AFC South Champions 2013

[Smonroe]

Just trying to put a positive spin on things, but thanks for your concern.

 

You may want to look up the meaning of 'positive'.  But you're welcome anyway.

1st part of the job done. Now let's see if we can get a little better in the coming weeks. Too all the whining babies on here, go and ask mummy for a munch bunch and clear off.

Jules you are not allowed to be happy on here, remember this is a terrible team and it was sheer luck they made the playoffs, dark times my friend, dark times. 50 Shades of Dark, dark times........

Looks like we will probably get Kansas City in the playoffs.  Ouch!!!!!

 

Possible back-to-back games against Kansas City.

 

Oops.  Forgot about the Jags!

Doesn't feel right.... But we'll take it.

 

WE HAVE TO GET IT TOGETHER IN THE PLAYOFFS.

You're forgetting Jacksonville.

Won't be back to back. We play Jags last game of the year.

I guess I don't understand the beatdown of the coaches today.  Man for Man, the Bengals are better than us.  Dalton has 5 very big and fast targets to throw to, they have a big o-line, and a very good defense.  I expected the Bengals to win.

 

But one positive I see is the emergence of Da'Rick and LeVon.  I think the biggest reason the Colts start slow is Luck has nobody to throw to.  I expect a more aggressive offense going forward.

[ruksak]

Champions by default   

[CR91]

Congrats to the colts. Its looking like the chiefs in the first round then most likely Denver. Luck manning 2

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Big deal, a poor team in a poor division,playing poor.....anybody is a # or * to think everything is magically going to turn around on on field play. 8-8 is what we will be and dont bring up giants n ravens cuz they were playing alot better than us down the stretch.

[Warhorse]

You're right.  I'm sure you're getting tired of complaining about our team, it has to be tiring for you.

 

The Bengals are pretty close to Indy.  They'd welcome you as a fan.

What good does it do to have someone on ignore if you go and quote them? ;)

 

36 and counting!

[ConBro]

We don't deserve it pags stink pep stinks manusky stinks , I hope this doesnt save thier jobs

We beat San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and are currently 4-0 in the AFC South. But we "don't deserve it".

 

 

 

 

 

M'kay.

[basketballsteve]

Yea now win the next three and play Rogers, Brazile, and McNary.

[bap1331]

we still had to win some games and we did, however, we when down hill fast

Oh Yea and you suppose that none of those coaches had to do anything with our first half of the season.

Injuries are killing us. Admit it

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Sure.

It's not like we backed into the playoffs, you can't back into the playoffs in week 13. Really, we're in the playoffs because we swept Tennessee. The actual clinching today was pretty much a formality.

We are also in the playoffs because we beat  the 2 current #1 seeds and also San Fran

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

For all the so called fans that are moaning, go support one of the 20 teams that wont make the playoffs

Sorry about that!  Misery loves company.  Join me!

[GoColts8818]

Again, think back to the Saints game during the 2011 season.  If during that game someone told there was no way to get around the Colts cutting Peyton Manning it was going to happen but they would make the playoffs the next two seasons and win the division the second one I think just about everyone would have signed up for it in a heart beat. 

 

Think back to last year and our goal was for the team to win the division this year to the point that fans of other teams scoffed at the idea it could happen. 

 

So winning the division is a major milestone. 

 

I keep saying I look at any winning the Colts do threw really next year as an added bonus.  Despite what people will say this wasn't the plan for the Colts to be this good this soon.  Had it been Manning would have been kept.  Even Irsay said himself a couple of weeks ago he didn't think the Colts would be this good this soon. 

 

So we are going to the playoffs and getting a home game, enjoy it.  Anything can happen in the playoffs.  If the Colts receivers make strides like they did today and the defense comes around a little bit anything could happen.  Sure it's not likely but hey that's why we love the NFL so much crazy stuff happens all the time.  Worst case we go one and done and Luck gets to chalk a little more experience under his belt with the rest of the young guys.  That can only help us for the future.   

[Andy]

Hey, the Colts beat the Broncos, 49ers and Seahawks. 

 

They definitely deserved this division!

[T Y Goodbye]

But..But..According to many posters here..We have a cross between Jerry Rice and Megtron in Rogers...How can this be that we are SOOOOO Bad?...

 

:facepalm:

[Ja'Crispy]

Wish we had done it ourselves today, but we are champs either way!

 

EDIT: This may be a more appropriate celebration given the current state of affairs

 

[GoColts8818]

Some from the joke point of view...

 

We cut Peyton Manning and we still need him to get into the playoffs...

[Johnny Bui]

Yea it was an ugly division win, but majority voted for us to be one and done, so no surprise.

[BPM_Colt]

thats on grigson 99% of the guys hurt had a history of injurys so u cant blame who smh

What is Ballards injury history?? How about Allen??

 

& oh, how about Reggie?

[FirePepHamilton]

I can't feel that posative, i think this team has done an absolutely horrible job of overpaying for poor players, wasting a 1st round pick on a running back and hiring a guy who is out of his depth as an NFL OC.

 

Take out Luck and this is one of the worst teams in the NFL, that's just the reality, this is just the same old soft Colts with a horrible defense who can't run the ball the coaching staff just haven't accepted it yet.

 

Apart from lucking into a good talent at QB most of the other decisions made in personnel and hiring of staff have been downright poor.

[BPM_Colt]

So many whiners on this forum. Go crawl to Denver and don't come back when 18 hangs up the cleats

[Devildog]

We don't deserve it pags stink pep stinks manusky stinks , I hope this doesnt save thier jobs

 

I totally agree with everything you said. This team is just not good with these coaches.

[Devildog]

I guess you made it there first.

[GoColts8818]

Well without them we were 2-14 with them we have made the playoffs two years in a row (minus Pep for a year of it) and won the division the second year when despite what they are calling it they are making over the roster with some major injuries that for some reason our fans refuse to acknowledge. 

[jbaron04]

reggie torn acl college, allen foot problems since college

[BPM_Colt]

I guess you made it there first.

Nope. Been a Colts fan my whole life and don't plan on going anywhere

[House]

It is comforting to know that only our losses count. And that despite winning 8 games against extremely tough competition, we are only defined by the last 4 weeks.

[GoColts8818]

reggie torn acl college, allen foot problems since college

So Reggie plays a nearly injury free NFL career to this point for what 13 years and he tears his ACL on a freak play and I am supposed to believe he's injury prone?  Give me a break he was the NFL ironman at WR going into that game.  He hadn't missed so much as a game since the "playoffs game" by Mora he was anything but injury prone. 

[cmgww]

ballard , allen and wayne all had college injurys last yr allen was dealing with foot injurys etc....90% is more accurate

 

Wayne hadn't missed a game since 2001 until Denver....try again pal

[sfergson727]

Okay, all negativity aside, a deep, heartfelt congrats to the Colts for winning the division. We need a string of banners in LOS that rivals the Manning years. Today is step one.

Step two we hang wildcard banners too.  I kinda wish we didn't but oh well. 

[sfergson727]

Here's to step two....Cheers!

[GoColts8818]

Here's to step two....Cheers!

In all seriousness being in the playoffs for the second straight year after 2-14 and gutting the roster is a major accomplishment. 

 

At least we are the good team in the bad division than being the bad teams in the bad division.
