If you ran the ball on 3rd down burning more clock and preserving the FG, chances are we are not talking about it now.

Bingo!! Is it true that there was tape showing our kicker saying that was a stupid call? I have read that somewhere or perhaps it was Andrew who was seen muttering that, I don't recall.

Why you would throw the ball up 7, in field goal range, with one of the greatest kickers in history.

 

Full potato. 

 

 

and if anything that could also be offensive pass interference.

our defense was gassed. eagles would have scored easily

They might have been gassed but they would have only been able to score 7. Then we would have gotten the ball back with the lead. Which we probably ran 3 times in a row and went 3 and out but we never got to that point.

the eagles would have got the ball back with 5 mins left. I highly doubt it would have taken them any longer then 1 min to score a fg or td.

Yep. When you know a team is down 2 scores, you can amp. the pressure up with blitzes. If it is just one score, you take less risks on D, IMO.

Yeah, on that last set of downs, when it was first and ten and in field goal range, I looked at my wife and said we should do nothing but run the ball from this point on, whether we get another first down or not. The clock still runs and the Colts are probably up by two scores with less than 5 minutes to go - unless of course you force the Eagles to burn timeouts at that point. Fate was tempted with that third down pass attempt and we got burned for it.

Not going to lie. Usually I don't get to worked up over games but this one just sucked. If pep does not improve over the year he needs to go. We need someone that going to help develope Luck bit hinder his growth. Trent ran well but he needs to hold onto the ball or grab a seat on the pine. So many weapons just being wasted. Steaming mad! Lol

Maybe, maybe not.  But I would have rather the Eagles scored when the Colts had a 10 point lead rather than a 7 point lead.

 

theres no guarantee adam would have made the kick. its crazy how you guys complain about pep being conservative and then complain how pep is being aggressive. ty didnt even have enough for a first. luck threw it to get a flag

It is called situational play calling.

 

When you have a lead, you run to burn clock because the clock is your friend. When you are tied and have to break the tie or are playing from behind, you pass to get yardage since the clock is not your friend. I would think that is play calling 101.

I think those pages are missing from Pep's book.

We can talk about the hold which it was and a bogus call BUT is there any doubt that it was going to be picked?  TY was bracketed and the pass was going nowhere but to the Eagles. Just throw it away. I don't care about the pass play call from Pep as Luck is supposed to be the type of QB you can trust in that spot to hit an open guy or throw it away.

Respectfully, I have to disagree with you here. Had T.Y. Not been held, it would've been complete for a first down. At the very least, T.Y. Would've taken a hard hit from the safety coming fast from behind and it would've been an incomplete pass.

Well now, obviously there is no guarantee that Luck completes the pass either is there?  Also that is a silly argument; if the pass had been incomplete the Colts would have kicked a FG.

 

I'm not complaining about Pep but you have to look at the situation.  The Colts are on the 22, so it's a 40 yard FG (something AV makes regularly) and with the zone coverage the Eagles played all night there is a good chance a run would have gained another 4 or 5 yards.

 

No, a pass was not the right call in that situation.

The safety was already breaking on the pass. He was there. Maybe not a pick but def. not a completion.

 

They just said on first take that the contact happened within first five yards as well so the penalty is not as clear cut as I first thought. He was bumped but TY then stumbled.

my point is, the colts wanted the drive to continue because they knew at that point of the game their defense was too tired to stop the eagles from scoring

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/04/horse-collar-rule-will-be-a-point-of-emphasis-in-2012/

 

The horse collar became a point of emphasis in 2012. It used to be that you had to grab around the pads for the call but if a player is grabbed by the jersey and bent backwards than it is a horse collar. The refs have called that play that way for some time now.

 

As for the TY play. Looked like holding to me but bad decision by Luck to throw with the safety reading him all the way. Just toss it away.

That was the right call. You can't grab any part of the back of the ball carrier from behind. He grabbed his shirt and yanked him down.

 

What rule book are you looking at??? 

 

 

One of the Philly defenders did the same exact thing to TY Hilton (pulling him down by his jersey) and they never called it on him.

No it does not. Look up the rule. Any attempt by the defensive player to take a player down from behind by the pads OR jersey causing knees to buckle is a horse collar.

I've read the rule, "Article 15: Horse-Collar Tackle. No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey 

pads or jersey, and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a 
quarterback who is in the pocket. 
Note: It is not necessary for a player to pull the runner completely to the ground in order for the act to be illegal. If his knees 
are buckled by the action, it is a foul, even if the runner is not pulled completely to the ground. "
 
This is where understanding of the English language comes into play; everything after "insider collar" are prepositional phrases which means that what precedes the prep. phrase must happen.  So in order for it to be a horse collar the hand must be inside the collar either on the back or the side.  This was not the case, the hand was never inside the jersey or pads.

I understand your point but you are incorrect.  if the defense is tired and can't stop the other team from scoring then the right thing to do is to go up by two scores.

The prep is an "or" not an "and." Meaning either or. His jersey was grabbed and yanked down. It was a penalty.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
