I like Pittman and I'm fine if he stays but I've always said we could do better. My opinion probably isn't popular but I stand on it.
Do better? We need his talent and 2 more like him to be a real contender. Most top contenders have as many as 3 good options at WR (excluding KC). He is our best and a good receiver but is not at the top of WR in the league.

The same 'fans' in here bashing Freeland were the same ones bashing Raimann last year. Freeland is learning on the fly just like Raimann last year and will be just fine with some more strength and conditioning work.
Witt, cut from the same cloth as Raimann and Freeland has been sitting on the IR all year for his redshirt season doing the same - strength and conditioning, practice reps and film work.
The starting 5 are fine, injuries aside, and the line is a top 5 line in the league and will likely stay that way. Depth is needed on the interior.
I wasn't a Raimann basher last year and don't feel I am bashing Freeland to say he hasn't look good the last few games. Hope everyone is back and playing great next year but I am concerned about the future of Kelly and Smith. Nothing would please me more than to see both back next year and playing at pro bowl caliber level.

Take your time AR. Don't want you throwing too soon and have a setback.

It's not that he hasn't assembled any, it's that he missed on a bunch with 2nd rounders before hitting. It took a while.
May be your opinion but may have said he missed period and should have gone for the Washington DE or draft one early this year.

Hope you're right about Kelly. He makes a difference when he is out there but I know he has a slew of concussions and they brought home the twins which they were soo happy to have.
Smith is good when out there but as the saying goes, "The best ability is availability." Hope they are both back at full strength.
-
Have a gut feeling we will need to be replacing both Kelly and Smith next year. Hope not but seems Kelly for sure and Smith has been very non-productive this year for what we are paying him. Freeland has been disappointing the last few games. We just can't seem to keep guys healthy.

Been busy this week and haven't read this whole thread but has the penalty on Nelson on the TD that was called back been mentioned? To me I thought it was a bad call.

Yes. This situation seems a little weirder. Sam hasn't even gotten a chance to be a villain....outside of two games last year where he could not be the savior. The villain in the Commanders game was Gilmore blowing coverage on a hail mary-ish TD throw, and Pittman missing an easy catch of a perfectly thrown NFL pass.
But, after pointing out this Obvious, I'll be forever labeled a "Sam Lover"
Sam lover!😠

Haven't wavered. Made mistakes but who hasn't. Very steady demeaner.

You played in the NFL?
No. I played so long ago that my first helmet in Junior High was a leather helmet with no face mask. You could fold it up and put in in your locker, I did graduate to plastic helmets with face masks in HS. That was the end of my FB career and only played baseball in college. To give you an idea of how long ago that was I will be going to my 62nd HS class reunion next June. I have been a diehard FB fan ever since then, however.

Nope… it’s basically considered a safety, even though it’s not called one. Google it
It’s been worth 2 points FOREVER. At least a decade now
September 18 of 2016 I just read. NO blocked the first that counted for 2 pts against Carolina. According to that article prior to that when the team that blocked the Xtra pt recovered it was a dead ball. Actually think it was 2015 when rule was changed and NO was the 1st team to score 2 pts in Dec. of 2016

I just looked it up. According to Google, a blocked extra point returned for the defense is 2 points. I stand corrected.
Guess I do also. Used to be 1 when I played.

No it’s a td if it’s a blocked extra point returned.
No. A blocked FG would count as a TD.

Wait...if it was an extra point it would only count as one point, so wouldn't the return only be one point?
Yes unless they changed the rules lately.

Loved the 2 4th down calls to Pittman and MAC. Most innovative play calls we have seen from the Colts in years.
Pittman had a great day and I was somewhat please with Pierce for a change.
Franklin and Speed both had bad days.
Need Steward bad badly.

That's an interesting conjecture. You might be right, but I kind of feel like the more likely scenario is - this is just what Steichen is like and he probably won't change much in his relationship with the media. He will probably continue doing the bare minimum in a "I'm here so I don't get fined" manner, but honestly... I don't care much. Would it be good to get some insight on his thoughts about the offense? Sure... but if the offense is working, this IMO is the most important thing. There are plenty of analysts who understand the game well enough to explain stuff to us if there is hunger to delve into Colts offense minutiae... at least I hope so...
Why there are several on here that can do that for us. One needs to look no further.

My gracious! Where is 2006? May be grieving too much to post yet, just kidding😉, but miss your input. 250 posts so far and none from you buddy.

So, do you think fans won't regret losing him. He may improve. I can see him going to the Eagles or Cowboys and performing well.
Were fans upset about losing Okereke? I saw him play at Met Life Stadium earlier this year. He was all over the field making plays.
I won't regret it but would be very happy for Leonard even though I am glad we have moved on. It was time and things seemed to be going down fast.

Well…. Those facts aren’t clear to PFF. They have Shaq graded comfortably higher than both Franklin and Speed. I think it’s roughly 6-8 points better for Shaq.I know what you are saying but I find PFFs rating puzzling. Thru 9 games that each has played Franklin has 117 tackles to Shaq's 65, 63 solo's to 29, 1 1/2 sacks to Shaq's 0 and 2 FF to Shaq's 0. I know Franklin has played more but if he played twice as much you would think Franklin was every bit as effective and to me he was much more effective as I Leonard was very ineffective most of the time. Just my opinion as I know PFF ratings has been questioned several time and I don't understand how they do there rating. Very unconventional I might add.

My guess: Leonard clears waivers and then sits out the rest of the season after signing to the Bears practice squad.
Flus will believe he can fix him Reich and Wentz style.
Doubt Flus will be there next year.

I didn't think he fit Gus scheme well. Might do better if you get him back in the cover 2 at Will like he used to be. Eberflus may give him another shot. Or another 2 deep squad. There was no room for him. The two starters are healthier and playing better than him.
When you run around and avoid contact I don't think you fit anyone's scheme. I have heard so much that it's Bradley's scheme but whose scheme would he fit in playing as he has been all year?

Venturi tells the truth
in Colts Football
Posted
I like Rick and got to know him from the gym we both belonged. Good guy to talk to and knows football. I haven't listened to the to the podcast but from the early comments I read I have concluded,(1) Rick has a vendetta with Bradley of some kind and (2) I don't agree that he as a Colt color man on some Colt broadcasts should be so critical of any player or coach publicly to the extent he appears to be.
Do I think we could do better at DC, yes but we could also do worse. Unfortunately our DBs are more cover 2 or zone guys which Bradley wanted for his D and most are not the best at man coverage in my uneducated opinion and we would have to adapt to man coverage till we replaced our current DBs. Seems that Steichen is pleased or Bradley would be gone.
