FilthyBeast Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 AFC is going to be loaded from top to bottom, and in the AFCS you get the sense that there very well only be one team that gets to the playoffs from that division this year given the strength of the other 3 divisions in terms of WC's. With that said, this is a move that could pay big dividends for the Colts especially if the change of scenery angle revitalizes Ryan's career. He really only needs to be a pseudo game manager type of QB in Indy behind their physical running game and defense for this to work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 3 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I was a big Matt Ryan fan in his day. He is done. That said, upgrade on Carson Wentz. Although he is at the last of his career, he may do much better with Colts than ATL. Colts have best the #1 or #2 RB (depending who you ask) in the league along with better weapons at WR/ TE. Also still will be in a dome. Agree definite upgrade from Wentz, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that's the case the Colts were a playoff team under those circumstances a few years ago, one that outplayed the Bills for the most part and could have easily won that game in Buffalo too. With that said the conference might be too loaded for the Colts to make noise this year unless Ryan has an MVP type of season there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Titans and Colts both play the AFC west which is the tough division on paper. But nobody wants to play either of these teams. Both have good HC's. Both play good defense - run and pass. Both run the ball exceptionally well. Both have tough matchup WR's. They also get 4 games each against Houston and Jax. That can help prop the record up. I see it as Division winners: Buffalo Baltimore KC Tenn Wildcard: Los Angeles Indy Cleveland LA and Indy were on the cusp a year ago if not for some failure down the stretch. Indy upgraded at QB, and LA upgraded on defense to address. I see Cincy's defense taking a big step back and them struggling in their division. I see LV and Den being the weaker teams out west with new HC's, and that division largely cannibalizing itself. Denver had a strong defense - but no longer has any of the defensive (or offensive for that matter) acumen that probably carried them that far. I just see a similar level of struggle there getting used to new coaches etc. Vegas was lucky last year and their kicker bailed them out a ton. Adding Jones and Adams is great - but the LBs and secondary there are pretty much trash, the oline doesn't blow me away and adams and renfrow do a lot of the same things. Patriots seem to have gotten worse for the most part. They're another Indy/Tenn style team that are annoying to play against. Miami - new HC, and just an unexciting group. Should be .500 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be .500 or something. I'd swap out Cleveland for Cincinatti, Watson hasn't played in a year and im not convinced he is a game changer for Cleveland until they build their team back up. Which they can't because they gave away their future and cap. Think it will come down to the final games whether Raiders or Colts take the final spot. You are probably right with Indy, but Carr may take a step up with Adams as opposed to Ryan with a new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t get guys that have never been greats and expect greatness when they are 40 years old. If they give up any real assets for him, their GM should be fired. I could see a flier on Mayfield, giving Mariota another shot, Minshew, whatever, but Matty’s Corpse is on Ice at this point. Just a bad move. Love to see it from a team that’s built to contend. He has been to the super bowl. If he has a solid run game and a good team around him, I think he can be effective. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how much Ryan has left; however, IMO, he is an upgrade over Wentz and a better option than Mayfied, Garrappolo, etc. He is not being asked to carry the team, just make better decisions than Wentz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
