it was ugly, but

[CR91]

this proves we can win without having to always rely on our offense. big ups to our defense 

[PeterBowman]

Nothing wrong with winning ugly.....still get the win and have lots of teachable moments too

[NewEra]

If our O was clicking we would have destroyed them. Credit that to their D as well. It's still pretty darn good.

Yup.  The more different ways we win games, the more prepared we'll be for whatever gets thrown at us in the playoffs (assuming we make it to the playoffs).

 

Teams that only know how to win one way tend to get exposed in the playoffs.

cant turn the ball over in the red zone

Can't fumble the ball on what should of been a fair catch either. Over all we had our way with them. Just a few plays kept them in the game.

Luck over through the receivers twice in a row. Two picks and Bradshaw fumble. Whalen fumble. You get even two of those back that's a minimum of 6 more points.

[SubZero]

Not every game will be perfect like against the Jags and Ten. We had miscues and our offense sputtered against a top defense. To me this was a great win for the defense. We have a proven offense and to play a defensive game like this then this was a great game to me.

Big ups to Flacco for being that bad as well. I don't know how Ravens can stand seeing that defense play like that and then watch him. Isn't he like the 2 or 3 highest paid QB? smh ...

All those mistakes usually cost you a game especially when you don't score in the red zone. We were fortunate today that really bad Flacco showed up.

I'll take the win, hats off to the defense, Werner stepped up big time, and although the offense was sloppy they still made the plays when they had to to get the win.

[fatboy]

So my biggest fear is lack of pass rush, and what do we do? Produce four sacks on a QB who has only been sacked three tune for the season. Weird.

Yup! Heard a lot about our wins being against poor teams.... Well, now they can shut up!

[Malakai432]

400+ yards against a D that played exceptional, I'll take it. A win is a win and boy did the D show up today.

[SubZero]

Exactly! Now we go to Houston and shut down the talk of them being a threat to us. They beat the Raiders, Redskins, and Bills. Come on now...

[chrisfarley]

when we get a team down, we need to destroy them leaving no way back into the hunt.  that will come with time.  I just hope we get Mewhort back before thursday.... 

[HtownColt]

McPhee had his way with Thornton today

[ruksak]

I was more impressed by the Colts performance in this frustrating, defensive game, than I have been in a long time. 

[ColtStrong]

I don't care if the colts win every game by 1 point. A win is a win.

[The Old Crow]

From a Ravens perspective , we were in the game, but never seemed to be really in the game, if that makes sense. I thought both defenses played well , but I thought both offenses would do better . Very loud at LOS , but friendly fans. I wish the Ravens would have won, but we had chances, and it was a typical tough road loss against a tough opponent .

[ThaCaliColt]

Ugly? One of the best team performances in a long time in my opinion. That was a playoff atmosphere-- two teams playing tough, emotionally charged defensive football, particularly when it mattered the most. You can say what you want about our deficiencies as a team, but this group has belief and perseverence. Just look at the difference between the colts and a team like the Benglas who were mentally unprepared, had no heart or life tonight for virtually the entire game. I mean Cinci is perhaps a more talented roster and truly cannot step to the plate when it matters most. This colts team of the Luck era has fought for 60 minutes since day one.

[Coltswarriors]

Glad to get the win, but we left a TON of points on the board.

 

Glad the defense came to play. One of the better games I've seen them play.
