COLTS7's Blog

the difference in the game was those 2 huge mistakes , that's called beating yourself, considering the opponent and the stakes, a quality performance-otherwise

to me they looked like their regular inconsistent self.........with the exception that,Reggie did not have a good game as he usually does

I might be nit-picking but I can't stand our DB's lack of tackling skills.  New names, same issue!  I don't understand how these guys can make it through a tape review with the DB's coach.  Give up an extra 3+ yards on every play where they "don't wrap"!!

I hear ya on the lack or wrapping up, but I don't really see it as a Db's-only issue, it's league wide and it's evident in all postions, maybe moreso in the secondary, because they are small, compared to the front seven,  that's one of the reasons Bob Sanders was one of my fav Colts-ever, he hit and wrapped and played the game the way it's suppossed to be played and they way it was played before everyone made 1,000,000,000,000 ( sorry, lost track of the zeroes) when guys are making that kind of money, they ain't about to lay it on the line, very often

Oh that fumble on 2nd and goal, why was that carry not given to Ballard? And Reggie's TD called back due to a flag...aaaahhh. I was lamenting about why weren't they utilizing the TE's right when Allen catches one for a TD.. but then we didn't see a play like that the rest of the game. Same for Hilton's long catch, no other plays with the long pass the rest of the game?Why not return to something that worked? This game was certainly winable by the Colts, it just slipped away with some huge mistakes.
