Douzer Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 All these young players need to learn how to win now, today, not next year, or some other time. Champions aren't built by losing all the time so you can have lots of draft picks. I'm glad they're learning how to face adversity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my place to do that. But I feel some people would rather be right, than have the Indy win. If as a fan, you want the team to tank, so we could get a good pick, that's fine. But I still want to see my team make an effort to win a game. They did today, and looked pretty good (from what I saw) doing. GG Colts. Keep it going next week.

All of these teams are better than us and have much more leeway. It is usually about who is hot and healthy when the playoffs start. If we can continue to correct/minimize our mistakes, the worst football we've seen the Colts play this season should be behind us. Luck threw for >350 today without his 2nd and 3rd best WRs and without his #1 TE. These guys should all be coming back soon, and there is no reason to think with just those additions, that we will be a better team than we saw today. The young guys on our OL have improved every week, and our run game looks to actually be OK the past couple of weeks (something we haven't been able to say for years). If we get healthy, keep improving, and continue to minimize our mistakes, there is no reason we can't play with any team in this league. You're right, pretty much any team needs to play mistake free to win in the playoffs. There is no reason why anyone who is a Colts' fan should not be rooting for us to get there.

TKnight24 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I just don't see how so many on this forum are calling for tank mode or hoping we lose ANYTHING can happen if you make the playoffs. It's really a 2nd season. Seahawks made it at 7-9 and knocked off the Saints. Have some faith folks, sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still making stupid plays on O and D. We won against a terrible QB who had no touch or throws dumpoffs at 100 mph that usually off or bounce off his guys incomplete. Kudos to you, but that for me personally is a hollow win that shows me nothing. We probably won't beat many other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Owen Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 O-line looked good, Luck made quicker decisions, Doyle was awesome. TY was TY, Gore did the job he was meant to do, the D-line did ok most of the game. Missed tackles, Dropped passes, and PI calls (though i think some were obsurd, like the T.J. Green/ Davis one) and McNary's asinine Personal foul on Walker need to be cleaned up. Over all we did ok. We were helped a LOT by Mariota's horrible accuracy though.

ColtfreakDVA Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 In a season of "what if's": If the D could have held the lions at end of game and not give up the FG If we didnt have a turnover at end of game and beat the Broncos If vs Jags, we dont call that play 4 and 1, we win. If VS Texans our D doesnt self implode up 2 scores under 2 mins. If we won only 1 or 2 of those games we are in first place. That's all with the horrendous D and OL still finding itself. If only our D was a little better we would have been undefeated to this point...smoke and mirrors style. Don't remember a team like this before.

There are no guarantees that Grigson will make the correct pick if we have a better position in the draft. As it is, first round picks are a 50/50 shot at making an impact. Unless there is a "Suck for Luck" type of scenario, winning is always better. The ideal is that we lose so many games, Grigson won't even be around to make the next pick. Higher draft slot and the chances of firing Pagano and Grigson are much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Owen Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 For those thinking tanking is the way to go..think on this,... You start tanking on purpose, you run the very REAL risk of forgetting how to actually play to win. Yes, you get a decent pick, But seriously, how much good does that do when your team gets USED to loosing? Keep playing hard,..win what you can win, draft who you need, and continue to play tough and stay on top of your game. That is the formula to win long term,...not tank now..hope for better later. Plus tanking for a draft pick is the same as a boxer taking a fall for a big payday. You want the rest of the NFL and their fans to see YOUR team as such?....REALLY?

I certainly don't watch the Colts and hope they lose but I also don't find myself that excited with wins either. There are still too many issues with the Colts to get me excited about them this season. It's like if someone makes $40K a year and receives a $1,000 bonus but has $100K+ in Student Loans/Credit Card debt. The bonus is nice but it isn't a solution to the huge problem...it just makes the person overlook the issues in the short term. I think that, at times, the excitement with getting a higher draft pick can be overrated for NFL teams. High picks in the NFL draft is not nearly as important as having high picks in say the NBA draft. The positive outcome that I can see with losing is that it prompts Irsay to make some needed changes. I really don't have confidence that, even with the right talent and a healthy roster, that Chuck is the head coach you want for the best chance at winning the Superbowl.

Its not like we all want to tank every year when we lose. Just this year because of our bad our d is and how much better we could get with a much better draft position!

WoolMagnet Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We REALLY need a "negative nancies" thread for all these glass-empty doom and gloom types. some things never change around here. Not even when we pull out a gutsy win with all the injuries. We got hosed by the refs too. Ghost interference calls, and can anyone tell me the difference between McNary's hit on Walker and the hit on Street? And Streets spike bounced right to the ref, so there was NO delay of game. The calls seemed kinda one-sided. did anyone see that special on how baseball umps call balls and strikes "looser" for home teams? I'm sure it's the same in the NFL if someone did the study.

No. But I remember a Colts team in '95 who had NO SHOT of even sniffing the playoffs, let alone making it to the AFC Championship game.
