"FavreNation"

Ok, some of you may have heard of Sportsnation on espn. well I'm watchin it right now and they are all about Brett Favre. Trying to break a record or something. Well the question came up about who is better Favre in his hey day or Peyton Manning right now? Well the host Colin Cowherd is now my most favorite person in the world almost (he's second to Peyton Manning).

He looked the camera straight in the eye and told it like it is. Peyton Manning is flawless. (he may have had a pimple in highschool)

Peyton Manning is getting better with age and Favre is doing the opposite. Peyton will own the touchdown record.

To sum this post up Peyton > Favre.

Peyton Manning

Peyton freakin Manning. The love of my life. The reason for the Colts greatness. He just threw for his 4th straight 300 yard game this season (first time in his career). FYI we've only played 4 games. As of right now he has threw for 1336 yards. It is really hard to believe that he will stay on this kind of pace.

1336 x 4=5344.

Is it really hard to believe he could throw for over 5000 yards even with our run game picking up?

Personally I think its not out of reach but he won't make over 5000. I'm thinking just over 4600.

What do you guys think about Blue Jesus? (yea I said it)

Peria Jerry out for season

Peria Jerry out for season

Alot of us over here were very big on Peria Jerry coming into the season. Its sad to see injuries like this but I can't but exhale a sigh of relief for Polian over looking this player

Our first preseason game is Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will be playing the Minnesota Vikings (in case you didnt know).

Some things that you need to know about our hated enemy (for this week atleast)

They don't exactly know who their quarterback will be

they know its not a certain number 4 who shall not be named.

They have the baddest runningback in the league (and by bad i mean will run all day)

they're predicting almost 1900 yards rushing for this season for AP alone. wow.

The aptly named "Williams Wall" will probably be playing the whole season

these beasts will test our o-line and addai/brown.

Be sure to head over to the Daily Norseman and remind them of the great comeback we handed them last year.

boy did we need that win

Rookies, rookies, rookies. Percy, Asher and Jasper. I like. I like

Percy "pothead" Harvin is a threat. Natural talent. Jasper Brinkley has a place in my heart being from S. Carolina. I will be watching him closely.

Last year I picked the Vikes to make the superbowl. But with a 10-6 record they made the playoffs barely and lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wildcard game. I'm still big on the Vikes and believe they just need some solid QB play to take them the distance (where the colts will stop them).

The guys over at Daily Norseman are awesome and the arguments with the Pack and Bears are intense. Head over there and Spy on the Enemy.

Expect more of these. (only if you like them. feedback appreciated)

From Mockingthedraft.com
• A team that had a great draft was Indianapolis. While a receiver wasn't added, Donald Brown is now the team's best running back. Fili Moala gives them a difference maker in the middle.

My take.

Really? Donald Brown now the teams best running back? I know that alot of people here at stampedeblue argue endlessly about Addai and I'm here to start another one.

Addai is proven in this league already! He has been to a pro bowl and won a superbowl.

People look towards last season and say well "he sucked". The entire run game sucked! An o-line filled with rookies and depleted by injuries notably Jeff Saturday will surely make running the ball a chore no one could handle. While Addai did indeed have an off year last year, I fully expect him to be back to his regular self this year.

Donald Brown may prove to be the best running back EVER, but he may also prove to be a BUST (hope not). Joe Addai > Donald Brown until proven otherwise.

The Vikings are by far my second favorite team after the Colts. (I secretly love the color purple)

I volunteered to draft for the Vikings in the Stampedeblue.com mock draft.

Obviously you must draft a runningback??? Ok, I have no idea what you need/think you need. I believe you're all set at QB?? Maybe you need to draft a pair of star DT's?

So a list of needs/players you think the vikings will go after would be much appreciated.

please help meh

So I volunteered to present the Jaguars pick in the Stampedeblue.com mockdraft. If anyone would like to present a list of needs/players that jax will/might draft then please help.

I know the Jacksonville just release Matt Jones and I've seen alot of mocks where you take an offensive linemen. Do you see a wide receiver dropping to you or could you reach for one?

I hope you draft better than last year IRL :)

Please help

Question

skywalker — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:13:04 -0000

I do love this site and love reading about the draft. I am a diehard Colts fan and love to hear about the AFC South and the AFC East (patriots obviously). All of the divisions have had pieces written about them except for these two. Is there a plan anytime soon to write something on these divisions? Maybe add an additional writer perhaps. I know its early but it is the offseason already and i am HUNGRY for some FOOTBALL!

Plz Mocking Dan. Pretty Plz
