Grit

The Colts sorely miss Buckner. Have blown a 3 game lead.

I thought that this was a joke. Guess I was wrong.

It is a joke. Kind of sort of. lol

I hate football these days. It just fucking sucks.

What an awesome first half of the season we had. Now we're going to miss the playoffs and not have a first round pick. How quickly things can go south.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

If I had as many kids as Rivers I'd want to get out of the house too.

Good article, but I have my doubts. At his age and being away from the actual grind for so long isn't to his advantage.

Inside the 48 Hours When the Colts Lured Philip Rivers Out of Retirement

He would talk scheme every week with Shane Steichen and beat draft prospects in summer competitions. Now the 44-year-old is back in the NFL.

I am genuinely excited to watch this unfold. If nothing else, it makes for a fun story to pay attention to. Also, another good mentor for Riley.

Think I’ve mentioned this here before but Matt Taylor, voice of the Colts, is a HS buddy. I just spoke to his brother last Friday.

What would December be without the colts being an absolute circus? I almost don’t want them to go back to being a competent franchise.

Rivers and Leonard have history training together, from the 24 offseason

I saw Rivers on the news last night. He’s fat and out of shape. Hope he doesn’t tap out like the last Colts qb did. But seriously, I don’t know how you play an entire NFL game if you’re not in shape.

Hard to win an NFL game when your QB can only throw it 30 yards. Maybe 20 yards accurately

Is Leonard really that bad that you’d rather pluck Rivers off the couch over him?

Leonard was dealing with an injury "to some degree". Not sure how much he would've really been hampered.

The one distinct thing he was doing well was reading the D and changing the call as needed. Yet, you're not going to win by running and throwing 5 yard passes. Seattle knew the could play at the line of scrimmage and not have to worry about defending deep.

Taking the lead with 47 seconds to go and then letting them start at the 40 for the winning drive is the Colts losing streak in a nutshell.

We were -13.5 dogs on the road in Seattle and almost escaped with the upset. 10-7 might get us a wildcard. About the best we can honestly expect at this juncture.

I will say that until that last Seattle drive the D played great considering they're missing Buchner and the two starting corners.

Riley Leonard and Tyler Buchner? I need to start following the colts

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

The Colts defense played really good. Rivers played better than I thought. But unfortunately, I don't see the Colts winning another. Just sad being a Colts fan these days, but they are my team.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

I don’t recall any season where there were two SO DISTINCT, different halves to a season like this.

This just looks absolutely nothing like the team the first half of the season. It’s shocking.

 

[MacIrish75]

Rivers doing all he can. This defense is abysmal tonight.
