Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It's hard to discuss things with you.I don't think so. "A decent amount of colts fans have been spotted wearing stanford luck jersey's." according to espn. the fans want luck more than the colts do. but the colts realize that their going to have the first pick on the draft, and they cannot pass on luck. im sorry i phrased it wrong but lets just say the colts wont mind having the #1 pick. and they could get a shit ton of picks if they wanted to trade the first pick.and ty for the link. and sorry im so stoned i have trouble typing a coherent sentence. its not a bad thing the colts will have the #1 pick, especially this season.

speedz99 145 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 fact is you're making the common, every-man assumption that effort is the most important part of sports. but you're wrong. talent is the most important thing in sports. the colts just suck. they're trying to win, they just cant.I know it's just in response to comments too far in the other direction, but I think you're underestimating how much a hopeless season will affect a team mentally. Fact of life: If you think you can't win, you won't play as hard. No, the players aren't going into games saying "I think I'll only try about 80%", but if you've ever played a sport you know that there is a mental component to performance.
