Feeling good
The 'feel' I get for this team reminds me of the Shula/Griese Dolphins. Griese wasn't spectacular, didn't put up incredible numbers even for those times, but always seemed to make the right play. He didn't have a great arm but it was plenty good enough. They got a lead and ran you into the ground. The defense was starless (noname) but effective. I know they are totally different teams but man they have the same feel for me.
Steichen seems to have found his groove as a head coach. The team finally has some discipline-a difficult thing with this age of prima donnas. It has to help that we finally seem to have some veteran leadership (Jones sets a great example, Ward is a hard ass at CB and Nelson has stepped up with the loss of Kelly according to reports) within the ranks. Add to this how he has handled Mitchell (consequences for being a fucktard. Let's hope Mitchell learns and all this is part of the growing process) When Bachie screwed up he was out of the game it seem to be a trend that the Colts won't stand for this crap. Like all organizations it has to start at the top with Carlie-we may have gotten lucky here.
