Gonna be .500 if we’re lucky this year.  Defense has regressed so bad!  Last year was definitely a fluke.  Better than they used to be but still not good 

Seeing how bad Falcons are. I am thinking 6-10. 

 

Colts are really going need to think about a new QB too. Time to build

seriously though, why is our defense dog % year in year out. Last year gave me so much hope and I thought we were gonna build on it...

Well to be fair, most of us felt this defense was on the cusp. Most thought that Eberflus had exceptional ability to take this team to the next level and all the talent we added was going to get us there. I keep seeing the same defense we’ve had over the years when we all came out with excitement. Nobody has made a real play today on either side of the line. I suspect we chalk this game up as a learning experience. Quite honestly, I think this team has been managed soft with all the day offs, and all the preseason games off for the starters. It’s just questionable strategy for me. NE wasn’t sitting their starters and they’ve come out in mid season stride.

I'm just as mad as all of you. We look badly coached and our effort is not great. But once we have our guys back, we are a very competitive team. Our top two players are out on defense. Our only WR(lol) is out. It's not fun to watch, but at least the young bucks are learning. 

 

I'm more heated about our play calling. Run, Run, Pass down 14 with 1 min left in the 3rd Q? Maybe take some chances

Eh, almost every team stopped playing starters in preseason this year, so that's iffy.... And all what extra days off? Haven't heard about those?

    • Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.     
    • Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light. 
    • Insane that this has been going on since 2015. From what I gather it’s due to the NFL making Sunday Ticket too expensive on purpose so only a select amount of people can purchase it, forcing most to use CBS and Fox. 
    • Many are calling the Pacers pick of Furphy as a huge draft steal. Most projections had him in the top 20 of the 1st round, and even a few felt he could be as early as top 5!    That young man could be a huge contributor for the team next year. 
    • Diana Taurasi has been trashing on Clark and Indiana since April. And today the Fever finally had a chance to shut her mouth up. Fever win over the Mercury 88-82.
