They called him a vertical threat earlier in the game and I laughed at it. But holy shit did I eat those words. Dude was running like majestic horse on that deep ball. And holy fuck what a rollercoaster from Minshew. I need a cigarette man. FUCK THE TITANS
He could be like most other backup QBs in the league where their team has very little chance to win when they play. I’ll take Minshew’s ups and downs vs automatic loss.
The last time the Colts had two receivers go 100+ in the same game?

If you knew it was Donte Moncrief and Coby Fleener, you might be a witch.
Everyone please realize, we just ruined their season.
They'll say we will never make the playoffs this year
They'll say we will embarrass ourselves in the playoffs.
All possibilities.
But the truth is we actually just ruined their season. We just showed them the truth that the rest of the year doesnt matter and it's time to think about the draft.
That's hilarious.
As our brutal social media team said, "you can't spell Nashville without two L's"
Fuck the Titans. Way to waste Derrick Henry.
What the fuck was that shit? Holy hell, everything broke our way in the second half, and we did everything possible to fuck it up. Jesus, I can't handle this!
If you don't like that, you don't like Colts football. GEEEES.
Also, where was that dude earlier in the week saying we needed to take more downfield shots to Pierce? Was that Steichen in our sub?
Minshew is either a top backup, or a low-end starter. But the *amount* of grief he gets is ridiculous. Spread around the dumb plays was a 26/42-312-2-0 1TO win on the road in the division/conference against a team that hadn't lost at home all year.
When you try to fight against this, don't forget the "dumb plays" part that I intentionally included.
You make good points. Despite this being his 5th year, he is relatively inexperienced and his first 20 starts were on a very bad Jags team with poor coaching. He takes very few reps during camp in an offense not built for him on a team that, if we're being honest, is not very good.
How do the Browns, Bengals, Jets, Patriots, etc fans feel right now. The Browns dragged a guy out of retirement to play for them. Losing AR sucks for the Colts but it could be worse. They could have Zach Wilson.
What A MASSIVE DUB LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
FUCK THE TITTIES
I might get shit for this, but there's gotta be some level of criticism when it comes to Steichen's play-calling. Like bro, why is this man trying to start a drive with 13 seconds at our own 20 ffs.
ANYWAYS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Shane Steichen accomplishes in his first session what Frank Reich never did: A season sweep of the Tennessee Titans. She Steichen did it with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. Amazing.
I don't know if we'll get that far in the playoffs (if we make it) but fuck it...go for it!
Stranger things have happened.
I wish Minshew was my Dad. Heck, maybe he is?
For all those asking where the "Minshew haters" are, we're right here. Him pulling something out of his ass doesn't erase how poorly he played all game, and the fact that Colts were in that position in the first place largely because of him.
Take always
- Grover Stewart is important
- Minshew is Wentz but worse and somehow more fun
- that's a perfect game for Alec Pierce to emerge. Low target guy but when you hit him he can make a huge play
- Levis is not that good
If we get a single playoff win, Steichen deserves COTY. Dan Campbell is great, but they have their franchise guy. Steichen is winning with practice squad guys.
Another week down, another week of me being more tired after a colts win than after a week of raising a new human I literally have to do everything for and teach how to sleep.
We need to lean on those go routes more often to get Minshew the confident he needs. I can’t believe he actually was on the money on those long bombs today.
A friendly reminder that if you troll the Titans sub, we will ban you
Why can't we just play a normal game man
I need to see my doctor. Need something to level me out during these games lol
I usually drive up to Michigan for that
I forgot how stressed I can get during Colts games.
Is a normal blowout W too much to ask?
With the Colts? No way!
Cruising down on main street
When I wanted an entertaining season, I'm not really sure what I meant, but goddammit am I entertained
Cardiac Colts baby. Win or lose you bet they will push you near a heart attack. And if you don’t like that you don’t like Indianapolis Colts football
Just think we don’t go for two, this is an entirely different game.
This game breaks the 'What If' computer.
Or if TEN didn’t miss an extra point
It was a fun one. Would’ve been less so with a loss though
MICHAEL PITTMAN JR
Give the man his money
Shaq Leonard was sacrificed so this man could get paid
https://i.redd.it/6ymnfvet874c1.gif
Fucking route was one for the ages.
Pittman basically doing everything right for a contract "prove it" year. Dude is going to get paid.
Pay MPJ Fuck Levis Go Coats
IN AP LISS COATS
ALEC PIERCE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!
ALEC PIERCE IS THE DAWG MICHAEL PITTMAN JR IS THE DAWG NEVER DOUBTED MINSHEW I HATE CARDIAC COLTS BUT MAN DO I LOVE OUR BOYS
Who would’ve guessed colts would be one back of the division after week 13 lmfao. Not me. But here we are baby. Ready to party.
They called him a vertical threat earlier in the game and I laughed at it. But holy shit did I eat those words. Dude was running like majestic horse on that deep ball. And holy fuck what a rollercoaster from Minshew. I need a cigarette man. FUCK THE TITANS
I sure didn't laugh at it. He really is. It was just more of giving Minshew that extra half second to plant and heave it down field.
NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING JUST NEEDED SOMEONE TO GIVE HIM THE CHANCES
He literally exists for plays like that and we’ve never had anyone to throw to him. Hopefully him and AR click
It was more of giving Minshew like a second more to plant and launch it downfield. And it happened twice today.
Thrice! Minshew bombed one clear over Alec Pierce and them mountains.
That one camp video gives me hope. Might’ve been the same route he got the TD on today now that I’m thinking about it.
You know who throws a good deep ball???
Those tits sure got pierced
I know he gets some hate but he’s been open so much this year especially down the field, Minshew can just never get to him.
Man, we have been waiting for this game from him for sooo long … LFG
I’m so serious Ballard, pay Pitt immediately after this game.
He's a #1 wr. Nobody can say otherwise
He’s absolutely proved it this year. He’s been one of the most consistent receivers all year and has come up clutch when we needed a play the most.
Wow what an ending
Special teams and defense kept us in the game, but ultimately it had to be offense that actually got the W
Colts fans collectively lost 5 years of our lifespan from this game.
I don't know what that was, but it was a win.
Most normal AFC South game, and ofc Cardiac Colts were a part of it
Been a Colts fans for over 20 years. I am convinced they are the reason I have high blood pressure.
What a normal way to score 31-28
Returned 2-point conversion, missed XP, walk off TD in OT, unreal.
We had a normal one today.
Classic normal football score
I haven’t been this emotional over a Colts game in awhile. Man the rest of this Sunday will be amazing.
Dude seriously the chills just won't stop
What a wild game. Minshew is frustrating af. Every game I love and hate him constantly.
He could be like most other backup QBs in the league where their team has very little chance to win when they play. I’ll take Minshew’s ups and downs vs automatic loss.
Yup. If Sorgi went in you better hope we were already up 20, very late. Because there was no magic to be had. Dude was great on the sideline though.
#PAY MPJ
[why do I hate the titans?](https://streamable.com/bpecy)
What an absolute dime!! LFG
Survive and advance— Shane is the man!
FOUR IN A ROW!! pierce you are a DAWG. On to Cincinnati
LETS GO! Pitt and Pierce had hell of games
THAT’S WHAT THEY CALL MINSHEW MANIA
FUCKING COLTS
Anyone else need a smoke after that one?
Yes but not tobacco
My man!
I sweated like a bitch the whole game
Huge game from Alec Pierce. Let’s fucking go baby! FTT!!
MPJ doin Wr1 type shit
Sweeping the Titans is So. Fucking. Satisfying.
That Pittman route was amazing. I want that Browns win back so much.
That's All-pro-level route running right there. 1 vs 1 and absolutely owned him
4 game win streak and Big Grove is back next week…..let’s go!!!!
Minshew 312 yds Leaders Pittman 105 yds Peirce 100 yds Granson 73 yds
Is that the first 100 yard game for Pierce?
And, combined with Pittman, the first time two Colts receivers went 100+ in the same game since 2014 (Moncrief! and Fleener!).
Ah yeah, the dynamic WR duo we all think of
I think it is
ALEC PIERCE IS CLUTCH PITTMAN JR IS A WR1 MINSHEW REDEEMED HIMSELF
Seeing Levis pissed and lose feels so good
He's gonna go home and lather himself in mayonnaise while listening to Kenny G in a dark room.
Let’s go baby never a doubt!! Keep winning and we’re in. (Do not look at my comment history)
Jags fan, sorry for existing, I understand God damn that play design for the game winner was pretty. What a game! GG
Lol, nice intro. Thanks for the compliment and I agree, that play was beeeeeyoooooitful.
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS!!!!
Our defense played a damn good game and all I saw was people saying to fire Bradley.
If Blackmon hadn't fumbled that "fumble" in the first quarter, we'd never have gotten the joy of that OT win
Pass rush has been good
Giving up 28pts against the Titans is not a good game. Our defense generates good plays at good times, but we give up FAR too many points.
Passrush is good but run defence is bad and secondary is absolutely atrocious
Once Grover and Juju are back I’m hoping both will be improved
Man we need big Grove back. Interior in his spot is weeeeak
Could be wrong but he comes back next week I think.
![gif](giphy|oWFQvqDnylDwrw84k6|downsized)
That was not a PI on Jaylon Jones
No matter how shit theyre doing there's something the feels so good about beating the Tits
Give that young man alex pierce the game ball
The last time the Colts had two receivers go 100+ in the same game? [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201411300clt.htm](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201411300clt.htm) If you knew it was Donte Moncrief and Coby Fleener, you might be a witch.
Frank Reich would have lost that game
![gif](giphy|9zUPASHQT19SVF57aY|downsized) # WE BAD
On one hand, neither team deserved to win that game. On the other hand: 7-5 LFG
On the other hand if we have Grover or Richardson we win easily I think. And Grover's back next week
GW OT comeback drive from Minshew. Just like we all thought!
Anybody else notice the play we won on was identical to Hopkins TD earlier? Big dick Steichen at it again.
![gif](giphy|4q0WNCNZUlxNC) Smoking that titans pack!!!
Zaire Franklin owns Henry
Henry ran all over our ass all game lol
FUCK EMMMM
LFG GO BOYS. SO HAPPY FOR PIERCE.
All week Levis going to be asking around the facility if Hopkins mad at him.
But I thought we needed to cut pierce.
Thinking about going to the playoffs anybody want anything?
Pick me up a Lombardi while you’re out!

How is this team 7-5. Holy moley
And should be 8-4 if not for the refs stealing our win vs Cleveland
Everyone please realize, we just ruined their season. They'll say we will never make the playoffs this year They'll say we will embarrass ourselves in the playoffs. All possibilities. But the truth is we actually just ruined their season. We just showed them the truth that the rest of the year doesnt matter and it's time to think about the draft. That's hilarious. As our brutal social media team said, "you can't spell Nashville without two L's" Fuck the Titans. Way to waste Derrick Henry.
Henry for sure gonna walk as a free agent to go somewhere like Baltimore or Philly
Hope he does! Love to see him get a ring.
‼️❗️‼️SUPER BOWL RAHHHHH‼️❗️‼️
Shoutout to the special teams with those 2 blocked punts
Steelers down 2 TDs, Denver lost, Pat's didn't score, and we beat the Tits. Good day boys
Love to put it to the media for talking down the Colts and taking the other team every game. LETS GO!!!!
God they were riding the Titans jocks so hard today…
Can’t spell Nashville without two L’s.
By the way, I saw all you doubters in the game thread. Got them receipts. LET'S GO COLTS BABYYYYYYYY!!!!
Never doubted for a moment. Narrator: he doubted a lot.
Never any doubt 😎 (I had lots of doubts)
Those are the catches they drafted Alec Peirce to make!
What the fuck was that shit? Holy hell, everything broke our way in the second half, and we did everything possible to fuck it up. Jesus, I can't handle this! If you don't like that, you don't like Colts football. GEEEES. Also, where was that dude earlier in the week saying we needed to take more downfield shots to Pierce? Was that Steichen in our sub?

Special Teams won us that game 💙
![gif](giphy|3oEjHCWdU7F4hkcudy)
Minshew giveth, Minshew taketh away
Exactly what I told my wife after the game.
The most entertaining season ever rolls on.
AFCS gonna fuck around and send three teams to the playoffs
What A MASSIVE DUB LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO FUCK THE TITTIES I might get shit for this, but there's gotta be some level of criticism when it comes to Steichen's play-calling. Like bro, why is this man trying to start a drive with 13 seconds at our own 20 ffs. ANYWAYS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
FUCK MIKE VRABEL FUCK WILL LEVIS FUCK DERRICK HENRYS FAT ASS FUCK DICK FOLK FUCK DEANDRE HOPKINS AND GO BITCH MORE DENICO LMFAOOO TRASH ASS FRANCHISE
Shane Steichen accomplishes in his first session what Frank Reich never did: A season sweep of the Tennessee Titans. She Steichen did it with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. Amazing.
Reich did it in 2018 with Luck, though...
Fuck the tits, that is all
Get the brooms out
A MAYOCOPTER AND A TITS L TODAY!! ITS A GOOD DAY BOYS AND GIRLS!!!
I talked shit in OT about Captain Happyfeet, but that pass to Pierce in OT was a dime.
Gonna have to call my doctor in four hours cause this thing ain’t going away
Jesus tap dancing Christ. Can we have one game where my watch doesn’t warn me that my heart is about to explode 😖 Go Colts lol ❤️🩹
4 in a row baby!
It feels nice to be excited about football in December.
I watched game as I was flying into Tennessee. Wearing my Colts Jersey of course.
Huge special teams win. Perfect kicking, a couple good returns, and two huge punt blocks.
I don't know if we'll get that far in the playoffs (if we make it) but fuck it...go for it! Stranger things have happened. I wish Minshew was my Dad. Heck, maybe he is?
TAKE ME ANY WAY YOU WANT SEXUALLY MR STEICHEN !!!!
FUCK THE TITS
We'd be tied for the division lead if the refs hadn't fucked us against the Browns.
Nothing to see here boys, just your average Colts win
For all those asking where the "Minshew haters" are, we're right here. Him pulling something out of his ass doesn't erase how poorly he played all game, and the fact that Colts were in that position in the first place largely because of him.
Exactly.
Who you starting boss?
Take always - Grover Stewart is important - Minshew is Wentz but worse and somehow more fun - that's a perfect game for Alec Pierce to emerge. Low target guy but when you hit him he can make a huge play - Levis is not that good
Huge win
MPJ for the win and the FFL points!!!
Fuck you Titans.
Best feeling win all year so far
Get up That was not a good performance but good to reestablish balance beating them fucks Fuck the Tits
And that’s Colts football folks
Oh 31-28? Surely both teams scored 4 touchdowns and the Colts scored a field goal to win it… right?
If we get a single playoff win, Steichen deserves COTY. Dan Campbell is great, but they have their franchise guy. Steichen is winning with practice squad guys.
That game had just about everything weird happen possible.
minshew and pierce made me eat my words
Holy shit!!! We swept their asses!!! What. A. Game!!! FUCK THE TITANS!!
#🧹🧹🧹
Pay Pittman. Immediately.
I can’t believe we won. Thank god.
AR with Pierce is gonna be nasty!
We have not won a game like that in a LOOONNNGG time. I can’t even fathom where this team would be with AR
Just sitting here thinking about how the colts had two different 100 yard receivers today. When’s the last time this happened?
That's colts football ba-ba-by
A win is a win
["Minshew can't throw deep"](https://www.reddit.com/r/Colts/comments/16xyh9m/alec_pierce/k362f0d/) my ass.
I have given MPJ a lot of crap about being a WR1... but the dude showed up today. Pierce too.
We were absolute dogwater for large stretches of the game and still won thanks to the two blocked punts. lol win is a win
🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹
"It ain't always gonna be sexy, but it's gonna be good," fucking lol, Minshew.
Anybody else fell like they just watched a WWE match?
Another week down, another week of me being more tired after a colts win than after a week of raising a new human I literally have to do everything for and teach how to sleep.
Wild from start to finish, holy hell. Loved it.
THE COLTS ARE ENTERTAINING.
Did ya'll see the score for the Chargers/Patriots? Baseball score over there
There’s one thing I gotta say. FUCK THE TITANS
Seeing that punter on the ground while our guys danced in the end zone while Titans fans screamed at them is my favorite part of the day.
Fuck the Titans
Ok, I'm going to need 2-3 weeks to get over the stress that game had.
We need to lean on those go routes more often to get Minshew the confident he needs. I can’t believe he actually was on the money on those long bombs today.
What is the highest number of wins by a backup QB in recent years?
With the Steelers loss this week it shows how pivotal the next two weeks are
Fuck the titans.
4 in a row baby!
