BOTT Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 4 minutes ago, Lawrence Owen said: For those thinking tanking is the way to go..think on this,... You start tanking on purpose, you run the very REAL risk of forgetting how to actually play to win. Yes, you get a decent pick, But seriously, how much good does that do when your team gets USED to loosing? Keep playing hard,..win what you can win, draft who you need, and continue to play tough and stay on top of your game. That is the formula to win long term,...not tank now..hope for better later. Plus tanking for a draft pick is the same as a boxer taking a fall for a big payday. You want the rest of the NFL and their fans to see YOUR team as such?....REALLY? Tanking isn't realistic anyway.

I get it, many think Doyle is having a better year than Allen. Regardless, Allen's role on this team, when he is healthy is to act as TE1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtStrong Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 7 minutes ago, 21isSuperman said: The ideal is that we lose so many games, Grigson won't even be around to make the next pick. Higher draft slot and the chances of firing Pagano and Grigson are much higher. You make a fair point, but I just really hate losing, and so do the players. My guess is that we're probably stuck with Grigson/Pagano for a while. But I still think Grigs has more to do with it than Pags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A8bil Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Definitely in play. People will be getting healthy, but more importantly, the offensive line will have time to gel before the playoffs. It's all about momentum. If the Colts can gain more consistently and tighten up their defense, you never know what happens in the playoffs. Too soon to predict they'll get there, but also too soon to write them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the doom and gloom a lot of our fans have about the run defense, and the way the NFL experts say, i think we did ok in that department. BUt we really need to work on better tackling. Even D.Q. has missed quite a few this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill defend the refs mcnary hit. Mcnary destroyed a guy who wasn't even being thrown at. Had no chance to catch the ball. And he hit him way too early. So at best it could be a really bad pass interference call. The street hit was perfect timing, the ball was literally in his hands albeit an Andrew Luck overthrow. Also the hit was perfect and clean. Square in the chest. Not high, not low. The key difference is that one just killed a guy not even involved in the play and the other one was just a perfect hit on a receiver attempting to make a difficult catch. One guy did his job and the other did not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockeDown Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Our team is catching a lot of grief nationally, but I like that our FO and team comes out and competes. Their denying that we are bad is kinda neat in that they believe in theirselves. We are in every game and our offense is a 34 point machine. We knew at the beginning of the season our pass rush would have to be up the middle. TY McGill showed what we need to happen this season. Get more of that and we win a few more games.

Lawrence Owen Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 i Know the goal is to make the playoffs..then the superbowl. And yes,..right now our defense does not show playoff caliber play. But it is still early. Tackling and QB pressure is our biggest problems. Today, Ted made a step towards helping in the pressure dept by dialing up some blitzes early and often. Tackling is something that can be cured over time with proper coaching. Still plenty of football left to play this year before the post season gets here,...just need to keep working on those things. I personally think our offenseIS already playoff caliber. and We are not even healthy on offense for the most part. The o-line is starting to play better the past 2 weeks, and Luck has steadily improved every game, in all areas of his development. There is a chance we can grow into a playoff team by the years end,...but would be all for not if we don't win enough to get there in the first place.

pgt_rob Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I could not believe the delay of game call when Street threw the ball down. THE FRIGGIN BALL BOUNCED UP AND INTO THE REFS HANDS! If anything, that was super quick ball passing to the ref. Then the call on Green who wasn't even in the game at that moment. Vontae had some great coverage. Did the refs all get together this week for a pow-wow and come to the conclusion to throw more flags or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
