Can you imagine being the owner of these teams having to write millions of dollars of checks for this? Don’t get much for the buck these days. Lol

“ NFL teams playing regular-season games overseas would be compensated for lost revenue by tapping into sponsorship and TV deals that would be sold for those individual contests, according to league officials.“

Houston could win the division

Stroud looks like the best rookie QB, probably best rookie in general tbh. 

 

people might not like it, but he's probably gonna be the best overall QB in the AFC south for a while.

At least as a pure passer. Hopefully AR's running can make up for it.

Probably gonna make a post about this but can Minshew really not see Pierce? So many times he was open for big plays or TD’s


this is why a have said the colts don’t need to draft a wr in the top 2 rounds. I think all their receivers would look a lot better with a good, let alone top qb.

Heck I think the best player on the team right now ( outside of DeFo) is josh downs.  The kid consistently has 3 yards separation.  His film so far is amazing.  His football IQ must be through the charts.

He is already the best. And Houston is going to be a game out of first holding a win in Jacksonville already. They have a real path to win the division.

Yeah. Stroud's got the experience and processing over AR now in addition to the mechanics and accuracy but AR genuinely scares me with how good he could be. This kid is going to teach many people religion, they'll find one god or another when he gets going...they already do.

 

AR may never be Stroud in terms of accuracy but with the other abilities (the arm, the legs, the endless ceiling), he'll go as high as his health and work ethic take him.

Pittman had a good game but Taylor didn't at all.  69 yards on 3 yards a carry.  Glad we somehow managed to get the win though.  

I didn’t say he had a great day.  I said he along with Pittman had the best days of any of the offensive weapons.

I’ll give them credit for sticking with the run. We had 28 passes to 26 rushes.

 

Keep in mind, BB is very good at scheming defenses to fluster opponents.

I'd tribute that to a very smart DC/HC selling out to prevent the run from beating them - they gambled that Gardner Minshew would not be able to beat them with his arm and they lost that bet because their QB was worse.

They certainly are. I guess fans will pay almost any amount to watch crappy football entertainment. The Bears Vs Panthers Thursday was another one. My friend went to it and said what a waste of money. Lol

We didn't do a whole lot to deserve a win.

 

However,

We have now won more games than we did last season.

 

I'm ok with that.

If not for Houston's late heroics we would've been the only team in the AFC South to have won today.

Yep won ugly.  Pats didn’t do anything to deserve to win either and IMO did more to lose than the Colts did.  As they say more games in the NFL are lost than won.

The Texans have the best QB in the division right now.  They are going to be a power house for years to come.

Tylor will break out. The patriots entire defensive game plan was designed to shutdown Taylor and force Minshew to win it with his arm.

How did you become a Colts fan in Germany?

Well,that is a long story I will tell you.

 

Once upon a time in a land far away.......

No,for real. I can't tell you why exactly.

My heart decided to be blue and white with a horseshoe on it. 

It was no decision by my head. Just grew into it while watching NFL.

It sounded like Eisen was going to cry when they benched Mac Jones. Despicable announcing. 

He sounded despondent when Gay made his field goal.

I would like to see Steichen put Sam in there for some plays just to throw some different wrinkled in there. Maybe it could help the run game a little.  Just a few plays to find the defense something else to be worried about.

No thanks...we saw how that went last year

    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.
