What's Worse Than 5-3?

[John Waylon]

Just gonna go ahead and get an early start on this one...

What's worse than 5-3?

Our defensive "effort" today. Holy Christ this has been beyond awful.

What's worse than 5-3?

Letting Todd Hayley be successful against us.

What's worse than 5-3?

I don't even know. We have played like liquified % today.

[jvan1973]

Blitzing the entire game and not getting pressure

[John Waylon]

Lol. What's worse than 5-3?

A draw play with under 5 minutes to go, down by 2 scores.

Pep continues to struggle in crunch time.

[James Harden]

At least we got our most embarrassing lost of the season out of the way early. Time to learn from mistakes and move forward!

[MTC]

Manusky and Pagano's defense. 

[cmgww]

Well...being the Jets, Raiders...otherwise today not much. I think we missed TRich in pass protection a lot, and Wayne not playing did make a difference on offense. Nicks just isn't the answer.

Lol it can happen more than once remember last year? Rams Cardinals Bengals Pats ?

[John Waylon]

What's worse than 5-3?

Sucking against the pretty terrible Pittsburgh secondary.

[cmgww]

Hey, almost every team in the league has one of these games a season. The Pats got whooped by KC and they've turned it around. Remember last year against the Chargers and RAMS?? And we still made it to the divisional round in the playoffs. Bad games happen. Sucks...but that's the NFL

[SLILLINGTON10]

going from one of the best defensive performances in colts history (against a top 5 offense) to getting blown out be an average team all in a weeks time span.

[sfergson727]

We are.  This team will be lucky to win 9 games this season.

[austriancolt]

Sucking in game preparation

 

Sucking in Pass Protection (Cherilus again was terrible)

 

Sucking on Defense BIG BIG BIG BIG Times after a blowout last week and absolutely having no quality depth on the secondary!

[Mr.Debonair]

Getting embarrassed. D-Line and O-Ine stayed in Indy

[ruksak]

Butt-safety 

[runthepost]

Giving up 640 yards

[Drew1023]

Realizing how horrible  and pathetic this team really is and that its artificial 5-3 record is only due to their easy schedule.

[jvan1973]

The ridiculous over reaction on this forum after a loss

[RockThatBlue]

Our defense and offensive line

[ricker182]

2nd toughest in the Afc..... Yeah real easy.

[Mr.Debonair]

The ridiculous over reaction on this forum after a loss

A loss is a loss. Can't win them all but to get embarrassed like today isn't just something to shrug off

[chad hugo]

coming to the forum on monday and seeing overblown and over exaggerated threads about how we suck 

[adamthyst]

 

I'll just leave this here.

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a Denver fan.

This guy is definitely worse than 5-3.. 

[Moose Of Woe]

Oakland. There's always Oakland.

We have a term in the wrestling business for days like today:

The drizzling %s. And that exactly what it was.

[azcolt]

Did anyone believe last week was this team's new norm? Probably not and the same thing applies tonight. Unless injuries linger, this slaughter could serve as a much needed reminder to the team that they aren't good enough to just show up and expect to win. The next game should be interesting, a true gut check.

WORD FILTER. Knowing this forum, the word you probably tried to type was "Johnson"

 

EDIT: Wow, "Johnson" isn't in this kids fan-forum's word filter. Admin should get on that right away, just in case a 5 year old sees it. How can we be G rated with words like "Johnson" slipping by?

This. I'm not even sure today isn't worse than the 2006 season farce in Jacksonville.

[Captain Americolt]

Seeing in the next couple of days the extreme over exaggerating threads 

[Mr.Debonair]

Watching James Harrison abuse our linemen, he was just sitting on the couch not too long ago

[JColts72]

Is it a record how much we gave up on defense in Colts History?

[ricker182]

I'll just leave this here.

. See you messed up starting the Bears defense. Wth were you thinking?

[colts8718]

I  think HOUSTON is going to win the division anyway there schedule is easier we have the Pats, cowboys, Giants Its for the best nobody is getting past Denver . Everyone got excited about our D we just happened to meet teams at the right time. I have never liked Pagano or Grigson and always felt they would never get us to a SB there both overrated. There will be games like this but our D is not good average at best another wasted season

I gotta feel like Davis could've made a huge difference. Just one play from him could've changed everything. 

 

I'm curious to see what the talk is about that safety. Not only was the ball actually out of the endzone, but it got tipped, I believe. 

[GoColts8818]

The secondary without Davis. Vonte Davis should be MVP after seeing the secondary without him.

[ColtsFan1976]

Still have the Patriots and at the Cowboys.  Yeah.  The Colts will probably go 11-5 and get bounced.  The secondary was really exposed as well as the whole team.  Colts need to build a better bench. 

[krunk]

I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said.  But I will now say Hakeem Nicks is useless, might as well bench him and go with Whalen and Moncrief.

[JColts72]

_{Giving up 6 TDs in the air}

[Mr.Debonair]

Agree he has lost all his speed and quickness. Other than occupying a defender on the field, he brings NOTHING
