damnit.
Sports Illustrated is pretty fucking stupid...I agree with Findog, Minnesota isn't winning 13 games. Tarvaris Jackson will have a better year but he's not going to have a Romo type impact. And if AP gets hurt and misses some games they won't win more than 9 games.

Jags and Vikes. Good QB play from both squads, that could happen. I strongly doubt it but a good orginal pick.

Taveras Jackson is a worthless piece of shit. Running qb's with shitty throwing skills dont last long at all. Even before his dog trial, Vick was a running qb with shit for passing. Vikes have a great run game and a kick ass D but they have pure shit at qb.

I'm not exactly sure of the Vikes cap situation, but they should have pushed harder for someone like Pennington. His play-action ability in that offense coupled with the game management skills he possesses would've been a perfect fit.
As it stands now, Vikes will be a playoff team who goes out early once TJ needs to make plays.

This year is prob the first year that Indy should be favored over NE no matter what if they are both healthy. NE's defense is old as fuck and they don't have a shutdown corner anymore. Manning is gonna drop 6 TDs on them in Week 9 you heard it here first.

Jackson has some ability. he isnt that bad. he definitley isnt any worse than Quincy Carter, but he actually has more brains, and Quincy was capable of leading a very mediocre cowboys team to the playoffs and a suprizing 10-6 record.

they never did. Samuel was a good ballhawker, but got beat WAY too often to be considered a shutdown corner, and benefited greatly from the Patriots great defensive system.

I think the Vikings disappoint this year and Peterson returns to earth a bit. Maybe even an injury since he's due for another one.
No way they win 13 games with a lack of passing ability. This isn't 1945.

Some experts MIGHT pick Indy in the reg season over them, but the patriots are always the "safe pick" in the playoffs.

Our D-line is easily one of the best in the league. If they do their job and pressure, the secondary will be fine. Billichick can put literally anyone in that secondary and they can look amazing. Every year the Pats find new ways to shock people and not fall apart. This year will be no different. And Manning will be lucky to drop 2 td's on our D. I see him throwing 2 picks and getting sacked about 4 times.:toast

:lmao are you fucking kidding me? Up until last year the media had their fucking gag reflex working on Peyton's cock. Every year was always the Colts' year. And every year they got curbstomped by the Pats, there was an excuse (i.e. "waaaah the Patriots DB's get away with too much contact :cry").
The Colts been favored by the media just about every damn time against NE since 2003.

You have a lot of faith in the Colts this year...the more time goes by, the more doubt I'm starting to have.
Have you seen that injury list? I know Dungy is probably being really cautious with several players, but still. And now Saturday goes down? Not good. :depressed

Difference is that Dilfer was a veteran who might not beat you with his arm like a marquee QB, but he certainly wasn't going to get beat by fucking up and making mistakes. Perfect example of what people mean by "game-manager QB" that is not actually an insult.

The Colts are one of the youngest and deepest teams in the NFL, especially on defense. Saturday's probably out for half the season but if Pollack's rookie year is as good as Ugoh's rookie year last year then he should be able to fill in for Saturday just fine.
Saturday is the biggest injury on the Colts right now. Manning, Harrison, Sanders and Freeney are healthy and those are the top two players we have on both sides of the ball. People are making a little too much out of the Saturday injury if you ask me... yeah I mean I know he's like the best center in the NFL and everything but the Colts offensive line was shuffled more than a Vegas blackjack deck last season and that really didn't seem to matter (it was the injuries on the defensive line that killed us).
Harrison, Wayne and Gonzalez are all going to have 1,000 yard seasons.

Not with Bellichick at the helm. Each and every year people think the Pats D will fall apart and just suck yet it hasnt happened. A secondary is nothing if the d-line cant pressure the qb. Seymour/Wilfork/Warren do a hell of a job pressuring. Plus drafing well and finding gems in camp etc make me even less worried.

This Colts/Patriots discussion is pretty pointless because it is obvious the Colts can not beat the Chargers anymore, no matter where the game is played.

they had to dumb down the offense because Dilfer sucked. i think that the "game-manager" stuff is just a way of saying the offense was dumbed down, either because the QB sucks, or because of the lack of weapons/protection. The latter certainly was not the problem, so it leaves us with... the QB sucked.
