Yes they need a Free Safety but Flowers has played like a starter regardless of his draft status. Same with Jones. They also have Brents who will be back. That’s before you get to Kenny Moore if they keep them they have four starting caliber corners. They can use another one for depth but it doesn’t have to be a high pick. If a special player is there of course you take them but they don’t need to force it. Things are not as bad at corner as you are making it seem. Jones? Yes. Brent’s? Definitely was playing great before the injury. But Flowers? No. Can someone explain where the Flowers hype started? I never got it. On ST’s he was electric as a returner. But on defense I never saw it. When did he ever show anything like what Jones is showing now to warrant the hype he had coming into the season?

The teams battling for the wild card are all inconsistent, which is why they're all 7-6. Houston was crushed by the lowly Jets! We beat Steelers, Texans and either Falcons or Raiders, and we'll be in at 10-7. Play .500 and we'll be out 9-8. I'd have signed on for this 5 weeks ago. Colts play Steelers, Falcons, Raiders, Texans Bills play Cowboys, Patriots, Chargers & Dolphins Broncos play Lions, Patriots, Chargers, Raiders (this looks good) Bengals play Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs, Browns Texans play Titans, Browns, Titans, Colts Steelers play Colts, Bengals, Seahawks, Ravens Browns play Bears, Texans, Jets, Bengals I do think Texans might be done with all the reciever injuries and stroud maybe not playing next week. We will see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smittywerb Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 This is going to be a short one because there really isn’t much to write about: Good MPJ: another game where he shows his ability to be an alpha WR1. 8 catches for 95yds is a good stat line. Still don’t like the high amount of targets (11). Hope next year with AR were able to spread the ball around more. The rest of the receiving core had solid numbers. But we can’t become the explosive offense I hope we become when one player has almost as many targets as the rest of the receiving core combined. RHJ: good job getting that interception. He has been a solid addition to the team. Bad All 3 phases and coaching: simply, we just looked bad. Couldn’t run, couldn’t get to the quarterback, couldn’t tackle. When we did actually begin to move the ball, either penalties or turnovers killed the drives. This is easily the worst performance by this team this year. Hopefully this will wake up the team. We should come out against a reeling Steelers team and punch them in the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody in here or posted, thought the Colts were going to win the SB just because we won 4 in a row. Nobody in here ever posted Minshew was great or Dan Marino for cry out and loud. This is a Colts website, so if people want to get excited at maybe being playoff team and saying Minshew plays good at times, then damn scold them. The ridiculousness in here after a loss is so dumb it makes me want to vomit. And no, we didn't get lucky at Baltimore, we outplayed them, just like we outplayed the Texans at Houston with their great rookie QB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a brutal game, but Minshew has done a great job for a backup. Pittman has looked like a champ with him. The defense was absolutely terrible today. We can't get rid of Gus Bradley soon enough. This is one of those situations where the team can make the playoffs this year, and definitely next year with Richardson back. We just have to keep improving the team. The injuries we do have are killer. Fully healthy, with another offseason and another draft, and we're there IMO. Just need to stay healthy and get lucky with who gets hurt and who doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Ballard always sits back and goes I like who we have let’s see. Then it’s too late to fix anything. He needs to be much more aggressive fixing this secondary in the offseason. Whether that is a vet or two or drafting I really don’t care. But it’s time to be aggressive and stop waiting to see. I have seen enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I don’t think refs had any effect on who won this game today. But they were horrible.

Zoltan Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Didn’t see this game, but from looking at the play by play and stats seems like the offense couldn’t get the run going and Minshew needs that to be effective. It was cool to see Ronnie Harrison get a pick 6, I’ve always been a fan of safeties being converted to coverage LB and am stoked it’s working out for him. Lastly I saw a lot of posts about missed tackles, this seems to be a theme for the defense this year and has led to poor run defense. I don’t know how to fix it aside from bringing in better LBs this offseason and improved coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying the second round pick shouldn’t be a starting corner because he said Brents in his post. If that’s the case it says more about ridiculous expectations than anything else. Not every player on the roster can be a first round draft pick and even if they are it doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to be a success. What matters is can they play. Rather you like them or not Flowers, Brents, Moore, and Jones have all proven they can play in this league and start and do well regardless of where they were drafted or if they were drafted at all. Once you are in the league where you were drafted means nothing it then becomes about can you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
