Thank you all for sharing the usual rollercoaster ride, on the bright side we have a W. An ugly W. The type you don't want to admit to but it's still a W and that's all matters.

 

We're onto London...

And ugly W is better than a pretty loss. :)

We went to Bengals/Broncos game today,  got home in time to catch the second half of our game, and the Steelers / Eagles game was on. :argh: 

 

Luckily, that game was so far gone that they switched over to the Colts game and I got to see the last part of 3rd Quarter, and the entire rest of this Crazy :mindblow:  game.   

 

Happy Happy Happy for the Win....    Now get us another one over in London so my buddy @braveheartcolt can see a Win.  

 

Good day all around.

I went to a Bengals game once in Cincy when I was kid, my parents took me - pretty cool to visit different stadiums. I thought maybe they might take Denver but the Broncos just keep rolling. Dalton was off today. Regarding the Colts game, my stomach is still bothering me but we pulled it out. If we would've lost this one, it would've been brutal. Pretty good week overall.

It's always a penalty for illegal touching when the punting team downs the ball. Resulting in stopped clock and possession to receiving team.  Because it was the last play and defense committed foul the offense gets an untuned down

Does this mean if the receiving team never touches it and the defense never touches it, the game never ends?

I thought the penalty was only because the clock had run to 0... 

 

Great win... It got ugly with some turnovers and lucky flags, but we generally played better than the score, especially in the first half before the OL injuries.

 

T.Y. and Frank Gore are gamers. Walden was impressive along with Geathers. Davis played a gutsy game coming off an injury.  Favorite play ( other than the 60 something yard TD) was the three man pressure that tore through the Bolts' line and ended in a sack. Mathis fell down, but it was still a great effort.

Great come from behind win by the Colts with Andrew Luck's 63-yard touchdown pass to T. Y. Hilton. :cheer::coltslogo::rock: That play was spontaneous , and I admit I saw the play as it happened and it even surprised me when T.Y. both capitilized the play, and ran it through the end zone, for the 26-22 home victory, in front of their home fans at LOS (the building).

 

Also the 'Pagano Bowl' is officially in the past earlier today., and now Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano can go back and talk family with his brother, Chargers Defensive Coordinator John Pagano.

 

Now the Colts prepare both practice their next game, and make the necessary travel arrangements for their NFL International Game with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium, and televised back next Sunday morning in the US.

 

Enjoy your week in the meantime, see you here next Sunday morning for the Colts vs. Jaguars contest at London, before their bye week. and GO COLTS!!    :coltslogo:  :1colts:   :colts:  :coltshelmet:  :coltslogo:

    • The risk is that they are never much better than Kwitty Paye or the rest of the roster.  We all want a good pass rusher but we could get a day one starter thats less risky somewhere else.   I know positional value is a thing and to me CB and WR should be high on the list.   I can see putting DE over them but taking a risk on potential vs drafting a starter should be considered too.
    • Yep. Ideally you draft a player that high for the next 10+ year and not for their rookie year. BUT lately I've been thinking about something else - part of the appeal of the rookie contract is the limited money you are giving the player compared to the production they are giving you. It's not super high on my list of things to consider but losing on the value of one year of those 4-5 rookie deal years is not negligible. In most cases it probably won't influence my decision, but if 2 players have similar value in my estimation, I would probably choose the one for whom I project faster/easier path to contributing for my team. 
    • yeah this concept of not being the year to draft an edge rusher is strange. We shouldn’t be drafting for need at #15. We should be drafting for the best player that we can put on this roster, positional value factored in. I would dispute that this isn’t the year. I think it could very well be. What a better d-line to be on the depth chart on than one with uncertainty at the edge moving forward in contract years. Let a rookie stud go out occasionally and get experience/see what he’s about. We might find a true pass rusher at 15.    what I would argue is it’s not the year to draft one of our “needs” at receiver or corner considering how deep these classes are. Day 2 should be just fine there. 
    • I don't understand this way of thinking.   When you draft a player in the first round, they sign a four year contract, with an option for a fifth year. If the player is as good as you hope, then the intention is likely to sign them to a second contract for another 4-5 years. So if you hope that this player is a foundational piece of your roster for the next decade, then why would you be so absorbed in the player's playing time in Year 1?   Specific to the Colts at DE, we do not have a game changing pass rusher right now. I like Kwity and Dayo, but so far, they aren't foundational pieces. They're both going into contract years, depending on whether the team picks up Kwity's option. And we have Ebukam, who is also good, but not a game changer. There's no reason any of these players can't be challenged for playing time, especially in pass rush situations. Dayo and Lewis play DE, but also rotate at 3T, so that can be worked out. And there are injuries, which will open up playing time.   DE historically has a learning curve, even for good players. Kayvon Thibodeaux was the 5th pick in 2022, he played 14 games as a rookie, 444 pass rush snaps, and had 4 sacks. He played 17 games in 2023, 498 pass rush snaps, 13 sacks.    Ultimately, passing on a high level edge rush prospect because you're not sure he can start in Year 1 seems incredibly shortsighted.
