Indianapolis Colts Off-Season Thread

Recommended Posts

We're turnover prone and we have no rushing game.  But we won the division and will host a playoff game!  That's awesome.

 

Two games before the playoffs begin.  We peaked too early this season, but there's time in those two games to get some confidence back.  I know it was another ugly win, but I feel good right now.  I might order a division champs shirt.

Gee, what else is new? Another playoff team is whipping the Colts in every phase of the game. 

 

 

This organization better take a long, hard look in the mirror this offseason. The AFC South can't stay bad forever and the way they're currently constructed, the Colts will never be anything more than a perennial division winner that doesn't have the intangibles to make a serious Super Bowl run.

Let's recap some first half issues.

 

Colts stop the Cowboys on 3rd down, forcing a punt.  Freeman taunts, ultimately giving the Cowboys a touchdown.

 

The Colts hand the ball to Trent Richardson (??!) on 3rd and 12.

 

The Colts audible to a fake punt when they see the defender leave our wide out alone.  McAfee throws a beautiful first down pass, the scrub drops it.  The next play is a Dallas touchdown.

 

Dwayne Allen drops three first down catches.

 

TY isn't playing because the Colts already have a home playoff game, Dallas is fighting for a playoff spot with a running back that just had surgery on his hand.

 

But.....there it is.  The Colts have a home playoff game no matter what happens this week or next.  Don't freak out guys, we have a home playoff game.  Anything can happen in the playoffs.  I've thought of throwing the remote control a few times this game, but it ultimately doesn't matter.  Have another beer and smile.

For awhile at least, the Colts weren't turning the ball over. That gave me some hope going forward, but now Luck is forcing things and padding his rising interception count. Only 2 more picks and he'll be tied for the league lead!

Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can become who you need to be.  It doesn't get any deeper than it was yesterday. Thankfully we have the lowly Titans before our playoff game.  If we can boost our confidence with a nice showing next Sunday, we can have a little momentum before our home playoff game.  

 

I don't beleve I'm as pessimistic as some of you...am I a Colts sunshine pumper?  (Minus that awful Trent Richardson of course)

No posts about yesterday's game or the upcoming playoff game?  Man, you guys really did give up on this team.

 

A third straight 11 win season and division title.  Nice win against the Titans...giving us a little momentum going into the playoffs.

 

Next step?  A home playoff game Sunday against Cincinnati.  The same team we demolished earlier this season.  I'm optimistic that we can do the same to them this Sunday. 

 

Playoff time!  Go Colts!!

Do we root for the Ravens to beat the Steelers?  That way our second game (if we win the first) would be at Denver instead of at New England?  The Broncos are slumping and the Pats are surging

Might as well go ahead and take on the big dog and get NE. Pay them back for last season in the playoffs.
