Colts fans prepare for the pounding

I went browsing the Colts fan sites to gauge how they feel about the Panthers game.

From what I gathered, the Colts fans have one unified message for the Panthers:

"I'll be shocked if we keep this game close. Seriously. This one could be ugly. I'll be surprised if we keep it within 10 points. Hell, I'll be surprised if we even score 10 points!

I'll say Panthers win 31-9. I don't see Luck or our offense doing anything against these guys sadly. This game might be the game that costs peoples jobs...."

"Shut out. Cam manages to put up 25."

"I'll say 28-10 Panthers. Josh Norman has been crazy for the Panthers this year, and I believe he will shut down TY Hilton. I don't see much offense from us and we will get whipped pretty handily."

"panthers 35 to 0 at the half. Luck has two pick sixes from staring down hilton and gore only gets five carries. Luck goes on on scoring fest in second half but too little too late as we lose 35 to 28." 

"It's going to be ugly. Going into their house on a Monday night against one of the best if not the best LB units, top it off with a really good QB that can run the option. I agree with a few of the other posts, I think this game will cost JOBS, although the embarrassment from Sunday should've cost jobs. This game will be over by mid 2nd quarter. Colts-10 Panthers-38."

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
