Sad that JT lost the streak, but what a gutsy effort by our guys! I love this team! Go Colts!

Yet they are still losing.... And it's not the protocols fault, everyone has the same rules.

They can't challenge anyway.

 

Way to battle through it. Got punched in the mouth before game and you take the win.

They need 2 scores, they had to get at least 1 of them to have a shot.

Yeah. But why kick on 3rd down?  You’re down there that deep. Give your QB another chance to get the TD.  What’s another 5 seconds off the clock at that point?

Victory formation, aka "church mode"!

 

Was it a good game? I just got home right before that onside kick. 

 

Congrats on the win!

Now, players and staff: put on your masks and stay away from sick people...

[SurfinKal]

Incredibly gutsy win! Im glad Frank doesnt listen to me, i wanted to pull Wentz in the 3rd; my emotions were raging. Glad to eat crow. Go Colts!

[a06cc]

Still have two more to go! We need to win out. Anything could happen giving us a few home playoff games. 

[richard pallo]

Wentz to Patmon.  CLUTCH!!

Yeah get the three and then onside kick to score a TD. It’s not a bad strategy honestly.

But why on 3rd down?  You’re in the red zone. Take another shot at the 6. What’s 5 more seconds off the clock at that point?

I thought the same thing.   Kick the FG on 4th down.

Not as enjoyable as beating the Patriots but extremely satisfying. Merry Xmas to my northern hemisphere colts friends

Yeah, timeout too.   Even if Murray scrambled and came up short they could have stopped the clock and kicked the FG on 4th.. but a much better chance at the TD there than after the onside kick.

I’m happy they kicked it on 3rd. They get the score there and they get hyped up. Might’ve got the onside.

With all those guys out, I was worried. I'm happy for you all. 

[Tore]

Wow! That was special under the circumstances.

 

Kudos to the whole team for not giving up and grinding out the win.

 

Extremely proud of Reich and the players and coaches. This team does not quit!

 

5.25 am here, but I'll gladly suffer tiredness tomorrow on the back of another huge Colts win!!

You know that Wentz throw to Patmon while getting blasted in the face is gonna look beautiful on Hard Knocks.

This was my first Game Day thread I have participated in since my return from my random break… and I am so happy it was a CHRISTMAS WIN!! Thanks to all of you guys and this forum for existing… it felt so good to be back “home” talking with my fellow Colts fans. COLTS FOREVER! 

Good night everyone!

Geesh. That was an amazing win

Another thing I love about this win is that it keeps the pressure on Tennessee to keep winning, or else they could lose the divisional title to us!

Good game, yes. I real nail biter. The defense really stepped up with their leader out & our makeshift offensive line held up well enough for Carson to pull out the miracle.   Plus JT got his 100+ yards. Unfortunately he didn't find the end zone tonight.

 

We'll take the win, ugly or not.

 

Merry Christmas NFLFan & all the fans on this site.

[holeymoley99]

Speed was flying, Odum looked solid all night, Addae forced the safety, Paye applied pressure, Day also applied pressure,,,,,complete effort

[Gramz]

I sometimes have a hard time watching the games and simultaneously communicating on here due to all the negative Nancy's here.

 

Tonight our team won with half the OL missing. 

 

Kudos Guys!  Keep it up!

 

 

 

[JlynRN]

Wow, what a win, with all the players we had on the covid list and the players we lost during the game. Hopefully none of the injuries were serious and we can at least get some of our players back next week,

 

Good game and a great way to end Christmas day

Considerably more stress, but just as enjoyable!

If things break right tomorrow.....we may have a real big cushion

[Patrick Miller]

Amazing win! On the road....7 or 8 starters out.... Just fantastic!  Wentz stepped up and so did the defense! Merry Christmas!!!!

Yes, close and back & forth all night but the Cardinals only led once, and it was kinda brief. Both teams missed kicks but we stepped up and made the plays that needed to be made, and that was the difference in the game. 

[holeymoley99]

And players that seldom play now were thrown in the fire and produced, that is huge going forward. I do want to see Hot Rod back next week though.....kudos for Badgley's run but it is time.

He was just short on a 53 yard attempt, other than that he was perfect in his 4 other chances (2 FGs, 2 XPs) so it would be premature to bench him now.

I was stressed tonight! Learning all the players that we're gonna be out. Trying to put my overally excited children to bed during the first quarter.. I was all over the place. But I'm so grateful to have watched the second have by the fire with my beautiful wife. Very good win considering.. we have a very good team!

 

Merry Christmas to all, and to all goodnight

He has now missed fg's in 3 straight games, he had a great run but Hot Rod has more dependable range when looking at the 2
