Nice work MOB! Good luck in the next phase of life either college or the job market.

@Ty Yes, same school. I graduated from there in 2012

Congrats MOB, no more Ms. Maxey

I want better coaching and smarter front office decisions. Grigson's last few drafts were okay but that doesn't change the fact he hasn't built a good team around Luck. They all need to work together to actually accomplish championships.

I want consistency in the play as well. I'm tired of them changing things around and playing relaxed even if we have a big lead. Monachino's prevent defense is so awful it sickens me. 

Why care about gender in this age? If they're a good coach, hire them. 

I think the reason we play relaxed is because our secondary meaning DBs in the secondary minus Davis feels like a revolving injury door a lot. I just wish INDY could find a strength & conditioning coach that actually kept players loose, flexible, & ready to roll week in week out. 

I wish a journalist in the NFL would write an in depth expose on which teams keep their players healthy the longest during the season & breakdown what criteria makes a solid staff on the rehab & endurance front across the league. 

It's not all Monachino's fault though. Our pass rush isn't great outside of Mathis, Walden, Jackson, & Langford. It's not like we have Buffalo's defense in our arsenal. 

Regarding your last 2 sentences, the NFL is slow to adapt to change. Look at how long it took to adopt independent concussion experts & protocols. Or even hire female NFL referees. Yes, I know team owners can hire who ever they want to coach & coordinate a roster. However, sexism still exists in 2016 & getting a full time opportunity to instruct players in a specific unit isn't as commonplace as one would currently hope it is. It's changing for the better thankfully, but the pacing is slow in NFL ownership circles in terms of permanent coordinator positions or running the whole program as a woman. 

All I'm saying is this: Just because society has evolved, it doesn't always translate to meaningful hires in high profile jobs or salaries traditionally held by men for women in the 21st Century. That's reality. I don't agree with it, but longterm change always moves at glacier speed. 

We need to find other decent corners to help Vontae Davis out. Also, the strength & conditioning is killing these players too so we need a new one of those too.

We don't have any talent in the pass rush, so we NEED to be LB heavy in this upcoming draft, which has so much talent coming out of it on the defensive side of the ball. But still, Monachino still hasn't lived up to par of what he should have been doing. We're the 30th/31st ranked defense in the NFL, we're not stopping anyone with it.

Thank God, what they also need to fix is the "No Fun League" aspect, because players are getting fined for even staring at the opposing team this season. It's ridiculous and sucking the fun out of this game.

Things could be better or worse for this team, but at least we aren't the Browns.

Snowing here...soon to change to rain however.

had snow on tuesday in jersey

SW1 hates snow with a passion & SW1 always will. Grr!

yeah he got 861 right now he just need gud game over 100 in 1

plus like 60

I hope he gets it. I really do.

MOB I don't want to play like we played vs Chiefs. TB will not give us a chance at a comebacks

Gabriel, if our offense plays the way it did in the second half, and our defense plays the way it did during the first KC game, then we should have a good chance.

As long as our defense doesn't get torched like we did in the Wild Card.

If anyone will ever beat Undertaker it will be Cena sadly.

Seth Rollins future World Champion!

#believeinrollins

Maybe HBK will come out of retirement to beat the Undertaker.

Seth Rollins is one heck of a wrestler. All of the Shield are.

I don't think anyone should break his streak.

Thanks, Colts fam!

happy birthday man

Happy B Day MOB! Better late than never right? I do like cake. Maybe it's the inner child in me. I don't know. I hope your festive occasion was a memorable 1 anyway.

Good call 100GFB. Beats are indeed nasty & not the good kind of nasty either. LOL!

My Little Pony is quite the success. I'm sure the developers are loving the fact they have a male audience buying merchandise too.

Thanks for letting me know what a brony is CM1788. I appreciate that. I need all the help I can get.

I'll put my jersey on it that we can make the playoffs. I'll be damned if they don't.

I, for one, am glad it is week one, get it out of the way so we don't have to hear the hype leading up to it ALL season

It is what it is. I just want both Luck & Manning to have a competitive game with no injuries on either side.

Me too. It's time to beat them!

If Luck can cut down on interceptions vs Foxboro, INDY has a shot of keeping the game close at least.

Gonna happen....

true

Someone PM Nadine or a staff! This should be fun!

Yes, Gramz did start a great 12 Days of Christmas thread. You can find it here:

Per Mike Chappell he might miss 1 or 2 games.

That's not too bad. Hate to see him lose time though. Rest up, Reggie.

We need Reggie down the stretch. I'm cool if we sit him down this week as a cautionary measure.

what frustrates me is they keep starting reed satele when neither are doing much. plus they cut whalen and rogers still doesn't see field.

I don't know what else to feel anymore. I'm losing faith in this team and I know they have the talent to pull out victories.

Actually, not faith, it's the confidence in this team. They have played like a steaming pile of garbage.

Steelers are my favorite team to beat!

This should be an interesting game that's for sure. I LOVE beating the Patriots though.

We get to beat Pitt, NE and the Cowboys in the same season, all my favorites.

that was gonna happen eventually. I was thinking reigns would be the one to jump ship

The last person I expected to do it was Seth. I expected Dean.

dean would have been too predictable

yessirrr

I don't know a great deal about Jackson. How much impact do you see him making? Do you see him being a starter?

He was the Browns' defensive captain, and he was a very good LB for them. He should have a solid impact, and I don't know about starting because we have Freeman and McNary as well, they could rotate.

I've been checking to see if I still have a heartbeat after that win.

I still haven't stopped shaking.

Straight Reggae and Classic Rock for me man.

That was probably the worst we've looked all season but it was just one of those games. Credit to the Chargers for being efficient enough to capatalise.

That was the worst we looked all season. You can't win every game and it happens. I'm confident they will roll back and win here.

Yep, it's strange to not play in the post season this yr out of habit. As in, I'd prefer to not repeat this experience the following season either. 

As for the SB, I'd like to see NE vs GB or Atlanta personally. 

I was talking for Colts offseason plans, which probably isn't happening. As far as playoffs go, anyone but New England and Houston.

Not with Pagano and Grigson running this team

Why are you so down on Pags & Grigs colts8718? Do you remember Jim Caldwell on 2011? That's worth complaining about. Getting to the AFC Championship Game. That screams success to me.

Ha!

Ha!

bengals please

Wish granted.

Holy Paige indeed. ;)

That woman is badbutt and beautiful, but I'm still not a huge fan.

longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg, already missing MNF, an addict

Reflection & Rebirth starts now. This is you wake up call Grigs...Go to work.

NE. I'd like to play Denver for a chance to go to the big game.

I also think NE is easier to beat because their offense has few weapons and their defense isn't anything special either. What they have over us is coaching and yes, still QB. We could win @ NE though. I'm fairly positive about that

After that game last night, anything is possible. We could go all the way, but I won't believe that until we make it there.
