  1. Well there is the draft. And there is the potential that Richardson is who they thought, which if it turns out to be true, will make them better. And free agency is not over. On the flip side, are we sure that the teams that signed all those free agents are better than they were last year? Not trying to battle with you here - but the roster building is not done yet.
  2. Something about a pot and kettle feels appropriate here.
  3. Or it could not, which the far, far, far more likely result.
  4. 1) Free Agency isn’t over yet 2) The draft has not happened yet 3) I’d bet an awful lot of money that once they do sign and / or draft DB or two, you will be on here chastising people for not waiting on the process to play out as I’ve never seen someone argue both sides of something as you do, often within the same thread.
  5. For the love of all that Holy… In other words, Dear God We are less than 48 hours into the new league year. There is still a wee bit of time to add to the position group.
  6. I am 56. We got a very late start on becoming parents with an 8 and 10 year old. But it is glorious that we can go to bed the same time as our kids at 8:30.
  7. Thanks. I honestly did not know that. I am old.
  8. Ha. My phone is well past time for an upgrade and I am waiting as long as possible to make a change for precisely the password reason.
  9. What exactly is Tannehill going to prove at this point?
  10. That is 100% backwards. Kenny Moore is not the domino to fall that they are waiting on.
  11. I believe you are setting yourself up for disappointment yet again.
  12. I think Penix bombs in the NFL. Nice college player but I just don’t think his game translates. Just my opinion
  13. Likewise. I just think that Venturi is credible and his opinions on Bradley are 1) not new and 2) spot on. I know his record as a coach / coordinator is not great but doesn’t mean he does not know the game. I am a casual fan and can see the Colts D is easy to play against. Look at how bad the stats are and how mediocre the QBs they played against were.
  14. I am going to try to disagree without being disagreeable because we’ve been on this site together for a long time and have always gotten along. But I really just disagree. I mentioned in another thread that I have a very distinct memory of Venturi talking about Bradley’s D when he was the Head Coach in Jacksonville as a high school scheme. It is not just a personnel issue. How many times did you see a tight end go 5 yards down field turn around and catch 3rd down conversion pass? The short answer is too damn many. And that is at the heart of the defense against their starting LBs. The ease of which offenses convert 3rd and forever this year is remarkable. That is not simply personnel. And I think minimizing Venturi’s thought because his poor record is short sighted as well. He spent 40 years in the league - he has credibility. And when making the case against Bradley’s D, he has stats on his side as well. Complete nonsense.
  15. I had no issue with the play call because after his long touchdown run, Houston had effectively shut down Taylor (and he was hurt). They were in 4th and 1 largely because his effectiveness was not the same later in the game.
  16. As I was walking out of the game on Saturday night and overheard a conversation with someone lamenting the play and that Taylor was not in the game to “at least be a decoy.” The play worked. It was WFO. There no need for Taylor as a decoy. They just did not execute it. I personally had no issue with the personnel / play call decision which to me means you live with the result. I believe most became ticked at the decision when the result was a dropped pass.
  17. We are one step closer to this becoming reality.
  18. I recall Rick Venturi calling Bradley’s defense a high school scheme when he was the HQ in Jacksonville.
  19. Not one single chance this happens. But sure - let’s discuss.
  20. Who is deciding what’s reasonable?
  21. I once debated with a co-worker who would have rather the Colts lose in the AFCCG than to lose in the Super Bowl. For the life of me I could not understand that logic. The two weeks leading up to the big game are awesome, damn near magical. That is two more weeks of fun, of having something to look forward to - to have hope. And as Andy Dufresne said to Red in The Shawshank Redemption - “hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.” Kind of like Tennyson said - better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Off my soap box now
  22. You might be surprised but I disagree with you and this take. They can lose on Saturday and we can be disappointed with the outcome but look on the season as a success. Hell, they’ve already won 5 more games than they did last year. By any measure that is a successful season. I also look at it from my own personal enjoyment which has been infinitely more fun this year over last. I look at watching the Colts play and going to games as a privilege and 9 times I have turned off the TV or walked out of the stadium with a great feeling. I’ve also had fun at games they lost as well. I’ve seen the future with this team and it looks bright. Long story short - the success of this season is not dependent on the outcome of the Texans game to me.
  23. Raimann will not be in the top 100 this summer. No chance.
