Rough season for my Colts.

-Every Colts fan knew our O-line would be a problem yet our GM never addressed it.
-Went through 3 QB's cause our pathetic O-line can't block
-Most embarrassing play of the year goes to the Colts for the Griff Whalen fake snap blunder.

I'm glad this horrific season is over.

Yeah, I think I thought they might go to the Super Bowl. Glad to see Houston though if it's not them. Think Bama will beat Clemson?

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Yeah a lot of people thought Gore and Andre would put them over the top. I was weary when all these so called experts predicted they'd go to the Super Bowl because we signed a few position players in their 30's. Grigson has completely neglected building the o-line . That's the first thing you're supposed to do after you draft a guy like Luck. I don't even want Chuck gone. I think Irsay is just firing him before Chuck quits anyway. Which is pretty slimy.

Clemson will be tough. I wish we saved some of this 38 from the MSU game for Clemson. But no reason to not be confident in this team.

There's a lot of Saban to the Colts rumours and for obvious reasons I don't want that to happen. As a Colts/Bama fan there is absolutely no upside to that lol. Bama gets worse and the Colts may get better but may also not. After reading the Saban book though, I'm not sure the guy is built to deal with some of the personalities in the NFL.

Oh and F the stupid Texans

You'd have to consider the Seahawks a dangerous playoff team, but for the fact that they have a "game-manager" for a quarterback.

Yeah, I DEFINITELY wouldn't want Saban to go to the Colts if I was you. I mean, look at college coaches who rely largely on recruiting and having more talent than 99% of the other teams, that have gone to the pros (Calipari, Pitino, Petrino, Saban, the list goes on). Some like Chip Kelly did a little better because he never originally got top talent at Oregon, that came later.

A lot of Suns fans want Calipari (not that he would ever leave his $8 million a year job where he always has top 3 in the country talen for whatever Sarver would pay him anyway) but I think some don't understand that it's a hell of a lot easier to coach when you have the most talent. I mean look at Luke Walton.

For college you first and foremost want recruiters.

The only college coaches I would ever go after for a pro team are those that have taken mid major teams to great places. Brad Stevens, for example...coaching whatever talent he had to two consecutive final fours is one example.

Urban Meyer might be the one name I would take who has superior talent, because he coached up Bowling Green, then at Utah he goes 10-2 in his first year, and undefeated in his second, being only mid major team at that time to have ever made a BCS bowl. And it's not like Florida has been a juggernaut after he won there. I think he is one guy who will REALLY coach up his talent.

Lets pour an ounce of 40 in memory of Dre Johnson, dude left the Texans to make the playoffs with Indy and Indy misses playoffs at the Texans expense.

Both the Chiefs and Steelers will be very dangerous playoff teams. I expect one of them to make the AFC Championship.

I like both KC & Pit to advance. The Steelers are a tough out. Would not be shocked if both Denver & NE lost.
