I have never been as apathetic about this team as I am now and from the amount of traffic on this board it seems a ton of you feel the same way. The entire off season seems to be predicated on the first 8 games we played last year, completely forgetting the last half of the season. We haven't improved in any area of the team I can see. No depth pieces ready to step in and change the course. Talking about trading back to get more of them picks we love so much again. It's freaking depressing beyond words.

I am very excited about the upcoming season, and about the fact that the Colts started last season at 8-2 in the first 10 games before Daniel Jones broke his leg in the Chiefs game in the 11th game.

I don't post a lot in the off-season, even on the eve of the draft. For me, that's not necessarily a sign of apathy. For others, maybe it is ...... I will concede that I find it a bit odd that I haven't gotten a single thumbs-up for displaying the content of an extensive l Athletic l article that Dam posted that is hidden behind a paywall.

I would call myself cautiously optimistic toward the Colts in 2026. I swear that we have more injuries to DB's than any team in the league, and that has to to stop. We are probably at the NFL average for injuries overall. But, you can't field a winning team when all of your injuries are at a very important position group, like DB, OL or DL.

Jones won’t replicate what he did last season, if for no other reason than he’s coming off of a career altering injury. Most guys have a subpar season their first one back from something like that.

I also think he played out of his mind that first half and would have came back to earth somewhat even without the injury.

I’m not real optimistic about next season, in case it isn’t obvious.

A whole lot needs to fall in place for the Colts to be successful.
