HA. He's on thin ice, as far as I'm concerned. He's filled in for Garçon quite well this afternoon, if you catch my drift
Yep, I made that post before Avery decided to dip his hands in butter and then try to go out and catch passes. ALL of the guys were terrible today in dropping passes.

Not pretty normal first of all the miss was a 40 yarder not a 30 yarder and it was his first miss since the Miami game in early November. Adam did exactly what he normally does. Had a shaky stretch at the start of the year and rebounded to have a good back half of the season.
I think "pretty normal" was the wrong choice of words on my part. I meant we've all seen him make kicks that are ridiculous then turn around and miss a chip shot.
Regardless, him missing that one FG didn't really hurt them anyways. I'm a HUGE supporter of Vinny.

52 yarder before halftime.. shanks 30 yarder.. pretty normal.. would be great if the offense could do something inside the 20s
-
I like Kruger.. I doubt Jones makes it down to us and a big NO THANK YOU on Mike Wallace. We have Hilton and Avery and the Colts are already stacked at the skill positions.

When it comes to BIG kicks the guy is MONEY!

Chicago but I'm not sure he's good for Chicago, they better improve that O-line first( need better receivers as well), Cutler gets killed as it is.
Stay here Bruce, you got to be a HC for nearly a year, finish what you help start and get another ring.
Arians offense is better suited for Cutler. They need tackles severly, but WR's? Jeffrey, Marshall, Bennett, and Knox (if he comes back) are perfect weapons.
Chicago's defense is already good enough right now and I think Arians could really help that team out from a coaching standpoint. He's a heckuva motivator and gets players to buy in and play for him.
I think Chicago is in win mode now and Arians would be a good fit. My Bears friend is ecstatic about the possibility.

You speak as if he's not the most contributing factor as to why we are in the playoffs to begin with...
Nope I don't believe he is... I don't look at QB's as "pitchers"...
I think the more telling stat is that the defense allowed 37.2 points per game in the 5 that they lost. Pretty nice to have that 18.2 points per game stat when 8 of those games are against offenses that are in the bottom 20 of average points per game.Those 5 losses included the largest chunk of Lucks turnovers... A defense is going to be affected by their offense giving the opposing offense an extra 3-5 possessions a game. Granted our defense could have helped out in return but its hard to get QB's to throw to our DB's much like our QB was to theirs.
Well the offense really only faced 2 "good" defenses honestly (Chi and Hou) and 3 "decent" defenses (NE, Minn, GB)
You keep glorifying a bad defense and that's fine...but they allow 374.2 (26th) yards a game. The offense puts up 362.4 (10th) per game. That's bad for a team when your defense allows more yards than the offense gains. However, Mr. Luck has tied an NFL record of 7 game winning drives to make up for that terrible point differential (-30).Yards don't win games, POINTS do. The KC game and this last Houston game showed that. Without a doubt Luck did a good job of bringing the team back when for the most part it was him putting us behind.
It clearly benefits those in a dink and dunk offense. They don't consider the state of the team without the player, what amount of total offense the rookie contributes or WINS apparently.Its called EFFICIENCY.. Why take away from a player who played the game smart yet gloat about another who has a serious issue with staring down receivers and throwing into double and triple coverage instead of taking what the defense gives him? Although I will admit, after going to the game last weekend, Luck is starting look at his checkdowns more, but I just find it rather odd its taken him this long to do it.
THAT dink and dunk offense... 27pts/g
Arians offense... 22pts/g
That's what it's all about for me. Who couldn't do it without their QB's? The clear answer is Indianapolis. Given the state they were in last year and where they are today...he's the ROY. Although, I'd put Alfred Morris as a close secondYou think Washington, having one of the worst rushing games last year, could put Alfred Morris in the backfield behind Rex Grossman and have the season he's having this year with Griffin?
In the game with Kirk Cousins as the starter against Cleveland... Morris - 27 carries 87 yards(3.2 avg)
In our game against Cleveland... Ballard - 20 carries 84 yards (4.2 avg)
Griffin makes that offense go just as much as Luck makes ours go and I have no doubts that if Ballard and Morris were to switch spots, Ballard would have 1500+ yards.

yes, noticed your distaste for luck all season long. noted...
Good, keep those "notes" going.. Here's to hoping he doesn't throw us out of the game Sunday..
-
Let's see the only stat that matters . The W/L colum .. Only one I care about as a fan you argue completion % yard and turnovers all you want.
Yes our "Colts" were 11-5, not just Andrew..
-
As an unbiased Colts fan I think otherwise. I don't feel Luck was the better QB. Just my opinion..
-
He played RG a bit and also RT/LT too I believe.
-
Easily the 2012 line...
-
I wouldn't mind Norv because with him having Gates all these years, I would really like to see what he would do with Allen AND Fleener. Hopefully with improvements to the O-line next year these two can see more in the passing game regardless of who's OC. The Colts are LOADED at the skill positions and I want to see better utilization and efficiency next year. Anything less than 25+ points per game next year will be inexcusable IMO.
-
I was at the game today and the refs were letting AJ do a lot of pushing off especially on Vontae. He's looking better and better and the guy just has a great nose for the ball. The Colts have to find a legit #2 to put with him next year though that way QB's don't just look to Vaughn's side and play pitch and catch all day.
-
This was last year before he resigned. AJ said Reggie thought about going to the Texans if he wasn't resigned by the Colts.
-
I don't think RG3 can get OROY purely because the Skins won two games with Kirk Cousins, when RG3 didn't take a snap. Russell Wilson has the benefit of 'Beast Mode' in his backfield, and an epic D. No one else has had to carry their team like Luck has.
In the 10 wins for the Colts the defense has only given up an average of 18.5pts, which would be good for 4th best in the league right now. They've ALL had help in one form or another from their teammates, but even as a Colts fan, in no way can I say that Luck has outplayed either of them two from a QB perspective.
-
OROY - Griffin or Wilson - Luck throwing for a ton of yards wasn't enough to sway my opinion. Just like Wilson/Griffin, Luck wasn't the ONLY reason for the Colts wins. The other two, from a QB's perspective, have just played better.
DROY - Jenkins - He's been every bit as good as advertised if not better.

I'm reading reports that people around the Ravens organization do not expect Ray and Ed to remain with the team after this season. Looking at the garbage we have playing alongside Bethea I think it'd make all the sense in the world to have a future HOFer ball-hawking safety to fill that role. He'd be a nice 2-3 year rental and I doubt he would ask for much as opposed to Jairus Byrd. He'd get to play with his former Db coach and former teammate again..I think the possibility of Ed donning the horseshoe is very likely and wouldn't be surprised if this happens. He could be to us what Darren Sharper was for the Saints.
I would be completely happy with Ed playing here. Letting Bethea bulk a little and moving him to SS in favor of Reed would be fine with me. I would just wonder if he would want to come play here.

I think most underestimate the viability of the "NFL players mindset" ...
The Colts are up and coming.. going to the horrible KC Chiefs. +7 favorites.
IMO I have not seen a let down game thus far.... Sunday against the Chiefs I think we seen Indy's FIRST let down game.
BUT.... when the chips were on the table..... who stepped up? Mr Luck....
Go Colts...
Absolutely....
It couldn't have been the defense that created 3 turnovers and held the Chiefs to 13 points...

Where is the stat on that one? Also led the browns to the playoffs in 2002. Sacked 166 times in 4 years which is 2 sacks a game on average which isnt bad. And he was sacked 56 times as a rookie which Arians had no part of that year because Arians wasn't there yet
51 times in Arians first year. 30 in his second year and only played 14 games. 19 in his 3rd year and Couch only played in 10 of those. So he was right at 100, not over as I previously stated, but that's A LOT of sacks in 3 years.

Arians was working with Tim Couch from 01-03 as OC and he had him completing 60% of his passes all three years. Just Tim Couch was careless with the football with interceptions
And Couch was sacked over 100 times in those 3 years...

That's what i remember too. The pocket had collapsed on that throw. Not sure what bleedblu was watchin.
Luck was far from perfect, but i just don't think he was nearly as bad as his stat line indicated either. He had several drops. Reggie's drop early in the game was a huge one. He had some where he threw away. But the biggest problem i seen was his receivers simply were not getting open. Even on perfect throws like the one to Wayne down the sideline, was defended because he did not have enough seperation. Most importantly to me, this was the 2nd straight game on the road without a pick. That's improvement and i will take that every week.
He stepped up with NO ONE in his face and threw it into the third row. Tasker was even commenting on how he had time and and room to make that pass and got over-excited and muffed that pass.
I agree, the receivers did him no favors on a handful of plays, but Luck was hanging his receivers out to dry on passes as well, notably to Avery, that allowed the receivers to get hit and the ball knocked loose. He's got to get those passes down or he's going to get his guys hurt or continuously get passes knocked loose and/or picked.

Do ya really think we would have have been brick solid in the redzone if that would have been Tom Brady at QB or even Flacco (since we will likely play the Ravens in the WC). I definitly care how many yards we give up because that is an indicator our defense is not that good and good offenses will exploit it. Went with the dont break strategy and we eventually broke come playoff time UNTIL our defense came up BIG and led us to our SB win in 06
When you can show me a game where a team won because they had more yards than the other team and yards were the determining factor I will give "yards" more credence.
My post was directly related to today's game and yes they were solid today in the redzone and horrible between the 20's. Brady probably would have been better, and Flacco isn't much of a step up from Brady Quinn in my opinion, but again this has nothing to do with my original post about "today's" game.
I think you're trying to decipher from my post that you think I'm saying the defense was good, which they weren't, BUT they were good enough to keep the Chiefs to 13 points and that's what matters.
We looked like a team full of rookies

That INT was Lucks fault. Reggie was double covered. It already didn't help that he looked him down and that pass had bad news written all over it. However, I thought Luck played well. He made quite a few very good throws and a couple bad ones, but I was glad to see him taking off and running again. Keep the chains moving whether its by arm or legs.
I look forward to next year with extra additions in the off-season.
