because richardson showed flashes  of being great in the 4th quarter .    when the colts would lose last year we had nothing to look forward to except the draft .  when you have a young talented QB who looks better each week it gives hope .

I agree. Richardson  is flashing  mad potential. Granted  he still has his fair share of doubters particularly  Stat watchers who don't watch the game to gain context.

It’s the same thing that happened with josh Allen in 2018 . His passing stats looked average on paper but he flashed in several games .   It’s gonna take until year 3 for Richardson hits his full potential.

Losses are much more easier to accept when you see the potential. We haven’t had that the last several years 

Last year Colts were supposed to be favored by many to win the Division, and fell flat. This year we are supposed to win very few- just develop players for the future (especially AR5), and we’ve been ahead or tied in the 4th quarter in all four of our games.  That’s a significant step towards success.

I'm surprised no one has bashed Steichen's going for it on fourth down instead of having Matt kick the FG mid fourth. If he makes it in that spot based on all else, it never goes to OT, and we win.

I do think he is over aggressive  at times. With a rookie qb kick the field goal

I think it's because there's hope.  Most Colts fans didn't expect a SB championship the instant that we signed AR.  We liked what we saw from him on the field, especially the 2nd half.  He lead the offense.   He can work on those weaknesses, like putting too much zip on the ball or overthrowing.   It was a good comeback and almost a win.

Steichen’s aggressive, I think we’re going to have to accept that he’s going to risk it in times like that. Sometimes it’ll work, other times it won’t. As long as he doesn’t go for it on every 4th and 1 he sees like Reich did, I’m fine with it.

I'm only on two social media platforms - Facebook & the Colts message board.

 

I don't care what's being said - or - not said on other platforms.

 

The Colts are proving to be FAR better than the "talking heads" - and - fans thought we'd be.  

 

I'm happy with that.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
