  1. Anyone see the comparrisons between Manning and Luck's first NFL games? Almost identical. I have NO worries about Luck. He will be great. However its vital they fix the O-line. I mean seriously!!! They can't protect the QB or give him enough time to properly get rid of the ball. And we won't ever have a good running game if they can't learn to run block. Like always, the D needs to learn how to cover a reciever instead of always leaving them wide open. You just can't stand 10 yrd away from ANY reciever. They still have problems stopping the run. Same problems they've had for years. Hopefully the new coaching staff will notice all this after watching the film and make some dire changes/improvements. I think today was good in hopes that they will really study the film and be able to make the changes they need to make to fix these problems. They could learn allot from watching the film and I hope they do...

  2. Why do they continue to leave people WIDE open the whole game??? You'd think they'd learn the first time or two. The coaches need to chew them out for this and make them correct this problem. They obvisouly don't know how to give good coverage against the pass. The run defense could use some work too. I'd like to see more takeaways as well...

  3. Did anyone watch the game highlights? Can't stand those Aholes and they didn't give any credit to the Colts D or show ALL the hilights of the D in the game. They had NOTHING nice to say about the Colts and still don't give the Colts ANY credit for such a great game considering. They still think we won't win any games and that our season is over. I don't believe that. They need to start Painter and I see a much better team that can win games and prove everyone wrong. I was VERY proud of them tonight and very sad we lost this one. We could have should have won. I would have loved to shut everyone up. =(

  4. Yes I was very proud of the D too all except the Pass D. That needs tremendous improvement and then our D is a force to recon with. They plaid better than the infamous Stealers D other than the pass D. They made huge 3rd down plays EVERY time. When are they gonna learn that they can't leave people wide open and to try to prevent them from even catching the ball. This leaving them wide open and tackling them after they catch the ball is for the birds. Glad they finally moved Linkenbach to a different position. He did well tonight. I hate to see Clark still in there blocking. We are lucky he hasn't gotten injured. The Colts looked great tonight(other than the QB). I hate that they lost. They cold have won this. Too many turnovers at QB. Painter looked terrible the first few drives and lost the game for us by not protecting the ball but he really started looking better after that and actually score us a TD. He looked better than Collins and I hope they let him practice all week and start the next game. Garson dropped a few balls and cost us a huge first down and probably TD. Glad he redeemed himslef in the 4th quarter.

  5. Polian needs to think long and hard after today about his staff and his team and do what is best for the Colts and the Colts alone. Lots of changes NEED to be made. This is NOT Collins fault. He's only been here 17 days and is trying to fix this mess. Not Collins fault the O-line and D played pathetic. They need to rethink the O-line and D and make some serious changes. Peyton needs to be on the sidelines with a headset helping out and holding people accontable during the game. They respect him and I think they would play better for him. Peyton sees EVERYTHING too. The entire team and coaching staff needs him there.

  6. He won't make ANY difference because the o-line looks terrible. The D looks disgraceful. They just didn't show up to play. Been watching the media and NO confidence in winning. They need to make allot of changes/improvements before next week. Bring on the discipline and accountability Caldwell or leave. I don't want to hear any more excuses or sugar coating.

  7. I don't think you're being overly optimistic. I think you are spot on with your predictions.

    I see us winning against Houston, Jacksonville(2), Tennessee(2), Tampa Bay, Kansas City, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Carolina, Atlanta and my surpsrise team would have to be New England. Out of all the teams I hate to see us lose to, it's the Patriots. So i want this win. That would put us at a 12-4 record although i believe we can win the other game against the Texans.

    Yes beating the Pats is something I'd love to see but not as much as beating the Saints. A few turnovers in the SB and they think they are better than us...to this day. We should have and could have won that game. That loss still stings and I need some pain relief. lol. Their defense looks terrible and we can so take them if we stay healthy and play like I know we can.

  8. Yeh I saw Foster didn't practice today and Clayton said he is doubtful.

    The colts still need to be well prepared for Foster and need to do a MUCH better job with the run defense this year. I think our run defense will determine the outcome of the game. But then again they may be counting on us focusing on the run and surprise us with their passing game. Our D really needs to step up this year in every aspect and help win some games. I'm tired of everyone saying the Colts are nothing without #18 and they need to prove them all wrong. I just hope they can stay healthy and confident this year.

  9. It will be interesting to see who makes the team at RB and WR. I think the biggest improvement the D can make is to improve tackling. I'll have to re-watch the game, and hope that the guys missing the tackles won't be playing or maybe won't even be on the team.

    Evans and James really do deserve to be ahead of DB but one or both of them may be getting ... uh... bolted???

    Evans deserves to make the team after the way he played tonight and they would be down right stupid to cut him. Brown played pitiful. I can't understand why they would want to keep him. If they really want to improve our running game at all this year they need to cut him.

  10. I think you are pretty well spot on here.

    Observations from the game tonight as it relates to the roster:

    * Not sure what to make of Painter not playing and Orlovsky playing well. Still I think you are right and Painter makes it

    * I think Brown got cut tonight. Could be totally wrong about that and if I am, I think it means James got cut because...

    * Evans played his way onto the team

    * Agree that both Brayton and Anderson don't make it

    * Chick is iffy and 5 LB's seem a risk but Chick can play speacial teams so that helps there

    I sure hope they sign Evans and cut Brown. They also need to cut Lacey and start Tryon.

  11. The Colts brought in a bunch of new players this year. What do you think they improved and what do you think they still need to change/improve? Do you honestly think our running game, O-line, and overall defense has improved and will be much better this year? What players are you excited about and what players do you wish they would cut? Personally I wish they would cut Brown and keep Evans and Carter. I also wish they would cut Lacey and start Tryon.
