I'm kind of glad Luck has to beat Manning and Brady to get to the Superbowl. He does that and it shuts EVERYBODY up.

I just don't want to see Brady get another ring. Pats fans won't shut up about the 3 he won a decade ago. Imagine what would happen if he got another one.

Don't worry about it. If we got by Denver I would savor being in the title game as long as possible.

 

Besides, I did not like the odds of both Brady/Manning going down in a 24 hour period. Our odds seem better to me now that Brady won.

 

I did not think two AFC upsets would happen. We are a bigger underdog then Baltimore was likely and we got a time slot in divisional weekend too that often has had upsets over the years.

Flacco is dumb. 1:39 left and he throws a deep ball for a td on 2 and 5. He had plenty of time to run and do short passes to run out the clock. Not give brady another chance.

worst decision ever and he threw an int on a similiar play earlier in game. I hope Luck doesn't do that.

I was thinking that as well.

 

I believe the Colts are going to upset Denver tomorrow.  We are going to Foxboro where our season will likely end.  However, while I still don't like our chances against New England...as a fan I want to go there now.  I am getting tired of all this talk about them wanting to face the Colts.  The Pats think the Colts are chumps...and will just roll over in Foxboro.  Sometimes the only way to go down is to face down the bully, stand there and punch them back in the mouth.  May not win the fight but there is confidence to be gained.  Baltimore did not fear going there.  Neither should the Colts.  I don't feel that New England respects this Colts team.  We have given them no reason to thus far in the Luck-era?  But if they become too overconfident and arrogant...well stranger things have happened. But first things first...gotta deal with faithful #18.

The pats are always cocky doesn't matter who they face.

As much as I'd hate to hear all the "Wilson has 2 rings, Luck has none" discussion, I'd hate the "BRADY IS GOAT BLAH BLAH BLAH WE WON WE'RE GREAT" crap pats fans would say more. Go Hawks I guess. But first and foremost, Go Colts and beat Denver.

But we lost all non 1pm games except against the Texans

they blew the game. 2nd and 5 and you go deep instead of picking up the first down

Flacco took a shot.  Personally...I like his gumption to step outside of convention at that spot in hopes of catching them off guard.  Unfortunately the Pats secondary came up with a big play.  It happens.

As much as I want the Colts to win tomorrow, I'd much rather lose to Denver than New England.

This is a ridiculous post. At least if we lose to New England we made it to the AFC Championship. Sure, maybe Manning could beat the Pats and them getting out would be a win if that's what you mean, but I want this win over Denver. Even if we can beat Denver and lose a close one to New England, that's a massive improvement. A win over Denver would be huge for the Colts and Andrew Luck.

His shot was into triple coverage.

it was a terrible play. He throw an int on a similar play earlier. All he had to do was take what the defense gave him.

The slim chance we had of making it to the Super Bowl just went out the window with that Flacco pick.

Can't count on someone else to fight their battles.  If this team wants to go to the Super Bowl...gonna have to throw down with the big boys...no fear.  Nothing to lose...respect to gain.

Absolutely. We got lucky facing the Bengals in the wild card round, can't get a guaranteed win every round. No home field advantage against the Ravens sucks, but we need 2 wins. That's possible if Luck plays lights out and has two great games. Our O-Line looks better and we have very few injuries. It's possible.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by nothing to lose.  If the Colts lose don't they lose out on a chance to go to the Super Bowl or is there something I am missing?

Yes AGREED.  Don't need anything to be handed to us on a silver platter.  If the team is truly worthy...they will rise up and take it regardless of who they have to play. 

 

Based on today's result, some are acting like we now suddenly have to beat two teams tomorrow.   We are facing the Broncos.  Let's see if we can get by them and then worry about going to Foxboro when/if that time comes.  One game at a time.

This is true.  But who really expects them to go to the Super Bowl...outside of a few hopeful Colts fans?  To the outside world, if they beat Denver tomorrow and reach the AFC Championship they would have overachieved and taken a significant step over last year.  They win tomorrow, they are going to Foxboro with house money in my opinion.  Hopefully they'll play like it if it comes to that.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
