LOL

[Colts Vs. New York Giants Game Day Thread]

Good news is there's still plenty of time.

[Colts Vs. New York Giants Game Day Thread]

Wow, Andrew. No idea what went on there.

 

[Colts Vs. New York Giants Game Day Thread]

Alright, Andrew. Save us. 

[Colts Vs. New York Giants Game Day Thread]

Looks like the d is having a hard time with miscommunication. Walker being out is hurting us big time. 

[Colts Vs. New York Giants Game Day Thread]

The boys look nervous. Gotta loosen up a bit.

[Colts Vs. New York Giants Game Day Thread]

Gross

[Keys to beating the Giants]

Force Eli to check-down and tackle well. Kick some * in the trenches.


 

[Denico Autry]

such an unheralded , yet terrific value signing.

Ballard does it again.

[Quinnen Williams]

Oliver has a better chance of slipping than Williams , imo. He's a lock for the top 5. 

[24/7 sports 1st round mock draft. Very accurate]

Gary has a ton of upside , and wasn't utilized correctly , but he does worry me. It could be a case of a guy who's a better pro than college player , but there's questions at the very least. 

I'd feel more comfortable with Simmons, Brown and Davis who were all on the board. I don't think any of them offer the pash-rushing potential that Gary does , but they're total rocks that could be our starting NT from day 1. In the case of Simmons, he could be a 3-T as well. 

That said, I did think that one of the better mocks I've seen. Good call.

[T.Y. Hilton or Marvin Harrison...]

For those harping on Marvin's playoff performances , I'd love to see how TY handled being mugged by Patriots defenders all game. 

Marvin in this era would be a total joke.
 

 

[Bills release Kelvin Benjamin, should we?]

LOL @ people wanting Benjamin.

He got released by a team with worse WR depth than we have. Wake up.

 

[T.Y. Hilton or Marvin Harrison...]

I mean, c'mon...

[120 Million In Cap Space]

Good lord, Superman. 

I don't think I've ever used so many likes on one thread , for one person.

You knocked this one outta the damn park.

[I can't believe Andrew Luck allowed his team to get shut out]

 You can count on one hand the amount of QB's in this league that could be 6-6 with our current roster.

Coach Reich needs to go

lol , c'mon man. 

Yeah, he definitely made mistakes today , but no , that doesn't erase all the good he's done and make him worthy of being fired. 

Reich's doing a good job overall. 

[Draft order?]

We have the 16th pick as of today. 

My guess is we'll land somewhere in the 12th to 21st range. 

[Green Bay fires Mike McCarthy]

About 3 years too late. 

[This game shows the obvious needs we need on Offense next year...Ballard needs to act../Bell (merge)]

 we lose , and the Bell talk comes back. 

What a surprise.

Good thing I'm a draft nerd.

Maybe "full of ourselves" wasn't the right adjective. Lackadaisical? Trap-game candidate? I dunno

We got punched in the mouth , and the coach didn't make the right calls. It happens. 

If the Jags had a respectable QB , they'd have a much better record.

That is fair enough. I love your knowledge of the game actually, same for Basketball eventhough LeBron isn't better than Jordan or Magic . I guess we will have to see how the season plays out. Very disappointing day no doubt.

Same to you. I'm still very, very positive about the direction of this franchise. Today is just a day to forget. 

Also :

Jordan>Lebron
Lebron>Magic

Calm down there Captain nobody was calling you that. All I was really saying was in hindsight its easy to be critical of Reich's calls. 

I can assure you , I'm calm. I know what you're saying , but I'm not sure you're grasping what I'm saying.

Yes, had the 4th down calls worked , I would've liked it. I'm not DougDew. 

But no, that doesn't mean I agreed with it. It really made no damn sense to me considering the opponent and considering how the game was playing out. It was simply something I would not have done. Look back at my posts , I said "take the points" before we got stuffed on our 4th down calls.

On top of that, the Jags didn't respect our ground game at all (for good reason). If we were moving the ball on the ground more successfully , I would've felt more comfortable in 4th and short scenarios. As it was, they made us one dimensional and made our less-than-stellar skill position players beat them and our OL hold up against the blitz (which again, they hadn't been doing). They knew we couldn't run it up the gut on them and that severely limited our play-calling and helped theirs immensely. 

Context and nuance is everything. You're conflating hindsight with process/result , and that's just not the case. 



 

[We will only win one more game this year.]

Relax.

This team is too young , and too inconsistent to make proclamations like that about the rest of the season.

I know it's in fans' DNA to look ahead , but really , just remaining measured is the best approach with a rebuilding team.
