Great exciting game and I am glad we came out with the W! BUT who in the heck let Vaughn try and cover Johnson that was embarrassing. Vaughn should not be on the field I am sorry I think we need to sign Routt if we need help at CB cause Vaughn is terrible but again the win was great and HOW ABOUT THAT LUCK KID!

This season. This team.

I am in love. And have been in love since early on.........

People have thought I was crazy but this team is WILD. You can never count them out. You just can't. They are just ridiculously fun to watch and root for.

What.....a........game.

Another 4th quarter miracle that would rival the Packers win. If only Luck could perform like that all day. TY Hilton impressed me (again!). I was actually content with Cassius Vaughn today, he may have been better than Vontae. Maths and Freeney were bad. Ballard was good once he found his feet. The entire O-line SUCKED all night. Our run defense was great, very happy with freeman, Connor and Angerer.

First half: Tend not to be great

3rd quarter: Tend to be a little sucky

4 quarter: Incredible

I was checking the game on my phone the whole time.

Honestly, after the Bell run I stopped paying attention to the game.

Then I heard about the Brazil TD & I was like," Well maybe Luck could pull it off."

Saw the last Detroit drive on TV and was baffled at 3 straight run plays by Detroit when their running game was doing nothing.

The last drive I was watching the chat room. I lost my mind when they won.

8-4 after an abysmal 2-14 year? I never would have thought that.

I wouldn't call it a complete Miracle. Great win by the Colts no doubt but in the end the Lions made some key mistakes that really did them in. They had the ball with about four minutes to go up two scores and elected to throw twice and had incomplete passes both times. Had they run there the Colts would have run out of time at the end of the game.

With that said credit to the Colts for pulling one out of the fire. 8-4 and this team is going to the playoffs. An unreal game to go along with what has been an unreal season!

I did a backspin on a hard wood floor if that gives you any idea how crazy excited I was during the last drive of the game.

Does anyone else get that feeling that with Luck at the helm, anything is possible?

I used to have this feeling before with a certain QB..........

Yeah, gotta love Johnny U

Nothing is over until the game clock expires...Focus, concentration, resiliency, & never say die...

Please don't say Chuck Pagano good will had anything to do with this victory either. Thank you. No #ChuckStrong sentiment here, merely solid team execution on the field...

    • Picking it up, guarantees he doesn't walk out the door after next season.   Gives you 2 more years to evaluate. Pretty cheaply too. 2yrs $17.5m.   Don't see any reason to roll the dice, might only get more expensive, if his trajectory keeps going up this year.
    • Declining the option doesnt mean they are letting him walk.  It does happen often when the option is declined but 13.5 is a lot for him   I doubt they will pick it up today   
    • They seemed really high on Goncalves. Obviously they traded up for him, but sometimes in past draft videos, you see Ballard satisfied to make a pick just because he is highest on their board. But with Goncalves, its clear they were really pro-active in in ensure they took him. 
    • Some things that made an impression on me:   - we did try to move up. I wonder for who? Last year Arizona put up a similar video after the draft, I would love to see if they show the Colts calling them for 4 this year...    - we DID meet with Laiatu. Seems like it was at the combine, probably one of those quick 15 minute ones and he probably had tons of them and didn't remember this specific one. I love that as a throwaway question as he was walking out they asked him what he's going to run... he said in the 4.6s ... and he went out and did it. There is something about a prospect who promises something and then hours later goes out and delivers on that promise. Especially in athletic sense since he wasn't one of those prospects that had athleticism as his calling card. On the rest of the video... I like him... he looks like a genuine guy who loves every step of this process and enjoys it. Love how excited Partridge was too... what a vote of confidence for him as a new coach not just on this team but in the league - give him the best pass-rusher in the draft to work with.    - everything in the bit about AD Mitchell was about his talent. "Way too talented to pass up here"... Every single word we got from scouts, coaches, FO members... everything was about his talent. Not a word about the character/attitude stuff. Not one. Now it's obvious to me they probably cut off some of that stuff, but interesting to see what the Colts want to portray about the player. So yeah... with AD it's all about the talent. For whatever it's worth, he looked like a pretty chill dude in the interview they showed. Part of the rumors that were floating around was that his interview with one team was so bad that within the first minute of the interview they knew they wouldn't be drafting him. I guess we will never know what exactly all that was about. In the grand scheme of things... it's all on him now... just like with Stroud, none of the noise will matter if he comes out and works his tail off and shuts up every naysayer in the world.    - Matt Goncalvez seems to be the favorite player of the Colts in this draft. Kind of like Khari was a few years ago. "culture fit" is probably the best descriptor here from the video. They love his personality and they love his attitude. One of the best calls/reactions to getting drafted you will ever see/hear... kind of reminiscent with the Downs one last year. I don't know where exactly he will fit on the field... but he will fit somewhere. They will give him chances... he has all the good will of that coaching staff and that FO.    - Bortolini - impressed in the workout. IMO he will be understudy to Kelly... the new Pinter I guess? Probably won't start right away, but he has clear role IMO.   - They seem very optimistic about Carlies ability to translate to linebacker. Looking at some of those highlights they showed... he does look like EJ Speed or Shaq or Okereke... with his speed in pursuit. They mentioned him potentially covering TEs. I can see it.    - Loved seeing Ballard giving Jamie Moore the chance to make the call to the guy he's been fighting for throughout this whole draft season(Jaylin Simpson). Good gesture by Ballard, bet it was a great feeling for Moore.    - In general I love all those calls and videos of the reactions by the prospects. Seeing young prospects achieve one of the big goals of their lives and starting their paths to even bigger things, is awesome. Love it.    - "That's not a prank call, is it?"          
    • Consensus?  Huh?   I have no idea what that means?   I offered MY opinion.  That’s all.      But I can’t keep up with you.  You just wrote a very long post about how 32 teams have very similar looking Big Boards.   If I had $1 for every time in 13 years I’ve posted that there are 32 teams and 32 completely different looking big boards, I’d be filthy RICH!!     In any given year 32 teams may all agree on the top player, but that the further you get away from the first pick the big boards look very very different.   The exact opposite of what you speculated.  I didn’t agree with one sentence of what you posted here.  You’re entitled to whatever opinion you want but it’s not supported by anything.      I’ve pretty much disagreed with everything you’ve written since the draft started.  But that works to your advantage.  I couldn’t possibly point out all the flaws, so I’ll try to be selective.      Here’s one argument you’ve repeated the last two years.   That Ballard lucked into getting both Woods and Raimann and that he wasn’t even smart enough to realize that Raimann was the better player.  What gets me is that I’ve explained the reasoning to you multiple times and I’ve read other posters explain it to you multiple times.   And we all say the same thing:  That Ballard calculated correctly that because Raimann was 24 and would turn 25 during the season, he stood a better chance of lasting to pick 77 while Woods was taken at 73.   But you keep posting the negative Ballard viewpoint as if NO ONE has explained it to you.  I think it’s both insulting and rude.   It’s what you do when you can’t handle an argument, you just avoid it.  Ballard was smart and right and not only do you not acknowledge it, you try to belittle him every time.    There is sooo much more I could discuss with you but this post is enough.  I’ll be curious if you’ll even respond.
