Archangel Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 if we can get healthy by the time we play the jets we can possibly get to 4 and 4 heading into the bye, the schedule looks favorable and the team has fight in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lance_m8 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 3-5 is okay but 4-4 could change our season drastically we haven't even got to play the jags or titans yet those are the money games this team will be insane in a year or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunk Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Im just looking to the next game. We have to play cleaner ball games more consistently for me to get comfortable with the idea of 4-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernBlue Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It sucks and losing to the Pats sucks but I mean come on. It was comical going into it with how many guys we were missing. Time to get healthy. This right here was the toughest part of the schedule. Now it gets easier. Let's start with getting healthy. Then lets move on to the Jets. One game at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamMo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 You know it’s bad when the national commentators talk about how beat up our team is and at halftime mentioned Colts are in “survival mode” going into the second half. It was THAT ridiculous. Hope the team has a restful mini-bye, because no win is going to come easy. But, I believe we’ll still end 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsman1788 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 A real opportunity for this team to rip off 3 in a row if they can eliminate the stupid mistakes that are the reason why this team is 1-4 instead of 3-1-1 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibby43 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Too many injuries. And things got worse on the injury front tonight. Never seen anything like it. Pains me to type this.

NewColtsFan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The next THREE WEEKS is the KEY part of our schedule. If this season has a shot at 8-8 (my prediction) or better (the view of some here) then we have to make our move right now. The guys get a few days to rest up... And then we face the Jets IN New York. We host Buffalo. We face the Raiders IN Oakland. In a perfect world, with some good health, we could win all three. We certainly would like to win two, but three is doable. Do that, and we're 4-4 at the bye week. If you're a serious Colts fan, the next three weeks are going to be very telling toward how the 2018 season will look when it's all over.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerColt Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have bad memories of this team playing the Jets and Bills. Can't discount any of the teams we are facing. Jets have a young QB who can make mistakes but also carry his team to victories. The Bills have a QB who is a roller coaster that can either lose the game or win in big fashion (Vikings game). The Raiders could be sitting at 1-6 by the time we face them, so they'll be very desperate to win another game for skipper Gruden. If we play COMPLETE games with few mistakes, we win all three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunk Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 i hope we can pull 4-4 off. I would just love to be able to get in the playoffs somehow this year. I want to play the Pats again with our full squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#12. Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Even if we somehow got to 9 wins, getting to the playoffs might be tough. - Gave away the tie. That alone might be decisive. - Lost to the Bengals. Good chance we would be competing against them for a spot. - Already have 3 AFC losses. Only win is NFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Lots of optimism here. Gotta love that. It would be great to be 4-4, but realistically I don't think this is a team that can knock off 3 wins in a row. The playoff talk is a bit crazy in my opinion. Getting ove .500 is going to be a challenge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's not a three game winning streak so much as it is being better than the other guys. I'd like to think they're better than the Jets, Bills and Faiders, but I dunno. As other have said, they have to clean up here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard pallo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If we can get somewhat healthy and get to 4-4 and acquire Bell by the deadline I think we make the playoffs. No Bell 8-8 at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacergeek Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Next 3 teams all stink. If Reich cannot find a way to win all 3 games, he should be getting some serious heat.

King Colt Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Tough to criticize a team with so many injured players. How do you say how good/bad they are until they get a full staff. How do you coach a team with the second stringers playing? Even with the stragglers the Colts are going down fighting, so what does that say about the coach? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 7-9 you're not going anywhere anyway, but it's enough to keep you out of the top five draft picks. If you're gonna suck, at least suck big, root for Arizona, and shoot for that #1 pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top 5 pick doesn't guarantee you will get a great player. Unless you need a QB, drafting in the Top 5 is a crapshoot and then that still is. We drafted Leonard in the 2nd Round for example, Nelson went 6th overall. Although Leonard and Chubb don't play the same position, Leonard has been clearly the better player so far. Almost everyone in here was doubting Leonard when we picked him and thought Chubb was the 2nd coming of Reggie White (Chubb still may be but Leonard is playing like a Top 5 pick right now). With having Andrew Luck as our QB I really don't care where we Draft as long as we have at least 7 picks and a pick in each round. We picked Hooker at 15 too.

[snip] It doesn't guarantee that you'll get a great player, but you'll sure get some interesting offers from some QB-hungry teams. Depending on the desperation level of your trading partner you could wind up with quite a haul. But even a QB isn't a guaranteed success. You might get a Peyton Manning or an Andrew Luck, or you might get a Ryan Leaf or a Jamarcus Russell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosejawcolt Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I listen to the NFL Ringer on podcast and Lombardi is a regular; I enjoy his feedback. He is not always right but at least he gives solid reasons for wat he believes in. He was actually impressed with how the Colts played. Says the Colts have a bright future. He said it will just take a couple of drafts to get from under Grigson's legacy of poor drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time in my 35 years as a fan that I can remember wanting us to lose was in 2011 once we got to 0-8. Once we got to 0-8, I knew the seasons was over and Andrew Luck was there waiting at #1. Just a rare circumstance for me because I am not a tank guy. Even in 1997 when were 0-10 I wasn't even thinking about tanking or the chances of getting Peyton. I guess because Luck was talked about so much and social media has become so big over the last 10 years I was aware of how Great Luck would be. Luck still has the potential to be a great Pro. He's actually had a Good career so far, Good record and Good Stats. I think moving forward we are in solid hands with him. He played Great last night in reality.

Tennessee is ok but beatable as well - they are not close to Great. Dolphins are 3-1 but just got blitzed by the Pats 38-7 and Tannehill is MEH IMO. Every team we play over the next month and a half is beatable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
