Add to this how he has handled Mitchell (consequences for being a fucktard. Let's hope Mitchell learns and all this is part of the growing process) When Bachie screwed up he was out of the game it seem to be a trend that the Colts won't stand for this crap. Like all organizations it has to start at the top with Carlie-we may have gotten lucky here.

I am incredibly pumped about this season. I agree that we are a different team. What sticks out to me is hopefully anecdotal.
Yea, Steichen has found a better groove, but man he did that really stupid clock management thing / 57 yard FG thing that *should* have cost us a win of not for the leverage call.
Yes, the team seems more disciplined, but 11 penalties against the Broncos for 68 yards (players started to lose their cool), and another 11 against the Rams that was one of the many ways we lost that game. Last week 9....
Yea, Mitchell has been delivered a message, but why was he still in the game against the Rams to drag the guy to the ground.
I dont want to be a negative Nancy, but we showed we could beat a quality team but didnt, and we've beaten 4 teams that any playoff team should beat.
Dont get me wrong, I'm 100% on board, think we can beat anyone, but all of us have been here before.
