Year after year of drafting great defensive talent, they put it all together with the right QB. Please keep Bortles so that doesn't happen. He is due 19 million next year with zero dead cap if they cut him. I bet they push hard for cousins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtsBlitz Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 46 minutes ago, BR-549 said: Could say the same about us last year and the year before (and some this year, our youth shows). But the difference between good and bad teams is that normally the good teams find a way to win. Which we did today so it is a positive move for us. We are just a handful of people away. Definitely saw some good things today. That handful could be our injured players. Luck obviously, but there's also Swoope, Doyle was hurt, Quincy Wilson needs to get healthy, Geathers, and Rodgers. I think the return of Luck, Doyle, and Wilson are the ones we need back the most. Wilson should replace Vontae Davis since he's been so bad.

Me personally, I can't really help the way I feel and I just don't feel great after wins like this. It wasn't a great win for sure, but at this point we just need as many Ws as we can get before Luck gets back. Then we'll see the potential for this team. I'll take extremely ugly wins if it means we're not out of it by the time Luck is ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson is really good. He should've started Week 1. Never understand why a top QB pick doesn't instantly start. That top pick is the future yeah we will be in trouble if the jags find one this off-season then both of them will be fighting each other for the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know they'd get steamrolled in January. That's true, but winning a SB doesn't happen over night (unless it's literally the night before the Super Bowl ). In order to build a Super Bowl calibre team, you need not only good talent and coaching, but you also need to develop a winning culture. You do that by winning your division and constantly competing for the playoffs. And even if the Colts do sneak in by virtue of a weak AFC South, they'll always have a shot as long as 12 is healthy.

coltsfanatic24 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The division is much better than it was the years we went 11-5. It's going to take 10 wins to win this division and that's going to be difficult without Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Still in it but make now mistake the AFC South is getting better. Titans: Marcus Mariota is only going to get better but they are in the same spot as The Colts with Luck in terms of keeping him healthy Texans: Finally have a QB although they suffered some major losses on defense tonight. Jags: only team in the division that shouldn’t feel good with their QB situation but have a really good defense, especially secondary, and a good running RB and WRs to offset the QB weakness.

crazycolt1 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 5 hours ago, Luck is Good said: Jaguars picked off Ben FIVE times today. Good god that's awful. Chiefs are the absolute clear favorite in the AFC right now. That game tonight against the Texans will go a long way in telling us a lot about both teams Maybe Ben through 5 picks? IMO Ben is washed up. He will have a decent game every once in a while but he should have retired last season like he talked about. He has been beaten on his whole career and had he not been as big and strong as he was he would have been done long before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck 4 president Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Jags are legit outside of Bortles. DeSean Watson is a baller and looking better each week. Their defense is not as good as last year but their offense looks 5x better. The Titans are legit with Mariota. It's going to be a tough division even if Luck plays like in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be 0-5 if they weren't playing the bottom of the league every week. Two west coast games on the road in the first month against two very good defenses and a surging offense in LA, the Broncos, the Steelers and 6 division games is not an easy schedule.

Narcosys Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 14 hours ago, ColtsFanMikeC said: As bad as we have looked so far this season (sure there have been a few glimmers of hope, but we've gotten blown out twice, given a game away and barely held on to games against two very poor teams in CLE and SF), we are still tied for 2nd in the AFC South at 2-3. The Titans will likely lose tonight to KC, so it may well be Jax and 3-2 and three others at 2-3 in the AFC South going into week 6. The Jags are all over the board with big wins over Texans, Ravens and Steelers along with a loss to NYJ and a big loss to Titans. A week or 2 ago I would have said "Let's sit Luck, tank the season, and hope for a good draft pick" -- but with Ryan Kelly back and the defense looking like it may continue to improve throughout the season, we may have an actual shot at winning the AFC South w/ a healthy Luck at the helm. And do what? So what we win the division? Lets put luck at risk just to win the division and get destroyed in the playoffs again. Forget that, sit luck and build brissett's trade value. If he is really good, keep him and trade luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
