I have to admit, this game has me worried. Stroud is no joke. I knew we would win yesterday, Saturday is a 50/50 game. We have to play smart and get some Turnovers.

I think the colts should use Mallory more!

 Dude is a playmaker.

In the passing game for sure but Moe really had some beautiful blocks in the running game yesterday.

[rockywoj]

I am so happy the game is on Saturday.  If it had been on Sunday I would’ve missed the game due to being on an airplane to Mexico.  Yay, Go Colts!

[JediXMan]

So the Colts still have a roster spot open? 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s kind of sad we aren’t getting the Stroud vs Richardson matchup.

True, but hopefully that will happen for years to come. We got a nice preview at the start of the season at least. And it sure was a fun game.

Ravens and Bills, both are tough matchups if they end up being the No.1 and No.2 seeds, on the road. Lately, our road record has taken a turn for the worse. I'd rather face KC that has been very shaky at home lately. 

 

However, Steichen with Hurts in Year 1 was the No.7 seed on the road losing to the Bucs. Year 2 - they added several pieces and went to the SB. Hopefully Ballard follows a little bit of the Eagles' blue print, even if it is signing marquee free agents for a year or two to maximize AR's rookie contract window, with the BIG assumption AR gives us 80-90% of snaps every year moving forward. 

 

First things first, let us win vs the Texans, will be as tough as it can get but am sure glad it is at home.  

Bills game would be outdoors in freezing cold weather. 

 

It may be snowing too

It’s crazy to me they haven’t built a dome now that they got a high powered offense.

If AR was healthy, I don't think the Colts would be fighting for a playoff spot.

Yes but cant bring up Ferenea off ps any longer so if want him Saturday he would have to fill that spot.

Crazy is the word. They are building a new stadium right now next to the current one with no dome.  Makes no sense.

You mean they wouldn’t make it or they would have already clinched? Colts record would probably be same with Richardson. He would probably win them an extra game or two but maybe lost a couple Minshew won because he is a rookie. This is a better team with Richardson.

We’ll find out next year.  Let’s hope so.

The Colts are basically in the playoffs right now. Win they advance, lose, the season is over.

Imagine if we didn't get robbed of a game vs the Browns

It's been in the 40s and 50s so far. Very little snow so far...thanks to El Nino I guess.

I think we already would have clinched. Ot we at  least could have still clinched with a loss against Texans. Colts would also most likely win the division had the ref not screwed up.

Yeah same. I think they could put him out wide too if they wanted tbh 

[cdgacoltsfan]

They should bring TY Hilton in to hit the anvil.

[Hark]

Cage match with the Texans with the playoffs on the line? Yes please!

Needs to be a playoff atmosphere. No reason for it not to be.

Less pressure too, IMO. If the other things happen the way we wanted and THEN we played knowing the results, it might add to the pressure. This way, we win, know we are in the playoffs and just wait around to see which seed we get. I really like playing on Saturday this time.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With it being a division rival I think the place will be electric.

As long as they win it will be fun being  able to relax Sunday and just watch games. I hope I get the jags game.

He is the Colts best TE (Receiving) without a doubt. Grades out at 67 PFF. Not bad for limited play. Has 18 of 21 passes thrown his way.

Pretty sure Henry Black took the open spot 

 

 

We signed him from Steelers PS so he has to be on active roster for 3 weeks.

I think Black took it.

 

 

 

EDIT:

I was referring to Blackmon's roster spot. Not Ogletree, should still have one.

 

 

Fernea has a decent shot as that has been how the team operates this year. Exhaust PS call ups, then either release or sign to active roster.

Or run a few go routes.

 

Just the presence of the ghost will scare them.

Ask his high school son that plays for Zionsville with good speed to do that, sign him for a day.   He plays big, I have seen him play.

I don’t know if my blood pressure can handle all the suspense 😂 Looking forward to a good game! Also hoping the Longhorns bring in the new year with something special tonight as well…

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

What’s so crazy is how quickly it just ends at this time of year. You lose and it just ends. There is no slow buildup. It’s just a weird feeling having it end so quick.

He disappeared in his game vs Noblesville this year.

After all these years, here we go again. This game is 50/50 to me.

[ShuteAt168]

Man, I’m nervous already.

I am too. To me this is a playoff game against a good opponent.

Yep, finally a VERY meaningful game between the two of us. I think the last game with stakes like this was our playoff game where Andrew torched us for 222 and three touchdowns. Good to be playing for something again! May the best team win 😤
