But, did you see anything good from today? Any silver linings?

Because, I am having trouble seeing any.

Ummmm, our new kicker did not miss today and had no kickoffs out of bounds!

What else?

Literally nothing other than the punting was pretty good

Not from the Colts shit show, but a silver lining for the week is McDickface's team blew a 20-0 halftime lead and lost in OT!

Another silver lining is that we play the Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs next ...... in 2019 when they won the Super Bowl, we beat them on their homefield in Kansas City, with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback.

I think that it's unlikely that we pull off another Houdini act against that perennial juggernaut next week, but for what it's worth, if the 2019 Colts could do it with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, then the 2022 team should not just throw the towel in before the opening kickoff with Matt Ryan at quarterback ...... of course, the Colts would need Matt Ryan to start playing like Matt Ryan, for starters.

I actually have a lot less confidence against KC with Bradley as defensive coordinator.

I think Eberflus’s style of defense is what gave Mahomes fits. I think he’ll be much more familiar with Bradley and probably much better.

Yea I never was one to complain about Eberflus. And I didn't love the Bradley hire, and I'm starting to not love it more and more.

You're probably right ...... I was just thinking of the best-case scenario, which probably won't come to fruition.

This is a potential silver lining ......

When the offense is horrible, it also affects the defense ...... not only is the offense not scoring points when they play badly, but they also are usually not possessing the ball very much. Subsequently, the defense has to labor much more because they are on the field so much.

That factor (time of possession) combined with the fact that the Colts have been playing without their best player (Shaquille Leonard) tells me that the defense has probably been playing better than if one were just judging them by looking at the scoreboard ...... so if the offense can get their asses in gear and Matt Ryan starts to play like Matt Ryan, that could help the team exponentially besides the obvious (scoring points.)
