We dropped too many balls on offense and made too many penalties on defense.

 

It wasn't Pagano's decisions. It wasn't Hamilton's play calling etc, etc.

 

The players gave this game away. It's 100% on them.

Agreed.

 

Plain and simple....horrible execution and discipline up and down the roster.

 

And physically a very poor effort....which is highly disturbing.

I Agree we Beat ourselves this game. The chargers did play very physical this game and that helped them seal the deal. but if we would have converted those 3rd downs and had 3 tds instead of Fgs The score would have been 21 colts 19 chargers, Potentially....But This is the NFL and there is no time for the would of, could of, should ofs.

I agree,    But a lot of blame to go everywhere..

 

This was the TRUE definition of "a team loss"..

 

They just were not ready on MNF.     Why?

Baltimore playoff game..    catch the ball and ???   

 

This needed to happen probably...      These young guys need a kick in the EGO to get ready for "the biggest game any of them will ever play" ......... 

 

Denver vs Indy.......   next week..

 

Colts will get them ..      book it.

 

They put up a stat tonight that showed the Colts had about as many drops tonight as they did ALL SEASON. Yeah I would say that hurt us a bit

Fine. The Chargers won the game. Whatever.

 

I looked at the scoreboard.  That's what it looks like. I looked at the box score. That's what it looks like.  I'm watching replays on ESPN. That's what it looks like.  I guess I'm going with that.  We got taken out back to the woodshed and spanked.  We have issues to work on, from a talent and matchup standpoint.

Indy was flat, was full of themselves...      and guess what?   They lose.

 

Drops were huge but I was more disappointed in the D.    Why not get after Rivers?

 

Indy has had to deal with Pryor, Wilson, Kap, Tannyhill,...     the "future" of the QB position..  beat them all..

 

Run into a stationary OLD VET ..   and decide not to get after him?

I just do not get it......   Go down swinging not getting torched on 3rd and longs by Danny Woodhead and K Allen.

 

BLITZ       Do something.. 

 

And the PUNT?   When your D has not stopped the rain?    OK...

 

This loss is sad because Indy rolled into SD thinking they are as good as the record says.      Lots of work to do.

 

 

seemed to me, the Chargers punched us square in the mouth. That's why we either got hurt and were out of the game or heard footsteps and dropped everything.  maybe not full truth, but felt that way.  They beat us physically the way we beat SF and Seahawks.

We need to take it to them, not the other way around like tonight.  Hope home field and 12th man helps there.

Seattle did the same thing?

 

BUT alas...     Indy was at home...     

 

This is a very YOUNG core..     It will get better.   

 

the staff?   Man...  I am really struggling with some of the decisions tonight?

You know, I have been reading this board for the past 5 years, give or take, and decided I wanted to share my opinion on this game. This is the first time I've ever voiced my intake. I've been a fan since 95' so please dont think I'm a bandwagon fan. With that said, I just can't believe how outplayed and out coached we were. Good game by the Chargers, I don't want to take anything away from them, but wow, did we take ourselves out of the game. Silly penalties, bad decisions, poor hands...we truly looked like a bottom level team today. With how well we have played the past few games, I really expected this game to be a great game for both teams, no matter the score. But we just looked lost. I hope things are fixed come next Sunday (which happens to be my birthday...come on, Colts, do it for me!).

Bey dropped a sure touchdown that would have changed everything. We needed that momentum with this being an away game.

 

Definitely would've changed the momentum...but that was 50/50 Luck and Bey. Little too far but I sure would've liked to have seen Bey dive after it. Ehhhh....Fleener's drop was the punch in the stomach.

You disagreed with my incredible insight and somehow came to the conclusion that our dropped passes and defensive penalties were not the reason we lost the game.

 

So why thank me?

So tell me, why did they drop passes? just didn't fell like catching them tonight?  Felt bad for SD?  Their D forced the bad plays. If those Charger Defense guys weren't out there, I doubt anybody drops a single one.

This was in no way shape or form in any degree a coaching problem.  Execution was the problem.  Now if you want to argue that the coachs didn't prepare the team then you may have a point, but the coachs made every call correctly and have shown that they usually put this team in a good situation to win.  So I'm going to say this is a young team and they did not execute. (Which is you watched the game objectively you would have easily seen...)

Luck overthrew that ball.  If DHB lays out for it, he makes a diving catch for a 1st down at best.  For Usain Bolt, it would be a TD. That's about it.  The others were drops. Except the pick at the end. Another overthrow.

Eh, I don't know. There were a few calls by the coaching staff (mainly the punt with 3 minutes left) that didn't sit well with me. I mean, execution was obviously a problem. But there were a few choices out there that didnt make sense.

Even if he had just layed out for it and got the first down it still would have been huge both drive and momentum wise.  He would not have even had to dive for it ... just kind of lean and then fall with it.  Although slightly overthrown that was a very catchable ball.

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
