Default Colts a "powerhouse"?

I hope they are becoming one, but we might want to wait a second before we crown their ass. But thanks for posting your article, Jesse.

Still missing too many defensive pieces and overall depth to be a powerhouse right now. That may change after the draft and post draft free agents, but hard to say they are a powerhouse right now. Hopefully they are on their way to being one though.

Yes I agree.

The pass D in particular I still don't trust to be a true contender.

You get into the playoffs and there are no also ran, tier 2-3 QBs you are facing. The Colts still struggle there

Also need a #2 WR option. Will help getting Jack Doyle back, but even beyond that, there needs to be options beyond TY downfield. And I am not convinced Devin Funchess or Deion Cain are those answers.

Still a year away I think, but on the right track

I wrote after the season : Last year in the offseason, we really did not know if we have the head coach, GM or healthy QB to win a SB. And that is where things have to start.

I am now confident we have all three of those in place. Now need to fill in the missing pieces

The front office and coaching staff are a "powerhouse." This guy has nailed it. You guys are way to timid. We have a very good team and its time to be assholes about it. I believe we make the next step this year. And that next step puts us pretty damn close to the super bowl.

Every year the talking heads always say look out for the Jags they had a great offseason so I have learned not to listen to them!

Just hyperbole.... the article doesnt state much that those here do not already know. Upgrade the defense and were in the top third.

Every year I fixate on our ability to beat the steelers as a bit of a benchmark. Lets see the colts show up in Pittsburgh with a 5-2 record and get the win. That's when we can start bitching about people not taking us seriously.

Tossing out a term like "Powerhouse" to reference an article that is less than 20 sentences long is clickbait.
