That little almost 3-game winning streak nearly dropped them from the #1 overall pick to #2.

I’m glad the fans at the game got a show. That’s what they want and paid for. But that isn’t what I was talking about. Also there were a lot of empty seats out there. This is a small market team. They need a face for the franchise and a guy that gives them a shot year in and year out. Ultimately this game doesn’t help us at all except to cement Hines as our return man.

Now imagine if we had won that game and didn’t get that pick. How different would things be today? They almost did the same thing in 1998 and it was just a few plays I believe that got us the Manning pick. That would have been a colossal blunder. If the team had gotten Leaf instead of Manning, the Colts might not be in Indy today. Normally I wouldn’t care that much if it was a few spots. But these two wins may be the difference between nearly ten spots. From a bottom of the top ten to maybe picking in the late teens early twenties.
