I agree, that is pure coaching. They could insert Homer Simpson at QB and win 11 games  I love that audible Purdy just called. He yelled out JIMMY G hut

That is funny. :funny: You may be right.

 

I wanted the Vikes to use a late-round pick on Brock Purdy. I liked him in college. One Iowa St alum who is a Vikes fan told me that he did not think he would start in the NFL.

 

I agree with Belichick when it comes to drafting QBs. Draft one almost every year or every other year, in the mid to lower rounds and develop them. You can trade them for draft picks as they did with Jimmy G and Brissett.  We could have had Purdy. The 49ers traded their 3rd string QB (Nick Mullens) to us and kept Purdy as the third stringer. I like Mullens.

it also speaks to the quarterback coaching, and a playcalling, that Kyle Shanahan employs

He is very good. I had hoped he would have traded for Cousins but he does not need to. Anyone playing in his system plays well.

Oh jeez the Colts have a worse record than the Jags now. Oof.


The only way Ballard keeps his job is if it was Irsay who pushed Ballard for a QB change from Wentz as opposed to Ballard or Reich, for what I saw was nothing more than a lateral move at best giving us little return for the 1st rounder we ponied up.

I would say outside one small stretch, the Bucs haven’t won two games in a row more than once, I think,  this year. 

I think Tom retires at the end of the season as I stated earlier. He is the GOAT with his 7 rings and 3 MVP's, but at least Peyton won 5 MVP's and went out on top with that key 2nd ring Happy Season 17 GIF by The Simpsons

I think once. Drew Brees got him a few years ago like 38-3. He never lost in NE like this. Peyton got him 40-21 in 2005.


41-17 vs Saints on the road during Saints SB year??. Also lost 0-31 vs Bills and Bledsoe in 2003 season beginning, 14-41 in beginning of 2014 season on the road to Chiefs but won the SB both years. But the Saints loss was one of the few blowouts late in the season past the midway point.

I figured I was forgetting a few, thanks. The guy has played for like 50 years. I just remembered the Saints blowing  them out at least twice and we did once. You brought up the Chiefs game, I now remember that one too :thmup:

I remember that Chiefs loss. I did not realize it was that bad of a loss. I think he played the Vikings a week or two later and beat us badly. I think Matt Cassel was starting for us.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      But if the Colts sign someone next week or the week after then it really doesn’t matter.    I would’ve preferred we sign some two weeks ago.   Get them familiar with the DC and position coach.   But once we didn’t then it really doesn’t matter when.  It just matters that we do it before camp opens.  At least to me.    And the fact no one else is signing these top FA safeties tells me the market just isn’t there yet.   I’m preaching a healthy dose of patients.

      How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas).

      All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.

      We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.

      Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.
