Quote:I think I had the Colts low, and it would have been lower, but you can't put them all in the #1 spot, and then I think I had Green Bay high. That was one impossible week of picks.

 

I recall that Detroit game well, and the finish was a little comical in a way ... IIRC The go ahead Colts touchdown was Luck throwing it to TY Hilton, and then nearly beating him into the endzone. (Psst, I just knew the Colts would lose that Detroit game ... somehow they didn't, and it was every bit as exciting as I feared it would be)

 

I bought a TY Hilton jersey last year before he became popular. Had to go to NFL.com because it wasn't mass produced or sold locally. NFL.com didn't even have the upper models, they only had the $100.00 one. He just may be able to make a difference with all playmakers the Colts were counting on being on IR ... I really hated to see Reggie go down, but it happens to so many guys. I wouldn't doubt that one of these days every player will be required to wear knee braces.

 

I haven't looked at this weeks games, probably get it overwith tonight.

 

 

There have been many weeks that I wanted to put teams low in confidence points but ended up putting the in the middle or even on the high end.    Similar you mentioned,    you can only put so many teams at or near the lowest confidence point total.

 

While Ty Hilton has already far exceeded what the typical 3rd Round pick provides,   at the end of the game in Detroit,   it was Donnie Avery who caught the winning TD.     The Colts sent all of the other skill players deep,   with Avery then catching a crossing pattern and having the running room to score against a Lions Defense that was drawn well into the end zone.     Great play call and execution by the Colts.     It was the most difficult loss of last season for me but it was a game that convinced me beyond any doubt that Luck is a differential QB.     I'm still in disbelief the Lions lost that game.
