Luke Links: The "UnBeaten in October" Edition

Lukelinkslogo_medium

For the fifth time in six years, the Colts are unbeaten in September and October. Though the combined record of the teams Indy has played to start the season is an underwhelming 11-26, with the best team (record-wise) being the Cardinals, the games on Indy's schedule have resulted in two close, early contests and four blowouts. Since the Miami Dolphins game, the Colts have dominated their opponents from start to finish. Yet, most of the league isn't buying the club as an elite because Indy has not beaten a team like the Patriots, the Broncos, or the Giants, yet.

As always, whatever. I'm kind of used to media not really paying attention to the Colts. Here are the links:

Star-divide

We Colts fans often take all this winning for granted, but to win 15 in a row is a real honor. Everyone and their mother had written this team off last year, going so far as to say the "dynasty" or whatever is done. Amazing how easy it is to make stupid people look, you know, STUPID, isn't it?

Also, tonight the NBA regular season begins, with the Indiana Pacers taking on the Atlanta Hawks. Check out Indy Corn Rows for excellent Pacers and NBA coverage.

That Alex Smith thing about playing against us is weird. I guess he can go ahead and plan his career around playing us: half decent season, drop off, lose starting job, regain it in time for Colts game, repeat.

I hope Brown is okay and is able to play but I am excited to see some Mike Hart. I think he’s got a lot of big fans around here and it would be great to see him healthy and playing well. Plus, that’ll allow us to get rid of Chad Simpson (once Brown is healthy).

I'm not taking winning for granted,

I’m enjoying every second of it. It’s like Camelot. Only our shining moment isn’t going to be brief.

I completely agree.

People say that you’re only allowed to enjoy wins for 24 hours, and then you’re supposed to focus on the next opponent. Instead, I enjoy wins until at least Friday, and longer if the next opponent is easy or the last victory was especially awesome (think Pats or Chargers).

I have no problem with enjoying wins :-)

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This video right here has produced one of my favorite lines ever. It was so awesome that there has been 2 sequels. One where you must put a banana in your ear, and another where you must grab their tongues. Purely awesome.

DO NOT LOSE this week.

Niners fans are already insufferable. Seriously. Please dash their silly hopes upon the rocks of despair.

Why?

That move single-handedly destroyed your season. Why do you like it? It doesn’t make sense to me.

That move didn't single handedly destroy our season.

Matt Schaubs injuries destroyed our season.

Losing to Oakland destroyed our season.

Going 8-8 destroyed our season.

Any number of things destroyed our season.

It takes a lot more than Sage Rosencopter to destroy a season. He just helped it a bit.

And because my doesn’t hinge on the Texans season alone, I am able to look back and laugh about it.

You know, Indianapolis flying under the radar is fine with me

Less hype, more realistic expectations nationally, less carping, less pressure, less yanking of media chains from breathless wonder to dire condemnations… I like the idea of the Colts receiving less attention. Let the weight and glare of the spotlight fall on New Orleans and Denver. Let the pressure rest on their shoulders. Just let the Colts keep doing what they do: Play well and keep on finding even more ways to get better.

That all’s fine with me.

Is that a joke?!! Peyton Manning might get more media coverage than anyone in the league not named Brett Favre.

The COLTS

Yes, peyton gets a lot of attention but the colts as a team don’t get nearly the hype for their accomplishments as some other teams do..

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...

I'd kinda like to see Alex Smith do well

Not “win this week’s game well”, but “hold onto the starting job” well.

I like stories of hard work and redemption.

How can you not love a team that does this?

by LovinBlue on Oct 27, 2009 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

kinda sucks for you guys

but it sucks more for Alex Smith. I also want to see him come back and live up to the hype of a first round QB. The problem is, he faces Freeney and Mathis who will give him nightmares for years to come. he’ll wake up in sweat screaming “no…no…it can’t be…NO! IT’S THE 93!!!!!”

I hope he doesn’t get benched because of a bad game vs. indy.

Meh

I want to see Dwight Freeney rip him in half, but that’s how I feel about every quarterback in the world besides Colts and Notre Dame QBs.
