In patchwork D-line, Thomas the 'old' guy

Just like that, fourth-year Indianapolis Colts defensive end Josh Thomas has aged.

[former coach]

The Colt's along with Coach Dungy and the coaching staff have done a great job this year with all of the injuries they have had to work around. I hope they start to get healthy soon so they are in as good a shape as they can be when the play-offs come around. It would be nice to have the bye week as the #2 seed.

Look out next year, NFL. We will be healthy and looking to put a whoopin' on the league.

I hope you mean next year being January and February of 2008!

Hopefully, once the Colts lock in their position in the playoffs, they will rest the starters and let others have time on the field.
They need healthy bodies for the playoffs.
And giving playing time to those who haven't seen much can only be a good thing if they are needed.

No no, I mean we'll be even better next year.

We'll be fine - it's just Oakland. They couldn't protect Randall Cunningham in his prime on a running play.

As long as at least one of our starting corners are in, and we have 10 other Colts defensive players of ANY string on the field, we'll win that side. Offensively, it would take a San Diegoesque performance to give them a chance to win. Time to club some baby seals... you know, without running the score up too bad.

Hope they cut Rhodes - would like to have him for less money since he can block and knows the scheme.

Article says "Dungy had been a finalist for Beliefnet's "Most Inspiring Person of the Year Award," but on Wednesday the honor went to Virginia Tech professor Liviu Librescu, a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor who gave up his life to save students in a tragic campus shooting spree."

Funny, I would think that this lame professor wouldn't hold a candle to a coach who boasts that God is on his side. For so many good qualities that Dungy seems to have, why does he have to throw in the "God wants the Colts to win" crap?

"God wants the Colts to win"? I do
not believe for 1 nano-second that
Tony EVER said those exact words.
That is an extremely stupid state-
ment!

He never said that. It's just another hater who doesn't like Tony because he is a good person.

I believe Dungy is on the record saying 'God does not care about the outcome of football games.' or something very close to that.

[Elmer]

I like Tony, I just don't like proselytizing, or claiming that God had something to do with winning or losing football games.

“The Lord set this up in a way that no one would believe it,” Dungy said following the Colts’ win over New England.“The Lord tested us a lot this year, but He set this up to get all the glory.”

One of the thing I remember reading about the Dolphins a number of years ago was that they didn't really think about the perfect season until it was almost completed. And then when they had gone 14-0, their biggest worry (motivator) was how embarrassing it would be to lose in the playoffs after having a perfect season.

But god does want the colts to win and for the patriots to go to hell, along withe the red sox, the celtics, bruins and the 15th st boston bowling team..
Sorry its sad but true
