Can the Colts win a game?

[jim scheurich]

I'm tired of making excuses. Time to man up. At some point in time you have to go out and prove to yourself you can do it. I think that time has come for the entire franchise.

[BOTT]

Don't they try to do that every Sunday?

[2006Coltsbestever]

I doubt we go 0-16 but maybe we cant win a game?? LOL

[TDewar1987]

Another one of these threads?

[OLD FAN MAN]

they can win a game even with their poor talent level if,

1. they can stop the run

2.run the ball

3.protect luck

4.pressure the qb

5. linebackers can stop the short pass.

6.we complete the short pass "catch and run"

[buccolts]

Stop making excuses then. Sheesh!

I think this thread should be closed.

 

I find it beyond insulting.

 

This question is asked after one game.      One.

 

Of all the threads that get locked up here,   here's one that should be easy.

 

Respectfully,  I submit it should be Locked.

I agree, this Thread is comical! We will win Sunday and that will shut the naysayers up! I also think Texans will lose to the Chiefs.

Honestly.....       I'm expecting us to lose Sunday.

 

But all that means is that we're 0-2 for the 3rd straight year.

 

We started 0-2 last year and we started 0-2 in 2014 and that year we won 11 games,  won the South and went to the AFC Championship.

 

So,   I'm not worried about starting 0-2.

 

But threads like this I think make it harder on everyone else to enjoy the website.    

 

They don't help,  they hurt the fan experience.

 

[Track Guy]

Yes. I'm pretty sure we're not gonna go 0-16.

Point well taken, I agree but I think we will win. You will be pleasantly surprised come Sunday. I had the Jets winning tonight so off to a good start. Decker is on my Fantasy team and he is putting up huge numbers. I have Luck as my QB and won last week too.

They have a 51% chance in the 4th game of the season, against da Bears. 

[gacoop1]

I would say a good chance of a 2 win season judging with their schedule.  The other winnable game i can see is the last game of the season with the Jaguars playing at home.  Can we say 2-14 and 2nd pick in the 2017 NFL draft......

"We're doomed. We'll never make it!"

 

Who needs to watch the news with all the negativity on this board.

As horrible as that would be it would guarantee numb nuts Grigson fired and Pagano too plus a shot at a fantastic pass rusher 

[FanFromtheWasteland]

It would be great if all the outspoken pessimists are as passionate about stuff that really matters

[Jackie Daytona]

If they managed to go 2-14, they'd have the 1st pick..... ya'll need to calm yer *

[NorthernBlue]

I swear it better be pretty DANG cheery up in here after the colts win a game. I don't even care if it's manufactured happiness, because after all the negativity, any sort of happiness would be suffice

I usually like the OP but this is not one of your better threads. Almost sounds like you're trolling.

How can we go winless? 

We're Building the Monster, right? Lol.

Fixed it for you

[HungarianColtsFan]

Well, Colts lost last season Andrew (and 3 more QBs) still managed win 8 games, so I don't see any reason to doubt our Colts can pull out 1 win this season with Andrew.

I was just generalizing "win a game". Colts will win some games this year. After one game I see a lot of the same thing as last year. Cant stop the run. Cant run the ball cause they are 20 pts. behind. Weak overall on Defense. Truth hurts, but accurate.

[King Colt]

Since James the Colts have not had a running game so the question is, why not? Please, no one reply with an Adai argument as he sucked as well. Go back years and try to find a defense, there is not one. So the GM nd owner must not give a ####. How else would anyone explain this very long drought?

[UKColt13]

You ask this after one game. A game where we lost a squeaker against a solid team who are on form. When we also had about half of our starting defense injured. And the offense largely performed better than I've seen them perform in a long time.

 

Okaaaay...

 

I still refuse to see game 1 as a bad game. We played well and went down valiantly.

Did you even watch the game?! wasn't a problem stopping the run, it was the quick passes to the RBs and missed tackling. A lot of missed tackles. 

[Coltfreak]

There should be a forum where dumb threads can go and die peacefully 

[WarGhost21]

If we are going to win, we better make the playoffs. If not, we should lose all 16 for a top pick in the draft. In other words, Playoffs or Bust.

Yup we need to tackle and keep yac down. And keep blocking for luck

I'm tired of self entitled fans who add nothing to the discussion, but you don't see me starting threads about it.

[theanarchist]

Yes! The colts will win a game. Like Joe Namath, I guarantee it. Im not happy with the result from Sunday either but I also know too that the coaching staff is essentially new and that the defense has been devastated by injury. We'll see how I feel in 6 weeks.

Addai definitely didn't suck, Couch QB

[Nostrils]

... and all these people that think they know it all, that think the Colts should win every down in every game, that always have something to say so passionately about players or the team and act like it's just sooooooo easy to win...

 

i would love to see a picture of them, watch them run, watch them throw a ball & watch them catch, and I feel like that would answer so much for me as to why they think and act like they do.

For one thing Addai did not suck. He wasn't ask to be a ground pounder. His job was to block for Manning and catch passes out of the backfield. That is something he did very well.

If you think Irsay and or Grigson don't care then you have a very poor perspective of reality.
