ColtsGermany Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Ok...first the debby downer: those numbers are maybe misleading and meaningless. We played the Packers with Malik Willis at QB and didn't win. Titans are a mess,we knew that before the season. Jaguars, well little bit surprising, but tough schedule so far. Texans,a surprise that they lost to Vikes. At the end of the day, only wins count. The positive take: Encouraging stat and something to build on. It SHOULD convert into more wins in the future.(At least within our division).

Sure enough it is. lol. It’s really too small of a sample to really get much out of. Because with only 3 games it’s who everyone has played. But the point was is I was shocked it’s true because the vibe really didn’t feel like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad72 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Texans had a bad game versus the Panthers last year too, gave Frank Reich the only win, remember? So, these early season numbers don't mean much w.r.t how good OR how bad we are. Like Ballard and Steichen said last year, they evaluate 1 quarter at a time and it is very clear we have not played at our true potential. There will be games we were supposed to win that we don't and games we were supposed to lose that we don't, and until game 17 is done, the season should be alive for the Colts since their roster is a competitive one. The QB play will be the one that decides if it is a 7 win team or 10 win team, when it is all said and done. It does help when Sunshine in Jacksonville is stinking it up and Will Levis, he's now leading the league in turnovers (8) and pick-sixes (2) through three contests. But like I said, it is a LONG season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it funny because it defintely did not feel like this was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerColt Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Every year I think to myself: “The AFC South could be a strong division this year…” And then every year the AFC South proves to be the weakest division in sports… Jags 0-3 Titans 0-3 Colts 1-2 3 teams in the top 5 for the NFL draft next year at the moment.

I thought the title of the thread was tongue in cheek, and you're pretending its something positive just to have an excuse to get on me. Typical. Overall, I hate the forum when it gets cluttered up by over emotional posts that think the Colts are going to be good this year because they had false hope about AR, then later clutter up the forum all frustrated and mad and * when they realize their feelings lied to them about reality. Both the joyful hope and then the inevitable depression are simply posts that never should have been made in the first place.

Points are ultimately what matters most, but the TOP for this team is ridiculously lopsided towards our opponents. AR and the offense need to string together more drives, no doubt, but the defense also needs to get off the field and give the ball to AR and the offense. They've been really bad at that and that's because we give too many yards away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and today in his press conference Gus agreed and said they are missing too many tackles on third down which has resulted in our opponents getting a first down. He said it happened 3 or 4 times against the Bears. Tackling needs to improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get better You seem to be triggered today. Just remember, of the hundreds of posts during the summer and the first three games so far that complained about the secondary, called Shane a bad coach because he's relying upon AR to be an actual QB, and called for Ballard's firing because of the string of Division Winner ceiling teams he's produced......I haven't written one of those posts, Not one. Go pick on them for being negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this offense becomes more consistent as the season goes on. Think about the near misses with AD Mitchell, or how many plays JT seemed to be one defender away from breaking loose in the last two games... The explosive potential on this offense is sky high. Now if they could just get some routine first downs... And maybe the defense can get a stop on third down every now and then (looking at you, EJ Speed).
