I thought there were a lot of good things for the future like Cribbs, Purifoy, Moncrief, and Boom... as well as the overall way the defense looked and played. Vontae was scary good. The o-line was the opposite.

 

Lots of good. Not saying we looked that good, or that Jax is very good.  But we have to remember that they beat a pretty good Browns team a few weeks ago.  

 

Still, have to straighten out that O line.

I'm all for permanently benching Thornton and never letting Reitz play OT again.

Reitz looked better at G.  Hopefully Cherilus is back next week.

 

I'd still like to see Holmes play.  Now that he's supposedly a guard, maybe he'll get a shot.

I agree Reitz is fine at guard. If Cherilus can get healthy he can be good. Thornton really is the weakest link on the line right now.

I did enjoy seeing Boom get solid playing time and seeing what Cribbs could do. Besides those and TY, it was very much "meh."

I didn't get to watch the game -- from hearing Pagano's post-game and from looking at the box score, it appears like Cribbs showed more explosiveness than Griff, but I can't know for sure without having seen the game.

Played jacksonville enough said they should of dominated them from the start. I want them to play lights out against a quality team and not get put on their butts

 

 

Ahhhh... never noticed it was Jacksonville. I thought it was still New England.

We beat them and head to head matchups are first. We are 7-4 and they are 5-6.

 

 

That just gives you a temporary tie breaker (with a 2 game lead) until we play them again. Example... Colts lose to Texana and Tenn and win the rest of their games. They finish 4-2 in division and 10-6. Texans win out. They finish 5-1 in the division and 10-6 over all. Texans make up 2 games on Colts and win the division. So where's the 3 game lead ?

OK. 2.5 games. We haven't lost to the Texans so the example is invalid.

It's 2 games with a tie breaker. There just is no such thing (unless there's a tie) as a 2.5 game lead when both teams have played the same amount of games. The talking heads call it that but I can't help it ... it's incorrect. Once again if you go back to she scenario I gave you , wr would lose the division not win it by the "mystical "1/2 game. If we had beaten them twice at this point in the season , it would be a 3 game lead .  As it stands now , it's a 2 game lead with the Colts presently holding the tie breaker.

Im truly sorry some of you did not enjoy beating a division opponent, in front of a loud sellout home crowd, in decisive fashion. To me, any win in the NFL is a big deal. The Jags had two weeks to do nothing but prepare for the Colts. We got their best shot and still easily covered a 14 point spread. TY's TD, the goaline stand, and Cribbs almost TD stand out. Learn to enjoy it, it never lasts forever (unless you're new england)

Was not trying to be rude just saying.  I want to see the offense and defense put a good quality game together against a good team and not for everyone to say how good they played against a team they should of dominated from the beginning, And if we all look at it this game it was not a barn burner from a offensive standpoint they struggled the entire first half by missing assignments and or just flat out getting out manned, Yes I want them to get all these bad games out of the way in which they act so clueless on both side of the ball before playoffs starts.

Neither was I. My only point is you can only beat who you play. We'll need to play better vs the teams like Denver and NE, but it is what it is.

Yea your right you must beat the team in front of you no matter who it is and by all means a division win is important and a win is a win, Really hope they can start on executing better before the playoffs start

He did.  First return was out the 35 or so.  He also had a punt return TD called back.

      AR15 thru 2 games thus far:

      By DougDew · Posted

      I agree to  point, it depends upon what the demands are.  But Mannings should have the clout to influence, maybe not control, Arch's destiny (if he's going to be that good, we don't know that yet).  And in a way, I'm not sure the NFL FO would get in the way a lot as to not see one of its potential stars....in terms of play and name legacy...get ruined by a bad organization and out of the NFL in a short time.   I think the chances of your prognostication happening are decent.  It will be interesting.

      I think the  Peyton would not  want him going to Indy. You would have the never ending comparisons and I believe that was part of Eli not wanting to play for the Chargers. I could be wrong but I believe they wanted him in the NFC. The bigger point is also that if it came to be that  the Colts had the pick when Manning was available. That would also be an indication that the Colts would be a dumpster fire and they would probably want no part of it.  Based on wins, losses, lack of play off success, FO office drama. I bet the Colts has lost some of it's value. Sure it is still worth billions but no doubt the shine is no longer there

      How to fix the colts

      By DougDew · Posted

      No, and this is not news.  For a while, folks have been leaning on the Buckner trade as being a great (use of) pick.  But Buck was known as a very good NFL player already, which is not the same thing as using picks on college players you think should be good.  The college evaluation/valuation process has not been good.  That's pretty evident, IMO.

      How to fix the colts

      By Zoltan · Posted

      Easiest way to fix the Colts defense is to fire Gus Bradley. First it was Michael Lombardi (who I generally don't agree with) who said that Gus defense is simple and now even JJ Watt has said that he runs a defense that doesn't make adjustments for the opponent and defensives that that don't do that generally fail in the NFL. It's interesting to see two weeks in and more and more people are coming out and saying that " Bradley's system is ineffective."   It won't help us much this year but I do believe that Bradley's system is holding back the talent on the defense and him having favorites puts blinders on improving positions (Facyson).

      When  it is his draft year, he will most likely be the number 1 pick if he continues to excel. There is not doubt in my mind that if the team that is picking is a complete dumpster fire. The Mannings will pull another Eli. They will have a lot of control and the team that is drafting him will have to give into the Manning's recommendations. Thats the way it should be. I always said Bryce Young would be a bust due to his body makeup. That being said, he is getting no help in Carolina and it basically looks like his career is over after only 2 years. This will not happen to Manning. I bet if  Manning's draft year next  was in 2025 and Carolina had the pick.  The Mannings would probably have a list of demands before even entertaining the thought of Manning going there and that is the way it should be.
