Indianapolis @ Denver (9-6-14)

[LordHelpOurColts]

Bradshaw is a G

[oldunclemark]

Luck is just play making

[Superman]

Exactly what aspect of this game gave him any indication that our line would be able to execute a sneak in a critical situation like that? Bone-headed calls like that are what drive me crazy

 

Critical 4th down, I'd rather take my time and run a good play. But QB sneak is pretty standard from the half yard line.

[oldunclemark]

Oh Reggie....didnt look good there

[TKnight24]

Andrew tryna take Wayne out again

[oldunclemark]

Bootleg keeper to the wide side

[Superman]

Andrew tryna take Wayne out again

 

Stahp.

[oldunclemark]

take the FG..

Luck ran right into D-Ware

[LordHelpOurColts]

It should be 21-24 right now....but NO

[GoColts8818]

Colts red zone offense is lacking to say the least.

[Superman]

This is where we have to get better. Red zone conversions are critical. Score could be 24-21 right now.

[Mr.Debonair]

We should have gave Bradshaw a chance to run it in there

[oldunclemark]

GC and Castonzo are playing a whale of a game to this point. Very little pressure coming from the tackle spot on either side against two very good pass rushers.

They dominated the 3rd Q and got 3 points.. I think Denver's 'D' is tiring like the Colts was in the first half

..and the LB situation for Denver is bad

[GoColts8818]

Good news they have rested the D this quarter. Bad news two drives inside the redzone and only three points is not nearly enough vs. Peyton.

[B~Town]

thank god Wayne is ok that did not look good

[5toolplayer]

RZ offense is bad. Not sure if this the play calling or the execution but you can't get inside the 5 yd line and come away with 3 points

[Deathiltis]

Couple bad bounces. Couple bad calls. Colts have played well, things have just worked well for the Broncos. Colts could've be winning right now.

[oldunclemark]

I have to smile

Playing Denver in National TV means you have to sit through 24 Peyton commercials

[Defjamz26]

What game are you guys watching right now? Isn't the offense marching down the field again?

Yup, marched down the field for a field goal. Denver's D is pretty good but the O can't seem to get a TD In the red zone.

[oldunclemark]

The RG3 commercials I can do without

[YOUR GM]

Critical 4th down, I'd rather take my time and run a good play. But QB sneak is pretty standard from the half yard line.

That's kinda my point though. The obvious play isn't gonna work unless you can physically impose your will, regardless of the fact they know it's coming. Nothing prior to that point should've gave him any confidence in us being able to run that play in that situation. I would've liked a fake to the FB and toss better than a sneak. But that's speaking in hindsight

[Mr.Debonair]

That's like 3 or 4 on Toler

[oldunclemark]

Good thing there was a rush...Sanders was open

[Superman]

Yup, marched down the field for a field goal. Denver's D is pretty good but the O can't seem to get a TD In the red zone.

 

Very frustrating. Gotta punch it in down there.

[GoColts8818]

Huge third down coming up here.

[Superman]

I don't think QB sneak is about physically imposing your will. But you shouldn't allow the other team's line a yard into your backfield on the snap. I actually think the Broncos were in the neutral zone, but whatever. We didn't execute well up front, and the rest is history. I'm fine with the sneak, I just don't like the hurry-up sneak.

[oldunclemark]

That's like 3 or 4 on Toler

In Toler's defense...if he doesn't hold Demariyus Thomas...he cant cover him

[B~Town]

Come on boys acouple scores and we are in it

[B~Town]

Whalen!!!!!!!!!!!

[Superman]

Rats.

[oldunclemark]

a miracle??

[B~Town]

noooooo

[smoncrieff]

Knee was down...crap

[LordHelpOurColts]

how did the ref miss that call?

 

Whalen is too slow to be a returner

[Mr.Debonair]

Is Whalen the most dynamic option back there on PR or just the safest?

[GoColts8818]

Colts can't ever catch a break.

[oldunclemark]

We need the replay people in NY to be blind drunk..right now

[TKnight24]

Got a broken ankle but was hopping happy seeing Whalen go down that field

But coming back smh

[Superman]

Defense was terrible in the first half. Just had a GREAT third quarter. Denver never got close.

[Imped]

He's down, no doubt.
