Gonna be a fun, wild ride to the finish Of those 4 games- 2 teams we need to lose are underdogs, 1 is a pick em, and 1 a 9pt favorite(TEN) which is the least important of the 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 I think we (me being an Eagles fan and most of you Colts fans) can agree the trade has worked well for both teams. But with that said, we're almost there. Gimme that 1st rounder!! 🤣 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts got their franchise QB and the Eagles get another first round pick to go with theirs and the Dolphins. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Indy, we aren't asking him to be the focal point of our offense. We need to find a serviceable WR2, grow Granson, and continue to stay healthy as a group and our offense will be just fine. I had no idea he was as athletic as he was. Dudes a legit good athlete at 6'5 240 Edited December 7, 2021 by btownqb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudes a legit good athlete at 6'5 240 Oh yeah, he's really athletic. A lot like Roethlisberger in his younger years where he could escape the pocket and turn bad situations into gains. I was always a Wentz fan with the Eagles. As much as he got hammered last season, the Eagles were completely decimated by injuries, especially on the offensive line. As for the Eagles, I love where we're at too. We have a solid team and will have 3 first rounders to add to it. The only real issue is that Hurts has played well enough to maybe not use those 1st rounders on a QB, but not well enough that you feel like you have your QB for the next 10 years. The questions on him haven't really be answered either way, which isn't good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hurts is a winnable QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagor hasn't worked, but Devonta Smith has been really good, and a couple of their later round skills guys are panning out. Agree on Hurts. You can win with him, probably not because of him, but the roster is good. My choice would be to add the 3 first rounders and run it back with Hurts.

Dudes a legit good athlete at 6'5 240 That is the one thing holding the Colts offense back a little, a WR2 to take the top of the defense and to open it up for Pittman more. Also a more consistent pass catching TE, hopefully Granson becomes that guy. Colts have the number four scoring offense and if they take care of these two things they would have the best in the league in my opinion.

It would be a mistake to use all 3 imo. Not only like you said is there not a top qb to move up and pick but they have plenty of needs to fix. Also I don't know if you want to pay 3 first rd picks all hitting your cap the same year and having to reup them later at the same time. I imagine they use two and perhaps take a trade back or trade for a future pick/package. They are in a good spot to rebuild. That said the Jets and Giants could BOTH end up with two top 5 picks lol. That's just insane....one just took a qb and I think it might be safe to say the other is about to move off a top qb pick. Bears and Seahawks will ensure both NY teams will have plenty of ammo to get who they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudes a legit good athlete at 6'5 240 Ballard showing why he gets football. If Wentz plays well it's worth a no brainer first round pick in the weakest qb draft in awhile....if Wentz didn't play well he'd retain the first and package something to find one. I don't think this trade happened by coincidence. Ballard always a couple moves ahead of folks. Philly though can take the pick and package if they want. One of the rare win win for both sides depending on what Philly does with extra pick but right now the Colts can feel good they have QB1 for awhile after chasing the position for a few years since 12 quit.

Hoosier51 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Man what a terrible defensive performance by the Steelers so far.

I'm not a Ben fan whatsoever...but he looks either slow or bloated or him and Tomlin not on same page. 2 Super Bowl wins has him up there but he needs to finish it out and be done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been one that looks a little out of shape but yeah tonight he looks old and like he has been on an eating binge lately. It looks like there is a little tension between him and Tomlin for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
