now that this win is out of the way we have unfinished buisiness with the jags.

The Jaguars got lucky last time, it came to missed field goals and the replacement refs were not helpful either. This game will be different, the Colts are going into this game looking for revenge. Still think it will be a shoot out like this last game, but the Colts still win 34-28.

Even if we have guys out with injury (and we always do and we know Vontae/Fleener are already out) we are better then week 3. Luck is better. This offense is better.

And without MJD (I can't seem him playing since I hear he was on crutches) there goes the man on that team outside the kicker who owns our souls. Even if MJD made a miraculous appearance he is not healthy. He was not healthy word was at the end of the 2010 season either and he didn't go wild on us in the must win game we had in Indy.

we aint that great on road only thing that worries me

Baby steps. We got a road win. These divisional games are tough. We laid an egg vs. the Jets but after seeing the Bears this season I don't think that is very telling for us in week 1. That D for them is fierce.

The thing that sucks is the home team often is favored in these TNF games but we have such momentum right now I don't think it bothers me.

We must win this game. Glad it happens on a short week too so we can carry this momentum early on there. We already played them so the team has a great idea on the game plan already but our offense is much better then week 3.

This is a huge game for us. A chance to go 6-3. Jags always play the Colts tough regardless so it will not be easy. Still the Jags represent a winnable game for us. We can't let this one slip away.

This.

6-3 is the teams goal but I am sure they will enjoy being 5-3 for at least tonight!! We have some serious mo right now so this needs to carry on.

Only way we can lose is if we beat our young selves. We need to think 6-3 & that this is the biggest game of the season.

Yep big big game. But, we do say it's the biggest game every week almost it seems.

That is what I love. Every week is HUGE. We are almost developing a Cinderella season before our very eyes. I hope it keeps going.

With Thursday Night games, both teams are generally very vanilla in their game plans because of the short prep week. Arians has a good system in place and is finding a good groove. I think our offense handles their business just fine this game. The defense needs to force turnovers.

If we can go 6-3 then just think about the the other winnable games this year. Titans, Bills, at home Chiefs away and Texans week 17 if they already have a playoff bye/home field advantage. 9-7/10-6 isn't looking too impossible. Either way I'm not complaining, one more win and we already eclipse my pre-season record prediction.

that is so exaggerated. a new roster got blown out in the first game of the season by one of the best teams in the league...and i doubt the home crowd would of slow down the jets run game...which was aided by a slew of injuries.

I know the jags play us tough every single game no matter what... But the colts are due to blow someone out. I feel our stride is coming. This offense can play lights out. We played extremely well against an very underrated dline today. It's time to tear the jags D to shreds. Then weve got 10 days to prepare ourselves to keep up with the patriots at their house... I'm pumped!

This team has all the momentum and believes they can win. They Jags have neither right now. I think we win, but closer than the experts think.

You make a good point BC..

There was no reason for anyone to believe we'd make the playoffs after 3 weeks (and duing the entire off-season)

I'm sure our players will say that no one believed in them but the truth is: They didnt believe it either.....It made no sense..we were a make-shift team

But the wins over GB and Miami at home....

...a sober mind can see Indy in the post-season ..and now....the older players with playoff experience remmebr hpw to jack up the imntensity a nothc whne the finsih line is in sight..

...we are going to be glad we kept Freeney and Mathis and Reggie

Stephen, you are the king of new threads lately. lol

While I think it's awesome to have a Thursday night game......next Sunday just became boring :(

lol yea guess the only thing to do is follow new england I prefer we face them coming off a win. Don't want them to lose sunday and take it out on us the following week

6-3 sounds great... then we vs. the Pats DUH DUH DUH

I know it was a garbage time come back but the Colts were an onside kick away from having a chance to beat New England last year. I know most (myself included) would be SHOCKED if they won up there but hey stranger things have happened. With that said let's beat the Jags first!

Ease up guys! I'm keen on gettin' 6th win and revenge over Jax, but...we gave 8 injured players.

Satle is substitued by Shipley well, but Avery and Mathis are already out, I think. One of our best defensive player and one of Luck's most productive (and dangerous) weapons.

IMO this gonna be a struggle again, however I think our D is effective against run, and Gabbert won't throw an other 80 yds TD pass in the next decade again.

But the Jags have been just as horrid at home. And, MJD will miss, I believe. We're missing some components but avenge the defeat we suffered at home earlier this year.

{It would look bad for Jags only to wins to both be VS. us...}

    • Hey, Tom!    Good to see you posting again!    I know you like to show up this time of year to offer your insight.      As I like to tell you every year, I’m sure you’re posting as often as you can,  but I think many here would love to see you post more often!   This website is always better when you’re posting more!   
    • We, might... or we might not... or we might lose someone else to injury. It's just what happens in the league. If it's not one player it will be another. It's a violent sport and players will miss games.  You know how I feel about AR. I still think he needs improvements but the sky is the limit with him... I don't think there was anybody higher on him than me here. But first thing - he just needs to stay healthy.    Downs had a very promising rookie season. Hope he makes a jump in year 2 too...  Honestly. I'm not high on this TE group. The rumors about Woods are not great. Ogletree and Mallory IMO are JAGs at best. Which is OK for where they were drafted but they are not game changers. We need better... I guess if you believe in Brock Bowers we should be hoping he's there for us to take in the draft.  Cross will need to make the jump because it looks like we might be losing Blackmon. He had some flashes at the end of the year, but he still needs to show consistency over a prolonged period of time. I think Raimann is already very good. I'm not too enthused with the way Ballard has handled the DT position...    Steichen was already doing wonders with what he was given last year. IMO the hope is that AR stays healthy and is able to unlock the full potential of what Steichen envisions in his offense. 
    • I think I need to clarify something…,  I’m NOT suggesting Irsay isn’t filthy rich.  That the Colts aren’t sound financially.     All I’m saying is that from time to time the Colts might have cash flow problems.  Life as a small market team.   Nothing wrong with that.  The Colts do this (The “0” singing bonus) for a reason.  It benefits them.  And I think it’s smart business.   That’s all.   
    • I don't believe any of this post-hoc spin. He took less to play home. And even if we did believe it - OK... he did take less. What about the 100 other FAs we could have gotten?      This is exactly it... it feels like Ballard is not proactive... he's grabbing to the status quo and holding onto it for dear life. Like the status quo has actually given us anything to brag about? The Texans let go of one of their best defensive linemen... to replace him with a better one. The Chiefs let go of one of their best receivers... to replace him a better one... Those are teams that are not happy with what they had(and they were better than us) and tried to actually improve. Could that backfire? Sure. But at least they are trying to compete. What are we trying for?    I wasn't the biggest fan of the idea of giving record setting contract to Sneed while also giving up significant draft compensation too. IMO you should only do that for elite players and as good as Sneed is IMO he's not quite at that level. But with that said -yes, there aren't many high level FAs remaining on the market. Because while other teams were busy chasing the high level FAs, Ballard was busy giving 14M contract to a backup nose tackle and resigning his PED implicated 31 year old starting nose tackle 40M contract.  I wouldn't hold my breath quite honestly. With the OL there was precedent of them being great previously. With this DL there really hasn't been. We've been at the bottom of the league in creating pressures and affecting the QB for years. And the personnel will be the same more or less. A lot of people putting a lot of hope into the new DL coach. I liked that hire too, but you have to give the guy something to work with and apart from Buckner the rest of the group has never been more than... solid, and in a lot of cases much less than solid.    Yep... it always comes back to this... hoping our draft picks will pan out. The problem with that of course is that over the long term most teams in the league have about the same success rate in the draft. And while other teams use all avenues to improve their team(draft, trades, FA), it seems like Ballard has resigned himself to the draft. He will draft and live or die by it. He's just too stuck in his ways and too stubborn to make any significant changes to his approach.  That's the problem with Ballard. It's never exactly doom and gloom. I am never worried with him that this team will be horrible and hopeless. I worry that it will be mediocre... forever! Which it has been. He gives you just enough hope for your to think "maybe this year... maybe this guy will get better... maybe this draft pick will pan out", but in reality we are just treading water.    Yeah, Sneed could have been good for this defense... oh well... 
    • He turned out to be very good, but at the time of the pick, I thought we could have selected other players, as we were in desperate need of defensive players. But Addison played very well, better than I expected.
