    Last year at this time, we all waited with anticipation to see who the Colts were going to pick, either RG3 or our eventual pick Andrew Luck. There were few doubts as to who we would pick, but it was nice to see us relevant again after such a dismal season as 2011 was. Flip the switch to a year later and it is draft time again, with the team already headed in the right direction, this draft should not be as exciting as last years,but just as important.
    With the Colts nation having only one draft to use as a reference, I think it may be difficult to predict the direction the Colts will take in the draft. Obvious needs will be addressed, wether in the draft or free agency, you can count on that, but its the "diamonds in the rough" that intrigue me. T.Y was not a household name by any means and wound up being diamond who will shine even brighter with another season under his belt. Great pick there. Every draft class has a few of the guys hanging around, waiting to get discovered, lets hope the Colts can strike lightning again and find another "diamond'!!

    What an incredible game from all aspects. Sure, the first half left a lot to be desired, but the Colts brought it in the second half. Donald Brown looked great, it has been a long time since he was relevant in a game and he could not have picked a better game to step it up. We all know that in order to run the ball we have to run block and the Colts did this with a hodgepodge of an o-line. Shipley and the rest of the o-line did ok. Luck was under pressure a lot during this game and his wheels kept us out of trouble, and he does have wheels, this kid can scramble. Luck looked more like Fran Tarkenton rather than the next Peyton Manning. That might be a stretch but I am still riding high from one of the biggest wins in recent history
    . Reggie, are you kidding me? This guy is ageless, his presence has to be reassuring to a young Q.B. like Luck. To know that you have a go to guy that will lay it all on the line has to be priceless. Words cannot express how I feel about Reggie.
    Defense, defense, defense. We appeared to be outmatched in the first half but thats why we play two halves. The second half was a completely different story all together, we took control of the game with the Powers interception and never looked back. The pressure we put on Rogers in the second half was the difference in the game, we collapsed his pocket and rattled his nerves. Minus the big run in the second half, I would say that the d-line did a great against the run. Way to go D!
    Mistakes were made, way too many penalties for one and the fair catch on the five yard line stand out, but the mark of a good team is that you can over come your mistakes and move on to the next play and the Colts did not disappoint us there.
    Great win and I hope we can continue to grow as a team. This is supposed to be a learning year for our young team and there are plenty of life lessons that these young guys can take from a game like this one.

    Satele injury report?

    By Indyswagger,

    Ive been looking around the net to try and see what is going on with Sampson and have not been able to find any info. This is a huge problem for us if he is not playing. The rag tag line did ok but some of those snaps made my heart skip a beat. I am a middle aged man and cannot take a whole lot of that. On the other hand, Essex looks like he may be a nice pick up for us, just got to get more acclimated to the system, which should not be that hard coming from Pittsburgh.
    I guess I may be worried about nothing since I have not seen any info on Sampsons injury. At least that what Im telling myself.
