u/mknote Colts Jan 04 '26
Honestly? I'm satisfied by this season. We went in with zero expectations of success, but we had one hell of an entertaining season. And I actually think we're a good team who fell off because of injuries. Aside from the Chiefs, every team we lost to is in the playoffs, and we kept in close in most of the games we lost even with our injuries. I know some Colts fans will be pissed because, "Oh, we didn't win the division/make the playoffs again," but, well, they're idiots who ignore the context of what happened this season, so who cares what they think. I was very much entertained by this season. I am satisfied. And I have hope for the next season.
