It is hard to watch this Indianapolis Colts team and not come away excited about the future. SB Nation has put together the FanPulse feature this season and and confidence levels have remained high, despite a four game losing streak and a 1-5 record. It is clear that the fan base believes the needle is pointing up for a young team that is playing in its first year under a new coaching staff, and in only the second season under a new general manager.
The key word has to be “young.” There are major contributions coming from first- and second-year players who are clearly going to make up the backbone of the franchise’s short- and long-term future.
