btownqb Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 @BGleas feel the same that we weren't winning the SB this year anyway. Goodness going 11-5 was so silly last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 8 minutes ago, btownqb said: Yep. We feel the same. Our overall roster is accelerated compared to you, but you have more draft capital. Literally, this wasn't "a year" for the Colts, but now, next year is a must. Have to legitimately compete. Not a SB, but a true factor the whole year. I'm not trying to make this an Egales vs Colts argument. I truly don't see that either team lost. Colts couldn't get Lawrence. Don't want Fields, Wilson, or Lance. Mac Jones is fine for the Pats, idk that he's a fit in Indy. Colts are also relatively young. So is Wentz for a QB. Idk. I still am fine with the trade. We still have cap room. Yup! Similar to the Colts, the Eagles are building a team. Getting a Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, etc., is really, really hard and you have to get incredibly lucky. So the alternative is building a phenomenal team (offensive line, defensive line, skill guys and defense) around a good, cheap first contract quarterback. It's what Seattle did those early years with Russ, Dallas did with Prescott (though now they had to pay him) and the Rams went to a SB with Goff. I don't think Hurts is the long-term answer for the Eagles, but while they look for the answer we have one of the best offensive lines, a top running game, an emerging stud WR and a great TE, to go with an excellent defensive line and solid secondary. That's a winning formula that will just get better as Hurts improves and buys the Eagles time to find the right QB. Same thing the Colts did while they looked for Luck's replacement.

IU Scott Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) From the looks of things if you need a franchise QB this is not the draft to get one. Edited January 10, 2022 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I dont think too many teams will be going QB in the first round. It won't be like last seasons draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be dancing if I’m Philly…they are the worst playoff team I think I’ve ever seen…well outside of Pittsburg. This letting another wild card in is beneficial for more intrigue but gosh these are bad teams. The Bears were probably worse last year as the NFC 7th seed at 8-8...and I say that as a big Bears fan, but last seasons Bears were mediocre at best. I don't like the 7th playoff team either...I thought 6 teams in each conference was about perfect. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before the NFL has 8 teams in each conference in the playoffs and no byes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’d be shocked if there isn’t a franchise qb in this draft. I don’t know who it is but someone will recognize and develop one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegrassIU Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I am finding myself pulling for the Raiders tonight. Those men have been through a lot, Carr is repeatedly criticized etc. Kinda hope they pull this out tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's provided much of the leadership to keep that team together and from imploding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Most know I'm a Bears guy first. Love the city of Indy and Colts second. That crap can never never ever happen. No longer the coach the is a good guy, no longer the gm understands what he's doing....operational failure getting beat by that organization today. Another year, another year of blaming 12 for quitting....going on 4 or 5 years?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Colts need to make some major changes. The head coach and quarterback cost the team far too many games this season and were brutal down the stretch. I was talking to friend that thinks those two are fine and pointed to teams like the Ravens SB teams or the Bucs with Johnson - the difference is those teams didn't have QBs like Wentz, they had the polar opposite. Wentz wants so badly to be an elite guy that he doesn't know when to cut his loses on a given play. Reich coaches this team like it has to outscore everyone, not a team that has an elite run game and a defense that doesn't give up big plays and forces turnovers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 What a dumb ass move by the SD coach. Down 17-14 in the 3rd he goes for it on 4th and 1 at their 18 and doesn't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I just know that if I had a 98% chance of a good outcome on a large deal I'm working and then it didn't happen, I'd be getting grilled on what went wrong and it could cost me my job. It would be silly if guys making the type of money they are get held to a lower standard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Been watching football for 40 years. Don't think I recall a last day of regular season like that one. The number of things that happened, how they happened, how they unfolded.....going to take a lot to process all the decisions. Still have zero answers for the Colts. That just can't happen. I find myself in weird position with Reich/Ballard. I think they are good but this is results business. 4 years in. 1 playoff win is what the record says. Not sure what to do with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Colts should've stuck with Pinter the last two weeks. Kelly wasn't his usual self and that hurt the entire line. Fisher is awful too. The problem the Colts have is that they have holes and not a lot of ways that they can fix those holes this off-season.

I like Ballard and think he's built a good roster, so I'm curious how tied he and Reich are to each other. Sometimes in the NFL you see that as a package deal, sometimes it's not. I can say I've never been high on Reich and this year really hammered home for me that this guy ain't it. He makes far too many baffling decisions, and now has hitched his wagon to his boy Wentz who really, really ain't it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can fix the holes, I just don't think they will. They've got a really good roster in place, similar to the Rams last offseason; the Rams put their chips on the table and went all in and it very well may pay off. I don't think the Colts have the requisite stones to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that, as well. I felt bad for Ryan. We have a pretty substantial amount of money this off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
