We were simply outplayed last night (by quite a margin). I think I'd feel much worse as a Packers fan this morning, they threw their game away.

A qb like Luck always gives you a shot, and he will continue to improve, he has taken a step forward and so have the team in each of his three seasons. I look forward to hating you guys again in the near future

For next year, I think we have a bit of surgery to do on our d-line especially, we just have a poor run defense. I think Redding might retire also, RJF, Jones all struggled badly last night. No doubt our running game needs to drastically improve too. Im doubtful Pagano is the right man to take us to a SB, though.

letowski wrote: » Yeah sad day, Reggie has been some servant, one of my favourite players. It will be interesting who the Colts see as their #2 WR. Moncrief showed should good promise last season but he is still very raw. There are reports that the Colts are linked to Andre Johnson who would be a like for like replacement I guess. I don't think we will re-sign Nicks, he did decent in the post season, but really poor in the regular season.
Raf32 wrote: I really like Moncrief but think we need to add a veteran and let him develop a bit more. Him and Hilton are gonna be one top duo in a few years. Johnson would be a great pick up, give us a big physical receiver which we are lacking now. Hopefully the Texans can release him soon. Im shocked we werent in for Marshall, would have been a steal for a fifth rounder. not too many other vets appeal atm so hopefully we can snag Johnson soon.
letowski wrote: » I agree, AJ would suit Hiltons and Moncriefs attributes. I think Herremans would be a great bit of business if we could sign him, definitely need improvements in our run game. I dont know would I be for signing Cole though, I think he is on the wane now and plays in a 4-3 at the Eagles? Still though, we lacked leadership I think on our d-line last year and he would be better than Werner imo.
Raf32 wrote: » Ya think your right about Cole. Saw on twitter that he would prefer a move t oa 4-3 team. Werner should be used as trait bait imo, maybe for a depth at cb. Id say we will sign Pernell McPhee from the Ravens.
letowski wrote: » Yeah I think so too. But would you think McPhee is better than Walden? I thought Walden was ok last year overall, but there doesn't seem to be many options for the Colts out there to sign.
Raf32 wrote: » Im not sue, i have seen very little of him. What do you think? I was happy with Walden too, think he gets a lot of undeserved stick. But im really worried about the pass rush. The only bit of pass rush we got last year was through blitzing and Id say Mathis will decline severely next year. So a few extra bodies that can play the position is needed imo. McPhee and Cole and Id be happy. Im really worried about the safety position too. We havent signed Adams yet and its a really bad market and draft for the position this year. im not Browns biggest fan so dont want to see him coming back as a starter next year. So many holes t fill!

Raf32 wrote: I like the Todd Herremans pick up. not too expensive and solid in the run game if we can keep him healthy. So far so good!
letowski wrote: » Looks like going by reports today that Gore will be arriving here too 12mil/3yrs, 7.5mil garraunteed. I think himself Boom Tipton and one of a fit Ballard or Bradshaw would make a v good backfield. I like that there seems to be a strong focus on our run game in the fa, as it was poor last year. If we can get Andre Johnson too our offense should be in good shape next season. EDIT: Mike Adams agreed an extension so it's been a good day
Raf32 wrote: » If we get them two guys that offence is set, has a bit of everything. Wouldnt mind a centre but cant complain :pac: We really needed Adams back, thank god we got that done. Redding visiting Arizona tomorrow is a bit disappointing. Hopefully we can get a lot of help for the front seven now. Draft Adams partner at safety.
