Wow, thought it'd be fun to go to the week 1 game. A little pricey for my taste.
-
Just saw on Twitter via NFL that the Texans are trying hard to trade that 1st pick.
Here's the link to the story: http://t.co/PCNPp0r3dY

We need to run the ball, it's not a mystery, not a theory, it's a fact. Especially as Pep continues to grow as a coordinator, and is able to become more creative and unpredictable with his playcalling. I think this offense has the ability to be one of the most dangerous in the league, but not without a balanced attack.
-
Players in the NFL get away with far worse crimes. It's a shame, and it'll be a dark period in Irsay's life, but that's about it.
-
As far as I'm concerned, a receiver corps is only as good as the QB. That being said, I think we're in the top 5 easily.
-
I'd like the playcalling to be more consistent on the offensive side of the ball, attacking the opposing team's weaknesses, whether it be through the air or on the ground. I think Pep found his groove late last season, and I hope for that to be the norm come week 1.
On the defensive side, I hope we are healthy enough and have the right pieces in place to dial up some more exotic formations against the pass, and stop the run a little more consistently. I saw our D have great games last year, but a lot of duds in between those outings. This is the 3rd year in the 3-4, so I expect to see some improvement, especially with the $$$ we have invested.
-
I've been following the Fake account for about a week now. It's funny because the real Wells even chimes in sometimes, and doesn't seem at all offended by the lightheartedness of the whole thing.
-
I'm sure we are chipping away at a deal for a center. Costa is no way a starting center, more of a depth guy for Right Guard probably. Just give it a little longer and we will see something happen!
That's what I was thinking. I'm not even sure Costas is a lock to make the 53 man roster.
-
Dwayne Allen coming back, plus the possibility of a Mack signing, could actually make a vast improvement.
-
Broncos are going all in because Elway knows Manning has 2 years left, maximum. Plus when Manning leaves, it'll open up huge cap space for them, so all these signings make a ton of sense for them.

A rb with neck issues... What can go wrong
Thank you for not making me say that first. The guy is held together by medical tape at this point, and that's not a knock on him, but he took a beating while with the Giants. Not rooting against him, I'd be glad to have him prove me wrong.
-
'Glad we have him, just wish it was cheaper'? Everyone wishes everything was cheaper, get over it. If we'd tagged him and waited until next year to sign, with another cap increase, he'd be getting 11-12mil per year I'm guessing.
-
Nah remember, Mr. Grigson should've been fired midseason with Pagano & Pep Hamilton
Right?
-
It should also be noted that he was going up against the other teams second best WR...and that he had several penalties against him due to getting burned...and also that he's a gimp. But ya he does have the only giving up 2 TD thing goin for him I suppose...
He had a pulled groin, which is one of the trickiest injuries to get past. I didn't have any issues with him prior to his injury.
-
Since we didn't win a Super Bowl. We wasted a 2nd round pick. If we didn't make that trade we could have drafted Eddie Lacy, therefore we would still have our 1st this year.
Eh, he panned out about as well as a lot of 2nd round picks. He had a couple good seasons. That's assuming of course he's in fact leaving and signing with someone else. And I'm not sure Eddie Lacey would've been the stud he was in Green Bay running behind our o-line.
-
I see a lot of people keep saying we need to address the WR position. why is that?
Wayne
Hilton
Rogers
Whalen
Brazill
(Fleener) <<< he could be used in the slot position at times with his size and speed.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with our WR's. but if we had to sign one, I would like for us to sign Devin Hester. he could help in the ST's department, and he could be a deep threat for us. decent hands, great speed. put him and Hilton on the field together, who does the other team put their fastest DB on the most? or could leave Wayne open at times also.
That being said, WR is not one of our " biggest needs ". prefer us to shore up our interior line and defense before thinking about WR's. not unless somehow we were able to trade up into one of the top 5 picks and draft Sammy Watkins. which def. wont happen.
I'm in full agreement. We have a great QB and that TE tandem of Allen/Fleener is going to open things up big time, in the running game and the passing game. While it's tempting to bring a Decker, Nicks, Sanders type guy in just because we have the money, I would truly prefer to drop big money on the best center available.
-
He's not gonna get a big money multi-year deal at this point in his career. I wouldn't be surprised if the Colts FO allowed him to field offers from other teams, then make him an offer that's similar.
-
All of that talent and speculation is pretty much wasted until major upgrades are made at Center and R Guard!
I will save my high expectations until I see that done.
Just Saying...
While true, I'm leaning towards the expectations/excitement being warranted. With the Satele release, it's obvious (to me anyways) they realized that the interior OL was a major soft spot. I see a HUGE upgrade at center coming. RG I'm not sure as sure about though...
-
So what does everyone think Grigson's plan will be?
-
looks like the Colts are overpaying FA's again...
Roughly 3 mil a year and people are already complaining. Why am I not surprised?
-
Born in Indy, grew up in Lawrenceburg, graduated from University of Indianapolis. Probably went full on Colts fan my junior year of college (99-00), never looked back. Now that I live in Colorado, I still make sure I watch every game.
-
Right. I don't put much stock into SOS, especially this early after the season. I just saw the link on ESPNs site, and figured the Colts would be middle of the pack. I definitely didn't expect them to be #32, so I thought it was interesting.
-
Does anyone really believe in offseason SOS lists?
-
Sorry if anyone else has posted this already. Not sure how I feel about having the "easiest" schedule...
Everything Trent Richardson

That kind of clear headed optimistic thinking will get you ridiculed in these parts. Everyone here is a football expert and knows for a fact that Trent Richardson will never be a good player.
