Yeah the presence of Ben there on that list has made me completely ignore its validity

lol. Look at this schedule and tell me the Colts are going 8-8 or worse. Also, Andrew Luck will only miss at the most 2 games. He is 90% healthy but his injury is one he's been playing through since 2015 and Pagano and Ballard are cautious and rightfully so about putting him in in early season games in our easier stretch. The Colts defense was a key aspect of new GM Chris Ballard's first offseason. He obviously can't undo 4 years of Ryan Grigson's shitty drafting and FA decisions in one offseason but he did a great job infusing the unit with more youth and competition. It's not great but it's a great improvement in one offseason. Also, the offensive line issues are greatly over exaggerated. In the last 4-5 games of 2016 the line allowed Luck to be one of the least hit quarterbacks in the league which is a positive sign going forward even with Ryan Kelly's injury.
And with that being said, the Colts are NOT worse than the Broncos, Chargers, Ravens, or Bengals. Chiefs is debatable. Based on this schedule and our roster, I'd say we should go 11-5 or 10-6 which should snag one of the 2 wild card spots. I think Houston wins the division by a game only because of Luck's injury though.

1) We're against the Rams...As bad as Scott Tolzien is, he can win that game and then Jacoby can start until Luck is ready but Luck should be ready for Week 2 to be honest.
2) I know we have Jaguars fans in here that will beat me up for saying this, but there's no way the Colts are worse than them. The Jags always have hype but they can't seem to ever produce anything resembling a productive football team because of their quarterback situation and bad offensive line and they think spending big in free agency helps. Colts, Texans, and Titans will fight for the division and the Jags will be lucky to have 6 wins unless I can be proven wrong for once regarding their offense.

Im a steelers fan too bro lol, and as someone whos watched every minute of every game this season ive just lost my trust in ben completely. Bring on Cousins or someone come next season

 

[Deschain]

Cousins gonna make 200mil next year lol.

 

[Randombobman]

Ben is hampering the Steelers offense. Bring in some young legs and dump Ben in the trash where he belongs with rivers and Eli at this point in their careers

Ben has been bad by his standards this year but he's still been in the upper half of the league. The problem is his deep ball accuracy basically fell off a cliff, meaning defenses can stack the line of scrimmage and crossing routes without fear of being beaten over the top. I believe he'll pull it together for the stretch run, but he'll certainly retire after this season. I've actually contemplated what it'd be like if we picked up cousins, but there's no way Pittsburgh shells out 25mil per year on a free agent qb. Dobbs has enough talent and protection around him that he should be able to grow comfortably in the system the same way Ben did his first few years. We'll just have to wait and see.

I wonder what it feels like to have your favorite team's legendary QB decline due to age

It's actually just the universe balancing out your lost 2008 season.

Well, the last two old legendary QBs that my team had retired with rings in their last years.

"Retire in Denver, we'll get you a ring." should become part of the team FA strategy.

Same.



Or what it feels like for your favourite team to actually have a legendary qb*






*aside from the 2012 playoffs.

The titans can prove that they're actually an NFL franchise tonight

That nice sky cam view.

And then proceeded to play Haleyball for the remainder of the half despite two interceptions deep in Tennessee territory -_-

[Pretzels]

Good to see that Alex Smith is still the same QB hes always been

This season hes been like an old car with a fresh paint job that's slowly starting to peel off

 

[Aerodactyl Legend]

Safe to say Kansas City fell off a cliff completely on their momentum.

 

[Del Rio]

Saints are the best

 

[Pretzels]

Imagine being in playoff contention for the first time in like 20 years and deciding to start a thing named Nathan Peterman over actually pretty good quarterback Tyrod Taylor

I know Peterman looks horrible 4 Picks in barely 2 quarters is crazy

Bills should not have started him and he should be gone by now

making the LA Defense look so good

 

[Aerodactyl Legend]

Five.

 

[TheValkyries]

5 ints in one half is the most justice I’ve heard get served in a while.

 

[WaterBomb]

Nathan Peterception

 

[Stallion]

Nathan Peterman sounds like be should be a reporter, not a backup QB.

 

[Del Rio]

The Giants broke the Broncos
