We are essentially playing with backups on offense because none of the 1st team guys are playing |

Keep your expectations low for this year and it will be less painful.

I'm thinking it is too. Luck will miss time. We need another draft for the defense. We will have to see how the oline is. Be nice to have a healthy oline for a change. |

Which is still an improvement over last years defense, who were guys that wouldn't even be backups or in the NFL |

Yes, but you also need to check those expectations for 2018. A lot of key players on the roster will be 21-23 years old in 2018. They'll need multiple seasons to develop into something capable of winning a Super Bowl. |

I cant remember who said it last year, but after the Texans game someone here remarked that there was not a single position on defense where the colts had better personnel. Maybe Vontae... |
