Colts tanked in 2011 - revisited

[rvz1020]

after watching the game Sunday there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that the colts tanked last year. Yes a great qb will make a world of difference but after winning what was it? 2 wins last year? And now they have 5 wins midway thru this yr just proves it. I didn't see a colts defense that was getting shredded in every game last year. It is just too night and day from last year to this year. I can't believe the NFL allowed this to go on. The NFL should have implemented the NBA draft lottery and have a lottery. What is everyone's bought on these cheating colts and the idea of using the NBA draft lottery?

Yes to all of the above but its shocking how many fans right here on FH seem to be ok with getting cheated out of the next Marino,Elway,Young and dare I say it...Manning. The say "move on" or "They were just that bad" instead of contemplating they are the very one who had the bread ripped from their mouth and gave to the undeserving.

Yes the NFL needs a lottery system and YES FH should have had an organized movement to complain to the NFL about what took place last season but neither will happen because in the NFL the rich get richer and the poor...well you know how that old chestnut goes...

BTW...Have you seen Curtis Painter lately? Funny...Me either Matter of fact if you really look at it and THINK...everything from the Coach (Jim Caldwell) down to the ball boy were set up to fail last season to get Andy.

So true. The system is broken, incentivse favor the cheaters.

I dont believe the players were in on tanking last season. I seriously doubt that.

I will say the fact that Curtis Painter wasn't pulled as the stater last year until they sured up the #1 overall pick is very suspicious.

Miami wouldn't have got luck anyways if the colts haven't tanked.

Ive never seen anyone suggest that we would have got Luck if the Colts didnt tank

[N-E-O]

It matters not who "would" have got Andy...The point is the Colts should NOT have him on the roster.

they're smart

They are "Cheaters"

Cheater:To deceive by trickery; swindle: cheated customers by overcharging them for purchases. 2. To deprive by trickery; defraud: cheated them of their land. 3.To get Andy by laying down like a sick dog for 1 season until you obtain the overall #1.
