Colts / NFL Game Thread

Side note: If the Colts win next week and the Texans lose then we win the division or a Steelers/ravens loss and a Colts win vs the Titans we are in at 6.

If the colts win I think they do make it. Mostly cause I think the Steelers drop a game.

Colts are on fire despite a terrible start to today's game.  Luck is playing as well as I've ever seen him play.  I really hope they make these playoffs!

I agree with the earlier comment on Hooker.  I know he got that last interception, but it was a terrible throw.  The wide receiver was 5 yards from the ball.  Because he was out of position, he got the pick.  We need help on the corners and beyond.

That said, we're playing great ball over the last 9 games.  We're peaking at the right time.  That matters in the playoffs.  Go Saints!

He led with the crown of his helmet. In what world is that not a penalty?

It's a penalty because the league doesn't want QB's getting hit. The whole point of playing defense is to hit people and get after the QB. If that hit warrants a penalty, just give QB's a red jersey or start playing flag football.

The league wants the helmet not to be used as a tackling weapon. If you dont see this as spearing.. I just dont know what to tell you

So you’re saying the league is trying to make it safer for the quarterback AND tackler....? What a concept...

Saints will get it done! Go Saints. I actually like Brees despite the Purdue ties.

It’s a penalty because of the ongoing issue of brain trauma along with the lawsuit against the league because of CTE hence why leading with your helmet(head) is a penalty. Your post is so far off it’s not even funny, and I hope to god no football league adopts your way of thinking.

 

Edit: the league does go over the top with a lot of their rules but leading with your head isn’t one of them.

Looking like the Colts are gonna have to lean on the Jags, Browns, and Bengals...all on the road next week. Sucks.

Wow. So many chances for the Colts and good teams keep imploding. This is unreal.

Colts control their destiny

Thank you Juju

Wowwww!!! What a crazy game! Thank you Brees and the Saints and Tomlin for that foolish fake punt! Now let's go beat the Titans and wreak havoc in the playoffs. Who would've even thought we'd have a shot at the playoffs after being 1-5???

Has a 1-5 team ever gone on to make the playoffs or win their division. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,474]

That game next week will be very tough. I see the colts as underdogs.

That game earlier against the Titans was the easiest game we've had in years.  It was such a blowout that we pulled our starters with 9 minutes left in the game.  I'm confident.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I wonder if Mariota will be healthy enough to play next week?
