Of course it is, a sports season rarely goes exactly how everyone expects it will go.  

 

But sitting on your hands waiting for the season to start isn't very fun so we make guesses at these things and then debate them.  Gives us something to do until football starts.

NFL.com has already posted it's "Power Rankings" for the 2013 NFL season.

 

Is it TOO early to judge teams for the upcoming season ??

Since the polls are meaningless unless you're going for a BCS bowl game, why not judge teams early?

Perception doesn't matter in the NFL.

I'll never forget it.

Power Polls are just based on how the last season ended imo. I don't think it's too early for them

I remember the polls last year and I was thinking to myself... "We are at least a middle of the pack team"

 

Lo and behold my expectations were met and more! We have one heck of a team from the front office all the way down to Mr. Irrelevant.

 

GOOO COLTS!!!

I have no problem ranking teams right now. It's pretty straight forward. Most of it is based off of last year with a few dark horse cinderella teams mixed in for good measure. Rankings are like one liners to an attractive woman in a public setting. A person rarely gets to 1st base with them, let alone out of the dugout. There mean absolutely nothing.

Power polls are based on how they finished the previous season, and maybe mixed in with how some analyst thinks we did in the draft and FA.

I hate that NFL.com gave us a draft rating of C+. 5th lowest grade in the league. Unbelievable...

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Smonroe · Posted

      Okay, I know this is a Mr. Obvious post, but bear with me.  What else do you have to do during the dead season, lol?   As a Buckeye, I appreciate how good CJ Stroud is.  In MHO CJ had better WRs and RBs when he was at THE OSU than he has in Houston.   So how did TTUN beat us (bad) two years in a row when he was in Columbus?  Simple, their Offense was way better than our Defense.   Bottom line - the Colts D doesn't have to be great.  Average will be good enough - IF the Colts offense is as good as we think it could be and play ball control, has extended drives, and limits the other teams possessions.  And maybe that's the plan considering Ballard not being too concerned with improving the DB rooms.   (Sure, it would be nice to have a great D.  No argument there)

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      I remember looking for highlights of TJ after we drafted him.  I kept finding videos of him following OJ Howard into the endzone.  Not sure if Howard was his responsibility, but it didn't paint a promising picture.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Ballard,   So, yeah, about that whole "bust" thing—I guess the cat's out of the bag. Turns out, I'm more of a popcorn fart than a thunderclap. My bad.   When you drafted me, I thought I was gonna be the Colts' next big thing. You know, sacking quarterbacks, making highlight reels, maybe even getting my face on a cereal box someday. But instead, I've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.   I've watched the tapes, Coach. I've seen the memes. They're comparing my NFL career to a hangover—starts off with high hopes, and ends with regret and a lot of Gatorade. And honestly, I get it. I'm like that guest who shows up to a party uninvited and ends up eating all the chips.   So, here's my mea culpa. I apologize for not living up to the hype. For every missed tackle, every missed sack, and that one time I accidentally tackled our own quarterback in practice (sorry, Philip). I'm like the guy who brings a guitar to a party and insists on playing Wonderwall—I'm annoying and not nearly as good as I think I am.   But hey, I'm not giving up. I'm hitting the gym, studying film (mostly bloopers at this point), and practicing my touchdown dance for when pigs finally fly. I promise to work harder and maybe, just maybe, I'll redeem myself and earn my place in the Hall of Mediocrity.   Thanks for believing in me, and letting me live my dream for 4 years straight whilst simultaneously producing nothing for your team. I'll make you proud yet, even if it's just by being the team's MVP of Bust Central, and we aren't talking bronze heads.    Sincerely, Ben "The Bust" Banagous (Not sponsored by Gatorade yet, but a guy can dream)
