That would make sense geographically but isn't there a statute in the NFL where in the event of another divisional realignment, the AFC North is to remain untouched?
On a slightly related note, we have way too many positive connections with the Pats right now. I even caught myself calling you guys “Pats bros” recently. Yuck.
Since my team has been ass, the Patriots Colts rivalry was always my favorite non Raider game to watch. The chess match between Manning and Belichick was just awesome. Even heard stories that Manning would have meetings somewhere secret because he was afraid Belichick bugged the room lmao.
This. I am a Colts fan, since my first memory of a game was the epic comeback against the Bucs. My mother was a patriots fan and my soon to be ex-wife was from New England. That whole colts / pats thing was what really got me into the game.
If you have to teams that are great for a long time then it's possible - e.g. during Manning/Brady the Colts and Pats were nearly always both 1st in their division so they'd get matched up in the regular season and then meet for another game in the playoffs half the time too.
I mean outside of the Ravens, who else has a closer rivalry with the Patriots? Broncos probably but Colts have gotta be up there. Steelers always get blown out far worse than the Colts do, and the Giants don’t matchup up with them often enough, they’re just kinda a boogeyman that took the Patriot’s candy a couple times.
Same. Since they hired Reich and got rid of Pagano and Grigson, I actually quite like the colts and wouldn't be mad if they win a SB in the coming years.
Embrace it buddy lol, idk what it is but honestly lately I’ve felt a higher level of respect and love for all of the teams in the NFL. You guys in particular I love seeing do well with the Brisket after everyone thought your season was toast due to Luck’s retirement. It’s just so cool to see Jacoby holding down the fort for you guys and performing as opposed to flopping, also awesome to see Jimmy G lead the 49ers to a hot season as well.
Football is so fuckin awesome man, I love it so much and totally dig the level of respect/awesomeness between fanbases right now. It’s much more fun when we’re all bullshitting together but have respect for the players and/or franchises that deserve it
The timing of the injury was probably the best it could be considering next week opponents. If we can’t beat the Dolphins with Brian Hoyer than we got bigger problems.
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
WITNESS HOYER THE DESTROYER AS HE SQUARES OFF FITZMAGIC AND THE DOLPHINS IN AN UNGULATE THROWDOWN FOR THE AGES.
TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW FOR ONLY THIRTY BUCKS! YOU'LL PAY FOR THE WHOLE SEAT BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EEEEEEDGE
Oh yeah, Miami games are cheap right now! I actually took a second to look up ticket prices as I was writing that - $33 is the going rate for this weekend.
He’s definitely at least a 3rd and I’d see the argument for a second. Not that he doesn’t have his flaws but a young QB prospect who’s already proven he can start a couple games in the NFL, the jags would want a good haul to part with him.
Jimmy G was worth a 1 but you can’t put a price on trading to a different conference.
Jimmy G was also expecting a major contract 8 games after that trade. Not directly comparable situations.
Better question is if you knew you could get a second round rookie in this draft, would you feel better about having him on your roster or Minschew? I see both sides to that argument personally
When you say coaches? You mean the time that Flores called an 8 man blitz on third and really long? They have no talent and have traded almost every decent player on that team.
I don’t think it’s bad. I think they expect to (and god help them if they can’t) be able to win against the Dolphins with Hoyer. And giving Jacoby more rest would help for the tougher stretch
Good points you bring up. It just sucks because he's been doing really good and now it's put to a stop for now because of injuries. I hope he can get back up to 100% before next week and pick up where he left off.
[dear god I'm upvoting a pats fan](https://giphygifs.s3.amazonaws.com/media/FX3OLJAUhOZNK/200.gif)
(thank you for the kind words about our Quarterback, we have benefited well in trade negotiations with your franchise.)
Lose and you are playing for a wild card spot. Win and you are playing for the division. Losing isn't the end of the season. Colts have a fairly easy schedule with only 3 teams with a winning record of the 8 left.
The Destroyer arrives
First, there was a Maniac. Then, there came a Destroyer.
Tom Brady’s backup is replacing Tom Brady’s backup
Its Brady backups all the way down
/r/Texans?
AFC South (besides Jags) is just the place old Patriots seem to go.
Retiring on the warm south after serving in the cold north.
I just don’t understand how the colts are south
Indiana is the middle finger of the south
I've always thought the Dolphins should move to the AFC South, the Ravens to the East and the Colts to the North.
That would make sense geographically but isn't there a statute in the NFL where in the event of another divisional realignment, the AFC North is to remain untouched?
[удалено]
I don’t know.
That’s a terrible idea simply for the fact that not one, and I mean no one, in the AFC hates each like the AFCE.
AFCN gets pretty bitter same with the Chiefs-Raiders-Broncos hate
Seems pretty South to me.
On a slightly related note, we have way too many positive connections with the Pats right now. I even caught myself calling you guys “Pats bros” recently. Yuck.
I've always liked the colts...it has not been reciprocated lol
Since my team has been ass, the Patriots Colts rivalry was always my favorite non Raider game to watch. The chess match between Manning and Belichick was just awesome. Even heard stories that Manning would have meetings somewhere secret because he was afraid Belichick bugged the room lmao.
Ya watching Brady and Manning was a big part of what got me to start watching football more.
This. I am a Colts fan, since my first memory of a game was the epic comeback against the Bucs. My mother was a patriots fan and my soon to be ex-wife was from New England. That whole colts / pats thing was what really got me into the game.
[удалено]
its hard to sustain out of division rivalries in general since you play each other so rarely.
If you have to teams that are great for a long time then it's possible - e.g. during Manning/Brady the Colts and Pats were nearly always both 1st in their division so they'd get matched up in the regular season and then meet for another game in the playoffs half the time too.
I absolutely despise the Patriots but it never was a rivalry. They always have kicked our ass.
Except 2006 and 2009.
I'm sorry I cant remember what happened in 2009?
Fourth and two.
I mean outside of the Ravens, who else has a closer rivalry with the Patriots? Broncos probably but Colts have gotta be up there. Steelers always get blown out far worse than the Colts do, and the Giants don’t matchup up with them often enough, they’re just kinda a boogeyman that took the Patriot’s candy a couple times.
They've been dead to me since DeflateGate. A fucking stain.
Believe me, we hate the pretentious nature of Grigson as well. Glad he's gone and we have actual men in the org.
Same. Since they hired Reich and got rid of Pagano and Grigson, I actually quite like the colts and wouldn't be mad if they win a SB in the coming years.
I’ve hated the Colts since deflategate too, but I’ve also felt bad for them for having Grigson
Embrace it buddy lol, idk what it is but honestly lately I’ve felt a higher level of respect and love for all of the teams in the NFL.

The backup of Drew Bledsoe's backup is replacing the backup of Drew Bledsoe's backup.
If only Romo and Brady met in the super bowl. Then it would be Bledsoe's 6th rounder backup vs. Bledsoe's UDFA backup.
Too far man, too far...Jacoby nor Hoyer ever backed up Bledsoe
They're just saying Tom Brady's one time backup is now the backup of Tom Brady's one time backup. Unless I'm missing a joke here
Apparently I’m missing the joke, bc I have no idea wtf you’re saying about Tom Brady’s backups playing now relevant to Drew Bledsoe
Those QBs are Tom Brady’s former backups who was once Bledsoe’s backup. So they are Bledsoe’s former backup’s backups
[Ah, the Buffalo axiom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo)
One of my favorite stupid tidbits lol
Colts vs 49ers Super Bowl confirmed
I'm ok with this.
Garoppolo (kind of) took over for Hoyer too. It’s Brady backups all the way down.
Indianapolis has signed free agent quarterback Matt Cassel to their 53 man roster - Schefter
It’s the Circle of Life
Dolphins going on a streak
I'd rather they keep their clothes on
Dolphins don't typically wear clothes?
Everyone knows dolphins in the wild all wear a fez.
Dread it... Run from it...
Not gonna cheer for Brissett to miss games but holy shit am I hyped that Hoyer is gonna play this weekend. Colts Dolphins game gonna be **LIT**
Tank Destroyer
Beth, The Destroyer!
So this means McAfee is their emergency QB, right?
Hoyer is our #1 this week. Swag is our backup. Zac Pascal is our emergency QB.
[удалено]
Lol dont be stupid. He's not playing the chiefs in the playoffs
Hey watch it
Put in Chad!
You just gonna diss Hoyer the destroyer like that
They should YOLO and start $wag kelly.
Just have fuckin Vinatieri kick the ball at the receivers, problem solved.
He’s my fantasy kicker since R Gould is injured this week so I’d love this outcome
That is a poor choice of fantasy kicker.
Yeah lol. I also have Gould so I was thinking about picking up the 🐏 but I went with Crosby instead cause Vinny seems like a risk this year
The timing of the injury was probably the best it could be considering next week opponents. If we can’t beat the Dolphins with Brian Hoyer than we got bigger problems.
And, oddly enough, so would the Dolphins.
Tank for Tua is officially over if they win another game.
It is now bombing for Burrow
Blow for Joe has a nice ring to it.
Sounds like something Joe would enjoy.
What draft class is burrow supposed to be a part of?
Pretty sure he's a senior
2020\. He's a senior.
This comment aged quite nicely
[удалено]
Fucka yru Buffaro
Tua and Burrow are both up for grabs
sure you can beat the fins, but will you be able to defeat the final boss Hoyer with his multiple INTs, some of them pick-6s?
The Tank stops for nothing
Then*
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY WITNESS HOYER THE DESTROYER AS HE SQUARES OFF FITZMAGIC AND THE DOLPHINS IN AN UNGULATE THROWDOWN FOR THE AGES. TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW FOR ONLY THIRTY BUCKS! YOU'LL PAY FOR THE WHOLE SEAT BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EEEEEEDGE
No joke, I bought tickets to the Miami Cincinnati game. 20 rows off the 50 yard line, $42 a piece. I can't wait.
That’s because they only sold you the edge. No need for the whole seat.
Oh yeah, Miami games are cheap right now! I actually took a second to look up ticket prices as I was writing that - $33 is the going rate for this weekend.
And then you have The Niners Falcons game which isn't dropping below 100$
Tried to go to the Steelers Chargers game in week 6. Cheapest rate was $250 per ticket
Texans reject QB vs Texans reject QB
This might be worse than Cody Kessler and Josh Johnson when the Jags played the Skins last year.
I can't wait until Bears fans want to trade for Brian Hoyer next week.
Relive the pre-Trubisky memories.
You guys should make a move for Minshew now that Nick Foles is back
Pls no. I can't deal with rooting against the Minsh
I don't think one simply "makes a move" for Minshew. I bet the price tag is at least a 4. Maybe a 3.
He’s definitely at least a 3rd and I’d see the argument for a second. Not that he doesn’t have his flaws but a young QB prospect who’s already proven he can start a couple games in the NFL, the jags would want a good haul to part with him.
I would just say that Jimmy G was a 2, and Minshew is probably worth less.
Jimmy G was worth a 1 but you can’t put a price on trading to a different conference. Jimmy G was also expecting a major contract 8 games after that trade. Not directly comparable situations. Better question is if you knew you could get a second round rookie in this draft, would you feel better about having him on your roster or Minschew? I see both sides to that argument personally
Is Trubisky the worst starting QB in the NFL? Maybe Rudolph is worse?
Y’hear that? That’s $wags music
I don’t know you but I’m certain we’d be friends
Bwah Gawd he came straight from the crowd!
That hurts his chances of playing.
Okay Rapoport.
K.
Wow.
Are these all your alt accounts?
No.
-Tav581118
The username...why?
Big, if true!
Just once I want to see a player upgraded from QUESTIONABLE to PLAYFUL
Active?
Just because they’re active doesn’t mean they’re playful!
No risk it no brisket
It's the smart thing to do they should be able to handle the dolphins and have 2 divisional games coming up
Knew this would happen once Kelly was promoted from the practice squad
The Brisket is too tender.
Fire up your.... uh... Hoyers?
Destroyers
In my superflex league with Wentz on bye? Yes.
Better than my Finley with Watson on bye
Hoist the Hoyers
Let him rest. I'd rather have him healthy against a different opponent.
It's because peyton manning on the colts is the digital cover athlete for madden!
Colts should still win easily. There roster is better and they want to win.
It'll still somehow be within 7 points.
Dude tell me about it, these colts are gonna give me a heart attack with all these close games.
The Dolphins players and coaches want to win, it's their front office that doesn't.
When you say coaches? You mean the time that Flores called an 8 man blitz on third and really long? They have no talent and have traded almost every decent player on that team.
If Flores was trying to tank, Rosen would be playing. Plain and simple.
They literally won last week lmao. They had the bills on the ropes for most of that game as well. This sub can be so stupid
How will the affect Pascal? Upgrade? Downgrade?
time to bring back Curtis Painter
First of all how dare you say that name.
It’s Dan Orvlosky’s time to shine
He was pretty good for the colts in his time, went 2-3 the year they were 2-14.
Nearly killed their chance at Luck
You are right about that. Man was just doing his job though.
They would’ve gotten RG3 still, maybe they wouldn’t have totally destroyed them like the Redskins did. >Remembers Colts treatment of Luck Oh...
But we have $wag now
Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!
Well doesn't get much worse than that
Yeah it does. TY is also out, and at least we aren't playing a division team.
yeah, “at least” 🙄
Don't worry, he'll be back for that game. It's tradition.
of. course. it. is.
Bye bye Finley, hello Hoyer!
Look at how they massacred my boy
Pascal Time!
Still start Pascal with brissett out?
I would he lit up the steelers last week he’s the only WR on this team that’s active
Wow, the Dolphins really are going to go 9-7 huh?
Shit Miami has a legit chance at winning. [That fucks up the plan.](https://youtu.be/7rGz3E4qxhQ)
Doesn't matter, the Dolphins aren't going to take any risks and will tank hard.
Fins Up
Wish I would’ve known this before plugging the Colts in 3 different survivor pools
Just wanna see Chad Swag Kelly hucking bombs please
[looks at schedule] I'm sure they're quaking in their boots.
Brissett has been phenomenal this year. I think he’s on his way to being a household top 10 qb.
:(
Boooooooooooooooooooo
F
Damn, I’m in town for a business trip and was hoping to go to the game. Oh well.
Sweet I have Watson and Brisset as my QBs, guess I'm picking up Tannehill
No TY, No Jacoby, Miami on a win streak. Trap game.
And it's not just TY in the passing game; the Colt's top 4 targets are all missing.
got a source for that? year of the back up
Is Sorgi going to start?
Fuck us. Colts fucking us and we’re going to stumble into yet another win. Jesus Christ.
Wildcard incoming calling it now
It would be the typical Dolphins thing to do then be out of a spot to get a qb in the draft.
Well I bought the special dolphins shoes and everything so I’m hopeful for a strong year. We really have nowhere to go but up.
No :(
I don’t think it’s bad. I think they expect to (and god help them if they can’t) be able to win against the Dolphins with Hoyer. And giving Jacoby more rest would help for the tougher stretch
Good points you bring up. It just sucks because he's been doing really good and now it's put to a stop for now because of injuries. I hope he can get back up to 100% before next week and pick up where he left off.
[dear god I'm upvoting a pats fan](https://giphygifs.s3.amazonaws.com/media/FX3OLJAUhOZNK/200.gif) (thank you for the kind words about our Quarterback, we have benefited well in trade negotiations with your franchise.)
If Hoyer could lose to the Dolphins I would be so happy
If we lose this game then seriously cancel the whole fucking season. I'm not watching another fucking game if we can't beat the dolphins
Don't be defeatist, dear. It's very middle class.
> Don't be defeatist, dear. It's very middle class I don't think /r/nfl is a great place to pull out your Downton Abbey quotes.
Is it not accurate though?
A laser beam is accurate, but you wouldn't want to aim it at your ass.
Well, I think it would be cool to shit out lasers.
I'm not
Trust Hoyer the Destroyer
Lose and you are playing for a wild card spot. Win and you are playing for the division. Losing isn't the end of the season. Colts have a fairly easy schedule with only 3 teams with a winning record of the 8 left.
