Not sure if GBB left for good or not... so here's my summary

Damn damn damn how nice it is to see a Colts team that in 2 of the last 3 games played just snapped the ball and pushed the ball forward sort of at will with a F-U attitude! I was sitting there waiting for the big play action- and we never ran it- because we could just grind them down. Over the duration of a season, that is going to create such a winning mentality- we are just going to smack you in the face and you're going to like it! That part I freakin' loved. Yeah I know Nelson wasn't the reason for the conversion on 2- that was really Kelly but if you watch that replay, Nelson is so incredibly strong- he pulled his man across his body and about three yards deep in the end zone- from his back (could have very easily been called for a hold).

Jacoby, perfectly fine, excellent game- that throw to Ebron- that was a throw that top caliber starters make. The throw to Funchess to the sideline, great positional throw. The back shoulders back to back- excellent. This game had to build his confidence. I get that it was mostly close to the vest but 21-27 is 77% fucking percent period and 2 TD's- 77% completions and a 175 yard runner, you're gonna win 8 out of 10 times doing that shit- and short of AV shitting the bed, we won this one.

Thrilled with the pash rush, I have been pounding the Tuary drum- I think we have a star in the making- 2 strip sacks (yeah I know one didn't count)- he gets leverage so damn fast- very much reminds me of Mathis.

The bad- The Maniac was sort of on the less than maniacal side today - and I saw him get planted a couple times- very disappointed in his showing today. Interior run game, miserable gap exposure, they let them get pushed directionally and it opened way too many running lanes and the backers were not filling well enough.

Very very very disappointed in the play of the back 4 with the exception of the pick by Hooker. In fact I have to believe Hooker got sat down for a while after that Allen TD where he was 4.5 hours late to recognize the throw. His head down dive on the last run- that's exactly the knock on him- that was middle school level bad. We gave cushions we didn't necessarily rally to the ball well. I thought Geathers looked a step slow in every capacity.

Obviously it goes without saying that ST's was a catastrophe today- but I expect AV will show his grit and he won't be a problem the rest of the year.

Overall- I am pretty optimistic and I expect us to go into TN and play well- I expect Jacoby to start hitting some seam stuff for big YAC. It didn't look like Funchess was hurting too bad, he was back on the sideline, helmet on so I think he would have come back in if we got the ball. I want to see us tighten up some underneath stuff and for Leonard to play at a much higher level.

Good summary. I do hope GBB comes back. Always looked forward to his post game analysis.

I agree with a lot of what you say, and I am optimistic, too. Brissett was solid, and O-line got better as game went on.

Oh, he's lurking. Stop lurking GBB. Chopped Wood is sorry, he is an emotional little girl when it comes to the Colts. Everybody was upset. You know you have a whole analysis written up after that debacle and you are just dying to post it.

I am so fucking offended by this. I have been thinking about stopping posting for a long time, trying to battle back from the difficult times of not being able to post at my emotional best has been hard, I know I've given it everything I had it's just time for me to move on without posts here. Seeing people like you typing these negative things, I have to be honest, it hurts.

He left in a huff over people daring to be mad at Luck. Surprised he doesn't have a job with the local media.

Yeah, that was one of the snowflakiest displays I’ve ever seen.

Not to mention, if he swore off this board because of the sentiments on Luck, he swore off every Colts board, because those same sentiments were on every board I saw.

We all did. But alas some people are too pussified for this forum. Sherck, where are you?

[YDFL Commish]

I'm encouraged that, yes...we showed we have a good team. The run defense struggles early, were I believe the normal 1st game rustiness, late it was fatigue, I think Tyquan Lewis could have helped there, and with the lack of inside pass rush.

At some point Reich will have to hand the keys to Brissett.

I like that we played disciplined football.

Why does Matthew Adams play? Just go with a 3 safety look on all but short yardage and goal line.

Definitely disappointed in the ST play. AV cost us this game. Why does he always have his worst games vs SD...in 2 different stadiums no less?

Funchess and Cain make us much better at WR.
