I don't know if the team has collapsed for good. They have had shaky awful games like this before. Losses like that can sting and players could respond to it or they can give up. We've never been quite this bad in the Pags era so ... I don't see more than two games. So 12-4. Maybe Brisset comes out against the Bengals. He has yet to play a full game at a high level.

 

I think Pagano might just retire and go enjoy life. He'll have a winning record still at 53 and 44. Also, an AFC championship game appearance. Not the worst career ever.

Funny how those easy schedules in July aren't too easy come September.

 

I'd venture we catch 1 or 2 teams sleeping and somehow win.

 

5 wins would be my max if I had to pick.

the schedule is weak, the colts just suck

 

 bottom 3 team in the league without luck

We have only beat the two teams that still havent won.  I think if they had a second chance at us, they would beat us.  I am thinking we might win one more when Luck returns.

Don’t think Luck will play if we lose next week.

I hope zero. At this point, the worst thing for the team in the long run is for us to win 5 more games, and in the process lose more players to significant injuries.

 

We need to get 2 TEs on the offensive line all the time, stop letting Brissett take hits, let Gore ascend to within the Top 5 career rush yards. No more injuries, get in position for some high draft picks, and start looking for coaches - not just a replacement, but someone who can energize the offense and get some discipline on defense.

I don’t think we win even with Luck coming back. He’d be rusty and he’d take a beating. 

 

I thought he may, but after the setback and seeing Brissett get sacked 10 times it may not be a good idea.  I literally don't know what to think anymore........

Rest of the schedule predictions: 

 

@ Bengals L

@ Texans L

vs. Steelers L

vs. Titans W

@ Jaguars L

@ Bills L

vs. Broncos L

@ Ravens W

vs. Texans L

 

I have the Colts going 4-12.

I can definitely see this. 

 

Not that it matters, but if it didn't go like this, I could see W (bills) L (Baltimore).

I know. The Rams were so bad last year I did not expect then  to blow out the Colts as bad as they did, even with Luck inactive. The Jets game was supposed to be "easy" but the Jaguars lost there. You never know by the week.

Somehow they'll win 1 more game. 2 max and it'd be against the Bengals and Ravens. And I'm not even super confident they can beat those teams, but they don't have a chance against anyone else on the schedule. A blowout loss to a Jags team that didn't have Fournette. God help us

If the Colts are 3-10 and Luck is able to return the Colts are going to allow him to come back and play in meaningless games?

 

Possibly. . . it would probably be good to give him some games to get the rust off. 

 

Also Coach P. is going to be coaching for his job and he's gonna want his QB in the game for that.

If we end up 2-10 (which I think we could) then coach Pagano will be watching these games at home just like us. 

 

I doubt he survives the season. I will be surprised if Pagano is still the head coach by December. If we lose the next 5 games then we will be 2-10 to close out November.

 

As much as many don't think it will happen; all the signs are pointing to Pagano getting fired in-season.

Irsay doesn't have a history of in-season firings.  Quite frankly I don't see the point in them myself.

Jim irsay has never fired a coach mid season

    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
