My glass is half full. I think this team can make a push this year to be a solid playoff team. Could even win this division, as it is weak. That said, all the injuries at CB have made me feel a lot less confident in the defense. Before we lost those guys, I felt like we had a solid chance to be a top ten defense. Not so sure now.

As to the low traffic, that has been trending down for a while. A lot of posters left for various reasons a while back. Social media platforms have impacted it some, as people can engage others on fan/team sites. I lurk at other message boards, and traffic on those has been down for them, too.

Yeah, I agree that the decline has been across the board with a lot of sports message boards.

The Pacers made a Finals run and Pacersdigest wasn't all that busy.

The MLB team that I follow used to have 3 very active boards - all 3 are now gone.

I, too, will lurk on other NFL team boards and they aren't as active right now either.

Not that I know of. Facebook has a lot of Colts fan pages. I would guess other platforms have them, too.

I think the lack of depth at linebacker will hurt us more than the injuries at cornerback. They have Franklin and a bunch of spare parts, and that’s it. They don’t have a single guy with experience other than Zaire. That’s incredible to me.

Should have resigned Speed at the very least.
