Utterly stupid to have not tried the onside kick. By kicking it away the way they did, the Colts get one opportunity to get the ball back, by defense preventing the 1st down. Fail and it's game over as Lion's run out the clock.

The onside kick gives the Colts 2 chances to get the ball back. Miss rhe onside kick and you are really no worse off other than a longer field. You'd still have to prevent the first down.

Makes no sense to me to not give yourselves 2 chances to get the ball back.

It's now moot though, as Colts got the ball back.

Yeah, Luck may throw a few interceptions but he's not the 1st or the last QB to do so. He's young and learning and he just got a major first down on his own and threw a fab catch by Reggie. And look at him runnin' like a wild horse!!!

NEVER SAY NEVER TIL THE FAT LADY IN THE HORSESHOE DRESS SINGS!!! AND SHE AIN'T EVEN HUMMIN' YET!!!

C'MON BOYS!!! GET ER DONE!!!!

That is if the Colts recover the onside kick

I have a heck of a lot of money newly invested in the Indy Colts with two seats, season tickets in a high-priced area. Bought into the Colts this year for the first time.

Have I made a mistake? After three interceptions, should I be losing faith in Luck?

I admit, I am starting to. Why am I wrong? All comments and personal attacks are entirely welcome.

I don't know whether my pocketbook is deep enough to wait the (how many? Insert the number of seasons here: ----- ) years to see Luck become a serious NFL QB contender. I didn't expect a playoff year, but performances like this suck the life out of me and out of my bank account.

    • 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. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
