Was last week not so much of a big win?

[indyagent17]

Tennessee is manhandling Green Bay right now so the question is that is Green Bay not as good as we thought they were?

[Creekside]

I just think we're seeing the AFC South, one of the better divisions in the NFL, flex its muscles.

[SteelCityColt]

It was a W, that's the main thing. 

[Jules]

No GB isn't that amazing it seems, but it was a big win for the Colts since it was a NEEDED win on the road to save our butts if we had any chance really to regroup before the bye.

[James]

You really needed a Tennessee win vs Green Bay to come to that conclusion?

 

The Packers have been unimpressive for some time now. A lot of people on this board knew that, but it was almost impossible to get through to all the Colts fans who were high on that "big time win against a quality team like the Packers".

[PeterBowman]

Colts did it @ Green Bay at least.

[indyagent17]

James, merely a  conversational topic. It's just that one has to wonder how good Green Bay is and that WAS my point

[NorthernBlue]

Well even if it wasn't, wouldn't beating Tennessee (for the second time) next week count as a big win? Considering they're manhandling Green Bay....

A much needed W.

Should be an interesting game for sure. We need to beat them.

[BOTT]

It was a nice win for a bad team

It was a good win for Colts putting up the most complete performance of the season, O, D, ST, all worked well.

No, that's crazy....WE needed it on the road and we got it

They are who we thought they were.  Now,  do we want them to be more then they are and we think they aren't what we need them to be?  

 

This question is what this team needs to answer next week

[oldunclemark]

every team is different from week to week..that's what we dont understand

[azcolt]

Every team is different each week -- and hopefully the Colts catch them all on their very worst days since the Colts are a bad team and need all the help they can get from every opponent.

GB isn't what they have been obviously.  Then again, neither are the Colts.  For them to go into Lambeau and get a win is a big deal, no matter the circumstances.  It's been a while.

[deedub75]

It's easy to see why Colts had their best game of the season.

Peyton never win at Green bay

[Coltsman1788]

Last week was a big win in that it was a much needed one. Not sure how impressive it was though since they had to hold on to beat a subpar Green Bay while the Titans steamrolled that same team. This is some needed perspective to temper our expectations down the stretch. The Colts still have a long way to go before they can be considered a good football team.

The Packers are pretty much the Colts of the NFC.  Struggling franchise QB with little else around him and a porous defense.  It's like looking in a mirror.

They were better. Luck has never beaten the steelers or Patriots. We can play that game too.

[Coltfreak]

It would have looked like a bigger loss after seeing what happened to them today  if we hadnt won

Luck has only played the Steelers once

[RollerColt]

Comparing our win to the Titans win is folly. Middle of the pack teams like ourselves and Tennessee are notorious for showing up and exploding every other week. 

 

The same Titans team could end up either scoring 50 on us, or only 6. The entire team from the defense to the QB is Jekyll and Hyde. 

 

That, is the definition of our entire division to be honest.

Once could even argue we might have a better roster

[Mr.Debonair]

Need to put multiple wins together as oppose to getting excited over one win

[pgt_rob]

Colts beat a crappy team on the road. Good to get the win, though.

[krunk]

I'm not going to diminish our win at all.   We could have went up there and folded like the "Bad Team" people keep trying to say we are.  That's what a bad team does they fold when they need to get over the hump.   We didn't fold so it was a good win.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Big win because we put together a complete performance on all sides of the ball. You just need to build on that, and not back slide into inconsistency. 

[OffensivelyPC]

Of course.  There's still a chance we could make the playoffs.  Anything that keeps that alive is a big win.

Anytime you go into GB against a QB named Rogers it is a big day and a big win IMO!!!  

[lollygagger8]

I'm glad we pulled out the win, but Green Bay isn't very good this year.

A big win in the sense that it keeps Grigson and Pagano around. 

[BullsColtsFan1]

Anytime you win at Green Bay, it's a good win.  An NFL writer wrote an article before the Colts Packers game and said that the winner could change their season around and the loser would go down hill.  He could be right, all though the Colts still have work to do and the NFC North is pretty weak.  Minnesota isn't the same team, Chicago's out of it and Detroit's leading but not by much. 

[GoColts8818]

Yes because of how the Colts played.  That looked like the team we expected to see this year.  Something we can't say about any other game this year, even the games they won.  

 

The Packers might not be great this year but it doesn't change the fact the Colts played well and gives us all a reason for hope going into the back half of the schedule.

[coltsfan77]

Green bay is not a power like they were, but the Colts actually looked as they were game ready and played for 4 qtrs for the first time this season. Best all around playing this far. Not saying the clouds have parted by no means, but gives Me some hope for this season.
