I only got to see about ten minutes, could you bullet some good and bad points? Was Freeney playing OLB?

He was playing outside Lb but left in first quarter with an ankle injury. I did not see it all but my impressions of what I did see they did not run the ball enough, Donald Brown missed two wide open catches on third down that would have been first downs. O line is pretty bad. Luck made some bad passes especially in redzone and Adam V missed a chip shot before half. Main difference in this game was Colts 5 turnovers and Bears 1

Great to get the first win in the new era. Hopefully beat the Jags and go into the bye week 2-1. Maybe get Angerer and Freeney back for the Packers game. Luck put together a nice game winning drive in only about 20 seconds.

I was hoping that the Gabbert would be the Jags QB next week but apparently they are going with Henne. Agree that it was good to see a game winning drive again. Colts will still be painful this year but these rays of sunshine are good to see.

I thought they might have sit on it and took it to OT but they let him come out and sling it. No doubt, going to be a few more bumps in the road and some ugly games probably but I just want to see improvement week to week.

Deserved to lose this game, D just can't hold up. Give up a 80 yd TD pass with only 46 in the game and they have 0 timeouts. Bye week, Packers so 1-3. Then a stretch of possible wins. Hopefully get some guys back. Collie probably done for the year, and maybe for good.

Look on the bright side of things. This game took another month of Jones-Drew's career (# of carries) and saved Gabbert's job for at least 3 more months. Also, the last 2 Colts' offensive series continue to add to Luck's development.

Ha MJD is a Colt killer, he kills us every single time. Luck is money is the 2 minute. He is better right now than I ever thought he would be. The D help up for a while but they just can't finish it, especially with Freeney, Angerer and Davis out. Next game we should have all 3 back. I worry about Satele, I hope his injury is not serious.

Next 5 games, are win able games.
at Jets
Brown
at Titans
Dolphins
at Jags

These 5 games will decide if this team is picking in the top 10 or potentially competing for a wild card.

I'd say the Colts go 2-3 in that stretch. The defense is still a huge liability and Luck will have more problems on the road than at home. But no matter what happens, I am pleased to see the products of Luck's development + better coaching.

If that's the case then this team will be picking in the top 10. Remember yesterday they were without their starting CB and nickelback. Also Angerer was also out. Get all them back healthy and I think they will be ok. He will still have problems but I trust him to learn quickly from his mistakes, they have only played 1 road game so far.

Yes, I knew that Davis and King were out. I wasn't able to watch the game yesterday but it seems they made an adjustment at half to bring more pressure - nothing to lose at that point. That paid off but could have also have led to big plays.

One game at a time. Jets offense sucks and Revis no longer in the secondary. Winnable but tough at Meadowlands - Colts almost never play good there.

I am mainly worried about a let down more than anything else. Holmes is out for them on offense so that helps also. Maybe the Texans kill any will they have tonight.

I felt this team would be in the 6 win range, with a chance to push for 8. Still feel about that way, although I wouldn't mind a top 10 pick.

I'd like to get a face for our future defense opposite Luck on O.

If they would have beat Jacksonville they would be 3-1 right now and I would be saying they could be in the hunt for a wildcard, I think that could still be the case but probably unlikely.

Who would you have in mind, Jarvis Jones?

Brown and Mathis are out 2-3 weeks.
