View Full Version : Colts and AFC South
1. 3-2 into the bye is huge for this team. We could have beat the chargers, we could have beat the raiders. Chargers was a Vinatieri fluke, even though we stunk up the place vs the raiders, we were in a position to win at the end of the game.
2. Houston has got to be stunned. Surely they thought we would lose this game and they would have sole possession of the AFC south. Tough shit.
3. Houston has to play KC next week, then us the week following. If Houston loses vs the Chiefs and we beat them in week 7, they will finish that stretch 3-4, and we will be 4-2.
4. The Colts have a great reason to feel a sense of accomplishment. This is the hardest game on our schedule and we won it going into the bye. Aside from the Texans two weeks from now, our next opponent that has a winning record is the Saints in week 14.
5. Related to above, what we should see is the coaches and team rising to this opportunity. We can easily win 8 more games this season. We should, I hope we do. Use the bye to get healthy and stay hungry. We absolutely have to beat Houston in week 7.
Remaining schedule:
7. Texans (3-2)
8. Broncos (1-4)
9. Steelers (1-4)
10. Dolphins (0-4)
11. Jags (2-3)
12. Texans (3-2)
13. Tacks (2-3)
14. Bucs (2-3)
15. Saints (4-1)
16. Panthers (3-2)
17. Jags (2-3)
It's totally possible we only lose one of those games. Seriously, 13-3 is possible with Jacoby Brissett.

Amazing that all of the sudden the Saints are the only game that looks like a definite loss.... but then again the Colts just beat the Chiefs.... I still expect some bad games for the Colts but last night was huge for this team. If they get healed up and continue to Gel. This team can go 11-5 and take the AFC south.

If they beat the Titans on November 3rd and lose to the Colts on December 22nd (with or without Cam Newton), the Colts should send them "thank you" gifts.

I went into this week thinking Reich was looking down the road and willing to concede last night as a L in an effort to get everyone back and ready for what is a very favorable mid-late season schedule with the goal of winning the division. Last night really puts us in a great position to roll later this year as long as we quit suffering all these damn injuries.
I still think we're 11-5 and division winners come the final snap.

It’s happening: Former Jaguars’ CB Jalen Ramsey is being traded to the LA Rams for two first-round picks in 2020 and 2021, and a fourth-round pick in 2021, source tells ESPN.

Tennessee needs to wrap Tannehill up in bubble wrap. He hasn't played a full season of games since 2015. He has missed 24 games due to injury over the last 3 years.
Perhaps waiting until Week 7 will help him stay on the field for the rest of this season. Their bye week is not until Week 11 so he will also have a week to get healthy if he gets nicked up in the first couple of games.

Tannehill yesterday-23-29, 312 yards, 2 touchdowns and they beat the Chargers.
I’m telling you guys, Tennessee is a team to be reckoned with now.
He will absolutely wreck our defense like he did with Miami.

Even with periods of more interesting division football, the Colts have a pretty amazing head-to-head record vs the other teams in the AFC South:
27 - 8 vs Houston (77% win the game)
23 - 13 vs Jacksonville (64% win)
34 - 15 vs Tennessee (69% win)

This really opens to door for the Colts in the division. Houston has a very top-heavy roster. They are ill-equipped to handle injuries to one or two of their best players.

Aren't they down Watt and Clowney now? That defense should be much easier to play against moving forward, and I don't see Watson as the type of elite QB that can cover those defensive deficiencies.

Entire AFC South won. Entire division is now .500 or better. See if the Titans are better with the QB change and Foles will be coming back soon for the Jags. May be tight down the stretch.

Mercilus has stepped up nicely after they traded Clowney. They’re still solid in the front 7, but this is a major hit for them. Watt was a force against the Colts. I like Indy’s chances down in Houston with Watt now out.

Really need to take care of business these next two games to get to 7-2. 11 wins should be enough to take the division, so they’d only need to go 4-3 down the stretch.

La Canfora also had the Colts linked to the Broncos DE Derek Wolfe. With the game yesterday, it would have been a good time for a last minute scouting session.
La Canfora just throws stuff against the wall, however, and hopes that something will stick.

Who knows. A 5th round pick? A 6th? To add some pressure and shore up the run defense some. I think we still look pourous against the run and the pats or 49ers would run all day on us. Our lane discipline is shit.
Ballard likes those picks, and he has said you are never one player away. However, if you have a shot any given year you can’t take that for granted. You never know what the next year will hold; for example your franchise QB just starting his prime years decides to retire.
Also I wonder if the redskins might be a little pissed on giving up their 2nd rounder. Which is starting to look like a top 40 pick. Gotta think the Colts staff pays attention to those teams drafting rookie QB's in the first. Nice candidates to trade back with anticipating a bad season.

La Canfora is Baltimore-based. He's tuned into closely to Baltimore and Washington. My guess is that this is coming more from Washington to try and drive a market, rather than legitimate interest coming from the Colts.

Hoyer can be cut with minimal cap implications ($1 million if I recall) this offseason, so he was pretty low risk all things considered,
