Lawrence Owen Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Luck came back and is playing hurt still,..so i think he'll turn out ok. 300+ yards 3td's, no picks yells improvement over his first 2 games. The o-line is manhandling defenses right now in the run game for the past few weeks. The d-line is playing hard nosed, and the linebackers are playing decent for the most part. Not alot of pass rush today from the lb'ing corp, but that's because the were buisy covering gronk and RB's....and did a pretty darn good job there over all. The DB's started the game badly,...the 1/2 way through the 3rd quarter..they woke up and started playing lights out. they were all over thier assignments...they were the reason NE stopped scoring and kept k\giving Indy chance after chance in the 4th to make something happen. I hope geathers and lowery are alright,...they are big pieces to our defense if we want to keep things going. ( Colt Anderson did make one heck of a tackle on the scfreen play, but um...yeah...accepted a hike at the QB position.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshinator Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Of course you can only beat the teams on your schedule. Fact remains some teams have softer schedules.Yes, like our schedule vs the bills and jets with weak qbs and the whole AFC South already. One tough match out of 6. So you are right, some teams do have softer schedules and we have yet to win a game this year outside the AFC South. This is coming from someone who is optimistic following the game yesterday. Hopefully we can win these upcoming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR91 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'll put it as simply as I can, then. These teams you are ridiculing, both of whom beat us, no less... We are only ahead of them because we play in the AFC South. Without our blankie, the AFC South, both teams would be ahead of us in an AFC wide playoff race. If we had to fight them for a wild card, that is. and Ill put it as simply as I can. their not making the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krunk Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 No I am sorry, I am talking about The pats Olineman who came in after the first quarter. he was the PS guy. (Whose name escapes me lol) so the pats O line was 3 rookies, a PS guy, and Vollmer lolThe Colts D is vastly improved and you guys be in the playoffs easily! That's not just any PS guy. Cameron Fleming has been on that team since last year, and he played a pretty good role in Blount running all over us last year. They didn't just call up some bum with no experience.

CanuckColtsFan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 They beat us. What does that say abouut us? lolBoth teams are ahead of us in the AFC playoff race.The jets and bills are not ahead of us in the AFC playoff race. We are a Div leader. We get a home game against them come the playoffs. Take a look at seatle, they are worse shape than a s and I don't see them getting written off like our own fans are doing to Indy.

#12.

JimJaime Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 That's not just any PS guy. Cameron Fleming has been on that team since last year, and he played a pretty good role in Blount running all over us last year. They didn't just call up some bum with no experience.If he was that good some other team would have snatched him up off the PS. That said he did very well last night.Also to the OP if it makes you feel better the next time you face the Pats (if that happens) the Pats will have our starting Center back in Stork along with the RT Kline, so Brady will have even more time. also Sheard will be back and in the backfield harassing Luck as well. Oh and the secondary will have jelled as Brown replacement will be fully up to speed.. See that make you feel better OP? Also there is Cincy and Denver to deal with. Although Denver worries me less after yesterday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck just coming back (probably still injured) from a shoulder injury didn't help. Apparently, there were some associated with the Colts suffering from brain farts. I don't know that a brain fart is an injury in and of itself, but most likely a side effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Mouth Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 No one gave us a chance to even make this game competitve let alone win and we did keep it competitve for the most part. Im proud of our guys. We played with heart and toughness and for the first time they actually played like their werent scared. like they felt like they could actually win the game.We can't play like this on the road and especially not in Foxboro. 10 penalties, poor play calling and still no real pass rush. Can't beat Brady without a pass rush. I like that Pagano was aggressive. I put the botched punt on the players. Take the delay of game and punt the ball. What I do like is that the Colts have not lost their swagger in what i now a mediocre season. How is that we have such a solid game plan in the 1st half but abandon it in the 2nd half?

MIColtsFan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I agree with everything you said here.

(At home it can work but on the road???) Even though the onside kick worked (Colts recovered, just not awarded the ball), personally, I didn't like the call. But, it certainly would have helped to get the ball as the Colts should have. I don't know about the trickery. The Colts were doing just fine up to that point. It's that "trick" that potentially cost the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Mouth Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Agreed. But the Colts haven't been at their best this entire season.Thats the whole issue. For one half, it was the best 30 minutes the Colts have played this season. Because we could play a 2nd half just as week or better is why we're 3-3.

colts_mp Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We were shutout for 29 minutes in the second half at home and only scored a prevent defense td at that. We will not beat anyone in the playoffs with a second half like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterlock Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I agree, all those high throws were showing signs that his shoulder is still an issue.

IcEWoLF Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Colts have not beaten any teams worth mentioning this year. Luck is still bad vs good teams. Most likely the whole coaching staff is bad at preparing the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbear Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Funny, now we are making excuses for NE? Yes they didn't play their best game, but neither did we. Way too many blown coverages especially. They dropped some balls and we got that on side kick taken away. I've seen Brady better, but same with Luck. Bottom line, we were an onside kick away. I agree with the OP. As of right now, I'm pretty confident we'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
