We played very well against the Packers in the opener -- well played in every facet. We have not played that well since then. I expected us to blow out the Bears but we did not. We looked really bad against the Eagles. The Pats shut out the Lions that we nearly lost to. We almost lost to the Saints last week. 

 

If we can play like we played in the opener I would feel better.

 

Btw, my Mets are losing. 

Yeah I seen the Mets are down 2-0, good luck. I hope they win.

Matt Amendola - 2/8 from 40+ in NFL, a big reason Chiefs lose to the Colts , and the Cardinals in need of a kicker say “oh well, let’s sign him” and he misses another 43 yarder making it 2/9 from 40+ and they lose 17-20

 

Chiefs passed on McLaughlin and signed him, paid for it, wised up and signed a guy Matt Wright from CFL, 4/4 vs Bucs. Cardinals will also let him go, THIS IS IT in a Not For Long league for Matt Amendola, I’m certain.

Only one of those AFC East teams would be a WC. The other would be a top 4 seed. 

No it would be:

 

Buffalo in the East

Chiefs in the West

Either Bengals or Ravens in the North because 1 will be 3-2

Tennessee in the South

 

Then Miami, Chargers, and Jets as WCards. Don't worry the Jets suck though and won't maintain what they are doing. They will win maybe 7 or 8 games.

The way this year is playing out, I could honestly see the Jets making a run

@MB-ColtsFan How's your football Sunday?

Sorry, was offline for a bit putting the grandkids to bed and other stuff.

 

It was pretty good.  Saw the first half of the Giants win (stepson is super happy!) and a lot of Red Zone.

 

How does it feel being in first place all by your lonesome?  Undefeated in division play...not bad.

 

How was yours?  Have to feel happy with todays results.

Thanks. I had a good but busy Sunday. I don't think it will end well, as I am a Mets fan and they are two innings from being eliminated from the playoffs. (6-0 in the 8th)

 

Yes, the Vikings won and everyone else in the division lost. It is not a strong division. I expected more from the Lions but they keep losing like they always do. I was surprised we did not blow out the Bears. I will have to watch the replay of the game to see how they played.

 

I hope everything is better in Myrtle Beach now. Be well.

That has to be false because even 2 people could not handle Homey like that, he would eat them for breakfast :sarcasm: - much like Tennessee took Wentz lunch money at the end today haha 

That was Saleh's goons.

 

Came to collect.

Lamar Jackson, he doesn’t have touch on his deep throws vs the Bengals. That Watson contract outlier is going to haunt the Ravens. If I’m them, I’d franchise Lamar and trade him for a bunch of first rounders (3 at least) unless of course Lamar wins the SB.

I was watching the Bears-Vikings yesterday and thought I was rewatching last years Colt-Raven game. The Vikes got up 21-3 and then went to a very soft ridiculous zone defense so Fields could start completing easy underneath throws much like Jackson did against us last year. Bears came back and took the lead, but the Vikings did drive down and score late and win. Vikings should have won that game about 45-10. People complain about Matt Ryan, but Justin Fields has got to be the worst qb in the league. Fox kept putting up a graphic during the game tracking Fields completions and rushes for the season at one time it was 38 completions and 38 rushes. Think about that people next time you want to complain about Matt Ryan, the 5th game of the season and Fields had just thrown his 38th completed pass! WOW!

I already posted a lot about this yesterday but Matt Ryan is a better QB than Wentz is as well. I don't want to keep putting Wentz down because it makes me look a hater and a troll but Matt is better IMO. I think Matt Ryan is better than Tannehill too but as of now Tennessee has a half game lead on us and did beat us so my opinion could be debated. Only thing Tannehill has over Matt is, he can run better out of the pocket, he is faster.

Let me play devil's advocate, so the Bengals coach and gm should be fired?

Many would say that in here. The Bengals have actually been irrelevant as far as winning a SB since 1988 except for last year. Andy Dalton won 0 playoff games when the Bengals were at least good. I like Burrow but the Ravens may win that division now.

You are probably right Chad and unfortunately we do not have a good history playing those two teams. We still have 4 games that I consider automatic losses. Cowboys, Pats, Raiders, and that pathetically bad Steeler team. So that is 6 losses, not much margin for error on the rest of the schedule.

Plus, Joe Burrow and the Bengals, just a gut feeling inside, might end up like the Dan Marino Miami Dolphins. Make 1 SB appearance and won't sniff a SB the rest of their career in the loaded AFC.

We have not fared well against the Eagles, not won since 2006 in the Manning days. 2010 - Austin Collie first concussion game, 2014 Darren Sproles game, 2018 - part of Luck's slow start game, and with the way the Eagles are playing I am not sure about this year either. I would actually swap the Steelers for the Eagles this year. 

 

I had us at 10 games at 10-7 but now it is shaping up like 9-7-1 because of the tie.

There O.Line reminds me of when we had Luck. I feel sorry for Burrow.

 

I swear, the QB also makes the O-line. A lot of those guys came from good OL performances before they were signed. But then when Alex Cappa comes from Brady, we know how better an OL looks with Brady and Peyton throwing. Matt Ryan doesn't throw away as much as Brady or Peyton to live to fight another day but then how many QBs are Brady and Peyton like? :)

I had us at 11-6, it may actually be 9-7-1 which believe it or not will be good enough to win the division IMO if we beat the Jags and Tennessee in the rematches. We have to win at least 9.

A QB helps, quick releases, reading defenses, etc..Peyton and Brady both mastered that, that is why they are arguably the 2 best QB's ever. Rivers was a master at it too. I think Matt is under a lot of pressure here because when Irsay wanted him, he was saying that he would bring us a SB win. Taylor hasn't performed well either, last year Wentz used him as a crutch. Matt hasn't had that luxury so far.

    • I just want to point out that Ballard again told us the truth in his pre-draft presser. His answer to the question of whether he has changed anything in his draft philosophy, pretty much explains the Latu pick in view of him being a bit of a departure from what he's usually done (i.e. super high level athleticism, some projection of what the player can be vs what he is now)     His answer pretty much explains the Latu pick "of course you look for unique talent, unique traits, ...character... but then also... on the flip side of that making sure that we are drafting not only the unique traits but also some substance with the tape"...    So yeah, I think this answer a very good explanation of that pick... "substance with the tape". Not that Latu is not athletic. He is, but his athleticism is not his selling point. The selling point is the substance - the technical refinement, the tape, the production.    With that said... I wonder if we will continue to see that on day 2 and day 3? Can we see one of the Ballard's lowest RAS drafts? 
    • From @nsurg   "So he had a cervical fusion... this is a surgery I do frequently.  Once it heals the surgery is more or less the strongest part of the neck.  The biggest problems with a fusion in this context are:        (1) loss of nerve function prior to surgery may or may not recover after surgery, usually over the next 3-12 months (but his production after surgery implies no major concern on this)        (2) the patient will have somewhat accelerated wear/arthritis at non fused levels.  While this is a real concern, it will unfortunately be more of an issue for him later in life, after his NFL career.                 Peyton had this surgery as his final neck surgery before playing for the broncos, but his problem was number one above, he apparently never had the same arm strength as before.        Ahmad Bradshaw also had this same surgery in 2013, he already had I think 6 years of RB play prior to that.  His YPC held up but was utilized less, but this may mirror more a tapering RB career.                 I'm not personally worried about the medical status of this player, but I have no idea the actual details obviously.  I will say that very few surgeons would be eager to clear the player to play afterwards, mostly for the stupid liability things in medicine.                 I think it's fair to say we got a really nice pick here for value."   https://forums.colts.com/topic/76891-colts-select-laiatu-latu-edge-ucla/?do=findComment&comment=2646941
    • I could see a Ryan Flournoy on day 3. He's one of those RAS guys.
    • I guess this means Chris has to be a regular on Rich Eisen's show now LMAO. He did say if Rich could get 6 QBs taken before us he would be a regular guest!
