Hopefully the jets continue to lose and Darnold continues to struggle. Then, I think he can be gotten on the cheap. With the right guidance, I believe Darnold could be a quality QB. He's young, had shit coaching, shit line, shit receivers and is playing in the hardest city to fail in.

Rivers was really good today.

And while he was sacked 3 times in the 2nd half, he didn't make it worse by fumbling or forcing the ball into tight coverage.

And he is playing on a foot that is needing an operation...going to have surgery in the off-season...we may not see him back.

I hope that he gets the surgery performed 3 days after the Super Bowl.

Why wait that long after the end of our season?

I love the Colts but let's be real.

There is zero chance we are beating KC in Arrowhead or PIT at Heinz field with our offense this season. Our defense may.....may be up to the task of slowing those guys down but there is zero chance our offense will be able to score enough on them to win.

At best, we are one and done in the playoffs. Heck, we needed a fricking miracle fumble yesterday to beat the Texans.

While I tend to agree with Ironshaft on this one, improbable, lucky, even last minute wins are a hallmark of 'great' teams. If this defense is playing well you never know. Especially if they ever figure out how to run the football consistently, and they appear to be falling into that if we open up our eyes and let the rookie just play.

Look, I want the Colts to win every game and every season's Super Bowl.

But, while the phrase is "any given Sunday," the reality is that the better football team wins the vast majority of game played.

And in this case, both KC and PIT, this season, are the better football teams.

If that is glass half full, well okay then.

I prefer to call it reality.

I have a good friend who is a notorious gambler. He would call me the day before a Colts game and ask me what I thought of the Colts chances and as a fan, I would say they're gonna kick ass. Regardless of the opponent. If they lost, my friend would call me and cuss me out. I learned to keep my optimism close to the vest when interacting with the reality based gambler.

When you chose to dress down an optimistic fan who made a hopeful comment about the Colts going to the Super Bowl, you said they had zero chance of that happening. While in all probability it won't happen, there's always better than a zero chance until there isn't. There's nothing wrong with your reality POV, I just didn't see the need to dress down the fan for his optimism.

As I pointed out yesterday, the Colts' defense outscored the Texans' offense in the 2nd half yesterday by a score of 2-0. They also sacked DeShaun Watson 5 times, including the one for the safety. While they were fortunate that the Texans coughed the ball up in the final 2 minutes of the game, they were excellent overall, especially considering the fact that the extremely elusive DeSahun Watson was on the other side of the ball ...... the Colts' defense made their own luck in the 2nd half yesterday a lot more than they were lucky.
