We're off to a good start,won the toss& deferred, then defense gets a 3 & out.

He sure did yesterday on that 50/50 ball that McLaurin wrestled away from Gilmore, setting up the winning touchdown.

I can live with that (as if I have a choice) but it wasn't Taylor Heinicke who crapped the bed for us under center, costing us a playoff berth and necessitating the need to acquire yet another QB to start this season, that was Carson Wentz. If, after all that drama and his inability to win against interim HCs in consecutive games, he returned to Lucas Oil Stadium where he lost more than he won last season and beat us, it would've been virtually unbearable! It probably would've hastened Frank's inevitable firing though, Irsay probably would've felt so personally embarrassed getting beat by the guy who he traded for and then had to trade away that he may have totally cleaned house last night or this morning!

It's the same story every week, we have our screwups during the game but are still in a position to win it late - we fail to more often than not, and it's often due in large part to bad playcalling, especially on the goal line. We get down there, and Frank just goes into the fetal position and we either settle for 3, or turn the ball over. I nearly get jealous whenever I see other teams put a defensive lineman in at fullback and just pound it in from a yard or 2 out. Frank often seems checked out during games, like he knows he's gonna get fired eventually, so why bother? When our passrushers are being held or our receivers interfered with and no flag is thrown, he should be letting the referee hear about it and maybe we'd get a few of those calls later in the drive or the game - at a minimum, it would show the players who are fighting it out on the field that he has their back and is willing to fight for them but when he passively goes on to the next play and lets it all slide unchallenged, I think it takes the fight right outta this team.

As bad as it was to lose this game that we clearly should've won, I'm just grateful that it wasn't Carson Wentz that beat us, that would've been a higher degree of suck!

I can't believe they marched all the way down the field, Bradley needs to learn how to apply extra pressure on certain downs like 3rd & long, or any 4th down passing play!

Good coverage on that punt to pin them deep!

Defense stepped up and held them to 3 - now we need to either run out the clock, or kick another field goal to seal the win!

Even though it's a 2 score game, this is no time for the defense to go soft!

Leonard with the pick!

Our red zone struggles continue, but at least we lead again!

Sam does bring a spark to this offense, there's no denying that!

We're back in the red zone, let's cash it in this time!

A holding call on Pryor wipes out a 20nyard run by Sam!

JT coughs it up while we're in FG range for the lead!

Ehlinger to Pierce for 47 yards!

Defense saves the day!

So close to the end zone and we give them a fumble! Now they'll drain the remainder of the clock, go into the locker room with a lead and get the ball 1st coming put of it. Our disturbing streak continues, this team hasn't led at halftime since last season, on Christmas Day against Arizona.

Frank's getting creative!

Frank needs to get on theses refs about all this obvious PI that isnbeing called!

That was stupid, 3rd & a make able 5 from in our own red zone, and we go long downfield and nearly get it picked!

Looks like we're playing for a Wild Card now, if we're lucky!

I think they've won the last 4, going on 5 today!

FG good from 50 yards!

Well, that'll work!
