To be fair, the whole team is doomed this season.

This is the type of season that was expected back in 2012. This team didnt really have the opportunity to rebuild through higher draft picks since Luck turned the team around so quickly.

 

Maybe Indy has a 9-7 or 8-8 record this year allowing them to do that to some degree.

Don't think you can blame the draft position. They've had plenty of picks and a ridiculous amount of cap space to make this a better team by now. We're talking four years, and overall in 2015, this team looks worse than it did in 2012.

No it doesn't.

I'm still expecting Vontae to play after what I've read. Even so, the Texans don't have Cecil Shorts or Nate Washington in anyway. It would just be a hard first test for Toler if Vontae can't go.

I'm also hoping we contain a Arian Foster who just came back from injury and will be praying that his second game in five days. I don't even think he'll get too many carries. We can get by without Anderson

Although I am disappointed in the way the Colts have played so far, its important to be fair after 3 games.

They played a tough D in the rain in Buffalo, and got beat on a long TD because Toler was out, and their 2nd round rookie CB is on IR.

They come home to a tough Jets D, and fumble the ball at the goal line and Viniteri misses a short FG.

Against Jax, they play their backup QB and got a win, and could've won by more if not for another fumble at the goal line. (which would have resulted in the Jags not even trying the 3 game winning Fgs they missed)

They'll probably win tonight with Hasselbeck, but it won't be enough to stop the questions from being asked.

I'm confident we're watching the same team.

We're splitting hairs here as, outside the QB, both teams are/were crap, but just the fact that Reggie and Mathis were still healthy and playing at a high level in 2012 would probably lead me take that team over this one.

Plus, that team had heart. They played inspired football and found ways to win games. This team looks like and uninspired, poorly coached bunch - one that commits stupid penalties and turns the ball over in critical moments. I'll take Arians over Chuck as well.

That team won 11. This team might be picking relatively high.

It's not splitting hairs to say that this team is better than the 2012 team. The issue is perspective.

 I agree the O-Line should be much more sound by now.

 But what you saw the 1st 3 games was a league that has caught up to Andrews weaknesses, and he has Sucked.

  After 4 games last season Andre had 22 catches for 260Yds and caught 65% of his targets.

 With Andrew 7 catches for 51 yds and 39% completion %. 

 He is reasonably accurate to his pre-snap read primary target.

 STILL Pure do doo checking down and making a quick accurate throw with good touch in the short to mid range game.

 Quick thinking, quick action post snap passing, the guy is pretty much a hesitant, inaccurate bum. Andrew Loves the Long Ball.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By w87r · Posted

      Idk?   I think Ballard has a lot more control on how this is disseminated than you are giving him. I'm sure he has final approval, this isn't like the in season NFL hard knock thing.(Which we still controlled what was put out there) This is a team made draft video to get fans hyped.     It did the job for me     I do agree that, that was just a random comment about a guy(being there at #15) they were actually generally talking about in natural conversations and the sound bite was used there. I don't think it was just a comment made to place at the end intentionally. Whether that guy might be there, or is someone who should no doubt be there is the question, and what should we take from it ending that way    And it might not of even been his idea to put that at the end, but when presented how to end it, agreed this is the best way to get the fans talking about it.     Either way it was a great cliff hanger. Like I said it brought about some conversation, so I think it did it's part.

      The one player you want from this years draft

      I watched the semi final game between Washington and Texas last night and Odunze and Polk just destroyed Texas. Penix had around 400 yards.

      I’ll have to search for Hicks’ break-down.  I hadn’t seen much tape of Bowers until a couple of weeks ago when I watched a highlight reel, and that was very impressive.  I’m just nervous about how hard it seems to be to predict TE success…

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By stitches · Posted

      I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk.

      You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year.
