Official NFL Thread

indyfan · 12-08-2008, 10:47 AM

We used to discuss NFL at Alison's forum. My team is the Indianapolis Colts and there was a member at the old forum called Bearsfan. As his name suggests he supported the Chicago Bears. In the 2007 Super Bowl the Colts beat the Bears and I was thrilled. Bearsfan handled the loss well, its just unfortunate there can only be one winner.
Next weekend the Colts play the 0-13 Detroit Lions so I have reason to be confident they can win their 7th game in a row! But this season the Colts can only achieve a wildcard because the best team in the league, the Tennessee Titans, are in the same division.
Who does everyone support in the NFL?

OK, I'll play...

The cheerleaders are not interesting to me in anyway, except for the cheerleaders of one of my favorite teams (Carolina Panthers)
Although Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith are more entertaining to watch make amazing plays.

GO TITANS!!! (I'm still happy Indy won that one, because I am still hoping for a team to go 0-16)

indyfan · 12-19-2008, 10:59 AM

The Colts won today as well!!

Max · 12-28-2008, 06:37 AM

CAN THEY DO IT? YES THEY CAN 0-16!!! First team in NFL History to be this bad. I have been waiting for this to happen ever since I had first started watching football, becuase this had never happened in NFL history before. This Lions team is absolutely unspeakably shockingly bad, who thought that they would be THIS bad, I mean I thought that they would win at least a game or two, but they went go 0-16 (unless they pull a miricle at Lambeau), and will go down as the worst team in NFL history, along with the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, however, the Buccaneers only went 0-14, because the 16 game schedule had not been adopted at that time. One of my favorite moments of the 2008 Detroit Lions season was the game that they came closest to winning. Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings fumbled the ball at the Detroit 1 yard line, and Detroit recovered. The very next play, Lions QB Dan Orlovsky didn't know how deep the endzone was, and ended up walking out of the back of his own endzone for a saftey, and the final score of that game was 12- 10, Minnesota with the win. This team bearly even qualifies as an NFL Team, there are no good players on this team, I mean Kansas City is a very bad team, but at least they have a few good players, There is not even one superstar on this team, Even though Matt Millen is gone, I'm surprised that he didn't rename the team "The Detroit Wide Receivers", becuase he drafted at least 4 WRs in 5 years, and nobody to throw with. The only one of these players remaining on the team is Calvin Johnson, who was drafted in 2007. If I were a WR and Detroit drafted me, I would not play for them, holdout, and ask to be traded to another team (Like Eli Manning did, except the team he did this with. San Diego, ended up being a good team).

P.S. Did anyone get my joke about the cheerleaders?

indyfan · 01-04-2009, 05:19 AM

Colts LOSE today. Its deflating to win so many regular season games in a row and then bang its all over. A Titans v Chargers playoff match would be good to watch but whether that happens depends on tomorrow.

Hey everyone. This is officially my second post on the site, and I just wanted to throw a topic out there to get some discussion. Aside from watching the lovely Danielle, I am so stoked about the NFL draft.

As a Seahawks fan(Don't be hating me Danielle just because our teams are in the same conference

), the trend seems to be that Gerald McCoy or Eric Berry will be available at #6. With the #14 pick, the consensus is C.J.Spiller.

What is your team? Which player are you looking hoping for? Why?

indyfan · 04-03-2010, 11:18 PM

Hi Blackadder, I went missing from this message board for over a year!
My favorite team is the Indianapolis Colts. I don't think the draft is a big deal for my team, at least in the short term. We just have to get Anthony Gonzalez and Bob Sanders healthy again. For other teams the draft is crucial. Also coming soon is the release of the 2010-11 NFL schedule.

BlackAdder · 04-05-2010, 03:31 AM

Hey indyfan,

I just published my mock draft, and I have your Colts taking DT Jared Odrick from Penn. You are right in that the draft is not a huge deal for teams like the Colts, Saints, Vikings etc...but it is a make or break year for teams like mine which is why I am so obsessed with the draft.

Take a look.
