Thread: Positive outlook on tonight's game.

We were on the road, against a really good team, made tons of mistakes, had several fluky things happen against us, had horrible coaching decisions, and only lost by 6. I see us handling Washington and SD before the big showdown with KC.

PEACE!!!

This will be the loneliest thread on the board.


I agree. Colts are a good team. We lost because of stupid mistakes. Everyone's on the Seahawk's dicks. Colts beat them. With the mistakes the team made, this shouldn't have been a close game at all. The team got a loss. The pressure is off. They'll learn and grow.

Bad coaching decisions, play calling, adjustments, bad reffing, terrible play, Manning couldn't hit the broad-side of a barn, we turned the ball over a bunch of times...

Lost by one score to a very good team on the road.

There are worse things, and I'm glad our receivers got to play a really physical secondary. The lessons we should be able to take from it should help against the Chiefs, not to mention the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

But we've GOT to be able to convert third-and-short and in goal-line situations. It killed us in the Baltimore game, and we haven't fixed it. I know our line is hurting badly, but we've got to get it done.

Any team can lose with a bunch of turnovers, but it's hard to win close games if you can't get first downs and touchdowns when you need em and they're right there for you to man up and take. Hope we figure that out in the next couple months.

This team lost to a suspect Chargers team. A chargers team with equally devistating losses on Defense that held them under 15 points. Let's not call them a really good team. This team lost due to a piss poor game plan, piss poor execution, and turnovers.

Also, the d has been shredded since Philly. They need to get it turned around!

John Fox/Adam Gase was Dan Reeves part deux tonight with the conservative gameplan especially on the 3rd and 1's

These all seem more like excuses than positive outlooks.

This team also smoked the 49ers and beat the Seahawks. They are a good team. They were probably overlooking SD a bit with us coming up. Not unlike us against Jax.

Also, our D did not get shredded tonight IMO. We gave them a BUNCH of short fields. I think this was the best our defense has played since the second half against Philly.

Depends on how you choose to look at it.

Moral victories. Orange slices. Participation trophies.

We kicked our own ass more than the colts kicked our asses. Learn from it, fix it and cut hillman.

We held the Colts to 334 total yards. How exactly does that equate to our D getting shredded?

Our D wasn't shredded like they were by Dallas, Philly, and Justin Blackmon but they were tore up pretty good. After the first 3 and out Indy had to open the game, how many more were there? They couldn't get off the field and Vickerson couldn't keep his helmet on!

Positive, down by 19, they didnt stop and quit, like years past, but made it a game despite not being able to wipe with either hand.

There was hope all the way to the end.

Better cut Vick too, that guy is a free 15 yard machine. 3 tonight I think, but that gets overlooked too.

Because of you know, that fumble.
