We are weird to the point of frustration. When we absolutely have to win we lose, but when our playoff chances are all but diminished all of a sudden we play our best football. I don't get it. 

Against a team fighting for their playoff lives no less.

INDY has had an up & down yr that's for sure. Just when I think all hope is lost, we show up & then when I believe things are getting better; the Colts look like they forgot how to play ball. I can't figure out our inconsistency at all either. 

Yup, a must win game and we played a very ugly game.

I have to say it was the most disappointing loss in the Luck/Pagano era. Mainly because we were 7 point favorites, playing a team with a Below Average QB at home, and what was at stake. Losing to the Patriots in the Playoffs in 2013 and 2014 was bad but most people expected that.

I will give some credit to the Texan D. They showed up. Indy still should have crushed them though. You can't lose to Brock Osweiler at home. You just can't.

The games aren't meaningless though (I know the moment I said that I probably ticked off a lot of people ). It would take a miracle, but the Colts I think have a better shot at making the playoffs this year, rather than after last seasons loss the Texans. The only reason(s) though are that they're still 3 games left, and Houston could always lose 2 of 3. Plus the Colts have the tie breaker as well.

They absolutely do not deserve to be the in the playoffs as it stands. Whether they finish 6-10 or 9-7 and somehow squeak in, I don't really care. I'm down for whatever. Lets see what happens.

same tbh

Would be pretty cool, two long time suffering fan bases.

Raiders have won a lot in the past. I would rather see KC or San Diego. SD has no shot though. 

If they play anything like that next week, I have no doubt....not only will they beat Houston, they'll destroy them.

Yup, we can do this.

Call me crazy but the team I am most worried about playing in the AFC is actually the Chiefs. The Chiefs have won against several pass happy teams this year; Colts/Saints/Falcons etc. and they beat the Raiders this year early on I think.

I want to see if Oakland can beat KC in a few days and how this shakes out.

I can see us winning the division and hosting the Chiefs and that defense worries me. I am hoping more for Denver (I think we would beat them at home) and even Oakland as hot as they are, we might be able to out score them in a shoot out.

Even NE I think is more vulnerable now. Gronk is out and the Jamie Collins trade IMO was dumb as hell.

I would even take Baltimore at home.......I think we can get them. Chiefs though in a second meeting we might be better against since Luck is better now then several weeks ago.

Clearly though I am looking too far ahead......I know ignore me. OMG we need to win this weekend pretty much.......but Brock has been so bad I can't get overly worried yet early in the week. And without JJ Watt that makes the Colts o line feel much more free.

Too bad Stanford is playing Rice. That won't be much of a competitive game.

We need a thread about the Notre Dame situation. You're from Indy. Do the fans want Kelly back? What do they think about the NCAA vacating all their wins for two years?

Enjoy the games.

Re: my comment above, I just heard that Kelly will be back. I am surprised.

Very entertaining games today indeed. Congrats on your UK victory against Louisville. I watched Michigan @ OSU and ND @ USC.  I enjoyed both.

I know ND fans are nothappy with Kelly. ND was pretty bad this year. And thanks! We are 7-5 this year which is pretty awesome. 

We were outside most of today.  It was awesome! I could get used to this....

Indiana just knocked off #3 Kansas 101-97 in OT! What a win.

That was a heck of a game.

Hah you got that right!

Guess it's time to watch myself around you more often now. ;) 

Dang, don't get all high maintenance on us  

But congrats dude. Fun times for all!

Awesome!  Couldn't have picked a cooler poster.

Where is Floroda? Just joking! I have been knawwn too mace typing mystacks myzelf. 

Yeah, you're exactly right RTB. I hope Colt fans in Florida & all citizens out there can flee to safety & return home with minimal cleanup very soon. 

Yeah he is.

I agree RTB & M-432. Get the ball to our playmakers & Jack is definitely flowing better than Allen at the moment. 

I agree!

What 2006Coltsbestever said. I got two exams on Monday. Not gonna be fun if i gotta spend the rest of the day studying in a bad mood  

Yeah but hope to get on home from church to watch.

How Fisher still has a job is beyond me. He is the epitome of mediocre.

He's a good defensive coach, that's about it.. If he shifted back to being a coordinator, I would gladly take him. 

Bogie is right. Jeff Fisher is so overrated as a head coach it's not even funny man. 

Yeah I agree, I rank the sports I like regarding my BIG4

1. Pro Football

2. Pro Basketball

3. Pro Baseball

4. I love watching the NCAA Basketball Tournament in March, so I would put that 4th more so than I do like watching the College Football season in general.

I love both the NFL and NBA. But, I find myself often getting more excited and into the NBA playoffs every year. I love the series format for longer more fun fan anticipation.

With the NFL I find myself a lot more into the week to week regular season games since there are not as many over the NBA where there are so many more regular season games and you often can tell ahead of time who the top few contending teams will be before the season even starts.

Not sure anything can top the Cavs/Warriors 7 game series this though this year. That was drama at it's finest.

The best part of the NFL is the ability of an underdog to rise up and win something and go farther. In the NBA it's a lot harder to see that so you often have to find a top dog you like to root for on the side.

In the NBA though, I often felt these are the best athletes in the world maybe. Not much can top their stamina and athletic ability and the Olympics proves they are among the best athletes worldwide from the USA every 4 years now it seems.

Oh and yeah college basketball is great too, love March Madness but hate when I get it wrong lol.

One game at a time! Time take to names and kick some butt and prove the doubters wrong!

 no problem. To be honest, I had no idea there was even a follow option until you followed me. But I enjoy the stuff you post and always recognize you by your awesome avatar  

Yeah, whenever I see this Vince Neil/Crue/NFL ad, I get pumped because it's almost here...

Bring it on Baby...

Mike Zimmer is so darn funny in that serious section of "Home Sweet Home." LOL! 

It makes the commercial so hilarious & memorable man. Love ya Zims! U Rock! 

Thank you Gramz, you're pretty much a legend on here. Truly honored for your kind words!

Congrats as when you have 6,000 posts you are a huge legend!

6,000 posts is a H-U-G-E milestone RTB. Toot your horn a little bit man! 

SW1 enjoys having you around. You're not going anywhere buddy. I wouldn't allow it. 

Okay, I can't control you or force you to stay put I know. But, I'd miss you if you left. I mean it.

You're a good dude & a very talented writer. Maybe I should call you Notorious RTB. Oh yeah.

Yeah the song I heard seemed like something straight off Kill'em All, so it's good to see them kind of go back to old school so far at least.  We will have to wait and see the rest of their album.  I was more of a Ride the Lightning, Masters of Puppets, And Justice for All fan, Black album which was more of a classical metal style instead of quicker thrash but it's good to see them go old school style none the less. 

Yeah their old stuff was Godlike. I can't believe how good Hetfield sounds. Hes approaching 60 years old and has the vocals of a 30 year old. 

This is basically gonna be a double album which is pretty cool. Metallicas thrash metal is my favorite.

That's pretty cool I never knew it was going to be a double!  I'll have to check it out.  I primarily listen to all kinds of metal, old school wise I like a lot of Metallica, Ozzy, Pantera, ect.  I can't ever get sick of any them, lol. 

Thanks for shout out praising us night owls CBE. Howl....

No worries 100GFB. Quality time counting sheep is perfectly fine too my man. 

RTB is right. 2 AM brings out some very polite people & thought provoking discussions & interactions in my experience. 

Yeah I am always up late at night. Was never a day person. To me nights are much more peaceful. The most problems I have ever had at work is when I worked days.

I've never been a day person either lol
