Rev_AK Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 It’s ironic to see Sportscenter based out of LA with such East Coast centric stories. I mean, they have everything divided by city on the web/ radio, I’d bet the infrastructure is in place to have “ESPN Midwest.” But they’d probably make Dakich the kingpin...

ESPN Midwest. But they did run the "Midwest" boy out.......ya know the one from Dayton, Ohio. Guess they got tired of him talking about the Reds instead of the Mets. Still listen to Dan Patrick. I got a news flash for the "Evil Empire".......basically nobody from the Midwest gives a rat's arsz what is happening on the "Least Coast". For that matter, people don't care what is happening on the "Left Coast". Can somebody send an e-mail to Mark Cuban telling him I got this investment idea. A "Midwest Sports Network". Too bad MSN is already taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you rank them 30? Luck has not played a down in 16 months as of now. Every team in their division got better. A healthy Luck and they are no better than 20 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost 8 games by less than 2 TDs, lost twice in OT, lost 5 times by 6pts or less. I'd like to know what Luck's record is as a starter, it's damn good. 46-30 and played hurt for 2 years.

The OL should be good. Have to find a pass rush. If Luck is healthy I'm honestly not all that worried at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The getting better part is very subjective. I might be off but our linebacking corp is one of the worst in the league. No pass rush still. Young secondary with a huge upside. Rhe offensive line will not protect Luck. We have a franchise quarterback but refuse the fix the biggest deficiency on the team the past 6 years. Still no offensive play makers. They are closer to 32 than to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton can be covered up and essentially shut down in games. That's happened over and over. Agree on Doyle. He is a QB's safe-haven. Mack is a poor blocker. Doesn't catch the ball particularly well, and needs to hold onto the ball. He's a great tandem back, as you said. Good change of pace back. But he's not ready to carry the full load. Wilkins needs to be ready to go to really make Mack effective, as you said. OL is still a question mark. Castanzo is up and down. Played pretty bad last two years. The inside should be good. RT is still a question mark... Have the LT and RT up in the air isn't good. A LOT of things have to go right for this team to even make the playoffs, simply put.

If Ty is a play maker than i am rhe POPE!!! HE is a 1 trick pony. Get 2 catches 20 yards against any quality defense and the 150 against The sister's of st marys of the wooda.

Seeking6 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Obviously Luck is the wild card. If he's healthy and returns to form...and I say this as a Bears fan...I see 9-10 wins. Line will be drastically improved on Offense. 2 Tight End sets (one of the least discussed mismatches in all of football) with Doyle and Ebron. Explosive back in Mack. You have TY. Colts were very close last year in so many games. Will be interesting to follow but when I saw 32 I thought where's the betting window. I'll bet anyone on that action.

Pitt barely beat us lol they were decent right? Do we get brownie points for that?
