Colts Phoned it In

**Mike B** · 10-23-2011, 10:00 PM

Been jumping back and forth between the World Series and the disgrace of a game on NBC.
The Colts are being edged out 62-7, but there are still over 12 minutes left for them to mount a comeback.

What a disgraceful effort.

Is 12 minutes out too early to start taking a knee? Geez, they need a mercy rule.

**camdenyard** · 10-23-2011, 10:05 PM

I don't recall ever seeing a 70-point game in the NFL.

Wouldn't mind this being the first!

EDIT: The Irsays just punted from the 50 down 55 with 6:42 left. Now that's disgraceful.

Looks like the Dolts are well on their way to going 0-16.

"With the 1st pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts select.."

**Kevlar** · 10-23-2011, 10:08 PM

Looks like 72 points is the record. They might as well go for it!

**Mike B** · 10-23-2011, 10:12 PM

Thats what the Irsays get for assigning #19. God are they awful.

Taking a knee would improve the Colts offense. I noticed Joe Reitz is starting at left guard. Ravens PS guy.

Brees literally raped the Colts defense tonight. His stat line is insane.

Who should trade for Manning? I would think San Fran, NYJ, Wash, SEA, and MIA should all take a good look! Luck very well could be heading to Indy.

I got a few snickers from friends when I said the Colts were maybe an 8-8 *with* Manning.

Manning does mean a lot, but he doesn't play defense.

That is if manning can play again.....The Dolphins snatched defeat from the jaws of victory today to match the Irsays.

It makes you proud to be a Raven's fan, doesn't it.

When losing one player makes your season crash and burn like that, you have a terrible front office.

There was a 72-0 game in the 1940's: Chicago Bears vs. Redskins. Bears won.Apparently there was player dispute with George Preston Marshall and the Redskins showed their displeasure by not competing.

**duffybr** · 10-23-2011, 11:03 PM

Defense gave up the points. 7 points sucks but.....

**ballhawk** · 10-23-2011, 11:21 PM

The irsay franchise is a disgrace to the league. They should be contracted.

I wonder if anyone accused the Saints of running up the score? Or is that just reserved for the Ravens?

**DvlsAdvc8** · 10-23-2011, 11:53 PM

The Colts have seriously been exposed as being the Indianapolis Peyton Manning they are... er... were.

If I recall correctly, the 1940 NFL championship game was Bears 73, Redskins 0. The Redskins beat the Bears 7-3 earlier in the year, and George Preston Marshall claimed his team had more guts than the Bears or some such thing. The Bears were fired up for the championship game and also unveiled the 'new' T-formation. Hall of Fame Redskins QB Sammy Baugh threw a pass to a receiver in the end zone which was dropped. After the game he was asked if the outcome of the game would have been different had his receiver caught the pass for the score. Baugh quipped, "Yup, it would have been 73-7."

Funny thing is, if Painter airs out his first pass just a tad longer, Garcon takes it 80 yards and the Colts are up 7-0 on the game's first play from scrimmage. Which would've made the final score something like 62-14...
