Hello Colts fans. I stated in Aug that the team is going in the wrong direction. SPECIAL TEAMS, DEFENSE, OFFENSE. We need a true head coach(one that doesnt look like he is lost), special teams coach, defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator. I know that Peyton Manning is hurt but why in the heck didnt he have surgery right after the 2010 season. He wasnt involved in the negotiations of the lockout. The Colts dont want to pay anybody, therefore you see player needs in all aspects of the team. Go after David Garrard, he is better than Kerry Collins. I know when Jim Caldwell was named head coach, it was a cheap move for the organization. I dont want to hear any excuses and i know this is week one but i guarantee that it wont get better. I hope Jim Irsay sees this because he cant take a blind eye to this.

If you recall a post from last week I made addressing specific concerns on this team and have said several times in the past feww years and prior to Manning's injury this year (no original thoughts here), what we are seeing is the result of:
- Missed draft picks (Brown / Hughes / Ugoh to name a few)
- Aging Playerse
- Basing an entire team around 1 player
- Denial of general flaws (small fast players and inability to address blatant flaws: Special teams and interior defensive line)
I think we are about to see this teams mistakes in the draft and overall scheme (small quick players) and building a team around 1 player (Manning) become not only exposed, but it's going to take a few years to build a solid team. Even if Manning comes back, we need a player that will be the future of this franchise at that position. Our defensive line, particularly against the run, is a joke and has been for years. Our special teams coverage is a travesty. Opening kickoff is fielded 5 yards deep in the end zone and taken out to the 40. Jacoby Jones returns a punt 79 for a td and is never touched.
I don't think Caldwell, in all due respect and while a very nice man and a man of morals, has no business being a head coach in this league. This team was not ready today and seemed uninspired. Maybe it's not fair to compare him to Belichick, but I couldn't help thinking what it would be like if we had someone like him on the sidelines. In Foxborough, it's about the team, not one player. This franchise, whether right or wrong, has allowed this team to be about one player. What we are seeing is the fallout from that fact. Heck, we even built our defense around him.
I was a fan before Peyton and I'll remain one after he's gone, whenever that may occur. However, I had a feeling that not only would we not win many games this year, but our losses would be very lopsided. It wouldn't even be close.
It's not fair to base my decision off of one game, particularly with Collins having so little time with our group. But if today proved anything, it proved we simply aren't a good TEAM. That is the bottom line to me. I was at the game and it was rough. Stayed all the way through it. I say brace yourselves fans, because the next few years are going to be rough. Whether Manning is with us or not. Just too many holes that have gone unfilled for years and that exposure was on full display today.

The Jets beat them in the playoffs.....LISTEN COLTS.....You are not making moves to keep this team strong....EXCUSES ARE JUST LIKE YOUR BUTT.....EVERYBODY HAS ONE......I promise you, the regular season will tell the story....why didn't you hire Wade Phillips as the defensive coordinator? Others may not comment but i'm right on point about these statements.
-
The Colts have dominated the AFC South but now it's apparent that they are going in the WRONG direction. SIMPLE AS THAT
-
The Colts are nutts by the organizational moves they make. 1 - YOU LET TOM MOORE GO AND ANOTHER AFC TEAM GETS HIM??????
2 - PEYTON MANNING HAS SURGERY IN MAY AND ISN'T PRACTICING NOW
3 - COACH CALDWELL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BE AN NFL COACH...PERIOD
4 - WHERE IN THE HECK ARE THE ADDITIONS TO HELP THE OFFENSIVE LINE PROBS
I'm only saying what i feel about what they are doing
-
I haven't heard anything about what the Colts are doing about the offensive line....Peyton is coming off neck surgery and he can't take too many hits. We need to come back this year in good form on offense and defense.
Will Someone Please!
