7) Studies have been done on this that show that win probability is greatly increased in a lot of questionable situations by going for it on fourth down. That's why the strategy has proliferated throughout the league.

8) The refs tried to hand the game to the Packers at the end of both halves. That DPI call at the end of a half on a 3rd down play was questionable as fuck (especially because the Packers WR committed OPI as well, either double flag or no flag) and gave them 7 points, then there was that ridiculous string of holding calls, then the "fumble" where I honestly believe they looked at the replay and went "Shit, we want to give this to them, but it would be way too obvious that we're throwing the game for them if we do." I'm not normally on this train, but I really feel like the final score in this game was Colts 34 Packers 21 Refs 10.

12) I underestimated Julian Blackmon and I'm really happy about that. It looks like with his addition, the Colts now have a young impact player at every level of the defense, and that's when defenses start having sustained runs of dominance.
