There very well may be a curse on the Colts in Jacksonville, but we definitely shoot ourselves in the foot repeatedly as well.
I “wanted” to have zero expectations going into this game with a bunch of our starters out, but we still could be the better team if we played good football.
EJ Speed has missed about every open field tackle that’s come his way. Linebackers can’t cover RB out of the backfield for easy first down passes. Can’t stop the 4th & 1 on obvious QB sneaks multiple times, can’t bear down and give Flacco protection on an obvious pass play at the end of the half, Flowers “forgetting” he has deep coverage in that scheme on the touchdown, etc.
If we actually played good football and got beat, I’d be perfectly happy. But this sloppy, unprepared Colts team that I’ve seen in Jacksonville the last decade is just unacceptable.
I would love to see some half time adjustments and maybe some of the leaders step up and show that we can in fact win this game if we play like we should.
