1/8 Of The Season Is Gone

[OLD FAN MAN]

1/8 of this season is gone, and the coaches and players say we are improving. is this team with this system going to make the playoffs or is the season gone? if it is gone why not rebuild and make changes and be ready for next year? how much can we improve to contend with all of our weak spots?

a) You play till you're mathematically eliminated. That's what ALL sports teams do.

b) you don't rebuild in the season. You do so in the offseason

I don't think you're mathematically eliminated yet.

Get out of that dark corner.

Go rent a good comedy.

we dont do a good job of rebuilding in the offseason, the future is now

Im not a math professor... but i think he's right... The colts will make the changes, coach caldwell knows the team needs to improve no one needs to tell him that and i think if this team keeps losing you will see another side of caldwell, someone can only be so humble till they reach a certain point.

1/8 of the season is gone. 7/8 of the season still remains. It's not over until the overly obese female serenades.

I think your right on about Caldwell and seeing a side of him we haven't seen before. I'm hoping he will change and quit making excuses down the road. I guess time will tell.

dude we don't even have a small chance going to playoff.. we should have won against the browns if we should at least get 1 win this season, didn't happen.. I say we go 0-16

[indy_nick]

The season isn't gone, but it's hard not to feel like it is. We have been spoiled by all of the 12 win seasons we have had in the past...

[GoPats]

Houston looks good so far but things happen... injuries, etc. Plus they have yet to "prove" that they can sustain a high level of play for an entire season.

And the AFC South, on the whole, is not a strong division this year.

If the Colts can somehow manage to be .500 if and when Manning comes back, there's always a chance they take the division and get into the playoffs.

This team isnt going to the playoffs... We may be able to beat Kansas City... Thats one win... I have come to terms with that... Hopefully they can get the oline troubles figured out before next season

If we beat Pittsburgh..our outlook changes dramatically

Give it 2 more weeks...jVan....

If we are 2-3 after 5 weeks,...we are still alive

I agree....Nobody thought Tennesse would beat Baltimore..

I dont think we're a a 10 1/2 point underdog against Pittsburgh.

They are not a big time offensive team...,

[GoDeep]

Dude. We are not going to the playoffs this year.

Im not going to proclaim the season over as of yet but im very annoyed to say the least. These next few games are going to be very telling. If we can improve our 3rd down conversion and Collins stops holding on to the ball for 6 seconds we can go 9-7 and hopefully be a wild card team.

[Andy]

1/8 is not that much, we have 7/8s left. Start bashing the coaches if 1/3 of the season is gone.

Plus they have yet to "prove" that they can sustain a high level of play for an entire season.

The issue is that Houston does not have to sustain a high level of play. For Houston (or the titans or the Jags, for that matter) to beat us out of a playoff spot, they most only play average. It is obvious that we will have trouble getting 3+ wins if we could barely compete with the Browns, one of the worst teams in the league.

I think the homerism of many Colts fans will slowly dilute over the next few weeks as our offense will slowly appear to get in more sync but we still lose each game we play. It will be intersting to see the Kansas City game. that is our chance

[oldunclemark]

j..

Shouldnt fans be homers?

[Smitto]

i dont think caldwell makes any excuses, he has said that he himself needs to get better and so does the team.. now how he goes about that may not be to our liking but he is stating the fact that things do not look good and ppl need to step up.
