2006Coltsbestever Ring of Honor

We have to rely on Jacks to beat the Titans LOL and the Texans lose their last 2 and we win out. If that happens I am playing the lottery. We will finish 8-8 again, probably lose to Oakland and beat stinky Jacks. Hard to ever imagine us finishing less than 8-8 with Luck at QB playing all season and that is where we will be, having said that we wont see 11-5's again for a while until we build a better Defense and get a RB who can at least get you 100 Yards 5 or 6 times a season. By the way Irsay probably wont fire Chuck now, so much for that talk. Only good news is, Titans will probably win the Division instead of the Texans which if I had my choice, I would root for them over the Texans. We have the Titans number for some reason so hopefully that carries over to next season. Texans are just a dumpster at QB and got lucky today, they got lucky against us in the game at Houston as well. Brock gets benched for Tom Savage LOL.

Isn't it sad that just a few years ago Tenn was hot garbage with guys like Hasselbeck and Mettenberg/clipboard Jesus at QB and have over taken us now for the division?

 

They sure rebuilt quicker then we retooled...

Wait, do you honestly feel that RB has been a problem?  From my viewpoint, RB has been one of the few bright spots this season.

They did it right. Built a better defense and made sure to focus on the offensive line in both the draft and free agency.

That's why it's a travesty we're in the spot we are.

 

Grigs and Pags have definitely let us down to put it nicely.

Gore is solid but he's old, I like Frank but we need a RB that Defenses have to respect every week. 5 years ago Frank could do that, now he plays Good about every 2 or 3 games.

This is what happens to teams who can't handle their own business

 

It's funny when people say we didn't handle our own business like we're so much better than the other teams in the division. 

 

I say we played just like we were supposed to.

Somewhat, they did blow a 16 point lead @ Houston which was just a huge blow.  Knowing that this team lost to Houston twice is pretty demoralizing, lol.  Houston is a pretty bad team.

They have won 11 straight division games. What does that make us?

Solid win today though at least. 

 

Yeah, I can't rain on this parade.  The Vikings are not the train wreck that the Jets are.  I didn't see this one coming.  All I heard about all week was how monstrous the Vikings' pass rush was and how Luck was going to get pounded all game.  I wasn't expecting the Colts to just dominate this game.  A really good win.  Unfortunately, it most likely too little, too late at this point.

Yeah I was worried, in particular about Luck taking a beating but man the team played really well today.  I do agree unfortunately a little to late though most likely.  The Oakland game will be fun though maybe the Colts can rain on their parade haha .

      Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am….  But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.   And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.

      Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.

      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.
