  1. I'm still struggling to accept that our couple decades and perhaps a potential decade more of elite QB play has now evaporated, and our roster is now one of the best it's been in the past couple decades and shouldnt bomb enough to get us another elite QB.  Going to hurt for years, unless JB absolutely kills it.

     

    I have hope for Kelly too assuming he gets over his stupid off the field problems.

    Guys imagine if we finished 5-11 or 8-8 as was predicted. I feel like spending an hour collecting the pre season targets posted on this forum. If anyone had a target of finishing with a record of 10-6 and then losing to the no. 1 seed in the playoffs they would have been told to be realistic. What was achieved this season was phenomenal!

     

    Were in a rebuild with a rookie coaching staff, a QB coming off a career threatening injury and a team largely full of rookies.

     

    We need to keep perspective! Our GM is a stud and a HC creating a powerful culture.

    I believe our future is bright. 

    True.  I think we just got a bit overhyped for this.  We are a very good team but we need to be firing on all cylinders all the time to hang with the big boys like KC, and it didn't happen today unfortunately.  

     

    With another good draft and spending that pile of cap money we should field a better team next year.  Should be better!

  3. I'm not too worried about it.  If the Colts were able to prevent JJ Watt and Clowney from getting to Luck, they'll prevent Jones as well.  1-2 sacks tops, maybe 3 at the worst if we are behind by a large margin or someone gets injured.  But I highly doubt it.

    After seeing the replay I'm almost positive it prolly broke the skin very nasty break 

    That was awful.  I misread and thought someone said wrist so I kept looking at his wrist on the replays like "I really don't get it..." then I looked down and was like (insert puke emoji here)

  5. Yeah I noticed it was a bad game too.  Maybe playoff jitters or sick or something.  Doubtful this continues past this week though, I expect him to be a big factor in the KC game.  He needs to be - it's going to be rough if he isn't.

  6. Surprisingly I don't feel that good about our chances in the playoffs.  I did the first couple years of Luck because we always magically seemed to pull out wins, but this year - and maybe I am just more pessimistic - but I don't feel like the stars will align on all phases of our game to beat the best teams this year.

     

    We have only played a few winning teams - Texans, which we have beat (and I think they are very overrated).  The Titans, which I don't really think are that good.  Cowboys, which I still can't believe we crushed like we did.  But we almost got squashed by some bad teams too.

     

    I feel we will win against the Texans because we are a better team.  But if we have to play KC... I just don't see our defense, who hasn't really been tested that much this year, being about to stop the freight train of Mahomes without another good draft year and some improved pass rush/CB play.

     

    Teams I think we could beat in the AFC right now:
    Texans

    Ravens (I think our D is well prepared against a running QB)

     

    Teams I am pretty sure we will lose to (of course I hope I am wrong!):

    KC

    Patriots (but ONLY because they will be at home - otherwise I think we might have a chance)

     

    Chargers I am not sure about, it depends how they play that day.

     

    In the NFC, teams I think we could beat:

    Cowboys (we already did, soundly)

    Eagles (should have won the first time)

    Seahawks (I don't think their offense could outscore ours)

     

    Teams I think we would lose to:

    Saints (Colts vs Saints rematch is something that terrifies me this year)

    Rams (though I'd like to see Donald against our O line.  I have a cool dream of seeing Big Q pancake Donald)

    Bears (another rematch, this time I don't think it would end well)

     

     

    Again I hope I am wrong and we win all games!  If we play KC I just don't feel like it will be very close.  We will have to score basically every possession and/or hope Leonard and Hooker take over the game with INTs / forced fumbles.
