Manning to Collie

[nbakerld]

Man, I'm loving this. Peyton is my favorite Vol of all time. The Colts are my favorite team, and I went to BYU. 3 TD connections in the last 2 games. Manning is on fire. Do you guys think the Colts are built for a title?

Note : apologies to Titans fans. Bright side = maybe you can get Eric Berry in the draft.

That would be the only good thing about this downfall

Exactly, now its not "How far will we go in the playoffs" but "wonder who our Top 5 draft pick will be?"

Manning on fire in 09! First it was he lost Marshall and they wouldn't be the same. Then they lost their Edge and they wouldn't be the same. Then his knee was bad and they wouldn't be the same. Now we hear Harrison is gone along with the coach and all this new talent at receiver. They will not be the same. NOT! It's time for the nay sayers in the NFL to admit. As long as you have Manning you will win.
Last season when Brady went down I expected the Pats to suck. They played well without him. Should have gone to the playoffs. That proved to me that Brady was not the superhero I thought he was. He is great but they have enough talent to put a backup in and still win. Try that in Indy.
Next weekend is going to suck! No Vols or Colts playing.

I'm considering a avatar change at the moment. I'm about done with Jeff Fisher and his affection for field goals. They need a QB and a good defensive tackle and they have neither at the moment.

Good weekend to spend in a deer stand.

I usually pull for the Titans unless the Panthers or Colts are involved and am a big fan of Fisher.

Did you catch Bo Scaife during the player intros? When he announce his school he said "the real UT".

I thought that was a little odd playing in Nashville.

[JoshTheVol12]

I heard him say that, and then heard someone else say "from Florida State of the 90s" or whatever and just laughed.

Yeah, I had forgotten the arrogance of Texans. I had a Texan roommate in Nashville and every time someone said that they went to UT, he'd freak out and say, "There's only 1 UT."

First, you live in Tennessee, moron.
Second, the real UT was founded when Texas was Mexico.

I totally agree, everyone always said, "anybody can put up those numbers with those players." Edgerrin James, Dominic Rhodes, Brandon Stokely, Marcus Pollard, Ken Dilger, and Jerome Pathon all had their best years with the Colts. They got big money, and went elsewhere and didn't have the same success.

Tom Brady's team goes 11-5 without him, with a QB who hadn't started since HS. That same QB is now 0-5 with another team.

This is why I take Peyton Manning over Tom Brady.

Side note, Peyton Manning has never thrown a pick in the 2-minute drill with a chance to win or tie. Tom Brady has done it 3 times (twice in the playoffs). I find it funny that one is considered a choker and the other clutch.

I was afraid this thread was about another "Air Bud" movie for a moment.

JC will be available... but they may want to select him early in the draft so he doesn't end up elsewhere.

I'm sure Fisher will get right on that.

I love the way that Manning absolutely refuses not to score at the end of a half. It doesn't matter if you leave him 20 seconds, his goal is to drive the length of the field for a TD. The guy is money !

[nbakerld]

I just can't believe the stats he's putting up. He's got a dinged up line, Reggie Wayne (did you guys know he was the 6th WR taken in his draft class?), Dallas Clark (do you think any team could get this much out of a "tweener"?), Pierre Garcon (6th round pick last year), and Austin Collie (4th round rookie).
