Heheheee..   I guess we are still the little market team that is winning with mirrors.

 

I really hope someone steps up for Reggie and we shove this "national" perception straight down the media's throat.  

 

Indy's combined schedule so far is 26-21.

 

Beat ALL OF THE TOP 3,,,,       And have not been blown out in any game.    I don't really see the logic.   

 

But whatever it is what it is...

We're a little low on this poll IMO, but on the other hand ESPN had has at #2 which I think is definitely a little high. I don't understand the logic behind putting us behind San Fran right now, but otherwise a case could be made for the Broncos, Seahawks, and Saints all to be ahead us despite us having beaten two of them. Bengals have the same record I believe but our wins are more impressive.

 

To be honest I feel this team does better when it plays the role of underdog which is why our next game concerns me. We seem to play up or play down to our competition. Will be interesting to see how we do in Houston in a week as a favorite and without Reggie.

Being ranked behind New England and Cinn is just plain baseless. You have to consider who the teams beat , margins of victory and who the losses are to. No way does that equate to them being ahead of us. That said... I don't care.

This Colts team is legit, but we still wouldn’t take them on a neutral field against a team like New Orleans. Conversely, this Broncos squad isn’t perfect. But we’d still play them on neutral turf against a team like San Francisco.

 

 

Umm, hello? We beat the Niners in their house.

 

I don't care about power rankings, but that kind of logic (or lack thereof) is annoying.

I'm with you.  And then they go on to say we aren't getting moved up because of losses to a 3-3 team and a 4-3 team. 

 

Uhhhmmm...  let's take a sec to look at all 3 teams with 5-2 records...

 

                    5 Wins                2 Losses

               (comb. record)     (comb. record)

Bengals         18-15                    7-7

Patriots          14-19                    9-5

Colts              19-15                    7-6

I agree, plus having Cincy ranked ahead of us is downright comically ignorant. The best team Cincy has beat is NE and I'm not convinced NE is really that good. Other than them they have beaten nobody. I also think were better than the Packers, Saints, and the Chiefs who have beaten not a single really good team.

    • If hes not waking up and sleeping doing something to get better. He better be throwing touchdowns in his sleep.
    • Why does Steichen play calling remind me so much of Frank Reich? 3 runs up the middle, then call a screen on 3rd and 17. He's had some really bad series play calling wise these last few games.  Speaking of, how is this team still so bad at running/defending screens still??    Franklin needs to be benched. That dude is doing his best Shaq Leonard impression and and he flat out sucks.    It would be nice to see a TE pass once a game for crying out loud.    That was a game of who's QB is less crappy. (not sure ours was better tbh) but that was brutal to watch.    AR has got to figure out his footwork. These sailing balls are out of control and happen way too often. Then when he tried to put touch on the pass, it's underthrown. They have got to devote more time to his mechanics.    I would've liked to see better blocking for JT. JT made some stuff happen, but he got stuffed quite often too. There are other runs beside up the middle there Steichen.    AR playing out of shotgun is getting old.    If Latu stays healthy, we got the steal of the draft.    I will say that if your O-line features Matt Pryor at guard, you're gonna have problems. 
    • Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin    
    • I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.
