  1. Great Job Colts! The Dolphins game was disappointing and the criticism was justified but the teams deserves a great applause and praise for todays game. An unexpected win against a SB team. Defense looked poor the first drives as Gore and the 49ers Offensive Line pushed them around but bounced back big times. I think it was the best Defensive game since years. Great coverage, nice pressure, loved it! They kept us in the game. Offense started on fire, cooled down a bit but were great at the end. OL was bad the last games but were more than solid today. Castonzo with one of his best games as a Colt, Thornton again with a promising performance. good run blocking, great game by all RB (Bradshaw, Richardson and Brown as well), Luck with a great game and a nice TD, made some good decision, liked the fast pass to Reggie (?) under pressure, sometimes still holds on to long. Colts are back on track!

  2. Why would we draft another guard?

     

    We have Thornton and Thomas.

     

    And behind them we have absolutely nothing... Thornton looks really good so far, Thomas looked decent too but is now on IR and we are lacking quality depth and it's not like that you can't upgrade Thomas. Thats why I picked a guy like Richardson who is versatile and also can play tackle a position we also have no quality depth. I know it's not sexy to pick an Offensive Line guy that early but seriously we need more quality there. 

  3. Sacks (Worst 5):

     

    1. Brandon Weeden (Cleveland) - 11 Sacks

    2. Geno Smith (NY Jets) - 9 Sacks

    2. Ryan Tannehill (Miami) - 9 Sacks

    4. Andrew Luck (Indianapolis) - 7 Sacks

    4. Cam Newton (Carolina) - 7 Sacks

    4. Indianapolis Colts - 10 QB Hits

    Better trade for an OL-man than a RB

     

  4. defense is... inconsistent! They had a very bad start, allowed two very easy TD for the Dolphins but then played pretty good in my eyes, some pressure on Tannehill, forced a turnover. The main problem in my eyes is that Offense and Defense can't get on the same page for a whole game. It's either Offense starts well and Defense slow or vice versa. Both sides have a good and a bad half but to win in the NFL especially against the good teams you have to play two good halfes on both sides of the ball. And thats what we are missing right now. It's not like we are playing like crap we are just to inconsistent and we make to many small mistakes. 

  5. Blaming Luck is just stupid! We have a young QB who is playing in his second year and he has now a 10 - 2 stat in games with less than 7 points, that carrys this franchise since his rookies season. Did he made some bad decisions? yes, maybe but he didn't cost us the game. Blame the Defense for their slow start and two very easy Dolphin TD, the OC for some very conservative calls in the game, the Offensive Line for their inconsistency or the refs for some questionable calls.
