What a snoozer. Maybe the Raiders will get a game changer in the draft...

You don't Knowshon, but he's about to dominate the entire NFL, except for the Falcons in the Super Bowl.

no he isn't. he's, by a WIDE margin, the worst 'starting' running back in the nfl. he does absolutely nothing well, and is only playing because ronnie hillman is actually somehow worse.
cue: STATZ.

You're clearly overlooking his 3.5 ypc and 1 TD this season.

i know! i was too focused on the fact that he's the least explosive running back in nfl history, that he still doesn't get to the hole in under 6 seconds (on average), and that he's incapable of breaking tackles when the defenders whiffs entirely! but ****, 3.5 ypc is pretty solid.

If the Colts want to win the division they will either need to pull for the patriots or the vikings. Since it would seem unrealistic for the Vikings to beat the Texans, it would seem their best bet is to pull for the Patriots. I wonder how many Colts fans would subject themselves to that...

I truly pity the fact that you had to deal with Moreno and Maroney at the same time. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

i just remember in the lead up, everyone wanted maroney. then everyone thought we were trading up for maroney. i don't know, to this day, why anyone thought he would be any good in the nfl, in the same way that i have no idea why anyone thought moreno was better than the garbage that he currently is.

Colts fans need to worry about beating the Titans. Indy isn't good enough yet to be scoreboard watching.

the problem is they won't play the Texans until after the Patriots and Texans have played and the Vikings are a middle of the road team.
If the Patriots win Monday night (and the Colts win Sunday), then the Colts control their own destiny to a division title - even though it sounds crazy now.

The butt hurt is strong with this one. The NFC East is easily the funniest division to watch in the NFL right now. The Eagles are masters of the turnover, the Cowboys can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as well as any team in the league, the Giants forget to show up more than any other good team in the league and the Redskins are the Redskins and thus inherently hilarious.

Maybe if the east wasn't constantly being shoved up my backside I would give your argument some consideration. I live in Seattle and without fail the NFL insists on televising at least one NFC East game every week, and usually an AFC East game as well. God forbid I get to see another NFC West game besides the one the Seahawks are playing in.

It's shoved up your backside because the NFC East is a ratings cash cow. It's all about population density.
The East has big markets which means more money for the league. Big markets also means higher ratings in a vacuum.
It's not like the division sucks either. The records aren't great bc all 4 teams beat the snot out of each other during the regular season. But we are always putting a SB contender or 2 into the playoffs every year.

Those things are all true. But that doesn't mean that anyone on the West Coast wants to watch any of those teams play WEEK IN,WEEK OUT. I personally know a couple of Patriots fans and one Jets fan. None of my friends or colleagues are fans of Dallas, NYG, or Washington. One guy at work is an Eagles fan.

I understand. I don't blame you for feeling that way.
I personally hate that the East Coast has to wait so late for games to accomodate the west coast. California doesn't give a **** about their sports teams unless they're constantly winning (like the Lakers) anyway. I have a better chance of watching the Chargers play than San Diego natives.
