    I’m not saying we can’t look better next season. AR back and a gazillions CBs back. That’s bound to improve the team. I’m also pretty sure Ballard is safe at least next season because of AR. But, after 8 seasons this team needs to start being better than average or an outsider for the 7th seat. I’m pretty sure most fans would agree to that and I think Irsay does too. 

     

    Maybe not to the Bolded. 

    Some of those early Indy fans remember the consistent losing and dysfunction and welcome with open arms mediocrity and contending for the 7th seat.

  2. Will replacing Bradley make much of a difference? Will his replacement be more of the same but with a different name and face? 

    When was the last time this team had a tough aggressive, talented  defense and scheme? 

     

    He may be fired as a scapegoat but don't hold your breath his replacement will be much different than him or Eberfus or Dungy without a.Freeney, Mathis, Bob Sanders.

    So colts still control their own destiny?

     

    No, the Steelers and powers that be control their destiny. 

    If the Steelers need the colts to lose, or any one else, they will. 

     

    Reminds me of the end of season two seasons ago. The colts lost last two games and Rothlisberger made the playoffs. 

    That's what made last weeks result so surprising, but it wasn't the last game of the season, so I guess it wasn't absolutely necessary?? 

     

    Anyway, we'll see soon enough.

    Another important game for the colts.

    The Betting line should be concerning to colt fans. 

     

    The Steelers bouncing back and the Bengals laying a egg should also be concerning. If the Steelers are to move up over the colts in the wild card standings, the Steelers will need for the colts to lose twice. Of course I'm sure there are other paths where both teams make it. 

     

    Christmas gift for everyone:

    3 team parlay on money line,

    Eagles

    Chiefs

    Packers

    ....will yield you nearly even odds

     

    Merry Christmas to all

     

    The concerns turned out to be VALID!

     

    My 3 team Parlay is still alive.

    It’s not unpopular to me. I think it would make a lot of sense to find someone in the draft that is a similar style player so that Steichen’s offense isn’t disrupted by someone limited like Minshew is. Veteran or not, it would make sense to me. The money is a whole different element. 

     

    I said the same thing weeks ago about having a backup with similar skills.

    Mond is a similar style player but has already failed with couple other teams. There's probably a decent chance he never makes it but if the colts dropped out of contention I would have liked to seen him.

    Rivers had a long great career. He never won a SB, but he won several playoff games (beat Peyton in the playoffs). He also made an AFC title game. Fouts just like Rivers IMO. Fouts actually made 2 AFC title games. I think you like many are missing my point about Herbert. When it comes to Herbert, give me 1 thing that stands out? Name 1 big game he has won in the playoffs? You can't. One could say he has great talent but so do many QBs.

     

    See I hate these kinds of threads because now it looks like I hate Herbert. I  don't, I think he is a top 10 QB but many think the guy can do wrong. Dak gets blamed for everything and he and Herbert are on the same level.

     

    I'm not a fan boy of Herbert.... But I do see a very talented passer. But my point is, which  some don't understand is the Chargers are not a team to succeed and win big games with on a consistent basis....and its been happening for the most part for decades. 

     

    As far as Dak is concerned I think he's pretty good too but since Jerry Jones stopped sharing all his revenue with other owners, he's not so popular with the league and their playoff success has been limited despite very talented teams on both sides of the ball. Romo was good too and I'm not sure he ever won a playoff game, not many if he did. 

     

    Unfortunately, like I said in a above post, its more than talent, Xs & Os and I think that's so sad for sports. 

    One great thing about Peyton, he bucked the trend of habitual losing by the colts and along with polian turned the colts into the winningest team in a Decade. A few more Super Bowls should have happened but still he did what other hot shot QBs didn't and won't.

    Burrow cannot be loving the success his backup is having.  Making him look like a system QB.  Jackson is dynamic but I think he gets a lot of undeserved hype because he is so exciting to watch.  His actual QB skills are just meh.  Lamar is one ACL away from being pedestrian.  

     

    Burrow is big time and no QB in the league is going to make him look like a system QB. College champion and NFL super bowl with a organization that was pathetic for decades. He may be the best of the elite few(Maholmes, Allen, Herbert). I like Jackson but if I need a QB to pass me to victory late in the game I would take the above 4 QBs over Jackson.

    I would say Herbert is Top 10. Top 5 is another way of over rating him. I am not a Herbert hater but nobody blames him for anything and they just say he is great. I can list 5 QBs that are better than Herbert easily:

    Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Jackson, Purdy, Hurts. That is 6. Herbert is like Dak Prescott Imo, good but not great. He puts up great numbers at times but against the very good or great teams, he usually puts up average numbers and the Chargers lose. Just like the Cowboys on the road, they can't beat anyone good and Dak folds.

     

    Your not taking account of the team/organization he plays for. The Football Gods don't like the Chargers.. Why do you think Eli didn't go there? Same reason Elway refused coming to the colts. 

    You like Phillip Rivers??

    I think you say he's a HOF'er...... How many super bowls and Championship games he won and he also had talented rosters.

    What about Dan Fouts?? Even with a great offensive mind coach like Coryell and the best weapons in the league how did he do come playoff time??? And they even had Drew Breese foe a while. 

     

    As you perfectly know there's more to football than talent, X's & O's and when it comes down to it, the Chargers will fail. 

    Herbert is a very good passer but he can't buck the 'trend' of 4 to 5 Decades of the Chargers chargin, as their fans sadly describe them.

     

    Don't take my word OR 50 years of history, go and listen to their podcast/fans. Or just replay the second half of the playoff game last year against the Jags and what Bosa said.

    Yep. Unless he loses 2 more games and we miss out of the playoffs. Then we torch and pitchfork him out of the city. 
     

    This is the way. 

     

    I heard he spends off season in his van parked in parking lot at a Florida beach and spends his time with his dog on beach and plays pickle ball against elderly women. That's what was said during broadcast......so he won't be around to pitchfork him away. LoL

     

    Beach time sounds good to me.

    I have found myself rooting for Levi’s because of all the people here picking apart everything he does just to justify their infatuation with Richardson. Richardson COULD be good, but as of now there is no question who is better now. It’s fun to watch him and purdy play.

     

    I don't know if Levis is or will be better than AR5. But he will be at the very least a very solid QB and has the arm talent to be very good in the near future imo. They both right now are looking up to Stroud while Bryce Young is looking up to everyone. :funny:

    I love Mike McDaniel lmao…

     

    I have been getting into watches lately and my cousin said he has a really super duper expensive one. I seen a glimpse of it and it looked Huge. 

     

    My favorite players are Joe Cool..... Kittle.....and still Aaron Rogers. I like Lamar Jackson too, I've never seen a player so slippery.... Henry too.

  13. Don't see a ton of charger games but Herbert is a Top 5 QB. No QB will have much success in playoffs with the Chargers.....there are reasons Eli refused to go there. 

     

    There are numerous over rated players but Kelce, to me doesn't wow me on the eye test, and neither does his pretend girlfriend. :funny:  He's a big man that can move and can catch the football like some other TEs. It doesn't take much to find a open spot in the zone or in the flats. He's good but I think there are numerous other TEs that can also put up big stats if they played with MaHolmes and Reid.

    I had heard he had been removed - I hadn't heard anything about the reasons.

     

    NBC is stupid for doing this - for any reason - as he is a very very popular NFL announcer.

     

    Maybe a miracle will happen and he gets his job back........"Do you believe in Miracles"? Haha
