  1. As a lifelong football and colts fan many things about that play bother me. #1 why call the timeout? If you don't get it at least you have a chance to get th ball back with about a minute.  #2 tyler Goodson??????  They are paying Taylor all this money, and if not Taylor what about Zack moss, they both can catch the ball. It's like if your season is on the line and you have edgerrin James and  Dominic Rhodes you are not going to put in James mungro .   #3  the play itself we all knew it was going to him, and I thought before minshew threw it  it was 50/50 that he would catch it.  #4 they CLEARLY lined up offsides and not only was it not called has anyone in the media talked about it afterwards ? Penalty plain and simple. Would they have won the game ??  We will never know. Houston would have had to use all their timeouts so if the Colts scored good chance they would have won.

  2. The non call of offsides clearly does matter and he was definitely offsides. 1st down. Houston has to start using their timeouts.  Every change of possession inside 2 minutes should be reviewed.  Has ANYONE in the media or league commented about it. His entire hand was offsides. They have called that penalty this year a few times, just ask Mahomes. Go back to the afc championship game a few years ago k.c vs  the patriots, k.c. player lined up offsides brady threw the other wynn got intercepted , the offsides had nothing to do with the play but it was called a penalty.  The colts had other opportunities, but they were robbed a chance to win

  3. Had the refs not screwed over the Colts in that game they would be in the playoffs now. Multiple bad calls at the end of that game. Ironically it's the same date Pittsburgh was given a gift vs the rams.  The eagles dolphins game was that night. 3 of the poorest officiating games of the season.  I know you could say the Colts were lucky to beat. Baltimore but they got unlucky vs the rams.    You need to take care of your business on the field but that browns game is the reason they are not in the playoffs. Many games could have went either way including tonight, but that browns game was the worst called game of the season.

  4. As a colts fan the Broncos losing was actually bad. Because the Colts lose the tiebreaker to the Bengals they need Denver to have the same record because the Colts win a 3 way tie between those teams. Or they need the Steelers to have the same record as the Bengals because Pitt has the better division record so they would be in front on the Bengals. There is only 1 scenario in which the Colts win both games and miss the playoffs. Jax and Cincinnati would have to win both. Buffalo would have to either win or lose both and Pitt would have to lose at least 1.  If the Colts beat the raiders but lose to the texans I believe there is only 1 way  to get in. The Texans would have to lose next week, Bengals lose 1 and Pitt loses 1  and Denver win 2. or Bengals lose 2.   the other way, lose to the raiders but beat the texans everything else is the same except the texans could win next week. That is just for the wildcard. If Jax loses both and colts just beat the texans they win the division. Or Jax loses 1 and colts win both.  If I overlooked or missed anything lnk

  5. Next 6 games Mayfield, levis, Browning, Pickett,  O'Connell, Ridder. After just facing Bryce young and Mac Jones.  Mayfield is probably the best one. If the offense is just average  they should win 4 of 6. . Houston and Jacksonville also have a similar qb schedule.  The playoffs are a good possibility. The refs loss to Cleveland might do them in. 1-4 at home, need to win the rest of the home games, 

  6. I have 2 topics in 1 post. This year more than ever the refs are controlling the game.  Those back to back calls  at  the end of the game were 2 terrible judgment calls.  Then look at the Steelers game. Last week the browns vs 49ers. I could go on and on. The league wants 9-8 and 8-9 teams, and traditionally the more popular teams get the controversial calls. Pittsburgh, k.c. patriots, cowboys, bucs when Brady was there.      The other topic has anyone else noticed during every broadcast adam archuleta continues to disrespect the Colts and never says anything positive,

  7. Bottom line,  a healthy colts team with Andrew Luck is better than the titans team.  A healthy colts team with Jacoby,  and just average in kicking  is  equal if not better titans. Remember the titans were 9-7.   Colts kickers missed 16 kicks to their opponents 1 missed kick .   That is unheard of 16 to 1.

  8. Last year the Colts beat the titans twice. This year when healthy they beat them.   A blocked field goal was the beginning of the end this season.   It's frustrating as a colts fan seeing this 9-7 team advance to the afc championship who I know when the Colts at full strength are better.   The titans might be the worst team ever  in a championship game.  Can anyone think of a worse team ??

  9. Brady is the LOAT  the luckiest of all time.  Brady missed a season patriots went 11-5 . Manning missed a season colts went 2-14.  Brady suspended patriots go 3-1.  Manning retires the Broncos dont even make the playoffs.  Aaron Rodgers hurt the packers are terrible. Andrew luck is hurt / retires the Colts are terrible.  Brees gets hurt the saints go 5-0 .  Both brees and Brady are very overrated

  10. Peyton Manning 5 mvp ( could have been 7 ) . Brees zero mvp. That alone should end the discussion.  Can anyone look up how many meaningless td passes brees threw like when his team was down by 21 with 5 seconds to go.   And how many times peyton was held out after 1 series on the last game, or when he came out after such a big lead even in the 3rd quarter. Where as brees would stay in the game until the end.  Peyton easily could have had 25 more td passes had he played all the way through.  And had brees come out like most qb should have would have about 25 less.

  11. In my opinion had the Colts stayed somewhat healthy they would still be playing. Of course it didn't help that Adam Vinietari was terrible and  Jacoby was just average the 2nd half of the season. It's frustrating to see the Texans and titans still playing when I know the Colts are better.   The colts beat 3 of the 4 teams left in the afc when healthy ( 2 on the road)  and they match up well vs Baltimore. Spy Lamar with Leonard.    This is for another topic but I truly believe if Andrew Luck had played they would be the number 2 seed at worse and be one of the favorites to win it all. This team was built and ready to win it all back in the summer.  So what is the solution ??   Obviously staying healthy,  average field goal kicker. Colts missed 15 kicks, opponents missed 1.  And get a consistent starting qb. Jacoby is not the answer. Do we really want rivers, or even Tom Brady. NO.  Derek Carr?  He checks down a lot.  Draft ? Like I said they are ready to win now.   If I am Jim irsay,  I am doing whatever it takes to get Andrew luck to play again. Of course make sure his heart is still in it with passion, but if it is you just get it done. Explain how the team really needs him and rely on him. Even if it's just for 1 year tell him. Get him back in the built all costs. He is a top 5 qb right now.

  12. Vinietari missed 14 kicks. If he makes just half of the kicks he missed the Colts are 11-5, 12-4.   Or if the Colts opponents missed 7 more kicks then it's the same result.  Kicking is the reason the Colts are not division champs this year.  If Vinietari is just average then they win minimum 11 games. 

  13. Heading into the final game the Colts have missed 15 kicks and I believe their opponents have missed 1. Vinietari missed 6 extra points and 8 field goals. Chase missed 1.  Early on the titans missed a field goal and that's it if I recall correctly.  In the 100 years of the nfl that 15 to 1 ratio has never been close.  Just think if he makes half of his misses we are looking at 11-5  at worse.  My point is this team is not that bad. Aside from the saints game they could have won every game.  Imagine the potential this team had in early August before Andrew Luck retired and the lost their top 4 wr's  for most of the season.   15 to 1. If anyone can look up the biggest difference in missed kicks I would be surprised if another team was even at 5 to 1

  14. The colts loss to the Steelers was devastating. As I write this before the game Monday night.  Now at 7-6 the Colts would have controlled their own destiny, and even with a loss tonight all they would have needed was to win the last 2 and hope Tennessee lost one because the Colts would hold the tie breaker over Tennessee and Pittsburgh.    As far as next year they can be a legitimate super bowl contender. They only need 2 things.  #1  just have just an average amount of injuries,  and #2 and most importantly get Andrew Luck back. If he was here this year and healthy they already would have at least 10 wins
