We scored 30 points
Was DJ turbo dogshit in the first half? Yes- turbo dogshit may even be kind. Did he lead/run a good offense after that? Yes. This is why Shane picked him. Even in a lackluster at best game, he still did what we needed.
For the “If AR would’ve done this” crowd- we would’ve loved to score 30 points.
Who knows what happens if we play Mariota or Daniels. We know defense is the problem.
Don’t Buy Into the Narrative that Sauce is Bad
Despite what everyone in various game threads seems to think, the TD play is not on Sauce.
All the people saying “that’s such a weird double move” because it wasn’t meant to be. WR clearly thought it was a hitch. Sauce responded accordingly by stopping with him. The pass was massively overthrown, or QB just thought he’d keep running.
Burks just happened to have a better angle to get a step in first to track it down. Sauce is also supposed to have safety help here. This was a busted offensive play that happened to work out. Sauce, or any DB at the NFL level, is not going to defend as if the play will be busted. Everything about Burks body language suggests a stop route. There’s no play in anyone’s playbook that has a receiver do a double move 30 yards down the field.
A general caveat to all of this, including myself: we have no idea what the offensive or defensive calls were. We don’t know assignments or routes. If one of the best DBs in the league appears burnt, you have to assume something broke down.
Idk, just don’t think Sauce isn’t elite when it appeared to be a total fluke play. That is all.

youtube.comThoughts on preseason predictions vs where we are now
Many pundits, analysts, and even Colts fans were looking at the schedule and predicting that we could be 0-4 to start the season based on the schedule. Despite the (usual) negativity on this sub, should we be optimistic that we are 2-2 instead? What are your thoughts on this?
First-ever Colts game for a UK fan! 🇬🇧💙
Finally saw my guys after years of streaming the games on NFL Game Pass and watching on RedZone! And hey, it was tough going in that first quarter (really tough going...) but a win's a win, right?
This was my fourth NFL London game after seeing Jets @ Falcons and Dolphins @ Jaguars in 2021 and Ravens @ Titans in 2023 but was awesome to have the sun out and temperatures higher this time, it was a great day for a football game which hasn't been my experience with the previous London games!
For a while, I felt a bit bad for the Commanders fans who were excited for the team to visit only to get hit with all of those injuries (especially as I was a bit gutted that AP wouldn't be playing in this one) but ultimately, don't care about that because I couldn't face having a personal record of 0-1 for ages until I can see my next Colts game (which has to be at Lucas Oil) and once we got it going in the second quarter I was confident we weren't about to hugely embarrass ourselves...
I spent 10 days in Indianapolis in 2024 and saw a Pacers homestand but unfortunately the Colts were in their off-season and I was only able to do the stadium tour and raid the team store, so this was a day I'd been waiting a long time for, as I wasn't a fan of the Colts when they came to Wembley Stadium back in 2016
Can't wait to get back over to the States in the next year or two, this time I'll have to plan something in the sweet spot of Colts and Pacers both being at home
Any other UK Colts fans go to their first game today? Always love hearing how any other UK-based NFL fans became fans of the Colts too
Would also be interested to hear what anyone who travelled from the US for the game thought of the day!

Tyler Warren appreciation post
I know JT and Buckner balled out today, but can we get some love for Mr reliable aka Tyler William Warren?! He’s one of the best picks we’ve made in years and he’s been such a versatile weapon. I hope he stays a colt his whole career.
Colts won more games at the Tottenham stadium than Tottenham themselves that’s hilarious.
reddit.comLondon Game Was Not that Bad
I was at the London Game. section 113 Row 4. Here are my thoughts
The first quarter was horrible. I honestly thought I was about to witness a beating as bad as the Jaguars game in Sept 2022 (I was there too). But the defence made a stand and gave the offence a chance to recover. By halftime they were rolling
The offensive line had issues all game. Which is why the Daniel Jones errors happened. It helped that the commanders effectively collapsed in the forth quarter
On other notes
- Commanders fans f-ing suck - as obnoxious as Jets fans
- Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was great
- Transport to and from was only mildly painful
- Felt like a stateside NFL game
The London games need a kick-off flyover for next year
Checking in on this sub periodically for the next 3-4 months knowing Danny sucks, coaching staff/management is probably gone soon, and no clue what happens next
But hey, we’re 2-2 😁
