While I do not think that any one game is make or break, this is a very interesting game for me. I am really looking forward to seeing how this defense looks with 2 top-of-the-line cornerbacks, and I want to see what crazy Lou can come up with. We went out and got these guys specifically for guys like Mahomes, and now we will begin to see if it works out. My biggest concern is Daniel Jones ...... after looking at the last 2 games again, and especially after watching people who actually understand pass-blocking (unlike me), it appears that many of those fumbles were Jones' fault. I am hoping that it was just a bad game, and nothing more. I've seen QBs from Unitas to Manning shit the bed. It happens. My only concern is that this is what was the big issue with Jones in New York, when he played for the Giants. I am betting (and hoping) that Kansas City will go all in to stop Jonathan Taylor (if I have learned anything from my 60 years of watching the NFL, it is that good teams will find a way to make you one dimensional), and make Jones beat them with his arm. I think he can, but he needs to prove it. l If we beat the Chiefs, it sets us up as true contenders in my mind ...... if we lose there still is time to get there, but my belief in this team will take a big hit. ) Thoughts ???

I like this mindset ...... tough love ...... even though the team is 8-2, your feeling is that the Colts need to beat the reigning, 3-time AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs on their homefield in western Missouri in order to officially put a stamp on themselves as bona-fide contenders for an AFC Championship of their own, and a trip to the Super Bowl ...... you don't want the team to rest on their laurels, and winning this game would make scoreboard watching and rooting for other teams to lose even less consequential than it already is.

This thread gets an A ...... grading the thread title is pretentious bullshit, even though a lot of posters here on ColtFreaks enjoy doing it.
