I never said that "we had it", I said that it wasn't over.

Anybody who thought that the Colts would be 6-5 after 11 games 5 minutes after Andrew Luck announced his retirement on August 24th would have been looked upon as a believer in fairy tales.


o

Andrew Luck ain’t walking through that door. It’s over.

o


I believe that it was because there was nothing to review ........ there was not an immediate recovery by the Colts, so it would not have mattered if they had ruled it a fumble.


o

How do they know that without a review?

o



You can take that position. I'll be rooting for the Patriots to beat the Texans next week, and for the Colts to complete a sweep of the Titans to get back into a 1st-place tie at 7-5.


o

The Colts are a team they dont really care about being in the playoffs. If that was the Pat's, Chiefs, Packers, etc not only they review it they rule in favor .

o


I suppose that they could have reviewed it, but I doubt that it would have done anything except prolonged our agony for an extra minute or 2.

It was a really shit job by the Texans to fumble in that situation in the first place ........ they had the game after they got the first down, there should be no chance of a fumble at all.


o

Just looked at the remaining schedules. If we win out we are still win the division. If we lose one it's coming down to the last week like last yr. assuming thexicans lose to the cheats next week and we assume we lose to the saints

o


If we lose one game and finish at 10-6 overall, I hope that the loss is to the Saints, since they are in the NFC.

None of this crap matters, we aren't winning anything with Brissett at QB. FR doesn't have any faith in him, and neither do I.

I logged back in just so I could thank and comment on this post. This is absolutely correct. The NFL knew it was over for the Colts when Luck quit. They can't come out and say that of course, but they knew. Thus, the dramatic lack of Colts coverage. Houston is also a much larger city and market. More eyeballs and money spent per game. It's all about the revenue. The "rules" are very arbitrary. Goodnight

I’ve always believed the most important thing for any sports team is the front office. We have a good one. Long term this team will be ok. This year impossible to overcome loss of Luck the way it happened. Young team that didn’t win games it should have, like a lot of young teams do. Shitty for us.

The most frustrating game to watch.

Dude can’t throw the ball downfield for shit.

I appreciate that he won’t lose a game for you like Hoyer, but the dude hasn’t proven he can win them either.

Draft a QB this year. If the right one is there, spend the capital to get him. Let him sit behind Brissett next year and part ways.

Sorry for jinxing TY and the team with the thread title. Now I know why it only earned a C-, lol

I agree Brissett is not the answer. Its almost like Reich has no confidence in him throwing down field

It's funny how quickly opinions change around here. One week, the OL is da bomb, but if they have one bad game, they're over-rated. JB has a stellar game, throwing 4 TDs and it's let's hope we can lock him up without breaking the bank. Marlin Mack is awesome, Marlin Mack is too fragile.

Bottom line, all these players are human and they have good and bad games. I saw Nelson whiff on a key block that would have resulted in a huge run had he made it. It doesn't mean he sucks, it was just one play. There is not a single player in the NFL that doesn't have some shitty plays during each game. It's too early to write JB off, but I do agree he has flaws. If the right opportunity comes along, I agree with finding a better option, but not at the cost of a block busting trade to move up on draft day. This team still has way too many holes to fill and depth to attain.

I still believe this team can make the playoffs, but without Luck, I never thought they could go far and I still don't. I'm just enjoying what we have, a good coach, a great GM, and a lot of youth with bright futures. It could be a lot worse, I live in NY and most of my friends are either Giants or Jets fans.

Brian Hoyer, also ........ after the Steelers game, the general consensus of the board-at-large seemed to be that he was a more-than-adequate 2nd string quarterback. After the Dolphins game, he could not be run out of town fast enough.

I agree with you. Question, do you think it is wise to go forward with Brissett and build a team around him that can win or would you go all in for a new quarterback? I think Ballard is not going to use a whole lot of draft picks to move up for a qb. I think that is wise as most of the 'can't miss' guys actually miss. It is a tough decision as I think it is clear that Brissett cannot carry a team like our last qb could (but not many could) However I do think he is good enough if surrounded by a great defense and more play makers on offense to win.

I think the jury is still out on Brissett. Right now, he's the best we've got, but IMO, that doesn't say much. I wouldn't go all in to get one of the top three QBs, but if Ballard saw something in a QB worth taking in the first or second round, I hope he goes for it.

We aren’t winning out with this qb

Way too much common sense, but wll said

We are well positioned to take a high end development QB - a 2nd or 3rd rounder, possibly even a late 1st rounder. Brissett is under contract for one more year, and Hoyer can be cut after this season with minimal cap impact (unfortunately, this decision needs to be made in March, a month before the draft). Tua maybe?

Tua is the guy to drop according to all the buzz now. I just don’t see it happening draft day. If you think he is a franchise QB and he just needs a redshirt year. Some team will be ok with that and take him.

I saw one mock draft that has the Colts drafting Jacob Eason in the 1st round.

Injury or not Tua will still be a 1st round pick. I like the thought of taking a guy in the 2nd or 3rd though.

I'm convinced that Jalen Hurts should be that guy. He has the perfect temperament, maturity and work ethic to be the next Lamar Jackson.

Needs development. But has all the intangibles. Big arm, height, size.

I like his measurables as well. 6’6” with powerful arm and decent mobility is a great foundation.

Utah defense destroyed him though. He folded badly under pressure. However Utah defense may be one of the best in the country.

He had a bad game, but still threw 4 TDs

Is that like big ben without the rapiness?

I'm watching him now, Colorado is destroying him. But I think his line has fallen apart, having major protection problems.

He recovered some in the second half, but they just couldn’t protect him. UWs line is supposed to be pretty good.

Thursday's game against the Texans was big ........ and the Colts lost

Next week's game against the Titans is even bigger.



"Tonights' game is really big."


Dick Motta, before Game Three of the 1978 N.B.A. Finals against the SuperSonics, with the series tied at 1 game apiece:


"Game Three WAS big. And now, Game Four is even bigger."


Dick Motta, after the Bullets lost Game Three of those 1978 N.B.A. Finals, and went down 2 games to 1:


The Bullets won Game Four, evened the series at 2 games apiece, and got themselves right back into the hunt for the title.

I seriously dont know what to make of your posts.

The dude has a memory like a steel trap, but I agree with your sentiment.

That's why he earned his "Historian" title. Just wish his space bar didn't work LOL :cool:

Yep. Smitty can you change his status to
