Yet some people think the Colts should take a tackle if he’s there in the first round because they aren’t sold on Raimann…

I think that something fans need too remember Shane spent the whole off-season designing an offense around Richardson and put that in camp and worked on it all off-season. Then on the fly he had to change the offense to suit Minshew. It’s not going to have all the creative stuff he designed for Richardson.

Based on reports it’s not the NFL that doesn’t want full time officials. It’s the officials. They don’t want to give up their high paying jobs they do Monday through Friday and since they are an union they have to bargain over that and right now it’s something the officials won’t give in on.

I think it was twitter people pretending to be media.

They already put the fans in the ring of honor lol

I don’t worry about betting lines but not shocked. Most people that arent Colts fans are going to side with the Texans because of Stroud alone.

yeah that’s where I am at. I want Kenny back because he’s my favorite player on the roster. he’s also earned the extension IMO. Yeah even if the bring back Blackmon and keep Thomas they need another body back there. I’d like to keep Blackmon but I am more on the let him walk and draft a replacement train. Not because I don’t like Blackmon just you can’t keep everyone and the reasons I mentioned before. I might not be Pierce’a biggest fan but I fully agree he’s going to get and should get another year. I hope that what some think the problem is the QB and he production takes off next year with Richardson. I hate to think what this forum will be like if Ballard doesn’t draft a WR in the first round or acquire a big name. clearly they have to make a decision on Pittman first. I see no way they let him leave and will franchise tag him if they have too. Yeah if they don’t go WR 1st I would expect a linebacker. Still Ballard has proven he can get good linebackers anywhere in the draft so if it’s close I hope he will side with a WR if the Colts should be so fortunate to get to choose between guys with their 1st pick. Wood apparently tore his other hamstring while rehabbing the one he tore earlier. Still that combined with the report he wasn’t taking things seriously makes him a question mark in mind. id wait and see on Cox. Fans have written him off a lot and yet he’s still here starting. The Colts clearly like something about him that fans don’t.

Can be. Colts fans have to make it a hostile environment. Hopefully it’s like the Pats game from a couple of years ago.

Let’s see if they end up out. It’s only Tuesday.

All good just didn’t want to get your good point lost.

Your overall point still stands but he played in the semifinals not the national title game last year. Still your main point stands. Just pointing that out before someone tries to over look your good point due to a simple brain fart.

Yeah Shane’s offense is limited by Minshew (as any coach would be working with a backup QB most of the year). That’s part of why Shane should be in the running for coach of the year for having to reinvent the offense on the fly to suit Minshew and not Richardson who are different style QBs and having it be as effective as it’s been all year. They have had what two games where they failed to score at least 20 points? That’s pretty impressive for a rookie head coach and a backup QB.

I also think if the Lions heard the announcement they should have known it was messed up then and said something to the officials then. I will say I heard an interview with Kerry Rhodes yesterday where he was asked how the wrong number being announced impacts the defense and he said that’s more for the fans as a defender you look at how the team lines up and cover the guys that are the eligible receivers based on the alignment and felt Dallas blew the cover because they didn’t do that. Rhodes also said once it got called back Campbell should have kicked the extra point and put the blame on him for not doing that. He also called out the league for trying to blame the missed tripping call and that the Lions should have never been in that position to start with. He said let’s say the refs got the eligible man right well then you are still saying the officials messed up only this time you took it away from Dallas. He was 100% on the issue was the officials and didn’t like the NFL trying to spin it to somehow being the Lions fault.

Steelers game has no impact on the Colts as the Colts own the head to head tie breaker with them.

Like Dungy used to say it’s about executing not surprising teams. If you out execute the other team it doesn’t matter what’s called. It’s why Tom Moore used to say if you find something that works you call it until the other team stops it.

In the court of law. Innocent until proven guilty doesn’t apply to football teams or public opinion.

What they do at corner will probably depend on what they do with Kenny Moore. If you bring him back you are really just looking for a couple of guys for depth and you might not even have to get those guys in the draft. I don’t think they will cut Thomas before final roster cut downs but I agree they might let Blackmon walk. Odds are Ballard won’t be able to keep all of Pittman, Grover, Moore, Blackmon, Minshew, and Moss. Personally I am always leery of players who have career years that are significantly better than previous seasons in a contract year and there are real injury concerns about Blackmon. So I could understand the argument for letting him walk. If they do or even if they don’t they need another body back there at least. Even if they keep Pittman and Grover they need more depth at WR and DT (look at how bad the run defense was in those six games without Grover). WR they pretty much have three NFL level players at WR and that’s it and that’s including Pittman. Linebacker is a quiet big need for this team, especially after letting Shaq go. They pretty much have two starters and not much else. I’d really like to see the find a linebacker who can play the pass. Tightend could be another need. Granson will be going into a contract year. Woods is a question mark at this point. Mo isn’t getting any younger or cheaper, Ogletree is probably gone, and they do have Mallory who has been productive in limited chances.

Not disputing that, and that overall point is a larger concern, but I was just addressing the claim he hadn’t won a game a he started.

He was the starter for the Texans and Titans games they won. Wins are given to the starting QB.

It’s also not what fans do. Fans want to see their team make the playoffs.

Sounds like Kenny might be available Saturday.

Take this as you will.

So clearly if the Colts lose Saturday Shane needs to be fired because he’s a bum

He is innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law where that is a standard. It is not a standard for football teams or public opinion.

Most of the people posting here have had something negative to say about the Colts at some point. That’s fine and fair. However, when all you do is say negative things and attack the team to try to spark a reaction that's not being a fan. Frankly it’s being a troll.
