ganesh Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 If owner says something, then he is a meddling owner....and if he doesn't, then he is not committed to the team...Boy...there is no middle ground here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit ridiculous for the owner to feel the need to publicly apologize and B word at the coaches over game 1 of the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The guy also does some crazy contests on Twitter. Before the game, he did a trivia contest giving away 2 tickets to the game, $50 spending money and 2 colts hats, to 12 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 What about his follow up tweet: "Dudes on TSW say that our starters won the first quarter, so all is well?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thr_wedge Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Is he going to tweet that if the team doesn't do well he already has the moving vans at the ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 It should be noted that the Colts, following a 2-14 season, truly limped their way on the back of a feel-good cancer rally through an easy division to an 11-5 record last year. I fully expect them to be in the 7-9 win range this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect them to be in the 7-9 win range this year. I have been saying that ever since last year ended...they literally got every break possible to go their way...9-1 in games decided under a TD, D was horrible, etc... Their expected wins based on all the variables was 6 wins last year, and they exceeded it more than any other team by a longshot..basically their stats said they were closer to the Bills than a playoff team last year... They legitimately could be a better team this year and win 8 or 9 games Edited August 12, 2013 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They legitimately could be a better team this year and win 8 or 9 games They had no business beating the Bills last year. Two questionable fumble calls and Gilmore's pick-6 called back were the difference in that game. They got all the bounces and breaks that day. After yesterday, though, it looks like they got themselves a long-term bounce in TY Hilton. If it wasn't for him, I'd call them a 4-7 win team this year. But, he looks to be a gamer, and the Luck/Hilton combo will be one for the ages. Edited August 12, 2013 by The Big Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 i think irsay gets a buzz on and then starts tweeting. he strikes me as a rich drunk with lots of time on his hands, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 That said, their defense was lousy when Peyton was there, even worse when he was gone, and truly "lucked" out last season. Yesterday's performance wasn't one that should sit well with fans, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Seems a bit ridiculous for the owner to feel the need to publicly apologize and B word at the coaches over game 1 of the preseason. I live in Indy and the Colts Blue crew support the team whole heartedly, they cringe on having to pay season ticket prices for preseason games. It was a topic of discussion prior to last season on local talk radio. Fans here like Irsay and his approach. I rather have a behind the scenes owner. Great game from my point of view.
