  1. 1. Are you rooting for the Colts to win or to tank?

    • Win, of course.
    • Lose (Tank). I want the Colts to maximize their chances of drafting any player we want, maybe Marvin's son.
    • I don't care. I am here for the entertainment.
  2. 2. Last week, the Colts scored a whopping 38 points against the formerly vaunted Browns defense! How many points will they score in this game?

    • 13 or less
    • 14 to 26
    • 27 to 37
    • 38 or more.
      0
  3. 3. Who wins this game?

    • The Saints
    • The Colts

      0

Cant lose Franklin. Darius is a shell of who he used to be.

Yet still grades out higher than Franklin in PFF grades.

Why isn’t the red-headed kid out there?

Because he has a 30.1 PFF grade on defense.

I don't think anyone is questioning his ability. But, if you want to trade for a WR when you have a rookie QB, you at ideally want to have them play together for a long time. Hopkins is too old for that.


Meh, young WRs can still be drafted and added to roster. Think Wayne with Luck

That Gilmore trade is really looking great this season 

i don't understand why fans keep taking this jab, when in reality Gilmore did not want to be here.

 

What do you do with a player who doesn't want to be on your team?

never saw 1 report that said he didn’t want to be here. You know who else supposedly didn’t want to be here? 

he requested the trade. that means, don't wanna be here. 

 

also ur comparing apples to oranges, Gilmore is a vet about to retire

Not sure why we are coming out throwing. Shane screwing up the end of the half again.

Exactly! I rarely criticize Shane, but what the heck is going on? Minshew having an okay but very pedestrian first half, while the RBs are killing it.  And we come out with an empty backfield.  I don't get it

Franklin?

they said hes injured right?

 

so leonard has been playing most snaps, wouldnt we slide Speed in behind Franklin? 

 

or move Leonard over, and then speed in for leonard,

 

then olubi/stuard on three backer sets

    • This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.
    • I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….    
    • I believe he knows that offense is more important than defense.  And that an offense that controls the ball keeps our average defense rested.   I really can’t answer your second sentence until camp.  So let me ask you, as of right now isn’t Ballard saying there are no FA DBs (depth or starting safety) that we can afford who are better than what we have?   If he doesn’t bring someone is, that’s his stance, right?   The logic is that our O will put up enough that we can get by with an average D, IMHO.   Like I said, I’m being Mr. Obvious.      
    • The Jets completely shut down CJ Stroud last year. Their defense is elite, and they had 3 of the top CBs in the league. Pass rush and secondary is how you shut him down. We have the former. I'll be curious how the latter does for us this year.
    • Im trying to make sure I understand you.      You don’t think Ballard is actually trying to build only an average defense, do you?      He’s trying to build as good of a defense as he can.    Are we on the same page, or am I misunderstanding you?
