You really needed a Tennessee win vs Green Bay to come to that conclusion?

 

The Packers have been unimpressive for some time now. A lot of people on this board knew that, but it was almost impossible to get through to all the Colts fans who were high on that "big time win against a quality team like the Packers".

Tennessee is manhandling Green Bay right now so the question is that is Green Bay not as good as we thought they were?

They are who we thought they were.  Now,  do we want them to be more then they are and we think they aren't what we need them to be?  

 

This question is what this team needs to answer next week

Last week was a big win in that it was a much needed one. Not sure how impressive it was though since they had to hold on to beat a subpar Green Bay while the Titans steamrolled that same team. This is some needed perspective to temper our expectations down the stretch. The Colts still have a long way to go before they can be considered a good football team.

The Packers are pretty much the Colts of the NFC.  Struggling franchise QB with little else around him and a porous defense.  It's like looking in a mirror.

Comparing our win to the Titans win is folly. Middle of the pack teams like ourselves and Tennessee are notorious for showing up and exploding every other week. 

 

The same Titans team could end up either scoring 50 on us, or only 6. The entire team from the defense to the QB is Jekyll and Hyde. 

 

That, is the definition of our entire division to be honest.

Once could even argue we might have a better roster

I'm not going to diminish our win at all.   We could have went up there and folded like the "Bad Team" people keep trying to say we are.  That's what a bad team does they fold when they need to get over the hump.   We didn't fold so it was a good win.

Anytime you win at Green Bay, it's a good win.  An NFL writer wrote an article before the Colts Packers game and said that the winner could change their season around and the loser would go down hill.  He could be right, all though the Colts still have work to do and the NFC North is pretty weak.  Minnesota isn't the same team, Chicago's out of it and Detroit's leading but not by much.

Yes because of how the Colts played.  That looked like the team we expected to see this year.  Something we can't say about any other game this year, even the games they won.  

 

The Packers might not be great this year but it doesn't change the fact the Colts played well and gives us all a reason for hope going into the back half of the schedule.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      I hope we’re not planning to play Blackmon at FS. He may have experience there but his worst football has been at FS. He’s by far a better SS.    I think Cross is best as Blackmons backup at SS. Hope Scott can play FS, then we’ll have to rely on Thomas as his backup. 🤢

      First, when I listened to Ballard on McAfee, I basically heard him say they're going to watch other teams sign veteran players, and they plan to roll with what they have. So that's what I expect.   Second, I think it's possible that people who talk about Cross and other players on the roster are overly critical. I guess we'll see.   Lastly, and this is more cynical on my part, I think the biggest problem with our pass coverage is the way the defense is called by Bradley. And that being the case, the most meaningful improvement will come from really good pass rush. So everyone is focused on who's playing corner and safety, and I'm more interested in what the defensive line does.

      Chad?   What does this even mean?   “Letting it go to waste like he did with Raimann”.      Can you elaborate please?   You lost me.

      I guess the simple reply is that whether you agree or not that those guys were starting level corners, they were not available last year. So watching Baker and Brown get torched and saying 'we went into the season with a bad secondary and we're doing it again!' is a misrepresentation, IMO.   If we were to go more in depth, I'd disagree with your characterization of Rodgers. I think he was a solid starting option, and should have been playing more even sooner. And it wasn't until after the draft last year that anyone knew he was in trouble. Flowers was unproven, but I think he was better than the players who had to replace him.    I agree with the last sentence. Assuming nothing drastic happens between now and the start of the season, I'd argue that this year's secondary should be better, just by virtue of the experience that players like Jones and Brents got last year, plus a hope for Flowers to return. And I think that's what Ballard and Co. are counting on. Whether we think that's the best strategy or not. I'd rather see them add a veteran, but I'm not going to harp on it endlessly, and I'll judge the plan on the results, not against my expectations.
