They might be a good team but their coach is clueless.  They sure did look like a much better team at the end of last year.

Hopefully, they can knock off Denver this week. Denver looked crappy again last night, imo.

The AFC West, despite being perhaps the most talented division in football, has three teams that don't know how to win games. You love to see it.

And we exposed some of the Chiefs weaknesses, as well. 

I guess the AFCW is the best division in football? I'm certainly not sold on that 100% like I was a month ago, though, ya know? 

I don't necessarily see any other division making strides to surpass it.

I might be a little off on this but I heard something like Mahommes is 45-2 when the opponent scores less than 24 pts. THe 2 losses both against the Colts.

This game just shows you that the Colts aren't as bad as they appeared vs. Jax. Yes, there were still mistakes vs. the Chiefs, but man, what a night and day difference.

This is what I am hoping for out of IU Football vs. Nebraska this Saturday. I know IU is not as NEAR as bad as they played vs. Cincy.... Definitely not 21 pts. better. jmo

Not as bad thats for sure but if they don't get that O Line fixed its going to be a long year and wins will be far and few in between. Can hope for teams to have that many miscues to help you every Sunday. I think the Colts play better with a chip on their shoulder more so than with a target on their back. Still lots of areas for improvement and if and when they sure those things up they can be very good.

That's why I won't agree the best way to beat Allen and Mahomes is to get a Mahomes and Allen with weapons. I'm perfectly content being built different. Pierce and Jelani come on and our offense is a problem for ppl. 

We're 3-2 in our last 5 vs those 2 QBs. 

Defense is damn good and its missing its best player.

I think if the Colts can sure up the OL then they have a chance to make a good run. Might as well bench Punter because he was knocked back on his butt all day today. Also bench Pryor or at least move him off of LT. Put Rainman at LT and put in Dennis Kelly at LG.

LT Rainman

LG Nelson 

C Ryan Kelly 

RG Dennis Kelly 

RT Smith

Per PFF, Pryor was the second highest rated Colt in yesterday’s game

I wonder if Mahomes is still upset with Bieniemy?  That was priceless when the camera was on them at halftime.

Mahomes is just unhappy that “Showtime” isn’t as cool as “Sleeping With” Bieniemy

Anyone see that OPI on Shepard? What an atrocious call.

The officiating crew had several really bad calls in the first half.

This game is As fun as watching the WNBA. Or told by wife #6, being married to @5fouls

Love seeing Hendershot on the stage.

[Hoosier82]

Nice to see Hendershot get his first NFL catch 

[jv1972iu]

Nice snarky comment from Aikman on Hendershot's second catch.  Buck says "Hendershot making Indiana's program proud" to which Aikman responds "It wouldn't take much".  He then immediately said "That's not fair.  Sorry."  Troy showing that he's got real jerk potential.

He didnt say anything not correct. He was taking a shot at his partner an IU grad more than IU football.

Locker room motivation material - c'mon CTA. Maybe it propels us by Nebraska?

He is not lying though.

Doesn’t matter. His comment had no relevance to the play, or the game. Just because something may be true, it doesn’t mean it needs to be said.

 I thought Aikman was more professional than to say something like that. I bet that the producers got in his ear, thus prompting the apology.

Restraint is a valuable trait these days. Unfortunately it doesn’t get practiced nearly enough

You would love it if that remark was about Purdue

I saw absolutely nothing wrong with the comment. We as a society are Charmin soft and it was the truth and not in the least bit offensive. Snarky yes but far from offensive.  I am a firm believer that if you don't want people to say things like that then change the narrative.  I hope CTA is the man to change that perception of Indiana Football

I think it's more likely that it did fit in the context of the conversation he was having with his good friend and partner, and he got in a little jab like a lot of us would do towards a buddy. Then he quickly caught himself.

In terms of nothingburgers, this is a full pound burger.

When I heard him say that I thought it was funny and shot at his buddy. Of course I wake up to some folks on twitter really making something of this. Let it go folks....it's no big deal.
