The Colts QB in 2021 is?...

[albany ed]

Unless the Colts make the playoffs and Rivers wins at least 1 game in the playoffs, I really don't see him coming back. With the Jets blowing the Trevor Lawrence bowl, this division has 3 of the strongest young QBs in the NFL. And, none of them play for the Colts.

In 2nd half of PIT game, the refs completely shoved the scale down on the side of the Steelers.

I forgot that the NFL has a narrative and having a 39 year old QB who has never sniffed post-season success win today was not in that narrative.

I hate forgetting that unless we have a HoF QB on the roster, we are the Washington Generals, not the Globetrotters.

We need to try to draft out next young HoF QB so we can be in the NFL narrative again.

The Chiefs are the narrative and we are the one team that is built to beat those guys. That is why we get taken out of games by the officials.

I don't think it is that machiavellian of a plot. This stuff happened against the Packers too. It was really blatant at times. I think it is simply they want to make sure the money-making star QB teams make it into the playoffs. And the Colts are not that right now.

But the block in the back, the non PI calls, etc. They kept that team moving along.

The holds were not called on both teams. They captured some obvious ones the Colts were making. But they were grabbing and tackling our dline at times too.

You think the Colts are built to beat the Chiefs? Reasons? I actually think the Chiefs would annihilate the Colts. Mobile QBs are the death nell for the Colts.

I don't believe that the Colts are "built" to beat the Chiefs, but I do think that they are capable of doing so.

Similarly, I don't think that the Colts are "built" to beat the Packers, but I do think that they are capable of doing so (as they did last month.)


I understand the general gist of Racehorse's post, but I think that the wording of it is a slight exaggeration. Aaron Rodgers is a mobile quarterback, and the Colts did a reasonably good job against him. Deshaun Watson is a mobile quarterback, and the Colts sacked him 10 times in 2 games (5 in each game.) I don't think that any defense is thrilled to have to face a mobile quarterback, but I do think that the Colts have shown that they are just as capable (if not more capable) of beating great teams like the Packers and the Chiefs as are the Bills, the Browns, and the Steelers. I would bet on the Chiefs beating all 4 of those AFC teams in the post-season, but I would give the Colts as good a chance as any of those 4 to pull the upset.

I think they are capable of beating anyone when they aren't weighed down by mental hangups.

They have a mental block almost every AFC playoff team of note other than Kansas City.

After beating them with Brissett. I've never thought this team was "scared" of KC like they are of the Steelers or the Ravens.

I said it when Luck bailed, he set this franchise back at least 5 years. We will be entering year 3 pretty soon and still have no idea who the QB of the future is, Rivers certainly isn’t, and if it’s not Eason, add another 2 years to my prediction.

If wishes were horses, beggers would ride to town. Luck is gone. It wouldnt be different if he lost a kidney and had to retire? He didnt set the team back. That would be Irsay, who hired the WORSE tandem of coach and GM ever.

Stop kicking Luck when the D couldnt get a stop in the second half against the Steelers.

Luck had every right to retire and I dont blame his decision.

Yes, the D fell apart last week.

Irsay made a bad choice with gm and coach, then made it worse by sticking with them.

All true. But to say that suddenly losing your young, rising, franchise level QB didnt set the team back is foolish. Of course it set us back.
