What about that great play by George Odom? What a great play he deserve some praise. 

Absolutely! He was a streak flying across the screen!

Kurt doesn’t hide who he roots for. 

Cards go up 13-12.  Warner “and the cardinals hit the big shot and blow this one open”. He actually said that…

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Rodgers has a couple big plays too. We might have something with him as a starter.

I have no idea what happened lol. What a strange game.

 

Wenrz delivers when it matter. Now LT is a big concern. Pryor might play LT next week.

This is a good team with a a good coach and good GM that found away to overcome some major adversity and found a way to win.

It wasn't the most important from a playoff % perspective but I still consider tonight a big win. Both teams were missing some key players but AZ is still a quality team. Great to see the Colts go on the road and pull it out.

 

Wentz didn't look sharp again this week but he made some critical throws to get it done.

 

I thought Odum and Speed stepped up on defense.

 

I didn't really notice Paye or Dayo. I was hoping as we close out the regular season those two would flash some.

 

 

The win actually takes the Colts playoff odds up to close to 99%.  That’s pretty big.

[Coltsman1788]

Colts showed perseverance tonight battling through attrition to pick up a big hard fought short handed win against a solid Cardinals team. Proud of our team tonight. They are showing some maturity and toughness. Would like to see them continue to progress. Hopefully we can get healthier by next week.

wentz made me eat crow he was really bad early on and stepped up like a franchise QB with the game on the line .    i am really worried about jack and fisher because daven port is not good .

 

Looking at Big Mo ig story Jack was in a good mood no limp or boot. Fisher also was standing around and chatting with Wentz. They may miss a game or two but it doesn't seem major yet.

To be fair before that last TD, he was like 1-6 and over throwing targets. But he settled down

That’s how he started the half.  He settled down before that TD and finished the second half 7-14 with the TD and was 6 of his final 8.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Look at Ballard and TY at the end.

I think Pryor would go to LT.  Kelly will return and Pinter would go to RG if Glow doesn’t return.

That’s what I am thinking.  I have a feeling Kelly is going to feel like his team needs him and will be back.  With that said I will fully understand if he’s not.

TY stepped it up tonight.  I had a feeling pre-game he would.  Vet team leaders just normally do when your teams back is to wall like the Colts were tonight.

[IrsaysArmy]

Ballard fired up. Love to see it

[GoColts8818]

Three of the four Colts leading tacklers tonight were fillin guys including Odum and Speed leading the way with 9 each.

[AKB]

Colts win! 

 

I feel like we are not throwing enough check downs or quick screens, but I won't complain a lot after a win. 

 

Impressed with Odum, 54, and Speed.

One more win I think is all we need. Win next week and jax may not matter.

The J’Ville game will likely matter for home field advantage on the later rounds if the playoffs.   
 

The difference between 10-7 and 11-6 may likely be home field advantage in Rounds 2 or 3.

Yeah. I hope he returns but definitely understand if he doesn’t for a while longer. 

[Painterman]

To all those who said "I'm not watching tonight"

 

Go root for the Lyons!

If we get the other guys back from Covid, Kelly could probably ride out the rest of the regular season and we’d be fine. That said, I’ll worry if he misses the Jax game.

Hopefully it’s just a sprain or something but being ruled out that fast with a knee injury is normally a very bad sign.  Knee injuries can look pretty harmless when in fact it’s season ending.  Hopefully that’s not the case here.

The bright side if Darius misses another game maybe it'll help his ankle for the playoffs if we make it.

Yeah, i normally don’t complain about tv sports announcers but he was so annoying.  Anytime the Colts did something good his first response was what can the Cards do to get back into it and was clearly pulling for them but the line that made me roll my eyes the most was when the Cards went up 13-12 and he said they hit the big one and blew this one open.

You said a loss to J’Villle likely wouldn’t matter in the playoffs.   I was explaining that the game will likely have important playoff implications so it will matter, it will be important. 

[coming on strong]

we can get back glow  turray rock , sendajo  , kelly next week then by the jags game we are back up to full strength .   the way odum is playing it doesnt hurt as much to have no blackmon .   dayo played very well tonight he is getting good pressures

Yeah, it also was what the Cards got to do to win the game not anything what the Colts got to do very unprofessional. IMHO

[GoColts8818]

Btw assuming there isn’t some strange flex the last two weeks the Colts finish the regular season 4-1 in primetime (should have been 5-0).

 

The Colts have held five of the last six teams they have played to 17 points or less.  The exception is the Bucs game.

 

The Colts now have six games this year with zero turnovers.  Third most in the NFL this year.  
 

This is a very good team that’s coming together at the right time.

I will be curious is Rock and Turay are vaccinated. If they are they should be back.

I do agree with you if nothing else it'll mean seeding.

Yeah….  That was a terrible use of a phrase.   Warner is Warner, a former Cardinal.  But someone here also complained about the play by play guy as well.   And don’t know why?   I heard nothing that said he favored Arizona….   But maybe that’s just me?

This is a very good team.

Colts will get more home prime time games next year hopefully. They showed up.

they are because the colts waited to rule them out  for todays game if they were unvaxed there would be no waiting needed out ten days .

All true….

 

But….

 

We still have players that might come down with Covid.   And one of them is our quarterback.     We’re not safe by a long shot….  Just saying.

I know that. But it’s sure nice to not have the pressure to win. Yes we need to for seeding but at least we wouldn’t have to worry about making playoffs. Weird things happen in Jacksonville.

Hoping so. Reich did indicate that.

[GoColts8818]

rich eisen throwing the Colts some love.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think it was great Wentz trusted Patmon enough to make that throw. So happy for Dez.

There will be enough pressure to win the last game.   You don’t want to start you’re playoff run by stumbling against one of the worst teams in the NFL.   
 

Losing would take much of the wind out of our sails.    It may not be the difference between getting in or not, but it’s still important.   Honestly.
