  1. The Texans game will tell a lot about the remainder of the season, even though it is early.  If the Colts read too many of their clippings, the game can get ugly.  If they can hold them in check and get a win, then we can continue the "Contender" talk.  Lose, and a wildcard is likely your best hope barring any major injury on the Texan's part.  One game at a time, or at least the next game before we get too excited.  :goodluck:

  2. Gruesome looking injury.  Those watching could see his foot was facing the wrong way from where his leg was pointing... not sure if it was ankle or leg or both that went bad.  Big loss, feel bad for him and the Colts!  :Cry:

    pass me the platter.. I am sorry guys I underestimated these men. Good job Colts..

    I'll take a helping, my main target was Eberflus, up to last night i thought he was terrible, needed to go, had the tools and couldn't coach or was way too soft.  He proved different last night, all without all his tools available.  He was aggressive, and played and coached tough.  Keep it up, I'd love to learn to like crow..

    I think I recall Eberflus saying something about running a more vanilla Cover2 scheme last year because so many rookies were playing significant roles in it.

    What happened this week?  Okereke, Ya-Sin, Willis, Speed...

    So many rookies...

    Eberflus is not good... last year we saw the same issues, poor tackling, vanilla defense,no pressure...  he was backed into a corner and finally got more aggressive and dialed up more creative packages.  Same thing this year, and it needs to change or the Colts are doomed to miss the playoffs.  Went into this season after Luck ran away thinking the defense might be able to carry the team, has all the tools.  Eberflus has failed to coach them up or put them in positions to carry the team.

    The pass catchers on this roster weren't effective, I can tell you that...

    Who could be effective when many of the balls were over their heads or blistered into them from 5 yards away.  Yes, the WR's need to catch the ball, but Brissett isn't good at getting to them with touch and in a position to catch it.

    that is a different thread.  this thread is about Jacoby, do you think he was good yesterday?

    Lots of blame for all, Including Eberflus, who has done a poor job as DC.  But the D didn't throw a pick 6, over throw receivers and blister a ball into a WR when it needed touch.

    NFL receivers should catch those footballs.

     

    Brissett is accurate and hitting their hands. That’s what matters.

    Accurate?????  He threw it over the heads of the recivers many times a NO touch...that is on the QB.  Brissett is who we thought is was.... Below the fold when it comes to NFL QB's

    Yea,  I just read mono can be a 3-7 week recovery.  I couldn't believe it!  Who knew an 8th grade kissing disease could be a season killer? 

    Mono in an adult is serious issue, especially for an athlete in a contact sport.  the spleen swells a lot and takes a longer period to reduce back to normal.  He could feel fine but with an enlrged spleen and contact involved in football, he risks a ruptured or lacerated spleen and he'd be done for the year....  Bet his recovery is longer part of 7 weeks.

    They sent him off as he deserved at that moment in time. The fans that booed had every right to do so seeing how Luck behaved the last 2-3 weeks with his falsehoods.  

    However, he is due a much better, much more appreciative for all the things he has done for this team.  However, this is a major wound and is gonna take some time for a lot of fans to get over this. Again, 5-7 years from now.

    Not 100% sure he has done that much, is he involved in the community, very little, not like many others.  In football, he did his job and was paid very well, more then you or I will make likely over our lifetimes.  He never got us to a SB,won a couple of playoff games.  He is the past and time we forget him and move on, he was a visitor, never a community member or leader.

    How long from now will it take for Andrew to sit down for an interview? Any guesses?

    Really not interested in hearing from him.  It will all be Luck speak, same story, blah, blah.  It will all come out someday, but it won't be from Luck.... he is the past and time to forget him and move on, let Luck go spend his money.

  11. But he is keeping the guaranteed bonus money, which he won't complete his contract and therefore not earn.  Granted, soft Irsay isn't going to ask for it back, but if Luck wasn't "taking the money and running" he would give it back without being asked.
