Complimentary football. Nice job by the o to cash in the TO.

Had to do it.

He has definitely come on and made some plays the last couple games. Hopefully he continues.

I think we have a number one receiver, and we stole him in (I think) the third round. Josh Downs appears to have all the makings of a top tier receiver in the NFL. Getting Ashton Dulin back next year will also help. Would like to see them add one more piece to that room, but I don't see it as the top priority. I think our young outside CB's, Brents, Flowers, Jones, are a pretty solid core if they can get healthy and stay healthy. Still need to add depth. On the o-line, I think this year has shown that we had more of a coaching/scheme problem than a talent problem. Having said that, there is no such thing as too much quality o-line depth. Guys get hurt. I am more concerned with LB, DE, and safety. We lack a really good coverage LB who is also at least somewhat effective against the run. In the modern NFL that seems like a must have. I am becoming more concerned that Shaq may never return to his old form. I like Zaire and EJ Speed, but I think we need some help there. I think we have a really solid d-line, but we saw first hand against the Cleveland Myles Garretts what a game wrecking DE can do. Kwity has become a really good 3 down DE, but will probably not be a consistent double digit sack guy. Odeyingbo has shown some ability to get to the QB, but he is not quite there yet. Ebukam is also solid, but not someone that strikes fear into opposing OCs. I realize finding one of these game wreckers probably requires a higher draft pick than the Colts will have, but it's fun to dream. At safety, it seems like we are ok, but not great. I think a lot of us had high hopes for Cross, Blackmon, etc., but it seems like we still need help there. The biggest thing we need is to get AR5 healthy and keep him that way. Kid showed some real promise and maturity.

Don't recall, but I sure hope it is better this year

This is why the win yesterday was crucial. This team can't afford to lose games to bottom dwellers like the Panthers if they want to have a shot at the playoffs. One of the reasons for my optimism all along was our strength of schedule. I think I saw a graphic during the game yesterday that said our SOS the rest of the way was second weakest in the NFL. IF we can get some guys back, we have a real shot at 9 or 10 wins. With a backup QB and CB room that went from a solid unit before the Gilly trade to a questionable one, to a MASH unit seemingly overnight, I would count that as a success.

Exactly. One week at a time. Hopefully the bye will help us get those few guys healthy and ready for a late push. A wildcard is not out of the question.

Clean day on the road with a lot of guys out, and left with a win. No extra points for style.

More and more I think this may be the case.

Hate all you want. Winning doesn’t care

Very well done today. Played a clean game to beat an inferior opponent on the road.

This may have been a game where the Colts knew all they had to do is play clean, so they took zero chances on offense. Barring a miracle, looks like it is going to work.

It has been the weakest of the season I think, but I didn’t see the beginning.

Of course. This is the ONLY offense to score 20 a game, but somehow we can’t move the ball. Ridiculous.

The same thing that happened against a good Browns a defense and all the other good defenses they have played.

Exactly.

nice play by 40

So happy for Kenny with family at the game!

Kenny….again!!!!!

I expect to see a lot of 28 this half.

Agreed. I think the D will continue to be hit and miss, and the offense will go as Minshew goes. If he takes care of the ball we will be fine. If he starts coughing it up again we could lose to anybody.

Amen brother!! I’m still calling 9 wins for this team.

Kenny!!!

My hot take…Bradley gets fired at the bye week
