Bottomline we know nothing The Colts share nothing and as a season ticket holder since day one that disappoints me I want to know everything petitnent to other products I purchase I do not comprehend the Colts game or plan
-
Do the Colts really need another injury prone player? While we are not strong at this position, if he can not be on the field he does not really help
-
This coaching vacancy has not been filled as of yet. It is evident that what we are doing is not working. I am going to throw a name out that is a long shot. He has no NFL coaching experience. However, he is an NCAA running back coach and his running backs have been very successful. He does have Indiana ties but none that I can find with the present Colts staff. IU's Deland McCullough has a good track record and just may need the new blood and thinking outside the box that the Colts need to assist in improving their running game.

The list of unrestricted free agents is up at nfl.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000626245/article/2016-nfl-unrestricted-free-agents-by-team
My quick count shows 61 o-line of which 10 are centers. Who we think Ryan Grigson should be looking at? Check out the Steelers and the Seahawks, just saying
-
So is Joe Philbin agreeing to keep him or this is just the coaches listing?
-
I do not hear his name as a HC possibility anywhere else. This is a football job and he is a football job with a challenge. We should realize that every coach is competitive and appreciates a challenge. What is a bigger challenge than the Colts O-Line? If you are the O-Line coach that turns around would that not be a feather in his cap. Remember not every FB coach is cut out to be a head coach. I think he is definitely worth consideration for the job.

I have continued to state that Andrew Luck deserves as good as center as Peyton Manning had
Where is the next Jeff Saturday?
Free Agents Look at Chris Hubbard of the Steelers or Patrick Lewis of the Seahawks and there are 21 more

Who is the best college prospect?
I like Nick Martin from the Fighting Irish (brother plays for Cowboys) or Ryan Lewis Crimson Tide and there are others

We must get better at this position before are o-line will get any better and they are in the right rounds
-
not that Joe Thomas and Mack aren't good that does not get us in the direction of getting
younger. Look at Free Agents 27 and younger would be a better direction
And I will throw in the O-line needs a new coach
-
With the new DC being a strong front 7 man we need a strong secondary coach
Former Steeler Rod Woodson is an assistant with Oakland Grew up in Fort Wayne
and played at Purdue give him a call He was a hitter and we need toughness
-
Look at the centers 27 years of age and under. That is the number one need of the Colts When we had Peyton the second most valuable player was Jeff Saturday Andrew deserves an opportunity to have as good as center as Peyton had
-
Mainly a front 7 guy We need to hire a strong secondary coach
-
I like Aaron Cromer if we could lure him from the Bills Prior with Bears and Saints grew up in Ohio played at Miami of Ohio No previously experience with Chud might look at names he worked with in past.
-
What would be the reason for keeping the OL coaches? I would think the new OC and DC coming in would add input to the coaches for their side of the football.
-
Two more please O-line and D-Line it just not players that weak links these positions need new coaching blood as well maybe they are just going down the line Strength and Conditioning was a must go
-
As a 32 year season ticket holder is appears to be a root of the problem with our Colts is strength and conditioning. Is this the reason we have so many more injuries? It sure seems like they have increased since Tom Zupanic left the team. I realize players are bigger, stronger, and faster but if we could keep in on the field it would be a plus.
Is our O-line poor players or poor teaching of schemes and execution? I think Joe Gilbert's time has come for a change. It has continued to be stated that we have an O-line problem and the last three years Gilbert has been the coach. If the players come and go and the line is no better, I would think this has to be a consideration. Aarpn Kromer, Frank Pollack,Mike Munchak, Clancy Barone, Andy Heck, Paul Brudeau would all be candidates from teams with decent lines if they could be lured from their present teams. The last one I listed is coaching for the Rams and may not want to move to the west coast.
We need to take care of fundamentals and basics before other successes can be achieved.

It is an agreed topic that we are short a starting safety at this point. Who is a safety we could trade for and whom do we have available to trade? We have nine draft picks of which one could be put in with a deal. The challenge is finding the safety that we want on a team that has a position need and we have a player or players we are willing to give up to fill our need. Looking at safety stats for last year Aaron Williams of Buffalo would be a consideration. He is only 24 (their oldest at the position) but what do they need that we have. I would have no problem assisting the Bills in their quest to dethrone the Pats. Any other ideas or thoughts?

With these free agent signing, how much cap room do we still have? How much do we need for rookies? How much may we still shed our selves of? Bottomline question, how much do we still have available to sign any other free agents?
-
It all comes down to the o-line getting the push and opening the hole. You have to beat the man across from you.

Wow, the Colts fans expectations are often hitting the ceiling, instead of accepting and appreciating what we have. At this point the Colts are not in the NFL elite. They are in the second tier and there are tiers below us. I for one appreciate the effort of everyone on the Colts and the fact that I have a local winning football team. Not every NFL city can say that. Many on here have not sit through nearly every home game for the past 31 and gain the understanding that the Colts on some Sundays are not as good as their opponent. But the goal is to keep improving and striving toward the prize, just as it is for everyone of us in our daily lives and careers. GO COLTS!!! Great job Ryan Grigson.

The "cap" is a strange animal. The Colts have signed some big contracts but how much have each of those counted against the "cap"? With some players leaving that should free up some money. We all some other players or positions we would like to see added. But is the real money we have left for these signings and are 2014 draft class?

As a season ticket holder, I know when I see the same people in the same seat every game. You can determine who you sell your tickets if you choose too. I understand the position of those who do not agree with my statements and feel offended. I know that several tickets are held by ticket brokers. I will not argue with anything that anyone says that disagrees. My point was the disappointment of so many visiting fans for the playoff game. But we always want to talk about the 12th man and the attendance of visiting fans diminishes that. By the way I do not live in Indy. I live in a county nearly 90 miles away that is very rural but has at least 100 season ticket holders and we all make sure that Colt fans are in our seats.

While I agree that our the first half was not our best, Alex Smith had a great game and our defensive scheme was to
stop Charles. When he went out, it was all new, and it took the halftime locker room to make the adjustments.

What a game, What a comeback!!!! However, am I the only one that was disgusted my the number of Indianapolis Colts season ticket holders that sold their tickets to Chiefs fans. The was way too much red at Lucas last night. When the Colts had the ball the was way too much noise from the visiting fans. I know their is nothing that can or will be done. It is just unbelievable that season ticket holders will sell to the opponent. As for me, if I have anything to do with no visiting fan will ever sit in my seat that I have proudly had for all 30 years of the Indianapolis Colts.
Great Attitude and Inspiration
in Colts Football
Posted
New Head Coach Frank Reich had a great opening press conference. I believe he exemplifies a great attitude and is an inspiring speaker. I can not see the Colts under his regime getting off to there past notorious slow starts or get blown away in the second half. He is going to will it not to happen. I further trust and believe Andrew Luck got close to playing again know that he going to be playing for this Coach. Let me further believe that the combination of GM Chris Ballard and Head Coach Frank Reich will put together a strong staff, sign free agents and draft new players that will bring the Colts back to the level of championship play that we know and love.
