I kinda find it funny how much the majority on here worshipped JMV when compared to Dan Dakich and others. However, when he switched to a more negative, realistic viewpoint the last couple years, people turned on him. People don't want a good sports media analyst necessarily; they just want someone that shares their viewpoint that has a voice.

I live far away from Indy but it seems they like voices that paint a rosey  picture of their team and management.

Only thing is, might we be better off vs Levis, as opposed to Tannehill?

I do agree it’s hard to imagine this young, injured team winning 6 in a row. But; there is no reason we can’t beat Pittsburg. Our line is playing well & they aren’t that great offensively. We should have Stewart back 100% healthy & ready to go as well. He’ll have the Bengals game to get back into the swing of things 

 

I agree the Steelers aren't great and in fact I think they are less than mediocre, especially their QB and offense. On paper and the eye test I would say the colts are better.... But the Steelers have "other" things going for them besides talent AND historically the colts have only beaten them like two or so times in the last half century! 

 

I don't think the colts need to win 6 in a row. If they can be 8-6 after the Steelers game they have a decent shot at a wildcard, which is why I think the titans & Bengals game are very important. 

 

Regardless, it would have been nice for colt fans if AR5 didn't get injured and they could have had him and JT for the entire season.

No, I agree. We never get a good read on Tannehill's boot legs for some reason but Tannehill, if healthy, can be difficult to deal with if he goes on a streak of accuracy. This year he has been sub-par though in accuracy, at barely 62%, normally he is closer to 65 (2022) and 67 (2021). 

 

Meanwhile, our former Colt, Denico Autry is still balling out there. Plus, the Titans' run blocking OL grade is getting better.

 

 

 

Still wish we’d kept him

Never worshipped here.   You're wrong


Worshipped is the wrong word. He was respected for his insider sources ever since he broke the Peyton bursa sac issue in 2008, McAfee retirement etc. before it became well publicized.

 

He just wasn’t as abrasive as Dakich due to which he had more listeners too.

I will say the Steelers offense has seemed to be playing better since they fired Canada, so I do think they will be a harder opponent than some seem to think.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      I think even though the sample size was small last season it gave people a false sense of where he is. But we also can’t ignore thst maybe the regression is just because of the lack of off season work. If it’s just the lack of offseason work it should correct itself fairly quickly. We should def him settle in by game 6 or 7.

      It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.

      They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.

      Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.

      His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.
