It means you have a lack of top talent and the only way you can win is with a ball control offense and hopefully limiting the other teams offensive snaps so your terrible defense doesn't have to be on the field as much. What it is, is a losers mentality. Screw complimentary football. Build an offense around the best player on the planet and blow teams off the field. Score 40 and make a couple stops on defense and you will be a much better team. If you can get out ahead of teams and make them 1 dimensional, you will actually make it much easier on your undersized defense. But we don't have a coach that wants to play that way.

-Sign Gilliam if you insist on having a FB on the roster. Won't cost you that much. - McGovern has had a rough year. I was for trying to re-signing him last off season, but I am in no hurry to do so now. He's going to get like 14 mill and I am not ready to pay him that money. It's time to start saving some money on the line. We can't keep signing these guys to big contracts. If VPG is any good, he can compete for the job with a rookie. There are drafts where you can get the best C in the draft in the 3rd round. I'd much rather do that that sign another big contract with McGovern. Edwards is the same thing. If he takes a team friendly deal, fine, but otherwise I am good going in a different direction there. We have a lot of bad contracts that we have to make up for somewhere and these guys are a place to start. - TJ can go - Knox is either a giant pay cut or should be gone. I am just afraid his relationship with Josh will cloud that situation, but business is business. - Samuel is gone - They seem to have a Bass obsession..... If you can save some money, that should the the #1 priority. - Rapp is kind of the same thing. I think they really like him, but that's a spot that needs a MAJOR upgrade. A second round S should absolutely be a consideration for that spot. This team has rewarded mediocrity because of their whole "Draft, Develop, and Re-Sign" philosophy. Look, it's a good thought to have, but it doesn't excuse you from handing out bad contracts to average to slightly above average talent just because you like the player as a person. It started with a terrible contract to Knox and has showed up way too many times. To win in the NFL, you need STARS. As many as you can get and then fill in the bottom of the roster with whatever. For too long, we have been trying to build a roster that is deep. A roster where the drop off isn't significant from the 1s to the 2s, the 2s to the 3s, etc. They want to be able to sub guys in and out and still get the same level of play. Well, what happens eventually when you do that is sure....you get consistency, but you don't have any alphas to make the plays when you need them. I mean, how many true STARS do we have? Two? Allen and Cook? That's about it. There's nobody on defense that OCs are truly losing sleep over. And aside from Allen and Cook, there is literally nobody that strikes any fear into DCs. We have a bunch of fine players, but really only 2 DAWGS. That's not enough. The focus needs to switch. We need to start improving the top of the roster somehow and if it costs us some quality depth, so be it, but this team needs an influx to top talent.

I know the big question is whether he can get caught up in the offense enough to be able to play on Sunday. It's a big ask......there's a lot to learn. He'll have to get his 5-10 yard mesh routes down. He'll have to make sure he can catch a WR screen behind the LOS......not just on the left side of the field, but the right side of the field as well. And, most importantly, he will have to make sure he can take an end around hand off, preferably without fumbling and making sure to get at least 3 yards out of it. Let's face it....it's a complicated and difficult task to perfect this offense. I mean, it took like 5 games before our opposing defenses got it figured out and mastered, and he doesn't have a long to time to understand it himself. He's a vet, though. If he puts in enough work.....at least an entire afternoon, he might be able to figure it out eventually.

I don't think it's that hot a take with their schedule. Going to be a fight for the WCs all the way till the end.

Game over.....

Dude....if you are not going to use all 4 downs, why take the ball first? I know it was 4th and 4 or whatever and if you don't get it, it's over, but punting there with the Chiefs only needing a FG is basically a loss anyway.

Good defense there by the Colts, but does anyone honestly believe that the Colts offense is going to score a TD in OT?

Should have let him score.....

Just an awful job by the Colts. I mean who didn't see this coming when the decided not to go for it on their last possession? You play to win..... They played not to lose and they're about to.

Ball is on the ground....his hands never touched it. Yes, he had it with his forearm, but the ball hit the ground......

Colts with the chicken call.......

Colts are done..... They've lost their composure.

Colts are in trouble.....

Colts are cracking......

If it wasn't for their cupcake schedule, maybe..... Regardless of where they finish, whether it's the 1 seed, 2 seed, whatever...... I still think they are 1 and done.
