You mean he was purple from all the beating he took?? 

 

Purple Heart and Body then.  

[teganslaw]

Positives: Gilmore, Buckner and Pierce. 

 

Also, posters aren't quite as bad as the Broncos forums. Those posters are brutal!

[TheNextGM]

Won a road game against a good D without our best offensive weapon.

 

JT gets time to rest and heal and we still got the win.

 

D looked amazing even without Shaquille in there.

[Crunked]

This weeks positive thought: Chin up Colts fans we are barely 3 points better than the worst offense in all of the NFL....

[Rhodelesstraveled]

Buckner got some good recognition here.  

 

 

[Crunked]

We didnt try to be balanced offensively this game, instead we tried to win....novel idea

[Crush22]

[sfergson727]

 

[jonjon]

I'm positive we suck.

[Crunked]

This weeks positive: We are the only team in the league to announce our 3rd (strike that 2nd string) (strike that again 1st string QB behind/in the middle of/ahead of  (2) SB appearing QB's is the starter.....for the rest of the season....SMART! 

[coltsva]

Sam looked good.

[Dobbinblitz]

Grover Stewart should get pro Bowl consideration this year. He has been a consistent force in the middle and leads all Defensive Tackles in Solo Tackles with 34 through 7 weeks.

[Crunked]

This weeks Positive. Matt Ryan for the first time this year had zero turnovers!

[coltsva]

This is getting more difficult every week. 

 

         We're more than halfway through the season! 

[Crunked]

This weeks Wednesday positive: Frank Reich will forever have a winning record as Colts coach......wish I could say the same for our GM...but *shrugs*

Not if we go far in the playoffs.

[ThorstenDenmark]

Love the win today.

 

But we wont win much this season, so it will be a draft pick ranging between 12-18 as we wont make the playoffs. 

[Crunked]

Two things this week: I dont have to wait until Wednesday to figure out something positive to say....and.....We won! 

[coltsva]

Saturday, Frazier, Ryan, Taylor, OLine, defense. Pretty much everything. What a difference a week makes!

I love how dead this thread is.

Why is that?    Is positive bad?

 

The team is playing better since Sat took over.  They lost a close game to the best team in the NFC, but without a couple plays, they would have won it.  Still a loss is a loss.  At least we were in the game unlike some other losses this season.  

 

The firing of Reich was the correct thing to do.  It's nice to have that question answered.  

Parks is doing decent for his first time.  It's a good time to learn for him.

Nope positivity isn't bad. The simple truth about this team is for whatever reason they aren't very good. I'd go into detail but this is a positive thread.  So I'll say it's nice to see the team trying again.  It's nice that there will be changes and it's nice were not in cap trouble.

All of us Colts fans hated the way the season ended, so to cheer everyone up, here is a look at what our franchise has accomplished since 1984 being in Indy.

 

SB Championships

2006

 

AFC Championships

2006, 2009

 

AFC Title Game Appearances

1995, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014

 

Division Championships

1987 (AFC East), 1999 (AFC East), 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014

 

QB's we have had

Jim Harbaugh (1994-1997)

Peyton Manning (1998-2010) didn't play in 2011

Andrew Luck (2012-2016, 2018) didn't play in 2017

Philip Rivers (2020)

 

RB's we have had

Eric Dickerson (1987-1991)

Marshall Faulk (1994-1998)

Edge James (1999-2005)

Jonathan Taylor (2020 and 2021) - in his prime now

 

-Just remember the great times and we will see what happens this offseason. 

 

Think of how Vikings fans feel, sorry @NFLfan losing in 4 SB's = 1969, 1973, 1974, and 1976 + losing in the 1998 NFC Title Game with a loaded team. Think of how Bills fans feel, losing 4 straight SB's from 1990-1993. Imagine Dolphin fan from 1983-1999 having Dan Marino who is a top 10 QB of all-time and winning 0 SB's. Things could be worse. We will be ok folks. Isray, Ballard, and Frank are on the right the path, we just need a franchise QB.

Have to stay positive, I am over last Sunday - it took that long after that terrible gut punch. Hopefully we can take down one of our all-time rivals on Monday Night in the Steelers. Realistically we need to win 5 of our last 6 games to get into the playoffs. That would put us at 9-7-1. The positive things are we are playing better under coach Jeff Saturday and Matt Ryan isn't turning the ball over. We will see how 2022 ends.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, Mom is cooking everything, she is like a machine at age 70  . Turkey and a Ham, Stuffing, Mash Potatoes with her homemade Gravy, Mac 'N' Cheese, Green Beans with Bacon in the Croc Pot, and Pumpkin Pie.

Go Colts

[Chrisaaron1023]

I like our stripped socks uniforms... we should go back to those.

[TimetobringDfence!]

I am positively sure Matt Ryan should retire as soon as possible...

[teganslaw]

The Colts are on bye.  They won't lose this coming week! That's all I can think of right now. 

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Only 3 games remain this year

[Floydian]

LOVE the Colts, but hate they are struggling.

They are like my kids.  They had some rough years, but I still loved them and celebrate with them when they snap out of it.

[ThorstenDenmark]

 

I wonder what the colts front office are "sinking about" right now ;) 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Colts last 25 seasons:

1998 = 3-13 no playoffs

 

1999 = 13-3 lost in Divisional Round 

 

2000 = 10-6 lost in Wildcard Round 

 

2001 = 6-10 no playoffs 

 

2002 = 10-6 lost in Wildcard Round 

 

2003 = 12-4 lost in AFCCG 

 

2004 = 12-4 lost in Divisional Round 

 

2005 = 14-2 lost in Divisional Round 

 

2006 = 12-4 SB Champions

 

2007 = 13-3 lost in Divisional Round 

 

2008 = 12-4 lost in Wildcard Round 

 

2009 = 14-2 AFC Champions, lost in SB

 

2010 = 10-6 lost in Wildcard Round 

 

2011 = 2-14 no playoffs 

 

2012 = 11-5 lost in Wildcard Round 

 

2013 = 11-5 lost in Divisional Round 

 

2014 = 11-5 lost in AFCCG 

 

2015 = 8-8 no playoffs 

 

2016 = 8-8 no playoffs 

 

2017 = 4-12 no playoffs 

 

2018 = 10-6 lost in Divisional Round 

 

2019 = 7-9 no playoffs 

 

2020 = 11-5 lost in Wildcard Round 

 

2021 = 9-8 no playoffs 

 

2022 = 4-11-1 no playoffs 

 

Totals:

237-157-1 = 80 games over .500

 

16 playoff appearances out of 25 seasons

 

4 AFCCG appearances = 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014

 

2 SB appearances = 2006, 2009

 

1 SB win = 2006

 

That is going back 25 seasons. I would say that is outstanding.
