Who to Root For: Week 15

Found December 17, 2011 on 18 To 88:
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts

With three weeks left, the Colts hold a lead in the strength of schedule tiebreaker in the event they win two games and wind up tied with the Rams and Vikings for the worst record in football. As of now, the strength of schedules look like this (calculated for the entire season's schedule, worst record wins): Colts: 115-96 (.545) Vikings: 119-90 (.569) Rams: 121-87 (.581) Should the Colts lose on Sunday, they could actually mathematically clinch the top pick if enough of the games below swing their way. There are very few non-division games left in the final two weeks, so there will be little movement. By my count, after this week the most games the Vikings can on Indianapolis the rest of the season is 8. The most the Rams can gain is 6. This is in part because any Indianapolis win actually helps their S.o.S number by hanging a loss on a divisional opponent. Here's who to root for. Bengals at Rams Saints at Vikings Obviously, Indy is rooting for the Rams and Vikes t...

Colts Should Select Andrew Luck, Trade for RG3

Via College Sports University  |  December 16, 2011
The news coming out of Indianapolis seems to change every few minutes. The latest widely reported item is that Peyton Manning has begun to throw (without helmet or pads) for the Colts. It looks very much as though he’s not just intent on coming back in 2013, but maybe even in 2012. The team kept him off the injured reserve list for exactly that reason. Of course, the original...

49ers a landing spot for Manning?

Via The Colts Authority  |  December 17, 2011
Bill Barnwell has surveyed the land and come up with a list of possible landing spots for Peyton Manning.  In his eyes, Classic Colt Jim Harbaugh would be a perfect match for Peyton Manning: If Jim Harbaugh can't get Andrew Luck, wouldn't this be the next best thing? With Harbaugh as coach, that young offensive line percolating, a dominant defense, and the NFC West on the...

Where Barnwell Went Wrong

Many have asked me to respond to Bill Barnwell's piece in Grantland about the Colts. Most of it has been addressed on this site before, but I wanted to give a cliff-notes style response to his specific arguments. Barnwell is one of the best NFL writers around, and one of my absolute favorites. This was not his best work, however. ARGUMENT #1: The Colts collapse began in April...
