When did Deepak Chopra start posting?
!!! You mental giants are hilarious! -
I mean I watched both games. If they did look at the game plan they apparently decided to do exactly the same thing on defense. If you are prepared then that doesn't happen, and if it does you should be able to make adjustments. They looked lost.
OK. If thats your opinion, I respect that.

Working in the mental health field for over 10 years qualifies me to diagnose new age crap thanks.
Your post is filled with philosophical nonsense, and not related to any empirical proof, or anything that has to do with what took place on Sunday night.
If placebo "good vibes" help you. More power to you. But it's not grounded in science or fact.
Yada Yada...10 years in the mental health field with nothing to show for it as opposed to someone that's a highly decorated veteran for over 20 years in the United states Military serving with such professional leaders and winners as the SEAL team and Marines. You make your obvious insecurities even more transparent by trying to make your argument scientific and suggesting someone needs "empirical proof" in a fan forum. If you want to feel like a man by trying to disprove my point, go right ahead, dude. I served to give people like you the right to do so. Gung Ho

Who is getting the ax?
Whalen may get demoted or cut. I know he's a fan favorite, but its the logical choice.

The amount of "new age" nonsense in this post in off the charts.
Well, I take it that you have achieved tremendous success in whatever you do without having any mental belief that you can make it happen. I would be honored to know your assessment of how you know of a means to have performed 'over your head' in life. Care to share that with the masses?

For me at least Coby has always been equal to or above DA but Jack's role will change
So, he gets a pass on all the dropped passes in the past as compared with Allen then, 'for you', I gather.

They were prepared for NE aerial assault but I don't think they watched any film on their ground game.
Dude. Are you serious? You mean to tell me that YOU BELIEVE that this Colts staff didn't have sense enough to look at the exact game plan that the Patriots used against them just the last time that same team used it against them successfully in the PLAYOFFS and try to prepare for that?

I haven't been able to find the tweets, but I know I didn't imagine them. They could have been deleted.
And my criticism with Kravitz is that he's being sensational to rile up Colts fans. A measured response would be to say "The Colts haven't beaten any of the AFC's elite, so they can't be called elite." His entire article was a rip job, not only of the Colts staff, but with some digs at Colts fans, as well. Like I said earlier, I don't think very highly of his work, going back for some years.
Wells is a whole 'nother story. I don't think he's good at his job, and I don't think he really understands football or the NFL. I don't think he has an agenda, but again, I don't think highly of his work, either.
This is all just IMO, not gospel.
As for where the Colts stand, let's just say that giving up nearly 100 points combined to the Steelers and Patriots over the span of a month doesn't bode well for us. We got beat in the air by one team, on the ground by another. And our offense has taken some steps backward. We're clearly better than below average or average teams, and I think we'll win pretty consistently against slightly above average teams also, like the Ravens and Bengals. But the very best in the AFC -- Denver and New England, in particular -- are tough for us to beat. I don't know why that's surprising, given how young this iteration of the Colts is, and I certainly don't think it's an indictment of anyone in the organization. It just is what it is. We need to be at our very best to beat the very best. Those teams beat up on each other, as well.
And there's always the uncertainty that the future holds. Any team can lose on any given Sunday. We're not the Raiders. Last year's team wasn't as good as this year's team, and that team beat all the heavyweights, except New England (that includes three of the four conference finalists). So even if we have some roster flaws, and even though we got run over last night, the season isn't over. There may be a cold, mid-January night where this team establishes previously unknown heights for itself, and then all bets are off.
OK, let me take issue with the last part of that statement. Everything else was logical and evenhandedly done, Nice job. But, what makes you feel this team has a possible cold, mid-January night where they establish previously unknown heights for themselves, IN them? a lot of people don't understand how much this game is mental. This team isn't mentally tough enough to be considered elite yet. Only a great motivation, counseling, and psychological specialist with a knowledge of football can make over this team from a mental standpoint. Think about this fact: No matter WHAT regime is usually intact for the Colts organization, for YEARS, the knock on the Colts is that its a "soft" team. This is football. How can that be?
Soft is a perception. And only a mental battle against that perception can give this team a makeover that turns them into this Monster that Chuck talks about. We say glimmers of it against the Bengals, so its in them to do consistently. But, they have to BELIEVE that they already ARE the monster, not beginning to see it. The COACHES cant tell the team, we're seeing the head of the baby, the BABY/MONSTER is already here, alive and kicking STRONG! The moral of the story, its more mental than most people understand. I used to hang out some with Navy SEALS and Marine Recon guys during my time in the Military and they used to say that kind of thing all the time.

I agree -- Z. Tipton was on our 53 man roster way early on in the season and got moved to the P.S. when some injuries forced us to alter the initial 53. I think our staff is high on him, and personally I think he'll be fine in the system. His biggest concern, IMO, is staying healthy but he is a bruiser with some speed, I think he fits right in.
He won't get a chance to show his skills if he doesn't have a more mentally tough offensive line to block for him.

It's not motivation, it's preparation.
The Colts were prepared. They just couldn't execute mentally. They didn't believe they could get the prepared plan done or they would have. Its as simple as that.

We definitely got outcoached in this game again.
Here's the Deal from my perspective. This game is indicative of one thing that remains constant in Colts/Patriots matchups. Its belief. The Patriots just believe that they will work harder, hit harder, outplay the Colts every time they play. Even in the Colts victories, they usually come very hard fought, and very SELDOM do the Colts just kick the Patriots butt like the Patriots always seem to do to the Colts. Its mental now. No matter who lines up against the Colts, they turn into world beaters and look like Walter Peyton against this team because of a belief system that Bill B. instills in his team. There is NO way that this team should systematically destroy ANY Colts team, no matter who's playing every year unless its mental.
The Colts hope they'll beat the Patriots, while the Patriots BELIEVE they will always beat the Colts. And that's on the coaching staff. Every time I see this going on, I realize that Bruce Arians is the ONLY coach that the Colts have had in recent years that can change their BELIEF system. Chuck P is a nice guy and all, but he has NO clue about motivation outside of the usual cliches. Hes trying his best and I wish him well, but he has failed miserably to motivate this team properly to perform at the level of greatness required to change the mindset of this team, The same teams that have owned us in the past STILL own us. Steelers, Patriots, etc. And these are the teams we have to go through. Trust me, the Steelers will be there at the end. And we aren't even competitive with these teams on the road and against the Patriots, at home either.
So, if the team can understand that they don't have to fire any body or do anything drastic, this wasn't about preparation or the lack thereof. They have to understand the power of the mind to do great things. Because that's the only solution to this beat-down the Patriots consistently give the Colts. The mental determines the physical. The coaches cant go in saying that they think the Monsters being built, they have to KNOW the Monster is already there waiting to be unleashed EVERY Sunday. Just like Morpheus said to Neo in the Matrix....you cant think you are the best, you have to KNOW you are...believe. The Colts have got to let go of fear, doubt and disbelief. Only great coaching can do that and unfortunately, the guy that can do that, in my opinion, is now in Arizona.

I agree 100% percent, the Pagano vs Bellicheck, is by far the biggest mismatch on the field, everytime we play the Pats. I like Pagano to. but we will not win very many chess matches, against the opposing coaching staffs. Pagano seems like a very good man and guys want to play for him, but when it comes to X&O's we are at a bid disadvantage, especially against Bellicheck.
Bellicheck seems to prefer playing the Colts, because he believes that he can out physical the Colts, and like you said it's a mental thing, he has no doubt that he can beat the Colts, and the Colts hope they can beat the Pats, it's not enough for him to beat the Colts, he wants to humiliate and embarrass the Colts, total domination. I don't think Bill feels he has to run the ball to beat us, we have no pass rush, they would have whipped us throwing the ball too. Brady had all the time he needed to pick us apart, it's just so much more satisfying for him to just run it down our throat and humiliate us.
I agree with everything you said, and yes Bruce Arians is the one coach who could have changed that, he gave this team a fear nobody attitude. This is a "mental thing", and unfortunately, I don't think coach Pagano is the coach that can change this. This blowout was on our home field, with no running game or pass rush, are there any Colts fans out there who really believe we can go to New England, Denver, or Pittsburgh in January and not get completely blown out.
Amen, brother...Amen. Its not rocket science, although its too deep for the average * to comprehend. This staff needs less *s.

Heck, Even Whalen deserves some reps over Nicks.
Seriously? 3 TD's for Nicks and a guy that hasnt done anything productive this year should be starting over him??
-
the colts talent level is average as a team because of some weak spots.below average talent on a weak o-line on run blocking and pass blocking; below average talent at pass rush,a very serious weak spot. below average talent at run stuffing either system, coaches or players or all of those. with these weak spots and talent level we may squeak into the playoffs because of a weak division, but I for one predict 1 and done. to compete against the top teams we need huge talent upgrades

These players(at least in my opinion)don't believe in Pagano. Like myself, they probably all think he's a nice guy and a good coach, but he's not a great one. Pagano is not a leader of men and I think if we don't get it done in a year or two he'll be gone.

Can't argue with that.
Two teams coming off a bye. No excuses. Colts at home. Shame in front of the home town crowd and shame in front of a national audience. I don't want to hear about loyalty or bleeding blue or the 24 hour rule. I've been witnessing this crap for over 20 years and I am sick of it. Big name players with a crap result. We'll win the 6 divisional games and a few against middle of the road teams to make the playoffs and then after our confidence is good and high, a real team will play us and show us what we were really about. "Bring the noise" ha, bring a team worth cheering for. Advertised all week for the let down performance. What was being done during the bye week? Did we even study the Patriots? How did the Colts not gain a sense of urgency after the first Patriot drive? Should Harrison be the starting center? How can we have better ball security when we are in "sure points" range. Most won't admit this but Luck throws a lot of picks when the Colts are in field goal range. Why can't the line block well enough to get 2 yards on 3 plays. What part of the D is having trouble stopping the run? Is it one guy, 2 guys, scheme, not enough guys in the box? Will Darius Butler ever have consistency? Wow Jerry Hughes is doing well for the Bills, what ever happened to Kelvin Sheppard? I think I would have rather seen Brady light us up than to watch a no-name rush for a career game on us. Seems all too often that someone has a career day on us. How about Big Ben putting up 6 TDs on us. Vontae got hurt and the whole ship went down. It was easy for everyone to get over because we played the bum Giants the following week. The Colts will smash Jacksonville next week and everyone will go back to pretending like the problems have been corrected. It really sucks knowing that our only hope at winning anything in the post season, is if some mediocre team can knock of both the Patriots and the Broncos. We clearly have no chance at beating either one of those teams on the road.
Look. This is the deal. This game is indicative of one thing that remains constant in Colts/Patriots matchups. Its BELIEF. The Patriots just believe that they will work harder, hit harder, outplay the Colts every time they play. Even in the Colts victories, they usually come very hard fought, and very SELDOM do the Colts just kick the Patriots butt like the Patriots always seem to do to the Colts. Its mental now.

The Colts hope they'll beat the Patriots, while the Patriots, to a man, BELIEVE they will always beat the Colts. And that's on the coaching staff. Every time I see this going on, I realize that Bruce Arians is the ONLY coach that the Colts have had in recent years that can change their BELIEF system. make these guys say, no more, we're NOT laying down and taking being these guys * ONE MINUTE LONGER. Chuck P is a nice guy and all, but he has NO clue about motivation outside of the usual cliches.

Forgive me for wanting the Colts to close out games on defense. I'm wanting this defense to finish the year as a top 10 defense. That can't happen with opposing offenses doing late drives on us with ease.
Good on ya, man. I agree with that assessment. Great defensive teams still keep their hands on the other guys throats till the whistle blows. But, the Colts have done this for years, so we should be used to it. A dominating performance from start to finish was the tease they gave us against the Bengals. But not to worry, another blue moon is in the forecast.
-
I've never said Whalen is the answer but I also don't think that it's necessarily true that Nicks wouldn't be here, regardless, since Whalen is still young and progressing. Everything else I can agree with. I'd love to see Nicks perform but I'm losing more confidence every week when he continues to be invisible. I was ecstatic when we signed him. I'm extremely surprised and disappointed at how poorly it's gone for him here thus far.
I agree with that statement 100%. I felt hed stretch the field even more for the rest of the guys at least in a few cases. Hopefully, it works out. Maybe, He just needs to work harder with Luck now that teams may not deal with him as a serious threat and give him a little more room.
-
Logic in the sense that he doesn't miss anyone even close to as much as he misses Nicks. Even the rookie Moncrief is on the same page with Luck and he's been here less time than Nicks.
We really don't know what has transpired between Nicks and Luck off the field in trying to get better chemistry so that's a moot point.
The comment I made about Luck demanding that Nicks gets to practice with him more has to do with how they deal with the future, going forward. That kind of leadership will reap great dividends. If Nicks comes around as a viable third wide receiver, (Moncrief being number two if Reggie cant go), the upside can be huge. When Peyton had Marvin, Reggie AND Brandon Stokely stretching defenses back in the day, our offense was about the most dangerous at the time. Imagine if we got more production from the Nicks/Luck tandem and still getting what we're getting now from the number one offense in the league. As I said before, if Whalen was the answer, Nicks wouldnt even be on the squad.
-
We got Nicks because he said "I would like to play with Luck or Newton" before he wasn't in the hook of Grigson(he was but i think he wasn't his first choice) i think that statement made Grigson bring him here, we were happy about that but the truth was that he was playing poorly and lazy, he has a good set of tools that's all. We should give Whalen playtime he isn't exceptional but he can catch and move the chains some throws to Nicks were high but he could reach them i mean if you don't jump or just don't try to catch it's your fault i think Luck has overthrow many passes to Wayne, but he gets those because he try to catch every ball no just the ones to his hands.
Yeah, but did you see Steeler receivers having to jump and expose themselves for passes? Look, Andrew was under duress yesterday. He had some poor throws. But, you cant always blame the receivers when its the quarterbacks responsibility to get them the ball where they need to have it. Saying that Nicks was the whole problem only half covers it.
-
He hasn't missed anyone else even a fraction of the times he has missed Nicks this year. That tells me it's probably more on Nicks.
What kind of logic is that? If the quarterback misses getting the ball to the receiver, its the receivers fault? If the receiver isn't where hes supposed to be, he wont be on the team long. Maybe the chemistry isn't there. That's a leader like Lucks responsibility to demand that Nicks gets to practice with him more to get the chemistry better. Thats what great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning does. There needs to be more balance on the blame game than to make Nicks the scapegoat all the time.
!!! You mental giants are hilarious!

Well, the picture was for credibility's sake. But, when you dont respect someones opinion or what credentials they have, everything is just an opportunity to denegrate. Appreciate the welcome aboard, guys, thanks!
