Indianapolis Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson went out of his way at the podium during the NFL Combine to defend his 8-8 football team, which played 9 games without Andrew Luck this season but still missed the playoffs, by apparently taking comfort in the fact they were better than the 4-12 Dallas Cowboys, who played 12 games without Tony Romo – and all of their games as a NFC team, as far away from the Colts as possible.
“There were a lot of other teams in the league where their quarterback went down and had a better perceived offensive line and all those types of things that are picking real high in the draft”
Yes, Mr. Grigson, we are picking very high in this draft, and by the looks of it are using this Combine to ensure that we take full advantage of the fourth overall pick in making our team better. After all, that is what the Combine should ultimately be about. This should be a time where all teams can settle any differences and agree that the job is to find talent on the field.
A wave of players have went to the podium and mentioned meetings with the Dallas Cowboys, which is an exciting start to Will McClay and company’s draft process.
Also, let us remember the last time the Colts and Cowboys met up:

These two teams will not play each other in 2016, but I’m sure Jason Garrett along with the rest of the organization is not losing any sleep over these comments.
colts had nothing to play for. top 3 seeds was locked in. ooops
Did the Colts make the playoffs? Did they win the super bowl? No to both. Did green bay make the playoffs did they win the super Bowl? Yes to playoffs no to SB. Did Houston Texans make the playoffs did they win the SB? Playoffs yes Super bowl no. Let's ask this did the Cowboys make the playoffs did they win the SB? No so let's brag about a better record but basiculy your in the same boat as the cowboys but your drafting number 18 while we are 4th don't get the difference.Houston is a terrible team they made the playoffs they pic number 22 does that really help houston. Yeah they will find talent at 22 but not the qb they wanted and need. Green bay is number 27 I think they made the playoffs but they did not win the SB so what's the point of bragging you have no trophy you watched denver win the sb on the couch just like our cowboys. Get the drift people get the drift Colts dick
