I like Steichens energy. He really stalks that sideline.

I thought French had a good game under difficult circumstances.

Raimann is very steady at left tackle. It reminds me of having Castonzo out there. You don’t even think about it.

Another long return allowed on special teams. This one almost cost us the game. That’s gonna bite us in the ass at some point.

I fell asleep on my couch in the first quarter. Didn't even see the game. I'm glad we won. Fuck all you youngsters who don't think it's coming for you. And good luck, you'll need it. Getting old is weird. I hope it doesn't last much longer.

It probably will...smh

100% Agree.

I am so pleased that they came away with this. I think they still have plenty of opportunity to improve offensively, but this is a game they have not won for years. It's good to see them actually take the W against another team that is trying their hardest to blow it. I do think Baltimore lost this more than Indy won it, but in my eyes this is the growth from the team that we have hoped to see. Especially against those fucking rat birds and their whiny ass fans.

- Franklin has taken over the LB group and I see/hear more from #45 than #53.

- Pittman's catch today was enormous. I hope he can keep this shit up, and I hope Pierce can start to find some consistency. Both of them had similar jump-ball opportunities and Pitt came down with a harder one IMO.

- Gotta love to see Brents come out and make an impact today.

- Fellas, these guys can rush the passer. We've been waiting years for that. Paye is 3 for 3.

- I'm so happy Blankenship is no longer on this team. This reminded me of the divisional game during the championship run. Resilience is the right word, coach.

- I was not happy with a rookie HC hire but this guy is looking okay right now. Again, his attitude is different than the other two guys. Time will tell.

- #52 is a busy dude. That kid gets a lot of work. That's looking like a good pickup right now.

- Kenny Moore is making a play every week.

- Moss is really putting the team in an advantageous position here. I don't know if this means Taylor's position is worse, because ultimately if 31 other teams are open to paying him - he's worth whatever they're willing to pay. But the team is in a good position here.

Steichen doesn't owe Taylor shit, Moss is making an argument he can be the guy, and in some sense Taylor has to actually prove he deserves to be on the field. The pressure is on Taylor, not us. Good problem for us.

- First in the AFC south. Awesome way to start the year. I want to stay grounded and not have inappropriate expectations, so I will sit back and enjoy the ride.

Curious what coach you would have liked to see the colts hire?

I didn't see any post game presser by Reich, but I'm sure it would include "it starts with me, I take responsibility for this loss" --- :rolleyes:

It already did in the Jax game--it was the turning point.

I thought the O'line played well, especially with French making his first start and then Sills having 18 snaps next to him. Didn't notice any drop off at all. Which is good, the play with the starters was already fairly good beforehand, so not as if slotting one poor performance for another.

Most of the pressure was coming from the blitzing of Hamilton, who looks like a hell of a player in that system, he was a menace to the Colts yesterday.
