Jacksonville down to two healthy WR's

One thing you can say about Jacksonville is they have been very unlucky in the injury department. They have been savaged by injuries on both sides of the ball, and now they are down to only two healthy receivers, Cecil Shorts and rookie Ace Sanders. Of course they have what they call the offensive weapon position of Denard Robinson, but he does not count as a WR. So with two healthy receivers, they brought in two players off of the practice squad. I have never heard of either, and considering how little time Gabbert has played, how much timing could they have. Regardless, they always seem to play us tough!

I seen that. They had to bring up some practice squad players. There are too many weaknesses on this Jaguar team to not give ourselves a good cushion this game.

Even if the Jags had Megatron and Fitzgerald for WRs, they still have Gabbert throwing it.

I'm not even going to talk trash. I tried it last year and we got Blaine Gabbert's sole pro highlight when he ripped off that game winning bullet pass to Shorts, who also destroyed us.

 

All in all, being a Colts fan has been a source of pride, but that and Peyton Manning losing his final Colts game to Mark Sanchez will continue to be a source of embarrassment. I'll be happy when Blaine and/or Shorts is gone so I don't get reminded of it every time we play them lol.

Fun fact: Sancheez(Spelled like that on purpose) is the only QB to beat Peyton n Brady in back to back weeks.

Jags got a couple weapons, they just have a gun that shoots blanks firing at them :funny: .......seriously somebody get pressure on Gabbert, If by chance we miss out on the playoffs this year I dont want to look back on the season and say......well we got beat by both Miami (overrated....watch and see, Poor defensive play calling cost us that game more then anything else) and Jacksonville

The injury bug always bites in sports period. We definitely have our share of injuries and this what happens especially in this sport, guys go down early not being able to show the league and the fans what they can fully do. All in all, this is a perfect storm for the Colts to execute on all ends in a divisional football game. This is the first divisional match up for a NEW team, to show the Division And the league what time it is! Don't forget about the Defense either, because right now their solid as a mountain with that D-line. Ooh but when Landry heals from the injury bug ladies and gents, you just may be looking at a Colts team who already look similarly erie to the old school Ravens. Cant forget about  The Angerer, when they all return and hopefully the rest of the team can stay healthy, all the pieces will come together for another trip to the Bowl!!!

    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
