Indianapolis @ Denver (9-6-14)

[oldunclemark]

Why don't Luck run more?

Good question

[Le Neon]

Good game. Nice job fighting back.

[Fx Stryker]

Everyone knew that was going to Reggie...

THROW TO SOMEONE ELSE LUCK!

[B~Town]

could have been a flag

[5toolplayer]

Good 2nd half effort. Why does this team come out SO FLAT every single game and dig a hole they cant get out of

[Tyler Shaw]

Mugged Reggie on that play

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Why don't we play in the first half, like we do in the second? Offensively. Still.

[GoColts8818]

I don't want to hear one word about the NFL's points of emphasis this season.

[ReMeDy]

Well apparently the Broncos didn't know that if they paired a rookie 1-on-1 against him.

[LordHelpOurColts]

Colts showed some moxie.

[Happy2BeHere]

Yea bummer, we had lots of opportunities to win just did not play well enough for the whole game.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

No surprise pep didn't come up with the right call

[JoKeR]

Hilton was open but good game on that last play. Good job fighting back though.

[Superman]

Dang.

[Warhawk]

Eh, could have been worse.

[James]

TY was wide open. Luck forces it to Wayne.

[B~Town]

at least we fought back

[HtownColt]

Broncos were gift wrapping us the game...so many missed opportunities

[mattceinicram]

I'm proud of this team. We're gonna be fine

[GoColts8818]

could have been a flag

should have been a Flag especially with that being a point of emphasis. Horrible no call there if that's a point of emphasis.

[Trace Pyott]

I wonder too why we start off so bad and end so good. Is it because teams are ahead and playing conservative, is it luck starts slow or is it the play calling? Something has to change.

[austriancolt]

+ Defense played pretty good just was let down by the Offense

+ Richardson and Bradshaw both had a good game, they played hard and fighted for every single yard. i like!

+ still competitive even if we play like garbage from time to time - just wasted too many chances

+ Offense bounced back at the end of the game 

 

 

- digging a hole early in the game like last year

- Offense looked terrible in the first half looked better in the second

- wasted a lot of opportunities

- red zone offense was terrible

- play calling by pep is frustrating

- pass rush without mathis non existent

- penalties & refs

- we always seem to go totally unprepared into the games

I watched a lot of football today. There weren't as many holding penalties as you might have expected.

[COLTSFAN12to13]

Honestly, not the worst way to start the year. Hopefully we can start out strong against Philly next week. 

[twfish]

Finally all the "colts fans" who have been bashing the colts the past couple weeks will finally leave..... alot of questionable calls though

[GoColts8818]

that wasn't holding that was old fashioned pass interference and a pretty obvious one at that.

[snkdy]

Too bad about those two redzone trips. Could have been a different outcome...

 

Proud of the team for fighting though.

[COLTSFAN12to13]

Defense was awesome in second half. Landry and Toler worry me though. 

 

O-Line wasn't as bad as people thought. Thornton and Mewhort had their issues, but Castonzo and Cherilus were pretty solid. Shipley wasn't that bad either.

 

Luck was Luck, Hicks looked okay, Bradshaw looked great, Wayne looked great. 

 

Fleener did not play well imo.. Allen had a big TD catch. 

 

All in all, if you told me before the game that  we were going to go into Denver and lose by 7 points, i honestly wouldn't be too upset about that. Probably what I expected. 

[Superman]

that wasn't holding that was old fashioned pass interference and a pretty obvious one at that.

 

I don't know. Lots of contact. I can see the case for a flag, but I can see why they didn't throw one also.

 

And I was just saying, despite all the talk about holding and illegal contact, it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be after the beginning of the preseason.

[HtownColt]

Manusky made some pretty good adjustments for the second half.

[dw49]

Plus two INT. Plus a failure to recover a fumble that had the horseshoe logo all over it. Plenty of chances here.

 

 

Did they call the second one an int or was it a catch and fumble ?

[ricker182]

Should be illegal contact in today's NFL.

[COLTSFAN12to13]

Manusky made some pretty good adjustments for the second half.

Agreed. The D was good in the second half

 

Now if only we could play the first half, we will be fine.

 

Sorry for the overreactions before, btw.

he was tackling him before the ball was there and had his hands on him the whole play if you aren't going to throw the flag for that don't have the rule let alone say it's a point of emphasis.

[GoColts8818]

yes he did. The defense was studs in the second half. Still this team struggles to put together the whole game.

[Superman]

It was an INT. Bounced off Fleener's hands to Rahim Moore.

[That Guy]

No, Reggie was going to the ground to get low to catch the ball. Roby went low with him and knocked the ball away. It was a clean play on defense. A flag would have been a worse call.

[Superman]

I don't wanna argue about the call. I think it was borderline.

 

We should have executed better, then we wouldn't be talking about a PI call on 4th and 6. How about not taking a penalty on 4th and 1?

[pgt_rob]

I'm happy that it wasn't a blow out like it appeared at first. Lost by 1 score. We have a lot to improve on so I hope we can fix some of those things by next week. There was just too much bad going on.

[tfunky14]

I'm proud of this team. We're gonna be fine

Agree,,

 

 

we will meet again
