Thoughts on Caldwell?

When Tony leaves we all know Jim Caldwell will be the new head coach of our Colts.

I have heard mixed opinions on Caldwell. I know his record was not great at Wake Forest, but I personally believe he will be able to maintain the success we have experienced over the last 6 years. He is not the same coach he was while at Wake, he has been in Indy watching and learning everything Tony does. Jim will be just fine as head coach of our Colts.

So how do you think Caldwell does when he takes over the Colts, either this year or in the future?

So you are telling me there is a chance

It seems very probable that the Colts will make the playoffs. Hopefully we can take care of option #1, which will lock up the 5 seed and a trip to Denver.

Indianapolis Colts
The Colts clinch a playoff spot with:

1) A victory over Jacksonville OR
2) A tie with Jacksonville and New England loss or tie OR
3) A tie with Jacksonville and Baltimore loss or tie OR
4) A tie with Jacksonville and Miami loss or tie and N.Y. Jets loss or tie OR
5) Baltimore loss and Miami loss or tie OR
6) Baltimore loss and New England loss OR
7) Baltimore loss and N.Y. Jets loss or tie OR
8) New England loss and Miami loss or tie OR
9) New England loss and N.Y. Jets loss or tie OR
10) Miami loss and N.Y. Jets loss and Indianapolis clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over N.Y. Jets.

Great Article on Tony

There is a great article on Tony Dungy written by Dan Wetzel from Yahoo.

His 135-69 record in 13 NFL seasons ranks him 18th all time in total victories. This should be his 11th playoff appearance, and his Colts have now won 10 or more games in all seven of his seasons in Indy.

It’s more than that, though. Former players swear by him like almost no one else in the league. His assistants are fiercely loyal: In seven years, only three members of his staff have left for any reason.

Tailgating for Monday Night?

I am a life long Colts fan, but I couldn't turn down a chance to see what I foresee as the best MNF game of the season. So I impulsively bought 2 tickets off eBay and I am giving one ticket to one of my friends who is a Panthers fan.

I went to the Panthers-Colts preseason game this season but wasn't able to tailgate. We are taking the light-rail up to the game after work. Anyone know where the good tailgate spots will be on Monday night? Any changes since this will be a MNF game?

I hope the Panthers can pull it out, and their defense gets it together after the past 2 weeks. Go Cats!
