Colts 2018. A new hope.

[ChristianPatriot]

I agree that it was good to see Luck back in form (at least in the 2nd half), and Houston's defense was tough, but there were still a couple of questionable calls. Still like that they're doing as well as they are in general, but we could've won this one. Now we've got the Cheatriots Thursday night, and they haven't been doing so well. I'd love to see us pull out a win against them. That would go a long way towards building some confidence.

We’re so banged up with injuries. I’m expecting a blowout.

Colts started out the season ranked at #31. They're up to #15 already. Let's have some fun and learn to play winning football while our starters heal up.
Dang people.... this team is beat up with a bunch of starters broken up bad. Back ups are going down like flies as well.
We played 3 people off the practice squad today.
I enjoyed the game.
Give the Colts their due. They stayed in the game.
Go Colts.

Agreed! If they were all healthy and all the starters were playing they've got great potential. And the guys off the bench are doing a yeoman's job when they've been called upon.

I think I’ll refrain from handing out the participation trophies. The NFL is about winning.

I don't think it will be a blowout. On paper it should be, just because it's the Pats, but like I said, the Pats haven't been themselves this season either. Hopefully it will at least be another good game (although I'll be asleep for most, if not all of it).

That's true, but you have to admit they're not giving up after the first half like they have the past few seasons.

Ain't no one handing out trophies just yet. We're just seeing major improvement this year over the last 2 years.
We've got guys busting ass trying to make plays, playing above their talent levels in many cases.
Look at the roster... It's a bunch of rejects and players cut from other teams. There's plenty of waivers players and practice squad pick ups.
Indy hasn't had a lot to cheer about the last couple of years. At least we're seeing good football now. (mostly)

Yeah I don’t think anybody’s saying this team is any good. Our defense is too young. Our offense doesn’t have enough weapons. There’s still a lot of holes. But we’re seeing progress. Progress like we haven’t seen for three or four seasons.

Kinda reminds me of the movie, "The Replacements".

They had better cheer leaders....

Maybe.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, the Bears are 3-1.

I think the question that needs asked is..... Will the Colts have enough healthy players on both sides of the ball to finish the game?

This is not good.

This is not good.

They came in down 7 starters from last week and have lost 4 more now. EDIT: Hunt returned so make that 3 instead of 4
I don't expect miracles at this point.

After the 2nd touchdown we changed channels.

I just got home and turned on the tube. Where's "Dandy Don" when he's needed?

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Short week. On the road. Too many injuries. I just hope Luck survives.
