Quote:Seriously? The Colts had just come off a huge road win in San Francisco 7 days earlier (remember? 27-7?) and face the Seahawks next week. The Jags game had 'let down' written all over it. Yeah, it wasn't the best of efforts, but it was still enough to win by 34 (which Polian Colts team had previously done that, again? Even with Manning?).


The injury bug is already raring it's ugly head in the Colts camp (Bradshaw, Landry, Satele and Jean Francois didn't play on Sunday and Dwayne Allen and Vick Ballard are on IR).


Sure, the Jags can finish 0-16 this year and draft Bridgewater (which is no guarantee that he'll translate to the NFL). Blackmon, the best? Possibly, but I wouldn't count on it (see: JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf).


The Colts are not going anywhere for the next 8-10 years. This is "rebuilding" year 2 for the Grigson/Pagano Colts.


Is "In 2 years, the Jags are going to rule the AFC South" a Jacksonville rite of passage or something? We've been hearing it every year since 2002.

At the end of the day luck isn't manning and won't even come close. You say the colts are rebuilding but I really don't see a difference in your front with throwing away a first round pick for a rb. That's not "rebuilding" that's just dumb. I guarantee you we will go to a Super Bowl before the colts.


Colts will maximum win one game every year in the playoffs but you don't have the complete team to make a deep push.


I've never said we were two years away until now. We finally have a gm that has an iq above 70 and that had a pretty good draft last year. Caldwell knows this is a qb league and he's taking bridgewater next year. Bridgewater is about as sure a franchise qb that there can be and he will end up better than luck.
