More like....Super Bowl!

im sorry but im always optimistic. When we were 0-8 last year, i thought to myself, "Were gonna bench Painter, the backup will win our last 8 games and maybe we can slip into the wild card." Then maybe Peyton will be healthy to come back.

at 0-9. "Maybe we will win the last 7 and we still have a slight chance to make the playoffs and Peyton will come back."

at 0-10. Okay, maybe we should go for Luck! but he will back up Peyton.

Im satisfied with Lucks play though, he looks very very promising. I see the best quarterback of all time in the future. If Kurt Warner led his team to the Super Bowl and won as a rookie, so can Luck! okay?

I like the optimism, but let's be realistic. At best, we might win 10 games. With that being said, I really liked what I saw today. If our defense can continue to play like they did the 2nd half we will be well on our way to a double digit win season. Luck is definitely poised for a great season and I'm excited for the future. Probably not this year, but maybe in the next few years we can build a Super Bowl caliber team..

Conceding losses to the Patriots, Texans twice and possibly one other...the Colts could go 10-6 with their remaining schedule.

Keep in mind the second time we play the Texans is at home when the Texans may be resting their starters because they may very well have a play off bye already.

Also Hoosier keep in mind that Houston has never won in Indy, like Baltimore, Green Bay, and Minnesota. Two of which we have beaten this season. I hope we can keep the other two winless here too.

I for some reason think we had a curse put on us back in 2009 where we can't ever field a healthy team... i would like to see us have all our starters play to see how we play. i never look ahead but i think this game vs NYJ is winnable we can improve on our running game next week as well.

What makes me even more happy is we did this without Davis, without King, without Angerer. We weren't even at full strength. Casssius Vaughn did a good job on James Jones today. Total team effort!

    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.    
    • Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.
    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
