that last guy has clearly never seen us play. Cam doesnt have the weapons to go down field? thats one of the few things our WR are good at and god help your single high safety. how can your ex-factor be Tolbert nothing against him but he is a below avg blocker and really only good for max 5-8 touches on offense, his usage is just not that high to really scare anyone.

.....   this is a winnable game for us. If we can just stay away from the turnovers and penalties we should win. 

I think they'll need to score a few points as well. A lot of their fans are trying to convince themselves they'd be 7-0 if they'd quit beating themselves. They seem to forget that defenses often have a lot to do with the offense failing to put points on the board.

all makes sense now Lord! Andrew is not terrible! He is hurt!

Thank you Lord! Thank you Lord! Thank you Lord!

Now that I think about it, I’m not sure that’s the best response.

And so Lord, we pray this week for less of this.
And Lord, as we prepare to play a team whose greatest accomplishment is its consistent mediocrity there are three things that we ask of you…

…That you would release the Kraken that is Frank Gore.

…That we would be able to defend against a defensive scheme that was truly innovative in the 40s and 50s.

…That you would give us something to smile about this week.

Lord, help our Colts
Lord, protect our quarterback!
And all Colts nation said,
Amen!

 

So this is an article by a Colts writer.

"Run the Ball

Protect 12

Don't have 12 throw 40+ times

Run the ball


This game has that SF 49ers feel to it when we beat Kapernick & Co. 

A top defense with a suspect offense. If the good Colts show up, we win this easily. Bad Colts show..... Pagano could be looking for a new job sooner than later "

HHaha,  WTF????  The Panthers are the top defense. You just think you are going to pound the rock against them?  When have the Colts done that successfully this year?  The Panthers have a suspect offense?  Dude, they are number 1 in the NFL in rushing. I hope we pound them into the dirt on MNF. That neck beard QB is about to have some more problems to add to the injury report (or hide).  Panthers win 24-13.

Overall, the Colts fans seem like a pleasant,  knowledgeable bunch that is hard not to like. Will be a nice change of pace from hosting Philly fans a week ago.

I agree. Overall I was impressed with their football knowledge. Even in the Cam Verses Luck thread, most actually gave Cam credit for being special.

    • It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.
    • If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.
    • In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
