Well,  if that's the case the winner tonight is meaningless. 

 

You realize who we root for has no effect on the outcome of the game right? 

Get outta here, my screaming at the tv has a profound effect on the game.

I wonder if Pats fans would root for the Colts if it helped them out in any way? I know most Pats fans hate the Colts.

Of course they would- it's only logical. Even the ones that so called hate the colts would root for them in that situation.

Logic trumps all. I see some say if we can't win on our own and not depend on help they would rather not make the playoffs. That's half the wins in the NFL lol.

I truly love your optimism but the wheels have come off for your team the last two weeks. No defense whatsoever. And this week was against the lousy Jags. Andrew has been a middler at best QB this year. He won't have a magic pill to solve things.

No one has said that.

By the way, being a fan is not based on logic.

Also he might step up in the pocket and avoid having a probable 13 point half time lead end up at 4.

False. The offense's inability to move the ball and score points has continually put an average defense in bad situations. Having high level QBing changes all of that.

And if Luck doesn't play well, then oh well. Obviously, this team's chances for success are based on our best player actually being our best player.

Maybe hit a receiver more than 20 yards down the field? 

How many deep shots did MH and Whitehurst underthrow today alone? MH had a good run, but if Luck comes back next week, it won't be a second too soon.

How do you feel about your new OC? Seems as though there are comms issues between him and the team. Do you think defenses have figured him out?

That would have helped.  I could understand it if it was his blind side.  He made several head scratching decisions today.

No, AM. I don't think defenses have figured out the new OC. I don't think there are communication issues either. You're concern is heartwarming, though.

You obviously didn't watch the game

Matt looked lost out there. It was an honest q but if you are too upset to want to discuss I get it. I will go visit the other threads ...

LOL, that's nice of you. I don't really believe you but whatever.

How can you connect 51 points against the Jags to the OC not doing a good job, but can't see the relation to Andrew Luck coming back? Whatever problems Chud/MH are having won't be an issue once Luck is back.

It was two separate comments. I think you have defensive issues big time that have surfaced these last two weeks. The offense has also sputtered and Matt looked bad today hence the question about the new OC. But if you believe all will be solved when Luck comes back then more power to you. Seems as if there a lot more issues to me on both sides.

What I don't get is how people don't realize a great Offense helps a Defense out. Had we had Andrew today we would've been up huge early. We can still win our last 3 games as I haven't gave up on us yet.

It still makes absolutely zero sense that you wouldn't want to take the 'if' out of your teams' postseason hope. 'If' the Colts win out this game means nothing...'if' the Colts take care of business they won't need help...'if' the Texans lose again we still have the inside track.

 

ACCEPT THE HELP!!! Just face the fact that your team may in fact need it because there is no guarantee that they can take care of business. I know you hate the patriots but holy spit it just doesn't make sense under any circumstance to root for the Texans at this point in the season if you truly want the Colts to make the playoffs. It honestly honestly baffles my mind.

I never said all will be solved when Luck comes back. 

Edit: Do you not realize that two separate comments can relate to each other?

Interestingly,  Yehoodi wrote that he rooted for two of your division rivals (Jets and Bills) when they played the Colts. However, he finds it baffling that Colts fans would root against the Pats.:scratch:

Same thing last week. Who knows what happens over the course of four quarters, but with better QBing, we probably have a two TD lead at halftime in both of these last two games.

At the beginning of the year when it was assumed the Colts would be the bigger threat, sure. But right now you are in a fight for a playoff spot with a team that you want to root for?

Makes no sense.

Yes ... I'm also ready to move on from the Matt Hasselbeck era. How many did they miss ? Dunno ... lots ? 

Also would like to add , before I exit this thread , the 50 spot was probably more on the offense than defense. Just my opinion , but this was more of a snowball effect than actual defensive ineptitude.

This is not college football. All games count the same -- whether they are won early or late in the season.

Many of us rooted for the Bengals when they played Houston.

It's all you need to know.

Terrible tackling, some questionable penalties (that PI?), and more terrible tackling. That's on the defense.

The rest was just like you said, a snowball of overall bad football in all phases, for the second week in a row. Doesn't speak well of Pagano and his staff.

Right. If the Pats/Texans game tonight matters, despite the fact that the Colts are still in control of their playoff chances, then whatever happened early in the season mattered.

Or it didn't, and Yehoodi just wanted to see the Colts lose. Which is something that goes along with being a fan sometimes.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
