Thoughts from the Wild Card Round

[sherck]

- Watching the SEA / DAL game, I appreciate the brilliance of Luck more and more. These offenses don't make any sense and don't seem to build on itself like ours did in the first half. They guys (the BEST young QBs in the league) cannot hit the broad side of a barn.

- I became a believer in Mack this game. I think he can lead our RB Committee in 2019 and beyond. Still need to draft another young stud with a later pick to fill out the stable but we can ride these horses.

- Good golly, is it fun to watch this Offensive Line work? That is an excellent defense front seven and our O-Line just whipped them in the first half. HOU remembered how to play defensive ball in the second half but we just took it too them in the first half.

- Inman? Need to re-sign him to a moderate contract. I want him competing for WR2 / WR3 next season.

- Desir? Need to re-sign him to a starter contract. The man needs to get paid.

- Glowinski? Yeah, same.

- I hope it is not serious but I fear that may be the last we see of Mitchell. He gave us some great games this season but at 32 years old, I will be shocked if Ballard re-signs him.

- Loved the play design early. Lots of misdirection that really moved the HOU defense. The first half is how our offense can click.

- The defense? I keep waiting for him to poop the bed and they keep me waiting. They are for real. Sure, they could use some more horses like a J.J. Watt or stud 3-tech or LB. Every position group could use a young stud but, man, these guys can hang.

- Props to Kenny Moore II. UDFA to 2nd year full time starter. Between Moore, Desir and WIlson, we have the core group of a good CB roster.

- The single Houston TD was a gift; the ball was out of his control before crossing the plane of the goal line, IMO. I understand why they ruled that way but that was a touchback.

- A game like this reminds me how YOUNG Watson is. He is physically gifted and can do some things many other QBs cannot but he looked very unsure and untested today when it counted. Easily rattled. He will mature and develop but this game reminded me how young he is.

- The KC offense is a much different beast without Hunt powering it. I don't think we should be favored but I think we have a punchers chance of beating them next week in Arrowhead.

Go Colts!
