Colts NFL Defense Rankings (1st in sacks)

Recommended Posts

It’s amazing how we went from one of the better offenses a few years ago, to a below average offense. And a terrible defense to one of the best in the league.

 

Imagine if our offense can get back to speed. We will actually be a great football team! It’s just hard to see a lot of ours favorite player, Luck struggling so much.

Am I the one not thinking were THAT good on D? We're way better than before, but we still get gashed by the run and leave receivers/TEs wide open at times. We're very inconsistent. Even when its bad it tends to be real bad. I'm not going to call us one of the best defenses in the league until we become consistent. Im loving the potential though. However, 3 games is a very small sample size.

You're getting way ahead of yourself. We are nowhere near one of the best defenses in the league. Our defense is making a ton of plays (sacks, pics, fumbles, tfl amd 3rd down stops) and it's awesome but we are still very inconsistent. We are very young on D which allows room to grow and we still don't have all the pieces to the puzzle. Let's hope that we get to the point where we can give them a legit name.

We will drop once the more consistent defenses show that they are the more elite brand, but we ARE leading the league (tied for 1st) in sacks. We have only allowed 1 TD in two weeks of football. Those are signs of a very good defense at least.

 

I respect where you come from though since it has only been 3 weeks. It’s definitely a fair point

The funniest part, people were worried about where our pass rush would come from. I guess that's been answered. Now I know it's only been three games, but if they can keep this up all season, There's gonna be a lot of people eating crow on this forum. (Myself included) when it comes to the D

    • Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!
    • I remember looking for highlights of TJ after we drafted him.  I kept finding videos of him following OJ Howard into the endzone.  Not sure if Howard was his responsibility, but it didn't paint a promising picture.
    • Ballard,   So, yeah, about that whole "bust" thing—I guess the cat's out of the bag. Turns out, I'm more of a popcorn fart than a thunderclap. My bad.   When you drafted me, I thought I was gonna be the Colts' next big thing. You know, sacking quarterbacks, making highlight reels, maybe even getting my face on a cereal box someday. But instead, I've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.   I've watched the tapes, Coach. I've seen the memes. They're comparing my NFL career to a hangover—starts off with high hopes, and ends with regret and a lot of Gatorade. And honestly, I get it. I'm like that guest who shows up to a party uninvited and ends up eating all the chips.   So, here's my mea culpa. I apologize for not living up to the hype. For every missed tackle, every missed sack, and that one time I accidentally tackled our own quarterback in practice (sorry, Philip). I'm like the guy who brings a guitar to a party and insists on playing Wonderwall—I'm annoying and not nearly as good as I think I am.   But hey, I'm not giving up. I'm hitting the gym, studying film (mostly bloopers at this point), and practicing my touchdown dance for when pigs finally fly. I promise to work harder and maybe, just maybe, I'll redeem myself and earn my place in the Hall of Mediocrity.   Thanks for believing in me, and letting me live my dream for 4 years straight whilst simultaneously producing nothing for your team. I'll make you proud yet, even if it's just by being the team's MVP of Bust Central, and we aren't talking bronze heads.    Sincerely, Ben "The Bust" Banagous (Not sponsored by Gatorade yet, but a guy can dream)
    • if you scream MODS! in anything I write,  I might get in trouble. hahaha
    • MODS!  This should be enough to force you to bring back the laughing emoji option!   Funny stuff!
