Nobody even going to mention Earl Morrall?
I mean, sure, Jones. But still. Dude went 22-3-1.

Well, I will say I've seen a lot more coverage on how the Bengals were terrible than on how the Colts were good.
-
I think you mean AJ Green, unless you're some kind of time-traveling wizard.

Kick Return Average. . . would not have guessed that.
That is a very extensive list though. The one thing I'm not noticing, the one chink in our armor right now is turnover differential.
That, and our rushing offense and defense are only average-to-above-average.
Re: turnover differential, that's mostly an offensive problem. The defense is actually tied for 5th in takeaways I believe (albeit with 5 other teams), but they were effective even without any yesterday, so it's kind of a moot point there.
BTW, more top 5 stats, this time from PFR:
-Yards per Drive
-Defensive Yards per Drive
-Opponent Average Starting Field Position
-Defensive Time per Drive (1:54, best in the NFL, if anyone is curious)
-Offensive Time per Drive
-Defensive Points per Drive
-Defensive Scoring % by Drive
-Defensive Plays per Drive
-Passing Att. per TD
-Def. Passing Att. per TD
-Defensive Sack Percentage (as a function of dropbacks)

You also have to remember that there's still a long way to go. A lot of these guys that are playing well like RJF, Redding, Walden, etc...were brought in as stop gap guys and won't be with the team in the future. You have to look at whose going to be on the team long term. It's about long term starters, and defensively we still have to see.
There's already talk of Redding retiring. Mike Adams is 34 and Landry will probably be cut. Toler an Walden aren't certainties down the road either. Give him credit for bringing in some guys who made the team competitive, but I would reserve judgment for another 1-3 years when a lot of those FA signings are gone and we get to see who their replacements are.
We've got a young solid O-Line, save for Cherilus and a young talented receving core. We have to see on the defense though as it's mostly made up of short contract FA's and guys near/in their 30's
The offense is farther along than the defense, but there's already some young guys on defense who look like they could be long-term solutions. Chapman, Werner, and Freeman in particular. And some potential in guys like Kerr, Hughes, Muamba, and Purifoy. Toler, RJF, Jones, and Walden are all under 30, we may keep a couple of them for a fairly long time.
Building the defense has certainly been a slower process, but the process is moving along.

David Lee Roth.

Landry is crap and T-Rich is average, but Grigson's batting average is very solid.

Watt was the disaster
Of the natural variety.
Like a tornado.

But I don't care because I have a sense of humor
I look forward to seeing it.
-
Sooooo, I have a sense of humor. Thank u
Laughing at you, not with you.
When they handed Luck the bag, he said, "This makes it all worth it". LOL
I was cracking up, and Marshall Faulk caught it too, and could not stop laughing.
On a side note: I would have gladly taken all of that Marshall merchandise.
Eh, he's just being snarky. Everyone involved knows the segment is dopey. It's also fun, as dopey things often are.
-
I think it's kinda funny.
-
You are insufferable.
-
That Werner guy is such a bust, eh?
-
Nothing wrong with winning ugly....
Yup. The more different ways we win games, the more prepared we'll be for whatever gets thrown at us in the playoffs (assuming we make it to the playoffs).
Teams that only know how to win one way tend to get exposed in the playoffs.
-
The Pats really are not very good.
I mean, I think they'll make the playoffs, because the other teams in their division aren't any better, but still...
-
The one thing I will say is I can't remember having a CB playing at the level of Davis while Peyton was here since maybe Nick Harper? Then again I've not followed the Colts as long as some and even in the early days I wouldn't know what rated good corner play (probably still don't
)Well, there was a very short stretch of like a season and a half where Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden were both healthy and our pass defense was pretty godly (although skewed by the fact that the rush defense was so bad a lot of teams didn't even really try).

41 TDs, 11 INTs, 4,522 yards, 68.3%.
Book it.

The feelings of the Jag Fan
Fixed that for you.
-
He really just can't help himself, can he?
-
I think it's a moot point whether he could make the switch to linebacker, because I don't think he could make the switch in the middle of a season regardless.

Jax is not built for a comeback
Sorry if I induce any PTSD flashbacks in anyone here, but... Cecil Shorts.

Even with that fumble the needle is still pointing up for Richardson here.

Chapeau Chapman!

Texans vrs Steelers
in NFL General
Posted
A cursory glance at Steelers' message boards suggests that Steelers fans are outraged that the blind refs overturned that obvious touchdown.
