Quote:TMD, please explain to us this. You have stated multiple times that the Colts intentially tanked and only tried to win once they had the number 1 pick locked up. So who was trying to throw the games? The coaches who were fired? The players who got released? Who are the ones responsible for this "tank job" and how did they go about doing it?

 

 

Its been discussed already. (cliff notes version)-The call came from Irsay. The players that were in there aren't going to lose on purpose, but you can get around that by strategic inclusion of a player or few into the starting lineup that isn't good that can bring the rest down. Think Gabbert starting for us and what that would accomplish at this point all season....we'd still be winless. Their coaches knew they were out the door by midseason of that year anyway. So winning meaningless games wasn't going to save them. They got a little severance as they went out the door for making the personnel decisions that generated the desired results (losses that ensured the top pick).
