Damn proud of the team.  
 

The players and Steichen gave tremendous effort.  Even Bradley blitzed far more than normal.  Very effective.  
 

Fans couldn’t ask for more.  

I could really go for a stress free win.   The ticker ain't as young as it used to be.    But it's always a good day with a win over Pittsburgh

Bradley did blitz more than usual today, but there was a really odd stretch in the 3rd quarter where he just… stopped for a prolonged stretch. Unexpectedly stopped. It was working and we were having success with it and then… poof. The next play they ran one was the Fields TD scramble, and that one may have gotten home had Latu not rushed inside and swung the gate wide open. 
 

This is one of the main things I’m gonna pay attention to when I watch the all 22 film this week because it felt like a looooong stretch where we just quit blitzing, and I’m perplexed as to why.

Because the data said to... 

I agree with you, btw. For a team that wants to take away the big play, we sure can't do it when a big play is exactly what the opposing offense needs.

Bradley’s blitz rate has been up all season compared to last year. It did seem like he backed off on it during the 2nd half. I also thought the effort was great. Too bad Land had that sack taken away on a brutal call. Things evened out on the ridiculous call on the Steelers DB when Mitchell gave the alligator arms attempt. Considering some of the guys they were dressing on defense it was a good job. I hope Paye and Moore are back. Even with their struggles, Jags are a better offense than the Bears and Steelers.

Spot on...the NFL is built in parody. A win is a win despite who or how you play . I'm going to enjoy this win...others will complain. ( The ones complaining, are the ones that predicted the Colts would lose)

Ballard has built depth and still has 25 mil in cap space...hard for average fans to grasp

This was a good day for Balllard. With as many defensive injures there were this was a really good game. Gus had his players ready to play. The strength of the team is the trenches and depth there has paid off. Womack is also looking very good.

Nick Cross too…

We better have beat Bustin Fields. He passed for 300 yards on us. Let’s not live in that make believe world about this team. We barely won today. We can ride that “A win is a win” today. Team 2 weeks in a row almost blow a lead

Absolutely! What a hurdle all those injuries were/are. OVERCAME today.

As sure as calling us playing soft zone defense to end the game. C plus players vs C- minus players. stealers missing 4 out of 5 offensive lineman and Justin Fields at QB… Yay we beat such world beat barely by 3 points…

Ballard makes Big Bucks, win,lose, or draw. Every day is a good day for him. Lol

 

More importantly, it was a Good Day for Colt Fans......something that you can't say every week. A Win and against the Steelers, that's actually more of a great day than good for Colt fans.

    • Irsay surely wants colts fans to pack LOS…but at the end of the day all that really matters is butts in the seats…the only thing the financials need regardless of jersey color.   I do wish that the stadium was more Colts fans…but the product has been so poor these past number of years I’m sure many fans just want prefer to follow from home.
    • The 49ers are my favorite NFC team and I watch 80% of their games, and he’s a guy who can be good on the outside. Just don’t move him in as a nickel because he gets lost with regularity. Thats what got him on the outs in SF. They moved him inside and… eeeeeeeeh 😬. 
    • yup, every time they trot gay out even on an extra point I just say well it’s a 50/50 parlay at this point. It sucks that if a game is on the line I am terrified if Gay is called upon for anything longer than 40-45 yards…and from closer I am still nervous at best. Terrible feeling. Kickers gotta make those points way more often than they miss from all reasonable distances. You know anything from 7-54 yards. Anything over 54 and I’m just going to say it’s a crapshoot for almost any kicker.
    • I think it’s not a major problem Bears fans travel well to start with and the short drive to Indy when they are excited about their team and Colts fans weren’t after an 0-2 start explains that one and again Steelers fans travel well probably better than any other fan base in the league.  You always notice them no matter where they are playing.  Once the Colts get back to playing teams like the Jags, Titans, Dolphins, and Bills it will be back to normal.
