  1. In 2011 the Colts had the worst record in the NFL. That landed them Andrew Luck with the 1st pick in the draft and an instant competitive team...for awhile...then regressed. Did winning so soon (also picking later in draft) without really rebuilding the team (early 1st round picks) hurt more in the long run or was it more Grigson missing on his draft picks? Those 1st 3 years (with a healthy Luck) netted playoff appearances. The Jaguars have been bad for a pretty long time, now they are maybe a QB/WR away from being a very good team. But they also should be with the amount of early 1st round picks. The Patriots are the exception as were the 2000-2010 Colts with sustained winning records. Bill B has done a nice job over the years moving up/down the draft board moving picks around. So you "CAN" win and do so for an extended time in the NFL... No fan wants to see our team "suck". Or tank/lose on purpose. The saying goes "you play to win the game", but the difference in a 3-13 record vs 7-9 really isn't that much as far as a bad season but could be come draft time and finding those core players to build a team on. I've struggled with this idea wondering if this is what the Colts are doing with the lack of FA signings and how far away are we from having that core. One more year picking top 10 draft vs picking 15-20th? Thoughts?          

  2. 2 things that bother me. The "old Luck" sometimes forced throws and sometimes had them "sail" high on him. Its early, he's rusty so trying not to read too much into. That ability to run for his life and throw with lazer sharp accuracy is still there though, might still need that

  3. All these reports Luck hasn't thrown a football. I find it hard to believe at some point during all this time he hasn't picked a football up and thrown one. Its human nature. He's a QB. He's prolly got footballs lying all over the place collecting dust, stumbling over them. Didn't at least pick one up and throw it wondering how the ole sidearm is coming along?

    I've been thinking 12-13 wins all off season. Suddenly now the preseason games are over and the dust has settled i`m not so sure. The depth at RB and WR isn't so deep anymore, a lot of drop off from the starters, untested rookies on both sides of the ball..will they hit the "rookie wall" by 3/4 season? Can Andre Johnson stay healthy all year? Will Mathis be the same QB assassin? A lot of unanswered questions. I think expectations are high and this team underachieves for some reason..I say a very disappointing 9-7..just my gut feeling   

    9-7 now wouldn't seem so disappointing..this sucks!
