    I don't think the team has that high of a ceiling, but damn do we have an easy schedule this year.

    Does anyone else feel like the team had a higher playoff ceiling with Schaub than they do with Fitzy? Like with Schaub I felt that he was at least semi-capable of the spectacular, like throwing for over 400+ yards in a crucial game, engineering comebacks, etc. His main problem was he would have massive meltdown ****ups that would be too much to come back from. With Firzy at least we don't have the pick sixes, but I can't see him ever being more than a game-manager, throwing for around 200 yards a game. He is just so average.

    I'm calling it.

    We're the 2002 Bucs.

    QB is average at best!

    I miss Demeco Ryans.

    Watching him tonight, makes me remember what a great player and leader he was for us. Still a very good player.

    Colts have no pass rush.

    The Texans are getting Clowney back in a few weeks.

    I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself.....you know what I am thinking.

    Rep to first person who can read my mind.

    The Texans already have a 2 game lead on the Colts, the Titans could be the Texans best competition for the division.

    We have a 63 percent chance of making it in the playoffs and the colts have a 17% chance.... But with how lucky that franchise is, I wouldn't be surprised if they make a huge push. God I hate the colts

    Well they have a pretty lousy team this year. Their defense can't get pressure on the QB to save their lives and their run game isn't any good either. I think they are going to struggle a lot this year but you never know.

    Just to hammer home exactly how terrible the Colts' pass rush is, the Jags sacked Foles 5 times last week, the Colts got 0 this week.

    Not only 2-0 and sitting pretty at the top of the AFC South, but also the best scoring differential in the league

    First time we win @ Colts!!

    Seriously though, Indy is like the Spurs. Never count them out until the eliminating game postgame press conference.

    Robinson->Duncan
    Manning->Luck

    Lucky ass mofos

    Well next week's game where the Colts are in Jacksonville will be pretty interesting, the Colts absolutely have to win that game or things could get ugly. In fact, they need to win at least 2 of the next 3 to get things turned around or their hopes of making the playoffs could be dead.

    Yeah but Duncan is a sure fire HOFer and Luck is merely a good QB.

    The Texans are two games up on the Colts. What a way to start.

    No. But considering our start, our easy schedule and the Colts early struggles, I now think we have a chance to take the division. I still believe that the Colts will end up winning it but I went from zero chance to some sort of a chance so ill take it.
