    I think the Colts win is their best because coming off of two losses with bad defensive play, and they were an underdog at home and not many people thought they were going to win. Most people thought they were going to get blown out.

    We have wins against the patriots and Vikings, (who every so called expert had us losing to), but the Colts were at the height of their powers and we basically punched them in the mouth

    I agree. We kicked their @$$. It was only a one score game because of garbage time stupidity by Wilson. Danny Dimes beat us a few times with the outside flood play (our guys are either too shallow in the first level or too deep on the back end) and for some reason we give up every 4th down conversion…. but we stopped a highly talented receiving TE after being owned by TE’s this year. We held Taylor to 45 yards rushing. Our front 7 absolutely overwhelmed the Colts front and caused a ton of turnovers (the only fluke being the punt that we didn’t even score on). We’ve been trash defensively the last couple weeks, but not today. The defense owned an offense that had been nothing but excellent all year long. Definitely felt good.

    Now if Tomlin could only figure out how to not be a Jekyll and Hyde show… I was pretty certain we were about to see the yearly Tomlin three game slide, but they came out today and showed out.

    That's a fair point and for the reasons you gave I'll say this was their most important win of the season as it could help spring us towards a divisional championship as opposed to falling off of a cliff; today proved there'sf ight in this team. And it was probably their most impressive win as the game wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicated. I'm still leaning that the Patriots win was the better win as I view the Patriots as a better team than the Colts.

    As good of a win this was it’s still far from a complete game. The O stalled inside the 5. Gave up 300+ passing yards. Running game was an anemic 38 yds. Still work to do but it’s a good start

    Funny thing is, NOW I wonder if the Colts were really a quality team. Maybe they were a bit of a mirage, much like the Steelers were the first 5 weeks.

    It's Daniel Jones at QB after all. Maybe he's taking a Darnold turn, but most of his career he's been subpar to just par.

    I know that everybody says that the colts are the hottest team in the league right now, or were. But they are a lot like the Vikings of last year imo. Their schedule is filled with low end teams. The only two teams that they've played that are looking decent this year and they won are the broncos and the chargers. But they also played the broncos in week two before they got their crap together.

    I don't think they're a bad team, I just think that there's several teams out there that are much better.

    its always luck when we win and force a bunch of turnovers. We didn’t even score on the muffed punt possession. Total beat down.

    They have had the weakest schedule since the 1975 Vikings or something like that. What a patty cake schedule indeed.

    Colts may have had softer schedule but they beat down many of the teams they played. Also had wins against the Broncos and Chargers.

    After the last two weeks to not be another notch on their belt feels pretty good to me. Work to do, but that was no soft win.
