I just want to get this out there before the game starts (it's about five minutes before kickoff).
The atmosphere around Indy concerning the Colts is one of disappointment and frustration. The Colts are 0-2 and show no signs on improving. This is clearly visible this weekend, when all of downtown Indy is blanketed by Steelers fans decked out black and yellow. You can't go anywhere without seeing a "terrible towel".
It also seems like Colts fans are torn into two groups, the believers and non-believers. The believers are the ones that like to think we can still get to the playoffs and we are one of the best teams in the NFL. They also want to point out to everybody that they will always be a Colts fan, no matter what, unlike us non-believers.
As for the non-believers, we already know this season is gone. We know that this is just gonna be a bad season but there is always next year, which should be way better. We are not bandwagon jumpers, we just don’t like to get our hopes and then have them crushed.
This brings me to the prediction for the game tonight. I'm thinking that the Steelers crush the Colts tonight at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Pittsburgh Steelers will win 30-10 in a game that is never close. The only hope for Indy is to START CURTIS PAINTER!
-At least my Fighting Irish beat a team from Pittsburgh, in the Steelers' stadium no less!
UPDATED- 9/26/2011 at 1:06 a.m. The Steelers beat the Colts 23-20 in a game that was close the whole time. So much for my predicted score. What made me happy was Curtis Painter came in the 4th quarter and led the Colts offense down the field and into the endzone to tie the game. This was the only offensive touchdown scored by the Colts, and further proof that Painter needs to start.
