Wooderson Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 That's nice. He is my fantasy quarterback. Agreed man. I have the little Manning as a backup but I hate little Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Stick a fork in the Colts. They are done. The run is over even if Manning returns. They have a O line that has not jelled. NO running game. Collins looked bad last year and Painter should be a house painter. The Defense was built on attack speed. They do best when Peyton gives them a 14 point lead. When even or behind, they get crushed. Houston is ready to over take them for dominance in the division. The Titans and Jags are rebuilding but always play them tough. NO Manning equals no chance. Yes they can be bad enough to enter the Andrew Luck sweep stakes. Just our luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koufax Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Remember when Brady went down in week 1 and it looked like the season was over? Manning is more valuable and the rest of the Colts less talented, but Kerry Collins also was the QB of a 13-3 team three seasons ago. I think they will play out the season even if Manning can't make it, and they will not get a chance to draft Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 The news about Peyton Manning’s injury is going to get worse before it gets better. The latest from Colts information director/owner Jim Irsay, via Twitter: “NFL Season opens 2nite!We had a good practice yesterday and r guys r fired up 4 the season.#18′s out for awhile,but compete,we will/BELIEVE,” Irsay wrote. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/08/colts-owner-peyton-manning-will-be-out-awhile/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 They will be the Spurs of the NFL. Bad enough just one year to draft another once in a generation player. Without Manning, the Colts aren't that good. They're probably a 2-14 team without Manning...sad, but they're right in the running for Andrew Luck now...

cvanvol Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Wow. If Polian and his son "are all that", how could they let the QB situation develop to where if Manning can't play, their best bet is hauling Kerry Collins out of retirement? Especially after Manning had the first neck surgery. That's some sh** folks. I cant tell if this is sarcasm???? So if one of the greatest QB's in the history of the NFL goes down you are criticizing the GM for not having enough depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Haven't read through the thread so maybe someone else mentioned this already but here it is. A "friend" with some good inside knowledge of Indy says there's a good chance Manning will never play again. Or to put it the way he did, it was that the Colts won't be surprised if he doesn't play again. I guess this is a lot more serious than has been let on.

Kaenon Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Andrew Luck to the Colts in 2012. Then they'll trade Manning in 2013/2014 and someone will re-work his new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had further neck surgery Thursday, sources familiar with the situation said. Manning decided to have the surgery, the sources said, after consultation with a half-dozen doctors who reached a consensus that the most viable option would be a one-level cervical neck fusion in the wake of his May 23 surgery to repair a bulging disk. It's unclear whether Manning would be able to return to play this season. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6944302/indianapolis-colts-peyton-manning-more-surgery-neck-sources-say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I cant tell if this is sarcasm???? So if one of the greatest QB's in the history of the NFL goes down you are criticizing the GM for not having enough depth? Not sure if that was sarcasm, but I am serious with the same thought. The Colts team has masked a lot of deficiencies with PM's play. An excellent GM would have built a better overall team to the point that one player does not control the fortune of the franchise. At this point, we don't know how the Colts will play if PM does not return this year. But, it is a good test of Polian's team-building prowess. We will see - I think he was an excellent selector of talent but PM's success lulled him into a false sense of (over) confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) one less team to compete for a wild card.i always watch games from a perspective of " how will the bills benefit " mindset. i have the utmost respect for manning and it sure is sad, the colts are in trouble, to say the least, but it just reshuffles the wild card deck a bit.
