People talk about lack of effort and professionalism with the playoffs on the line but...
2021: off to a bad 1-4 start, the Colts run off to an 8-2 stretch and have a shot at the playoffs, they just need 1 more W to get the spot, and can do it with a home win vs Raiders, or a road win at Jax. They lost a tight one to the Raiders, and completely no-showed 26-11 vs Jags
2022: bad team goes up 33-0 vs Minnesota at halftime. Loses 36-33
2023: Up and down season, 8-6 record with a slim shot at playoffs, get blown out on Christmas eve by the Falcons, 29-10.
When the pressure's on, this team melts and has done so 4 years in a row.
Everyone is talking a lot of about this past game, but this is a trend that predates Steichen, it predates AR. There is something else with this team that STINKS.
Some of these guys are mentally weak and have a loser mentality.
