Anyway, Frank, panic meter colds, what is it?
Uh, it’s not that bad yet, but not zero.
Like when they were seven and one, We were talking about: Is this the best team in football?
Are they going to the Super Bowl?
Is Daniel Jones going?
And it’s not the case anymore.
And the, The thing with the Colts is, look, teams lose 3 or 4, It happens; it’s not ideal.
One of those losses was to the Chiefs in OT At Arrowhead, like, this isn’t the worst thing that’s ever happened, But it’s that their offense has just totally disappeared, and a lot of that has to be Daniel Jones’s injury.
I, I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Let’s put it that way.
He has a broken leg.
Yes, he’s got a broken leg.
Like, I’m not sitting here saying there’s, There’s no valid excuse for this, but it’s not the same offense, And that trickles down.

So, they’re 8 and 4.
The Houston Texans are the team to watch out for.
That defense is nasty.
Like, it is really strong.
Really, really good.
They’re up to 7 and 5, and now I, I do think if you’re the Colts, you start to look and say, If we don’t fix these offensive issues soon, very quickly, We’re gonna miss the playoffs.
Like, there are enough teams in the AFC that could, that could jump them for a wild card, including two in their own division.
That you, you, you should be worried.
I think Indianapolis should be worried.
Now, if they don’t turn this thing around very, very fast.
