NIce that they're all healthy scratches, but kind of tired of having Evans on the roster and not getting him on the field.

[Science Friction]

So, I guess we are all back on the "Not Tanking " Train. That was a Crazy Train to be on anyways.

[*Awful Llama*]

Seems like a long time since Monday night, so a happy game day to everyone. Make sure you have some avocados handy. Not only are they good luck, they also make excellent projectiles should the need arise.

[Joelist]

We drew Shawn Hoculi’s crew, brace yourselves for refs inserting themselves into the game.

The players are definitely NOT Tanking.

I saw some footage from the Bengals/Jags game that allowed viewers to hear what the players were saying and the Bengal

players were FIRED UP late in the game. Defensive players watching the offense, players talking while playing etc.

They Fiercely wanted to WIN!!!!!

It would be very hard for Coaches not to do everything they could to Win with players all around them that are that Fired up.

This Team wants it...

This might change again in another 3 hours…

Hold me

[*michaelsean*]

No idea what to expect from the offense. No idea what to expect from the defense. Really haven’t seen Indy much this year. A 20 point game either way would not shock me. And I better not see another double pass. The best one went for -8.

Also not a crazy train to be on at all before last week, our backup QBs had shown nothing so why not hope for a higher draft pick.

Now the backups shown something and we got some hope, lets hope we still have hope after today.

Watched all but overtime of last weeks Colts Titans game and the Colts did not look like a good football team. Rather they won by a SLEW of bad self inflicted errors by the Titans and a couple of week calls by the officials.

Sorta on it because just making the playoffs with no chance of a SB means very little to me. That being said, it’s not like I can root for the Bengals to lose. Except once.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Run the ball. Make sure Joe Mixon gets a lot of rushes early THEN start throwing more.

Hey I've got the game, sweet

That's a legit evaluation of the situation.
