    When did I even mention the Colts? My reply had nothing to do with that game.

        I would argue that the Colts have the best balanced roster and coaching of anyone in the AFC South. While Brissett is not Luck, he's the 2nd best QB in the division Watson. And unlike Watson, Brissett has the superior OL and HC.

            Well, considering many experts had picked Indy to win the division, even after Luck's retirement, I'd suggest you look again at the rosters. Colts are a very good team. Their kicker missed 7 points, but we gifted them 2 TOs. We won.

                Strongly disagree with this evaluation of the Indy roster. I put a nice bet down 2 days after the Luck news. Brissett is no Luck, but he does not turn it over. It is a night and day different roster and circumstance than 2 yrs ago. In fact i just added to it after week 1 (do that for any team i play season total that loses wk 1. Wk1 over reactions in NFL lines and season totals make some of the best betting values of the year in any sport IMO. I don't double down. Fyi love the eagles season total after wk 1. their showing plus dallas showing made it almost even $ ). At +430 i think it was the best value out there. We shall see

                      Ok, but so what. It was just a joke, albeit with a hint of truth behind it. AJ did it with BIP (Mathews) then scrub years, TT did it with MG then scrub years. Please don't start counting exact #years between LT, RM and MG. Its just a joke

                        I know. I guess I took a joke post more seriously because I see TT learning from his mistakes. Hence no trading up the last 4 drafts. Wish he could find a way to trade down more though.

                          Agree it looks like he learned he gets less from trading up than he hoped. Today's roster is a lot better than it was when he got here and i agree he's learned and getting better. No GM is perfect, we notice his errors but not the equivalent #misses on every other team. All other teams didn't get a lot better than LAC, after all. He's been catching up, so by definition he must be doing better than average.

                          If he starts hitting on stud linemen we'll really be in business - we have 3 young significant draft picks (Rd 3+) that could be good or whiffs, and some late round/UDFAs. Need to hit on some from each category. But if it takes 4 years for a guy to be able to start, thats not going to cut it as thats when they start to cost real money (or lose them).
