    McAfee sends out a classy tweet

    I hope we bring him back and this wasn't the last game we saw of him in a Colts uniform but I think the fact the Colts didn't lock him up long term this off-season tells me Grigson is maybe open to going in a different direction at punter and looking at some of the wording in this I think Pat knows it too. 

    Pat McAfee had a self titled show during the season every Monday with Colts affiliated guests. One of the guests was Jim Irsay, who guaranteed that McAfee would be signed long term. I sure hope that is the case as he has been one of the most memorable Colts players this year from the Broncos hit to his Andrew tweet. I really hope that he comes back.

    I think we are a few players away from being able to fully play the type of D we are looking to play. I hope we look at brining in a RG and C in FA. draft a versatile OL in the draft. A big safety as i stated in another thread thats borderline LB size or we look at some of these LB coming out that has Safety experience to play on opposing TEs

    The biggest safety name on the market is Jairus Byrd of Buffalo who has had tremendous years recently but is lacking in size. However Bernard Pollard who is a known Patriot killer (ending the seasons of Welker, Brady and Gronkowski) would make a great addition as he is 6'1 225 in covering some of the tight-ends of the league.

    There are too many threads on this board that begin and end with non-sense. So to any and all people that want to have a genuine discussion (NOT A FIRE EVERYONE PANIC) about the off-season, this is a place where we can start.

     

    Let me start by saying, although I am disappointed with the Pats game, we all have to come to terms with a very simple truth; We were playing with house money all season, more-so after losing Reggie.

     

    We spent the entire pre-season building a two-TE based offense that would feature Dwayne Allen and a power running scheme (that was also based off of Dwayne Allen's blocking ability). We lost Vick Ballard, who looked to really blossom this year. We lost Ahmad Bradshaw, who spent the pre-season really learning our offense. So we were left will a talented but ill-prepared Trent Richardson, and a great running, but poor blocking RB in Donald Brown. 

     

    One of or big free-agent O-line signings, Donald Thomas was lost after a few games, and in come's rookie Hugh Thorton, who has tried very hard all year, but was clearly not ready to start. This only compounded our problems on the line. We have good tackles but poor guards and centers. They played well at times, but for the most part (even when the stats didnt show sacks, they gave up too much pressure) they were sub-standard. 

     

    Then we lose our most reliable play maker on offense in Reggie. His importance obviously cannot be overlooked. So now we have a weakened offense, to go along with our already poor defense.

     

    Overall, I feel like we have a very strong foundation to build on. Next year will be all about the polish.

     

    My number one off-season priority will for sure be upgrading the offensive line. New Center and RG for sure. I want to see these spots filled by VETERAN/ALREADY PROVEN players, NOT rookies. As far as Left Guard goes, im unsure. Is Thomas the answer? I dont know.

     

    On defense, Cornerback, Linebacker, and D-line are musts. The way NE was able to run ALL OVER us, even when we KNEW they were gonna run is mind boggling to me. I still dont understand where the breakdown came from.

     

    But I say we sign at least a RG and C on offense. I would like to sign another corner and maybe a DE to go with Cory.

     

    Im not sure which positions we should draft and which positions we should sign (I guess it kinda depends on what players will be available to us in the draft).

     

    As for the coaches, I DO NOT think we should fire Pep. Give him another year. As for Manusky.........I dont know how I feel. Depends on which coaches are availble I guess.

     

    I would like to hear your thoughts as well. Let's keep it civil and realistic please.

    A DE that we should target is Greg Hardy of Carolina. He had a whopping 15 sacks this season. If he can create trouble for the QB that gives Mathis a greater opportunity to keep on making plays. If Carolina doesn't tag him, he's a must add

    What idiocy is this ?

    How is a writer a reflection of a fan base?

    If that's the case, how 'bout we judge Colt fans by Kravitz?

    Idiocy? how about you look on ESPN and NFL threads on this game and tell me that Patriot fans aren't as arrogant as these writers. Bad writers reflect arrogant fans as much as good writers reflect good fans. Before insult someone, have some sense.
