We need 1 more draft to add to the D I agree, I still like JB as QB for now but our D needs a dominant pass rusher.

 

The defense is bad. Leonard is the only consistent impact player on the defense. 

Desir, Autry and Hunt are nowhere playing at the same level as last season.

Particularly, we could use guys who can contribute right away on defense or at the very least aren't super raw. Guys like Rock and Banogu were never really gonna help out right away.

I stand corrected....that is one team.  This D has a long way to go.  I just don't think the talent is there and that is on Ballard.  The D line gets no pressure and gets man handled.  The line backers can't cover.  This all reminds me of the Dungy years.

Yeah the Dungy Years stunk from 2003-2007 when we won a SB and went 63-17. :sarcasm:

And to show any given Sunday....The Bucs have hung 48 on the Rams at LA.

That's why you can't get to caught up in today's NFL. Teams go from good to crap real quick and any team can win at any time.

 

The Lions literally handed KC the game today. They had them beat.

That is why people miss Peyton because with him 12-4/13-3 was automatic every year.

That's exactly why I posted today our fanbase is a bit soft/spoiled.

 

You've just got to survive the season, hopefully get into the dance, then make a run.

 

Almost impossible to lead the season wire to wire and win a SB.

Good news. It's a long season ahead still.

 

Bad news. It's a long season ahead still.

 

Bad news. Anyone who thought the Raiders would be 'easy' clearly paid no attention last season when the only thing that stopped them from beating the Colts was a turnover from Leonard and Luck turning it on to build on that turnover. Indy didnt stop them last year and this defense is no different (arguably worse). 

 

Good news. There're still deficient QBs on Indy's schedule. 10/11 wins is still very well within range.

I agree.....many either weren't old enough or just want to forget the pre-Peyton years.....they don't know what crap football was....I've been to games at the Hoosier Dome watching Mike Pagel throw grounders etc....I was still a kid but it makes me appreciate even this year.

Yup, REGULAR football hasn't been around Indy for about 20 years. I'm probably your generation of fandom. 

 

The 30+ year joke between my friends and I is 'who was your sports idle growing up??? My reply always 'Jeff George'... Lol

 

They don't know the days of 'why are you a colts fan?' or 'the Colts, really?'..

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward.
