We'll be back

[CR91]

Hey this was a hell of a ride. This season was no expectations and we go on the road and won a playoff game. This team is built for the future and we'll be back next season that much better. Go colts!!!!!!!!

Next year the AFC playoffs are going through Indy!

Amen brother. I hope this loss burns in Luck's mind and provides some unholy motivation next year. I want to see us tear through opponents. 

[IinD]

Yeah they gave us a fun solid season and got us a playoff win.

 

Would have been tough to essentially win 4 straight on the road (Tenn game +3 playoff).

 

Thankfully not to many huge injuries as well this year. I'm glad about that

Need to get a bye.  Every game is big.

[Maniac]

Genuinely think we ran out of gas this week... 3 games in a row on the road and coming into KC who had a week off.

 

Love the way this team is building.

[coltfaninnewyork]

Our goal is the one seed 

[MPStack]

Way better than I ever expected this season. 

 

The future looks bright for our Colts.

So true.

 

A week off and a game less to play is huge this time of year.

Fun season to watch. Hard not to be disappointed going out like that when we all know they can play better. Incredibly optimistic about the future.

 

Go Colts!

[NewEra]

Hope this lights a fire under their buys and makes them want to come back better than ever. 

[Malakai432]

They definitely exceeded expectations but have a very very long way to go.  Seeing Dallas get owned by the Rams with the exception of a terrible penalty by Talib, the Chiefs, Pats, Chargers, the Steelers will be back, Seattle, Saints, Bears, Eagles, this team needs some serious upgrades to compete.  

 

I hope we can see this start to happen next year but it's going to be extraordinarily tough!  I think they are up for the challenge.

Agreed.  Upsetting now but a lot of pieces in place.

True, but I think the Steelers are going to be a monster next year.  They have James Connor, Ben, Schuster, probably will keep Brown.  After a draft and some potential FA, they're going to be tough.  They'll be back in the championship hunt.  Yes, I hate to say it but they probably will.

They will be be a solid team, but I don't know about a "monster" ... If they lose AB than JJSS will have all the D attention I don't know if he will have the same success.  They don't have a ton of cap room for FA. And their division got is getting tougher .. Cleveland isn't 2 auto W's and the Ravens look like the real deal.

The number one thing we needed to accomplish this season was making sure Andrew Luck was okay.

 

Not only is he healthy, he's had his best season as a pro. Next year, with more weapons, and entire offseason to get better, I think Lucky has an MVP coming up soon...

 

We have the Quarterback. We have the coach. We have young stars to build around. We've shown we can battle and BEAT the good teams in this league (HOU, DAL, TENN), now we gotta take the next step, and beat the elite teams (KC, NO, LAC).

 

Looking at our schedule...we'll have tons of opportunites to do that......

[Kangaroo]

The whole squad can be proud of what was achieved this season.  From being predicted to finish last to reaching 2nd week of the playoffs is an amazing achievement.

 

If it's any consolation, as Andrew Luck fumbled the ball, my first grandchild was born--it's been a huge day for me

[BProland85]

Gotta get pass rush help on the interior (DT) and better WRs brought in to make a better run next year. Also Hooker needs to stay healthy and improve. 

[runthepost]

The Browns could win the North next year. That team has a crazy amount of untapped talent 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We have a crazy hard schedule next year.  Getting back to the playoffs is not guaranteed.

 

I saw where the jags are interested in Flacco. If they get him that makes them ten times better because their d is so good.

True, but they have the draft.  They could definitely draft a WR if they lose AB.  Doesn't mean he's going to be elite or good, but I feel confident they could be a championship caliber team with with Ben, Schu, Conner, (insert WR or FA), Tomlin (coach) and their D.  I honestly think they'll retain Brown.

I already have a migraine thinking about having to play the friggin’ Steelers again. 

 

Much like the Chiefs exorcising their demons today, I hope we can end a very horrid streak. I have been waiting a very long time to see us finally beat them...
