Muddy River

Maybe if we had smaller shoes, or recruited kids with smaller feet, we wouldn’t dribble off our feet so much…

The legend of Xavier Johnson is so much better than the reality…..

Minshew wasn't brought in to be the starter and for him to have us in playoff contention is pretty good if you ask me.

Fair enough.  I think that’s a valid point, but watching him force his receivers to extend or adjust on almost every throw wears me out.  If a receiver was that bad at route running he’d be out of the league in short order.

We will probably miss the playoffs by 1 game and it will go back to the loss vs the Browns. The blown call at the end that  cost us the game and could cause us to miss the playoffs.

It’s not one game Scott.  You blame the refs, I could point out the Jacksonville loss the game before that when Minshew threw 3 picks and had a fumble.  The Colts aren’t a good team, we’ll see if they can get better next year.

You really going to our this loss on the QB SMH

Plenty of bad football on the Colts side, but he’s the QB.  He cannot throw accurately.  He lead Pittman into that hit.  As a Colts fan, I’m pissed about that.  His crappy play is getting people hurt.  He might be serviceable as a part time back up, but he isn’t leading any team anywhere, unless it’s the IR.

I still blame Ballard for not having good depth at the WR position. Pierce is a bust

There just aren’t that many 8 foot tall receivers….

I never said he was a starter but he has been good this year for the Comts

Did you type that before or after he threw the backbreaking, playoff ending pick?

Just now, IU Scott said:

No it wasn't, you are just seeing things that would meet your agenda about Minshew. For the most part he had been really good for the Colts. I don't know what you have against him because without him we wouldn't be in the playoffs discussion 

Scott, there is a reason he is not a starter.

What over throw because Downs should have caught that pass. It was right in his hands

It was in his hands because he leapt 4 feet off the ground and completely extended.  The ball was high.  Same with Pierce earlier in the game.  The receivers ALWAYS have to extend to try and make a catch.  See Pittman.  Minshew is wildly inaccurate.

Most inaccurate QB I have ever seen

Hearing the fans sing “Goodbye” after blowing the largest Super Bowl lead ever is hysterical….right up until Garbage over throws yet another receiver, then the humor is lost.

Yes the Falcons are a bad team

The Colts are a bad team.  Minshew’s inaccuracy often leads receivers into devastating hits.  He is garbage.  The secondary is slightly better than the Hoosiers.  IF this is a playoff team, it will be one and done.

He gets 5 free years before you can judge. I do like all the shit he is talking though for never have won a Big Ten game. Huge Balls, have to respect it.

I remember watching Coach Hoep’s introductory press conference and thinking the rose in the crystal bowl was a bit cheesy.  When he said IU was a “rocket ship”, I scoffed.  But he was so damn persistent that eventually even I became a believer.  Losing him set IU Football back immeasurably.  I see a little of Hoep’s attitude in CCC.

Seems like we can copy and paste no matter the head coach.

Meh.  I’m sick of rankings.  Especially when I see Purdue at the top of the MBB rankings AGAIN.  When is the last time they had a top ranked recruiting class?  Give me a team of guys that buy in and believe in the system any day, and give max effort.  Remember when we inked one of the “best” QBs in the nation out of Columbus?  What ever happened to that guy?  Certainly didn’t pan out like the “experts” predicted.

Reading all the complaints about officiating got me curious so I went and checked out the Kansas board. Unsurprisingly they see things totally differently. It took 3 pages of their game thread to find all these gems.

 

#1 for Indiana hasn’t set a legitimate pick all day. Every time he is setting a pick he leans his shoulder out or steps out with his elbow fully extended. He never comes to a full stop with his feet

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait, wasn’t Kansas a finalist for Ware?  And the fans don’t even know who he is?!?

That is golden……

So over 8 minutes left to go and McCullar picks up a 4th foul.  Self leaves him in the rest of the way.  Was it an incredible stroke of luck that he didn’t foul out, or did Bill know something the rest of us didn’t?  It’s like he dared the refs to call the 5th foul, knowing that they wouldn’t.

Highlights look good.  Is this enough to bring McCulley back?  I sure hope so.

There are going to be some GREAT match-ups in the SEC next year. Love the Big 2 conferences going away from divisions. But the SEC HAS to start playing 9 conferences games like the big boys and stop the Mercer/Fuhrman/Maine crap late in the season. 

Ahhhhh….Fuhrman, good old FU.

Get that tanking BS out of here.

Why, what would the Colts get by making the Playoffs and losing the first game?  I get it’s too late now, but the season was sealed when Minshew was named the starter.  I’d much rather have traded this season for a shot at starting ARich, JT, and MHjr next year.  By the way, got any plans this week?  I can meet you in Indy and we’d have a pretty good chance of being starters in the secondary next week.

Who knows but you play to win the game. Tanking are for losers if you have a chance to win in that year. There will be 4 or 5 teams at 7-6 today. Going into today the Colts had one less loss than the great KC Chiefs

You’re right.  The differences between Mahomes and Minshew are indiscernible.

Joe Mixon is beating on the Colts defense like they are a bunch of ho’s in a fast food restaurant.  

For the next 6 minutes….and if they get in, then what?  Garbage Minshew going to lead them to the SB?

The “tank” should’ve been in when Richardson went down.  No reason to bring back Taylor this year.
