Granted that the Colts have a mediocre 6-8 record, have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, and have lost 6 out of their last 7 games ........ that said, you would hardly know that it was a home game in which the home team winning by a large margin.

That's a little surprising to me, because the home crowd has almost always been raucous in recent years ........ even in the disastrous 2011 season in which Peyton Manning's absence resulted in a 2-14 overall record.

JB looks better this game, but the panthers are not trying. They have given up on the season. But hey we will be 8-8, and we need a new QB. Just about the shitiest place to be. Not good enough to be in the playoffs. Not bad enough to get a high draft pick for a QB.

I understand what you are saying about the Colts being in an in-between position, but I don't think that the fan base that attends the games at Lucas Oil Stadium is that practical/refined that they cheer loudly during a 2-14 season because we are going to get a high draft pick, and don't cheer loudly during an 8-8 or 7-9 season because we are neither making the playoffs nor getting a high draft pick ........ if they really were like that, they would not have been cheering so loudly when the Colts won 2 games in a row (and very nearly won a 3rd consecutive game) late in the 2011 season. That little almost 3-game winning streak nearly dropped them from the #1 overall pick to #2.
