Bad things that happened today:

1) As I predicted, C.J. Stroud is a really good QB. Longest interceptionless streak to start a career.

what an insufferable cunt you are.

like how do you look at yourself in the mirror and be like "yeah, this is who i want to be"

No, I'd rather have been wrong about Stroud. Glad Lawrence is regressing, though.

A Colts fan? Yes, that is who I want to be. When the other teams in the AFC South look bad, I enjoy that. When it looks like they found good players, I don't enjoy that. Sorry you're more invested in Trevor Lawrence's success than the Colts' success. Seems like quite a few here are.

Greetings from Baltimore where I was at the game.

Holy shit, that’s all I’ve got.

I was at the Colts/broncos game in Denver last year, but this one feels so much more satisfying.

This is the most satisfying win for me since the Kansas City game last year. Great great win.

Minshew is a great backup QB. Tough, steady, understands and accepts his role. It would be damn near impossible not to like the guy.

As great as Minshew was the game highlighted the elements you miss with not having AR back there.

It was good to see Bradley break tendencies on some key downs and bring extra pressure. That’s good coaching and preferably to “we do what we do”. With the lack of experience in the secondary disruptive pressure is even more important.

Brents looks like he had a good first game. He looked quick in space and physical. Secondary needs it.

I’m happy with Moss as RB1. Obviously would prefer to pair him with JT, but Moss has shown why the team has taken the “prove it” stance they have. Tough, solid player. You can win with what he brings.

Ebukam was a good signing.

Gay was a great signing.

A couple decisions for Steichen that would have had guys calling for Reich’s head. Also obvious the team plays hard for him and he’ll coach to win. Very happy with the overall coaching so far.

What section were you in? There were a LOT of colts fans there. half our entire section were colts fans.

This, to me anyway, this win is on what Steichen has brought to this team. Good coaches know how to win and seem to instill that in their team. We would have never won a game like this in the past few years.

On another note did Ballard finally hit on a cornerback? Brents looked pretty damn comfortable hitting folks today.

I want JT back but Moss shows exactly why you don’t give long term contracts to running backs.

The offensive line continues to surprise me, i had lost faith but am loving watching myself be completely wrong.

Shaq seems to be moving better each game. He has been through a hell of a lot and to keep making progress is a nice testament to the man.

For the first time in I can’t remember we are actually getting pressure on the QB. That is a prerequisite to being a real competitive team. Nice.

This season will prove that Ballard has built a team that could compete with reliable quarterback play.

Sorry you seem more invested in the success of Stroud than of Richardson and the Colts.
