Should've kept Steve Wilks 

I didn't want to keep Wilks because I thought we were finally going to land a young up and coming offensive mind like a Ben Johnson or Stane Sheichen. But if you were just going to hire a retread coach, you might as well kept the coach that finally brought some competence back to this team.

I've just given up at this point. We just have too many old heads in the building that the NFL has just past by. We will always be behind the curve when it comes to the modern NFL, ESPECIALLY with Tepper at the helm. Hell, Tepper was like the only one that voted to have Mike Tomlin out. Goes to show you just how fuggin stupid he is. We are in bad hands.

lol you guys are silly, you complained because we didnt tank last year and then now that were tanking, OMG were not gonna win the super bowl this year.  Granted Carolina wont have the 1st pick in the draft but being at the top of the other rounds does make a difference so sit back, relax and enjoy the tank.

Uhhhh what in the actual f*ck did I just read? 

The ENTIRE point in tanking is to get the 1st pick not the 33rd…?

I truly cannot believe this actually needed to be said

It doesn’t matter where we pick in each round. Fitt can’t pick anyone that helps our team.

Tanking is meaningful when you have a 1st. We are complaining because this wasn’t supposed to be a tank year and we gave up our first. Feels like our 1st this year might actually be high enough for a top QB without a trade up and we gave it away. Young better work out but damn we need so much more still.

I think we wanted Ben Johnson until he backed out. The thing is we have a young talented former McVay assistant coach on our staff. Thomas Brown needs to call plays.

Been reading old Indy tweets and looking at stats from his time there. The guy really does start slow. 6-10-1 in September yet 11-5 in December and it’s pretty consistent. 
 

Apparently Colts fans complained about the same things:

-Undisciplined players

-Slow starts

-Sloppy football

-Random hare brained calls with the game on the line. 

All of these slowly improve through our the season.

His catch phrase on his memes are all “It starts with me” which I’ve already noticed him saying a ton.

The Andrew Luck retirement really shell shocked his career from the start, then there is a bunch of blame gaming on QBs that was given to him but it looks like Jonathan Taylor really kept him there the last season or two. And the run offense doesn’t look much different, the OL just plays the zones better and Taylor is a monster. 
 

Ton of comments about him being a push over and yes man for the front office.

The guy I wanted rejected us (Ben J) but I'd be lying if I didn't say I stomached the Reich hire and convinced myself I liked it through the staff he brought in. So then, I accepted it and got excited.

Problem is that we now lost 2, arguably 3, VERY winnable games and Young looks much less ready than anticipated. It's just a sour taste when our flaws are the areas we were primed for the biggest improvement. 

Looking ahead, the upcoming schedule combined with circumstance has us in a bad spot that will get worse.  Just be ready folks.  Jefferson, then Detroit, then Miami.  It could get downright ugly and Reich is obviously not going anywhere in the coming weeks.

Could EASILY be looking at 0-6 going into a stretch with 3 teams that were supposedly on our same "tier": Bears, Texans and Colts.  

This offense needs to be non-Clausen level by that point.  Honestly, sh*t will absolutely hit the fan if we're 0-6 and lose to Stroud to get 0-7.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
