The 1977 Colts were considerably better than the 1989 Colts. The 1977 Colts were a bonafide Super Bowl contender. Eric Dickerson almost single-handedly carried the Colts to respectability for 4 consecutive seasons between 1987 and 1990. I believe that this 2023 Colts team has essentially been playing with house money since Anthony Richardson went down with an injury early in the season. o

Agreed. No comparison between 77' and 89' except for the circumstances going in to the last weekend regarding a playoff birth. If not for Carr's injury I believe that 77' team goes to the Super Bowl. They fought like heck tho to come back against the Pats regardless of the early whistle. Conversely, I recall how disappointed I was in the 89' Colts not showing up against the Saints with so much on the line and the distinct impression that the loss didn't sting them afterwards.

It's great that the Colts get this prime time game, I'll be surprised if they show up!

I have yet to see a single pundit predict the Colts will win this game.
It’s almost uncanny. I’ve seen probably 10 predictions and every single one picks the Texans. I get the whole “in a close matchup, always go with the better quarterback” but still, being at home should count for SOMETHING. |

Granted Stroud has developed a lot since then, but both teams have improved. |

Plus, AR won't be a bolt of lightning on back-to-back TD runs to give us a 14-point lead six minutes into the game. It's going to be different. That said, we should beat them. Minshew ended up playing almost the full game and did well. Three long drives to build up a 31-10 lead. And that's when Stroud got most of his yardage, as we played clock ball. I hope they're locked in. |
