BlueCollarColts Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Everyone was hating on Pagano for starting McGlynn and Satele pre-game, and they went out and performed. Thornton recently has been playing great and is looking like a very good player as a rookie. Credit is due here, gave Luck time and opened up running lanes! Way to go boys! :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smonroe Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 They were terrible for the majority of the game.Not just the O line, who probably deserve a C. The D line was owned most of the game too.Smith played unbelievably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhorse Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ok, I'll change it to some people ;)Or "nearly all". I really like the idea that this coaching staff may have very well said, "You give it up for the team.....do all that we ask, and we will back you all season".....and then do just that, solidifying the strength of their word. I see changes in the offseason, but for now, we are dancin with those who brung us ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricker182 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Satele's helmet should get credit when the fumbled ball bounced off itWth was he doing on that play. Literally just standing there looking like he was waiting for a pass rush or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Luck was sacked once, Brown averaged 5.0 yards a carry. I was fine with the o-line. They weren't world beaters but I think at this point in the season I think we all know they are never going to be this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveeoaktree33 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Congrats O-line. Yes, even you Satele'. You used your "head" that one play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintor Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Â Satele sucks at center , McGlynn be better at center. reitz is good at rg. most pressure was up the middle . reason kc has great run team is their o,line built run blocking why backup look so great.

Surge89 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't agree that the props should be given to the O-Line... but rather the adjustment of Luck and Pep in playing to mask the weakness of the O-line.  Notice the run was used more as a decoy and timing patterns with 1-3 step drops.  We took our strength and the weakness of our line and amplified one and diminished the other.  Brilliant plan if anything. I'm of course in the minority (even if this was one of the greatest games I've ever watched) I'm not sold on Pagano.  He repeatedly shows the unwillingness to change or the incompetence to change (whichever you think) personnel and his choice of putting Richardson BACK in the game even after that costly mistake still keeps me flabbergasted no matter the result.  At some point you have to have accountability.  Either way though the TEAM played amazing and the Offensive gameplan was great.  The execution not so much until the latter part of the game :-).  The D left quite a bit to be desired early but man did they show up to play late.  They literally refused to let them score.  It was awesome to watch Mathis put that D on his back and change the game like he did.  Anyways ramble off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Saw KC only got pressures on Luck on two if his 25 drop backs in the second half. Line played well just about every way you can measure them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUR GM Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hopefully this convinces them to put Reitz in next game.It won't. We need to figure out which dunce of a coach it is that is damn insistent on starting both McGlynn and Satele, and get rid of them. I fear the "McTele" era is gonna enter season 3 next year. They've got friends in high places within the Colts organization, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curveball Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 They were adequate. KC's defensive front is one of their strengths and we played them to a draw. A draw is a win for the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still part of our team and if every player hasn't made a mistake at some point then they're lying to themselves. It ticked me off, too, but we need EVERYONE together to win. T-Rich has been running for his life just trying to get to the line of scrimmage, let alone through a hole. I'm sure that in the locker room, the team supports him as well. That's why our team is what it is. McGlynn at center makes a much better run game. Satele won't be starting at center next year in my opinion but we have what we have until then. Reitz (If I'm not mistaken) was not available for the Chiefs' game so putting McGlynn may not have been an option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarColts Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Trent did make a mistake by trying to switch hands and obviously fumbled the ball, but watch his run, he was about to get 10 yards out of nothing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricker182 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Seriously though what was Satele even doing on the Brown fumble? It looks like he's trying to dance with Castanzo. He needs to be benched, really. This angle really shows it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Roland Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 OL has played better as of late. beginning of the season to near the end they couldnot block anybody. but lately they have protected Luck better and opened holes up better. they just got to keep getting better each game and we should be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
