eball Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 That's ridiculous. Each person gets $4.18 and a sixth of a hat? Not to mention they have to rotate in and out of the stadium every 10 minutes of game action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 "Many starters played briefly or were nursing little injuries, but it was a crap performance, my apologies / My commanders got n earful from me!" I saw that too 2 damn funny.... maybe he should give them all a refund. I just flew into Indy for work and was wondering if I should have worn my Bills cap. The Colts went into the game planning to evaluate the roster. The Bills went into the game to show everyone the team is totally buying into what Marrone and Pettine are selling because the entire team was relentless the whole game. Not making excuses for the Colts, but as first preseason games go, you can count the number of people who knew the Bills would run a hurry up offense for four qtrs on the hand of a bad woodshop teacher. what makes you think the Bills didn't go into the game to evaluate the roster????? duh huh .......

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Jim was named VP and GM a month after the move. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Irsay Thanks Gugny. However, Wing Man said he moved the team. He didn't move the team, his father did. Also I was working in the sports media at the time and no one knew who Jim Irsay was, other than by his last name.

KD in CA Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I used to think Twitter was the stupidiest invention in history. Now I think it's great because it allows complete idiots to highlight that fact to the world. Congrats to Jim Irsay for beating out Lee Westwood for this week's title.

Chandler#81 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Now realizing their off-season focus was bigger, faster D-players, better OL players and better ST coverage, it's easy to see why Irsay and Colts fans in general were aghast with the performance. Imagine spending $140M for 3 specific things then witnessing them get crushed in their very 1st outing. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! But, it was just them not playing together long enough yet. It had NOTHING to do with playing the perennial bottom feeders.. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Colts should probably just fold their franchise now, they lost to the Bills in Pre-season game #1, thats it, seasons over now........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Hey, the Colts can take comfort in still being ranked #12 in the NFL power poll while the Bills are still a lowly #29. I'm sure if they were actually TRYING to play they would have crushed us, right? PTR Edited August 14, 2013 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It seems like Irsay is upset that his team looked so bad against the Bills. While he did not say that he probably is thinking it. And Irsay probably said it to his coaches and GM. Oh, and that is what i would tell my team if i was Marrone. Fire up your team anyway you can. Tell your players we are going to piss a lot of people off this year who think we are going to be an 'easy win'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Pagano isn't going to get much pity this year. The Colts are not going to get it done. And folks think Ralph is a meddlesome owner. Irsay is on a par with Jurry Jones and Bud Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I like how the solution is to play the starters more. When that's exactly what every team does as the preseason progresses (at least through game 3). It'll look like the coaches are trying some kind of solution instead of doing what they would do any preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And folks think Ralph is a meddlesome owner. Irsay is on a par with Jurry Jones and Bud Adams. I don't want to bash Pagano--in light of what he battled through-- but he strikes me a bit as out of his element. Something about his demeanor on the sideline screams "Dennis Erickson befuddlement." He might have the kind of success in Indy that a guy like Caldwell had-- i.e., due solely to having a phenomenal QB-- but I am not sure he's going to make a particularly good HC. And it's not going to help having Irsay on his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
