Sterling TV used to have a similar service package. But I don't think they do it anymore. Now they include it on a MonsterBox, which is available on Amazon. It's not cheap, but there's no monthly fee.

It just means we’ve been obsessed with the Colts longer. You’ll get there. l didn’t even know I was in the ring.

I'm also in the Ring of Honor, but I have no clue as to what that means. I'm sure it's defined somewhere...

I know. It’s kind of sad reading all these posts. it’s like they’re all my 90 year old uncle who still wants to use their VHS to watch tapes.

I’m going to say three absolutely legal things: 1. Smart TV or Firestick 2. Paramount and Fox TV apps 3. VPN Mods, if there’s anything wrong with this post, let me know. But, as I said there’s nothing illegal.

Agreed. But you kind of lost me with that double negative last sentence.

Excellent analysis, thanks for posting. I didn’t watch much, or any Florida games last season. I live in Florida now and a Gator fan told me we wasted our pick. The guy is a doctor, but that doesn’t mean he’s a football expert. He thought Bennett would have been a better pick. I told him that he was this years Danny Wuerffel. That quieted him down, lol. Please AR5, make him eat crow every time I see him this season!

Just watched the SS presser. Everyone that was out had “little” injuries. Little hip, little hammie, little foot. No…big…deal, lol! Had to laugh about how he was describing them.

Good one. injuries are going to happen, they always do. And people here will freak out. They always do. Next man up.

Coaching and Oline, for sure. I implore everyone to watch Hurts highlights and ask yourself - what is he doing that AR can’t (not every play, but a lot). Obviously AR can run as well as Hurts, the key being to know when to do it. But watch how many long balls Hurts throws to covered WRs, who make the contested catch. I think we all know that throwing long with accuracy is an AR5 strength. It may not happen overnight, but it’s going to happen. This O is going to be good.

As the Rainman got better and they settled on Fries at RG, the line was better at the end of the season. Let’s assume they’re no worse than that this season. That’s not much of a stretch, right? Add a mobile QB, which gives the Oline even more leeway. Running game improves on those factors alone since they can’t key on the RBs. The offense should be decent and should improve along with AR. Defense takes a hit losing Gilmore, but if Leonard is back that kind of evens things. All that is why I think we should be as optimistic as we were this time last year. Just MHO.

Probably because they read my opening post, lol! It’s all good. And BTW, I’m not the only one asking Why Not Us? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-afc-south-race-will-jaguars-or-colts-win-division-crown-reasons-why-each-could-prevail/

That is very true. And I think that’s the answer to my question. Last season most of us believed that Ryan was an improvement at QB, some of us believed that Pryor and Pinter could play because…why else would they start them with basically no competition. Now we’re wise enough to say Show Me before I buy it. Yet, I’m very optimistic this year. I think ON PAPER the team IS better, except for losing Gilmore. But you’re right, let’s see it.

Sure, all true. But my theme was that a lot of us here (and especially the national media) had expectations of winning the division last season. We all know the reasons it went south. We all could have said similar things that you pointed out - Oline uncertainty, QB arm/age, etc., but most were confident. Oline improved, QB room improved, play calling possibilities, etc.. Yet people now think 6 wins would be a successful season. We were so optimistic last year, why are the expectations so low this season? It’s mostly the same team, with improvements.

And I’m not talking about the illegal ways. Except for the Ticket, you’re not allowed to talk about other legal ways. So I won’t.

Okay, I understand that the less imaginative people are going to put up the Mora meme. It’s easy and requires no real thoughts on this subject, so go right ahead if it makes you feel “special” (like Gronkd). But for those who want to have a real discussion, here’s my logic: Last season a large portion of the media, and a bunch of fans here, picked the Colts to win the division, right? So what’s changed? What position group is worse? The only player we lost of some significance is Gilmore. I’d say every other position group is at least as good if not better. So if a lot of people thought we were in the hunt last season, why not this season? Is the play calling going to be worse? Are the QBs on this year’s roster worse? Oline? WR/TE/RB? Is the D going to drop off? I would not be surprised if we’re in the hunt, just like many of you predicted we would be last year. Tell me why I’m wrong.

We’re not allowed to talk about the ways to get the games, besides paying for the Sunday Ticket. Legal and not very expensive. But we can’t talk about it.

He’s going to go to where he wants to go - to a contender. They have to figure out what to do with JT and MPJ contracts. They’re not looking at Hopkins.

How about 61 with an asterisk?

Let's keep in mind that there's no real blocking, not tackling, no hitting. Right now they're just learning the plays. Let's not get too excited.

That's Dulin, MAC and Ebukam for those who can't see the thumbnails.

I saw a video on YouTube where they were laughing because he looked like a "small person" (my words, they used the derogatory) behind the line. I think he was the most talented QB coming out, but you just can't ignore his size. I know the rules are set up to protect the QB but eventually he's going to have a couple 300lb guys fall on him. I wish him luck, I loved watching him at Bama.

Didn't you think Will Levis have some Uncle Rico in him?

Thanks @stitches and @Restinpeacesweetchloe for the updates!

It’s going to be tricky. Unless they’re going to commit to starting AR, then both he and GM will be splitting 1st and 2nd team reps. Ehlinger will be doing a lot of watching.
