We are clearly not more talented.   The Redskins have improved.    Between being on the road and the anticipated bad weather plus our injuries, the Colts are underdogs and have their work cut out for them....

I think it's a conspiracy within the Colts organization... I think they have known all along AC is out for the year but they keep dangling it in front of the fans that he is playing so it doesn't affect ticket sales.

 

You realize some fans are going to think you’re serious.   They’re not going to know you’re kidding.

I have been of the opinion that we need to make Braden Smith our RT. He is young, talented and available. I thought at least he looked promising in pre-season. I think it would lead to some consistency that we have not had in a long time. And with a veteran RG to help shoe him the ropes I think it would work

He will be a better guard. He is a stop gap at RT. I think Smith is the starting RG by game 7 or 8.

Then Clark dresses as the back up T, I guess.  Then goes in if Haeg or Smith has to replace Slauson.  Or do we use are other G, whoever that is.

 

I doubt it. Glowinski would probably go in if that happens

Could this be a hint Braden Smith will play tackle?

 

Andrew Luck will play behind his 37th different OL combination:

 

Quote

 

...the Colts will start their 37th different offensive line combination in front of Andrew Luck, according to Nat Newell of the Indianapolis Star.

 

Thirty-seventh?!

 

Luck will play his 72nd career game Sunday.

 

Joe Haeg started in Castonzo’s spot last week. Rookie Braden Smith and Le'Raven Clarkare the other tackles on the roster.

 

“It’ll be a new combination, and that’s a combination we will have a lot of confidence in,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “This is why we went big on the offensive line in the draft.”

Webb is on IR so it'll have to be different. It'll be either Smith or Clark.

Reich comment may point to Smith.

 

Colts coach Frank Reich said. “This is why we went big on the offensive line in the draft.”

The way that is said, it sounds like they consider Smith more than just a T for injury.  Otherwise, the statement would be a bit CYA in that they just went  big at G, not necessarily the oline.

If Braden starts then Luck will be on the run.

Well, with Webb out, Clark is going to have to dress.  Who starts may not matter much.  Either Clark or Haeg can play either T spot if Smith struggles too badly.

 

Also have to weigh the idea of getting Smith playing time under fire, even though Clark might be a better immediate option.

      Sure. I support that, too. What I don't get is people saying others need to stop discussing this subject or that people are ruining this message board by stating opinions they don't agree with.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      I know this doesn't compare to your children, but I have genuinely put in an effort as well not to yell or get violent since I've got my Labrador Retriever 2 1/2 years ago. She is my life, and I always want her to be comfortable around me. I've finally got on some good medication that has lowered my outbursts, and I'm probably living a better life than I have since 2011 which was the last year I had a huge social life and was traveling and playing pokemon with all my best friends.    I just enjoy sports a ton and is still a mini-escape from life. I want to feel like I can enjoy a journey that my team can win a championship. If we lose, that's one thing and I'm fine with it as long as there is maximum effort given. When we lose and it's due to circumstances out of our control (injuries) seemingly every year, that's when I become apathetic towards the team over time.   The Atlanta Braves had a horrible season with injuries this year, but because we won a WS three years ago and make the playoffs every year, it's more forgivable. When we just lose every year, or the times we win it's a QB like Rivers who has 1 year with us and he retires, I just give up. I have no control to fix the team myself, and I resort to playing Madden instead.   Also, I'm sorry that you lost your friend in NC due to the flooding. That has to be horrible to go through. I have a bunch of friends in the South who lost power for 3 1/2 days and a cousin in Florida whose house got destroyed and she has to move in with her sister now. That hurricane sucked for so many people.

      I’d say Levis is worse than AR as of this season. He’s single handedly lost the Titans multiple games.

      You’re right. You have every right to have your opinion.    Odds are stacked in favor of failure more than success in the NFL. Sustained winning is hard. Avoiding injuries is hard nowadays for QBs… More than likely due to the odds the Colts will be continuing to search for a QB in the future.    It is what it is.

      I’m sorry you feel this way. I’ve struggled with it in the past. I’ve made a post a few weeks back but it bears repeating:   I used to get irrationally angry watching Colts games. It was bad. It was violent. Looking back, it was embarrassing.   What finally changed for me was seeing the look of fear in my little children’s eyes staring up at me with tears. It… washed away my cares for the Colts. That probably sounds bad, but I no longer care as much about what happens with the team. It was one my entire persona. It was as if my own personal happiness stemmed from the team’s success.    All I can tell you is that at some point you’ll learn to separate the Colts from your personal identify.    There are other things truly more worthy of your worries and stress than a football team. I promise you.    Be well and cherish life. I recently lost a great friend in NC due to the horrible flooding. Life is too short to waste it away fretting over the Colts.
