...and on Saturday they'll give mike Tomlin a nice gift too.

What I think Steichen meant was he though the defense was.'overdue' for a stop.

It won't be LoL

Like JMV says...."one step forward, two steps back"

Pathetic showing all around......something that was really expected last week.

Yeah the Yankees are back. We got Soto!!! And added Verduego, and a defensive CF. Yanks are reportedly very interested in a standout pitcher from Japan which would be a big addition to their starting pitching. I will be renewing my subscription to MLB Extra Innings AND purchasing a new Yankee cap.

I liked this years Top 4 QB class and felt that at least three would make it. I'm also not as down on Bryce young as most others. I think in the proper circumstances he may turn out to be a serviceable QB. I was very ecstatic AR5 fell to us and that Ballard selected him and feel Levis will be a good QB too.. I'll also be curious to see how Hooker does and if the QBs from Georgia and TCU hang around as backups.

I wouldn't say "durability" but rather having good line of scrimmage knowledge and knowing quickly which receiver to throw to before the pass rush got to them. They were more cerebral than athletically durable imo.

Good for him and good for the Eagles hoping he contributes. Wish him well.

Proud to be a small part and Happy and Healthy holidays and the upcoming New Year to EVERYONE.

I don't think we still need a QB(at least hope not), just need for him and coach to play smarter and call less plays that puts him in danger. I do think it would be smart to have a backup on roster with similar mobility and arm strength so the playbook doesn't drastically change if AR5 gets hurt.

Acquiring a very good to elite kicker is always a smart thing to do.....and I said it when it happened.

Were 7-5 in a season with a favourable schedule. I wouldn't read too much more into that. Were winning close games that have been lost in recent years, part of that is having a decent coach so far compared to who coached previously. Hopefully it will continue, hopefully with a healthy AR5 and linear improvement the future will indeed be bright. But the NFL doesn't always work that way. Colts are currently above .500 and in the playoff hunt and that is reason for enjoyment, so lets just enjoy the current situation because in the nfl, especially teams like the colts, there's no guarantee what the future brings. I remember in '95 we were a young talented team that came just one play from the Super Bowl. Two seasons later we were 3-13. But the '95 season AND playoff run was most enjoyable and one that some here will never forget. Maybe Minshew can play Harbaugh's role and do as well or even better. LoL

Just shows how stupid the Panthers were in hiring him.......same organization that got rid of Cam and Christian McCafferty! But to their credit they seen the mistake and Fired him in season.

He's still well under .500 in his seventh season and has led the colts to two Top 4 overall(3rd &4th) draft picks with no division titles and only one playoff win. Wanting to hire Josh McDaniels and sticking with emergency hire Reich for so long, including a extension, aren't things to be proud of.....and neither were bringing in Wentz and Ryan. Being in playoff hunt is breath of fresh air BUT we're only two games over .500 with a favourable schedule. Colts fans have seen more Bad play than good with him in charge and he's fortunate he still has the gig, and he needs more wins in more seasons than this seasons current record of 7-5 before I crown him better than mediocre.

I don't know if Tribisky is a downgrade from Pickett??

I felt it was time/turn for the colts to have a decent season which is why I predicted we and/or Houston would contend for the division or a wild card. But despite only winning 4 games last year the team could have or should have won at least a few more. And when you add that '23 has upgrades at QB and just about any new HC would have been a huge upgrade from last season, the improvement in record is explainable.

Your short changing him by a lot. I heard he's guaranteed like $34 million for his 4 year rookie contract. His body should feel a lot better than a mere million dollars. LoL

I agree the Steelers aren't great and in fact I think they are less than mediocre, especially their QB and offense. On paper and the eye test I would say the colts are better.... But the Steelers have "other" things going for them besides talent AND historically the colts have only beaten them like two or so times in the last half century! I don't think the colts need to win 6 in a row. If they can be 8-6 after the Steelers game they have a decent shot at a wildcard, which is why I think the titans & Bengals game are very important. Regardless, it would have been nice for colt fans if AR5 didn't get injured and they could have had him and JT for the entire season.

I live far away from Indy but it seems they like voices that paint a rosey picture of their team and management.

Levis is a rookie and green BUT he is mobile and has a lot of arm talent. I haven't seen him in theIr last games but what I saw in earlier games is he's well capable of taking advantage of a soft secondary that may concentrate more on stopping Henry than their passing game. The key is stopping Henry without leaving their receivers wide open, especially the very talented Hopkins. JMV often says the colts organization usually takes one step forward and then two steps back. So I guess he probably thinks this is the time they take some steps back Lol. With the Steelers coming up I think it would be satisfactory to be 8-6 after these next 3 games. But I wouldn't be surprised if they were 7-7 or 6-8 and being out of the top 7 seeds.. The games against Tennessee and a Burrow-less Bengals are very important to win(for playoffs because I doubt they beat Pittsburgh) but are far from gimmes.

I hate them more than I hate the pats, especially since Brady left. I just hope minshew isn't injured when we play them and Lamar Jackson doesn't go down like Watson and Burrow......but still there will be refs no matter what LoL.

.....and YOU THINK minshew will raise this team above mediocrity???

I'm only going to answer if we had AR5 as QB. 8-3
