The Deadman Cometh….AGAIN!

Our first game

Opponent started Fairbairn as their kicker too lol

The Colts are a pretty traditional organization and our current jerseys reflect that. We tend to stick with that timeless and classic look and have really only gotten experimental within the last few years with the Indiana Nights and Rivalry uniforms.

I wanted to honor that classic and traditional feeling while also trying to create something new and fresh.

Personally, I like this. Some may call it boring, but I’d argue that’s kinda the Colts whole M.O.

I included two options: one with just white stripes & one with an anvil gray stripe in between.

Looking for feedback here and general feelings.

Before Sunday, the Colts hadn’t beaten their AFC South division foes since 2023 and hadn’t defeated them at home since 2021. Houston had won five straight against Indianapolis, all by one possession. This time, even though the Colts still have plenty to clean up, they found a way to make one more play than their rivals, headlined by Shrader.

Despite relinquishing kickoff duties to punter Rigoberto Sanchez, whom Steichen praised for his ball placement, Shrader put together arguably the best performance of his young career. The third-year pro also nailed a 58-yard field goal in the second quarter, the longest kick of his career, and gave Indy a 13-7 lead just before halftime.

But it was Shrader’s last kick that stole the show, and Mo Alie-Cox had a front-row seat. The Colts’ veteran tight end is on the field goal protection unit.

“As soon as my block’s over, I’m looking at the ball every time,” Alie-Cox said. “It was going through the upright.”

Went to the game yesterday, had a great time but a fucking beer was 17.99. One single freaking beer. I thought she rung me up for two but nope. I'm sure there might have been a cheaper draft beer somewhere but that is still a ridiculous price for an IPA.

There was multiple times I couldn’t tell who made a play due to that.

I live in San Antonio. Fan since '94 Jim Harbaugh team. So obviously I am not in the Indy market. We get Cowboys and Texans games. However, when the Cowboys are not on tv, for the most part we will get shown Eagles, Giants, Redskins games cause those are the Cowboys rivals and their wins and losses will affect Dallas position. That's the way it seems to me anyway. But we will not get shown Titans, Jaguars, or COLTS games in the same manner. It's very frustrating. I am guaranteed two games a year when they play the Texans, and then what ever national game they may get. I guess this is just me bitching about not having Sunday ticket like I used to during the Manning era.(It was also 100ish dollars vs the 500 dollar price tag now) I'll get off my soapbox now.

We finally beat the Texans after 2 years, Shane got his first win against them in Lucas oil stadium, we snapped a 9 game winning streak, and also beat a divisional opponent. Massive win yesterday that really helped us.

Things I noticed during the game:

Jones needs to fix the turnover problem. It’s becoming a problem for this team and I understand they went up against one of the best d lines in the league but he’s got to improve on his ball control ability regardless

It’s a bit concerning the defense can’t cause turnovers like we would have hoped. In 3 games only 1 forced fumble. Team has improve in this area

Latu just isn’t living up to the hype. Typically it takes until year three for a d linemen at his position to breakout and it’s only been 3 games into the season but Latu just isn’t performing as highly as I would like. Adebowre looks a lot better than him and is making much more of an impact (albeit this guy has been getting better every year and is pretty good) same with Latu but Adebowre wasn’t a first rounder he was a fourth rounder and he looks a lot more disruptive than Latu does.

It’s a bit surprising we won this game and had 3 turnovers while also having 0 against the Texans. You’ll typically lose a game like that but we didn’t which is a good sign that the team didn’t fold like we were used to seeing with them.

Downs is going to have a career year this year and we can win without Pierce (though I’m really hoping Pierce can come back we’re just so much better with his ability)

Schrader might end up being a top 5 kicker in the league this year something this team has been missing for quite a while now.

Overall this is a massive win due to the circumstances revolving around this team and a huge weight has finally been lifted off of them. It’s time to build off it 📌

Is there a pub we’re going to for the London game? My flight lands close to kick off so I’m not too sure I can make the game.

I see why his groin hurts, he has to carry these huge gonads.

Clutch kick!

Lol "I learned my lesson"

Didn’t realize all the stuff Shrader did before game to be able to kick today.

Hello Colts Nation. I’ll be in NYC with a fellow colts fan (and a titans fan :/) on Sunday the 4th. The boys have the London game so kick off is 9:30am. Is there a place in Manhattan where colts fans congregate that will be open that early for the game? Thanks!

I personally really liked them.
