IU Scott Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 38 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: My question for the Colts fan this morning. Does thought of being sellers enter the mind before trade deadline? I know Colts can still win division and that's probably why they won't sell....but they are light years behind Bills, Chiefs shoot even Dolphins in the talent department. So I ask do you ship your guys this week for picks? No doubt they could he sellers, trade Kelly or Smith to get one of the contracts off the books. With how good Franklin and Speed has played I try to trade Leonard. I doubt anyone would trade for h right now due to the injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I will not be voting for the trade of Leonard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears need a ton of talent to go along with an unprecedented amount of $ to spend next year https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/2023/ Problem is the Colts (Ballard/Reich) still think their close. I don't know.... I like the Colts. Always have but they need to take a hard look in the mirror today and realize they might be closer to the Bears then they think...talent wise. My list of guys that I absolutely want on the Colts long-term is not a particularly long list and it's probably made up of guys that most aren't thinking of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To just act like going to Foxboro in your 2nd start ever vs. Belicheat is somehow simple is a very confusing argument, but whatever. The jets were 5-2 and NE held them to 17 on the road. They are in the very middle of the league in yards per game and points per game, halfway through the season. The math isn't mathing on you trying to say they just had a bad game against Lamar. They are an average team on defense in the year of our lord twenty twenty-two. If you think the Jets are a good team I have some nice beachfront property to sell you in Spencer, IN. They moved the ball with ease against the Pats and would have won if not for Zach Wilson having a bird brain. For the record, I'm not saying the Colts will win this week. But it's because we aren't a good team, we have a bad roster, a bad coach, and a very average dude playing QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 There has to be an award for a guy like Tony Pollard. He's better than Zeke. Everyone sees it. Yet Zeke is pulling in $12M a year vs $965k for Tony and not one word. He just answers the bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering my Bears can't either I'll take Tony P in a second....seems like Bears might be falling out of favor with David Montgomery who is headed into free agency. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he's traded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were in the NFC, maybe. But, less than 5% chance in AFC. Bills, Chiefs, Titans, Ravens, Dolphins, Chargers, and Bengals are the 7 I would pick. Jets and Patriots I would put ahead of Colts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Originally I was pissed at the 3rd down call on 3rd and 1 when JT qas stuffed.... thought about, watched the film... Nelson flat out screwed that play completely up. Zero chance can I fault a play caller for running a play for his best two players to get one yard at a crucial moment. Can't do it. Frank has to be able to trust his guys there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has to Taylor cod have had momentum to leap over the defense ala Walter Payton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly, I'd about rather run QB ISO, but... it is 100% irrelevant if you can't execute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about doing a bootleg instead of doing the predictable run right off the guard which is what we do most of the time. Bootleg where Ehrlinger can run or have a TE running the back of the end zone. We need to run more outside the tackles like we did on Hines TD or Campbell's jet sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it lays on Reich's shoulders ultimately. I am fine moving on from him, I think we can upgrade there. Maybe Bubba Ventrone is the guy? Idk. I certainly wouldn't mind Sean Payton.
