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.

This Colt team is nothing like Colt teams of the recent past. They don't play down to the lower comp. They are immediately dragging them into the deep end of the pool and drowning them, and I am here for it.

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.
