regardless of HC ect. and QB

our schedule is very favorable to suck for Tua, or whoever is the #1 QB prospect.

3-13 can do it!

Marlins, Dolphins, Lightning, Heat, Canes.

Yeah, teams that fail on purpose disgust me. It shows the front office is incompetent and can't properly build a team.

Notice how teams that take a dive often still suck with their shiny new QB?

I mean, Luck was supposedly the best prospect in forever and the Colts are still a pretty bad team.

Colts just made the playoffs. Can't be all that bad.

Well, the Colts finished the season by going 9-1 in their last 10 games. It took Luck a few games to get back into form after his injury, but the guy is playing lights out right now. (Sans that stupid INT he threw last night...lol...head scratcher) I mean, I think Luck has 40 TD's with only 15 INT's.

I agree. We need to instill a winning culture and even if it means sliding down in the draft we need go out and try to win every game. One thing I would like to see us improve this offseason is our team toughness. Sometimes I think our guys play like they are at the country club. I don't want a dirty team, but I would like to see us be one of those teams that other teams don't really want to play. A team like the Ravens. They bring it, and I want a team that brings it too!

Leadership isn't getting people to line up behind you; it is getting them to join you.

Sometimes the journey is as important as the destination.

The little things matter. Winning starts by not beating ourselves.

Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.

Team Tua.

Miami Dolphins Homer!

Barely.

The point wasn't that they are bad. The point is they are only just barely better than us.

The Colts have a franchise QB in Luck, an improved OL, and the defense has improved this year too. Just having a franchise QB puts them ahead of Miami, but the better OL makes it not even close.

A terrible play call, terribly executed.

I honesty believe site unseen we can be 8-8 next season with a new coach and a batch of new players. We’re not going to suck for luck part 2 the new coach isn’t going to go that route

The owner just basically said we are going into tank mode. Embrace the tank.

As a Philadelphia 76ers fans...I am officially done with the idea of tanking.

I'm definitely anti tank....I'm a 76ers fan so i'll say no more about this. It sucks the life right out of anyone following the team. Obviously it has it's potential rewards, but time is precious and I don't want to waste time on a team that is deliberately tanking games. In fact....I don't there was a single team in the NFL this year that actually wanted to tank away the season. Quite a bit of parity if you ask me. Arizona is drafting #1 and they are probably one of the best last place teams i've seen in quite some time. Certainly better than the Cleveland Browns of recent years. No....Tanking should not be in the cards for our guys or our team. Any down can be a players last at any moment in the NFL and nobody wants a career to end due to tanking away a season. These guys are playing for jobs in the league, careers are on the line. Never have I seen a team in the NFL blatantly tank. Even Oakland had hopes of winning to start the season.

I’m also anti-tank but it is what it is.

Rebuilding doesn’t mean you have to suck. It means we build through the draft. We have young talented player on this team that gase didn’t like or play. If we draft a few good ones and sign some young free agents that fit our style I don’t see why we can’t be a team that is going to get back to 500 quickly.

That's not what he said- he specifically stated that he hoped we weren't 3-13, but he'd be okay with it if that's what it took. That's completely different than saying we're going to lose on purpose.

Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

The Colts started off slow. Mainly because Luck was rusty.

However, they've quietly finished the regular season by going 9-1 (after starting 1-5) with the 5th ranked offense and 10th ranked defense.

They're very good.

It's fine if you think they are a good team, but the honest truth is they are a shit sandwich if you ever take the time to watch them play.

Tannehill had that sort of record with Gase for a while. I don't see anyone who wants to defend him.

Tua is the real deal. Unless something unexpected happens, he quits or gets hurt, he will be either the 1st or 2nd pick (Trevor Lawrence being the other) in the draft he comes out in.

I've watched every game of theirs this season. I've watched about 6 of their last ten using All 22.

They are a very good team and if their defense holds up I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they win the AFC.

I'll honestly be surprised if they win a playoff game, but we can disagree it's fine.

Like I said I was only jokingly being an ass about it, whether they win or lose has no impact on me. I just dont see it. Same way I dont see Luck as elite, though he does have stretches.

The Texans have a great defense and their offense is top notch. And if the Texans win it won't be because the Colts suck. It will be because the Texans beat a very good team.
