Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
Great surprise season, I thought their O-line would be their downfall but they seem to have patched it together somehow. I think they are a play off team and they are fun to watch, really impressed with what Ryan Grigson has done and is really looking forward to what he can do next year in free agency when the Colts have 40+ million to spend.
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
Another win for Indy. Luck looked a little shaky in the first half and threw a couple times into double coverage, but a win is a win. This one was all defense and special teams. Well coached game with enough big plays to win a game I thought they would lose.
7-4
@Detroit
vs Tennessee
@Houston
@Kansas City
vs Houston
Looking at the remaining schedule I see the Colts going 3-2. Withs wins vs Tenn, @ KC, and vs Hou. I'm think we win vs Hou just because by then Hou will already have a first round bye locked up and probably homefield advantage. It's time that the karma of letting inferior teams beat them because they sat all starters in week 17 actually turns in our favor. If the Colts can steal one @ Det next, I see no reason to not think they get a home game in the WC round.
What an amazing season to follow so far. This has been the most excited regular season for to watch since 1999 (worst to first 10 game turnaround).

I knew that. No idea what I was thinking when I typed it though... :alcohol:
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
Football Outsiders (sort of like Baseball Prospectus for football) has Indy 28th in the NFL in their DVOA ratings:

They have them ranked as the league's worst defense. As a Bengals fan I'm hoping the Colts somehow lose 3-4 more games (probably unlikely with that schedule.) Any thoughts on that DVOA ranking from people that watch them every week?
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
The Colts have 5 games remaining and I could see them losing all of them. I think they get a little help playing the Texans at home the last game of the season when Houston should have everything wrapped up. More likely I see them going 2-3 or 3-2. For some reason I can see KC giving them troubles. KC is a doormat by they play at Arrowhead and I wonder how this team would do playing outdoors in the cold.
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
This years Colts team is last years Bengals, they will make the playoffs and get smoked. I think it's great that they are winning and probably going to the playoffs but ultimately it will just delay their rebuild another season. The Colts as a franchise would have been better off going 3-13 and getting another season of high draft picks.
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
Is there any concern that your coach could be ready to go for next year and Arians leaves to take another job since he has been pretty impressive in this situation?
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
Luck is unbelievable but the Lions coaching staff should be fired tonight IMO.

Arians is like 60 years old, not many teams are interested in a 60+ year old first time head coach.
Re: 2012 Indianapolis Colts discussion....a new era
The Colts could still win their division. It would take some luck(no pun intended), but it is a possibility. Houston plays New England next week. The 'shoes have two games remaining with the Texans. Just sayin'
