I really like AR. He still has far to go, but this game against the Rams had his playmaking ability on full display.
Raimann is our franchise LT. He’s been our best and most consistent lineman through week 4 (well 3, but you know..). Nelson keeps dealing with injuries and it’s kept him from being great.
Kelly has been good, but as per usual keeps getting injured.
Fries is a weak link and Smith has been really disappointing so far.
Our WRs are disappointing. Some of it is how AR is being told to play. Some of it is AR’s accuracy. But, they’re being paid to make the tough catches, not just the easy ones - they NEED to make the tough catches. They leave so many yards on the field.
Our TEs need to be a bigger part of the offense. Ogletree has done nothing but make plays - give him more chances.
Moss is what we needed. I hope him and JT will bring even more juice.
I like our Dline is great when it’s healthy.
Our LBs have been hugely disappointing in coverage and tackles these past couple of weeks.
Our secondary is young, but I expected more from Blackmon at this stage. It’s too early to judge our CBs, but our safties aren’t good enough in my opinion.
I agree with all of your post with the exception of Fries. I think he has played ok but if we get Kelly back to normal and Smith starts to get back to playing better I believe you will see that Fries can hold his own.
As far as the secondary, yes they are very young and loosing Flowers will really hurt but I think Bradley's defense puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the secondary. Maybe a great secondary can hold up when the QB has 5 seconds to find a receiver come open but we sure aren't there yet. We need to blitz a LB or a corner occasionally to take a little pressure of the secondary.
Really like Ogletree and if Woods comes back healthy look out.

It depends a lot on our health. We were pretty banged up this week but still almost won. I would imagine, Raimann and Kelly will be back which will be huge. Also, the big elephant in the room, - is Taylor going to play? Assuming we are healthier, I think we will win this game but it will be close. Colts 24-20. I haven't heard yet but I don't think any of our key players got injured yesterday.

C'mon now 4 games is all you need to see?
I mean I get it but we aren't winning anything this year so I'm fine with him working his way back from a big injury.
I'm not saying I know he's great and he's back, simply how about half a year, maybe three quarters to see if he gets back to himself.
I totally get moving on after the season I just hate the talk about he's toast already.
No doubt the Colts will give him a whole year as they have no choice. But as we saw yesterday they did take him off the field for most of the 2nd half as he is not the best choice we have at his particular position at the present time. He can get better on the practice field but he is a liability now. You say 4 weeks but I hope he was getting in shape and was working in preseason camp. I would think he is in at least his 4th month of rehab/training camp/games.

Lawrence is not a top 10 QB
By your rating? Looked up 5 different ratings and all 5 had him in the top 10. (ESPN,CBS sports, NFL.com, Fox Sports and PFF)

How did Freeland do against LAR?
Frankly I thought he played better than I expected. Yes he couldn't handle Donald but not many can. May have played as well as Raimann did in his first game. Hope he turns out as well as Raimann has.

We use to have a LB named Darius Leonard. He was really good. Would love to have him back but think he is gone for good.

Any updated status AR in regards to whether he will be able to play Sunday? Sorry if I missed it.

I don't know what kind of teammate he is. Right now it seems like his highest priority is getting paid and getting away from the Colts. Everything from the reports I've heard around this whole situation suggests to me that JT was faking/exaggerating an injury and there are serious reports that the Colts believe this to be the case too. The very fact that right after he was left on PUP for the first 4 games, there were reports that JT is surprised that he's left on PUP and that he would have played if the Colts activated him before the season started, confirms to me that what is most likely happening is that he's following the advice and suggestions that NFLPA's execs were floating around IN THE OPEN during the summer - that players use fake/exaggerated injuries to impact contract negotiations.
Read about the NFLPA stuff but never read or heard about him being surprised the Colts put him on the PUP. Colts putting him on PUP you would think plays into the NFLPA's hand. Makes no sense but what do I know.

Very true. But the play where he probably got the concussion isn't likely to change. No one is going to slide when they think they can score.
The hit in the endzone and it causing him to hit his head on the turf is what did it. Kind of hard to train a guy to kneel down once he's scored, but that's the only thing that may have prevented it.
He did slow up when he was at about the 5 or 6 yard line thinking he could almost walk in from there. I don't know if he didn't see the safety or he felt the safety would let up but that definitely could have been prevented if he would have not slowed up. Something he will definitely learn.

I feel like if we don't trade him he will fake another injury or just refuse to play even with the slightest of discomfort...
I don't know JT but from everything I heard in the past he was a great teammate. You give me the impression that you think he is a conniver and has no regard for his team but only about himself. Sorry if you feel this way but my impression of JT is entirely different. Yes he wants to get paid more but I don't think he would jeopardize his career in this way.

Now that it appears that Richardson and Kelly are a go for Sunday I am ready to predict!
Colts 24-17

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler disagrees. Who knows till next week. Could he be traded while on PUP? If so you would think he traded by now.

Going by the record would be simply....The Standings.
They do these rankings to take a deeper look into the wins and losses. I think they are trying to evaluate the teams as they are going to be in the immediate future. Since our 2 wins have come with our QB that will be riding the bench, its kind of hard to say that our ranking is much different than how the season started, IMO.
I think HOU has clearly gotten better each week with the major players that comprise their team going forward.
So Richardson gets no credit for the 2 TDs he scored in the 1st quarter against Houston? They were up 14-7 when he went out. In the next 3 quarters we only scored 17 points. I give Minshew a lot of credit but not 100.

Name another kicker that did what Gay did today
What does that have to do with JT. One is a RB and the other is a kicker. It's apples and oranges.

Makes sense now doesn't it
Not really, I think Taylor contributed to winning games for the Colts in the past. Both dare good players at their respective positions. I think this is a rather foolish issue.

Based on PFF's grades. Leonard had 3 Tackles and 3 Assists. 0 Missed tackles.
According Bleacher Report he had 2 solos and 5 assists. Maybe that extra solo made him great.

How do they give Leonard good tackling?😂 He had two solos and was on skates all day. Basically fell on some assists.
Sorry but he gave him great tackling. I agree with you with you the great tackling doesn't make sense to go along with " Bad run defense and coverage. Below average pass rush." He ended up with 2 solos.

We had 3 free agents yesterday we picked up in the off season in Gay, Minshew and Ebukam that were very key in the game.

Anyone else notice in the 4th Quarter when the Ravens were driving to win the game Lamar gets sacked and they stopped the clock to review. Are they not supposed to have a 10 second run-off after that or charge they Ravens with a timeout?
Instead they added 8 seconds onto the clock

Making that much money though he had to get back to himself. You don’t pay a guy that much for 7 tackles. We can get more then that from Franklin and speed.
Seven tackles but only 2 solos.
