Playing Down to Their Competiton ...... Not the 2025 Colts

I can't believe that I am making such outrageously optimistic and confident statements with a straight face for a franchise that had repeatedly stepped all over their dicks in every season since Andrew Luck's retirement, with the exception of the 2020 Philip Rivers season.

My best friend is a Jets fan. I remember the year his team started out 8 and 1 and in the end, they did NOT make the playoffs.

It ain't over til it's over.

You are 100% correct.

However, the last time that I felt this way about the Colts was in the Peyton Manning era ...... even in the Andrew Luck era, I was not this confident about the team going forward.

In yesterday's game thread, I said that I was not worried about the fact that the Colts were only up by 3 point, 10-7 ...... last year and every year since the retirement of Andrew Luck (with the exception of the 2020 Philip Rivers season), I WOULD HAVE BEEN WORRIED if the Colts were up by 14 points.


All of that said, we could be one Daniel Jones injury away from disaster.
