Yeah, and they lost most of their good players from that team, yet you still claim they are better than us haha, their own fans don't even believe that

The fans vastly overrate the Colts every year. That is why they thought Peyton should have won more Super Bowls. It is call unrealistic expectations. The Ravens have a good QB, a great coach and yes, they will be better than the Colts.

Good QB? Joe Flacco, ok he's above average, but Andrew Luck > Flacco all day every day

 

What makes Baltimore better than us? They have a better coach? Ok? This team failed to make the playoffs last year and have added no one, oh, and they lost Arthur Jones to us, their top defensive lineman :)

I will let you in on a secret. This is a Colts fan forum. People tend to get optimistic about the Colts. I see you are newer here. For years......well some of us...tend to get optimistic. And here is another secret, I picked the Colts to go to the SB last year. But, when they lost to NE it did not bother me much the next day. I brush off losses relatively easily considering my "unrealistic expectations". I look at sports as mainly entertainment and if I don't get enjoyment out of it then why bother.... I don't take it THAT seriously, I don't bet money on the games and I will likely pick the Colts to go far again. So be it. And if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen, life will go on.

 

And quite honestly there is a chance the Colts WILL be in the mix in the end in the playoffs again so it's not like we are Raiders fans sitting around as if we were just shot up on something making us act completely and unrealistically loopy about our teams chances.

 

Nobody should have to apologize for cheerleading their team on their own teams forum IMO.

 

And face it, there is a chance the Colts will/could be a SB contender next season from the AFC and make a deep run. You may not agree or like it but it's just as much of an opinionated "fact" as you claiming the Ravens will be better then us or that we are vastly overrating the team in only March.

Flacco has his Super Bowl win and that will keep him ahead of Luck until Andrew gets one if he ever gets to the game.

You are dreaming. We have no offensive line. None and it isn't going to be fixed in the draft. New England is better. Cincy is better, the Ravens are better and the Chargers are better. And if the Colts do not fix these problems, after the draft, the Texans may be better. I love them but lets not get silly. We still need lots of pieces.

 

You told me the same in NFL General earlier. So are you the new dream police for the forums?

 

Wait.....the Texans. Okay based on the draft alone? So let me get this straight. Not only will the Colts be worse then all the playoff teams from the AFC last year but now they may even be worse then the team who has not won a game since last September? Granted it is possible Houston turns it around and all but if you think we have unanswered questions and holes I am not sure what you can call Houston who is starting over at HC and QB.

 

Woooooo..........

You're kidding, right?

 

Dilfer is better than Luck?

 

Even better, Manning is equivalent to Dilfer?

 

Manning is equivalent to Flacco?

 

How about Marino being worse than Dilfer?

 

Stop. Just stop.

Manning has been to three Super Bowls. That puts him ahead of all of them and Yes, Dilfer's win put him ahead of Luck for the time being. Luck may never get to a Super Bowl. Marino got to one. Great QB but most folks put great store in winning Super Bowls. Many of those QBs are better than Joe Montana statistics wise but those four SBs have most people rating him at he top.

Elway thinks buying all these players garrantee's them a SB championship I think he should ask Philly how that worked for them it didn't we all know that and Peyton is the best Regular season QB sucks in the playoffs.

Eagles didnt have a good QB.  And your last statement is unsubstantiated by the facts.

LOL @ Baltimore reference.

They haven't been relevant in the league for years now, save for their past super bowl win on a 10-6 season.

What , 5 playoff appearances , three AFC Championship game appearances , and a Super Bowl win , not relevant ? Really ?

Back to the thread , the Colts are on the upswing, and the Broncos on the down slide. Elway reminds me of George Allen and his Washington Redskins " Over the Hill Gang " of the early 1970's.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday

      We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?

      Here's to hoping Colts hit the jackpot and everyone looks back saying wow he was definitely the best wr in that draft...
