After the missed 4th and 1 oppurtunity.

[Dark Superman]

He went up WAY to high on the tackle. had great positioning. had he went lower im sure he would have secured the tackle.

He made a nice one armed tackle on the running back later in the game.. I was impressed.

Agreed, i was surprised he made a few crucial plays. Like that tackle for a loss on Sanders on a screen left on 3rd down. He flew in there and shut that play down. 

[John Waylon]

Pretty sure he destroyed the headset. 

 

 

 

Am I seeing folks defending landry here?

 

I thought the * on my facebook who said "I wish the broncos still had tebow. Peyton is a choker" would be the dumbest thing I'd see all week. 

 

Sadly I am again wrong.

I hope he can make an impact this weekend

[Luck-Fan12]

Good to see that fire but Landry was terrible

[bababooey]

I just happen to think it was a great run by a great runner. The Colts could use a little of that.

Colts got that on 4th and 1 in Cleveland from Boom

[The Peytonator]

Landry was bad, but I just want to say CJ Anderson is every bit as good as MJD in his prime. He is just extremely hard to bring down.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

After Cj anderson got hit behind his own like by three colts players on 4th and one, he somehow broke free and got the first down. Did anybody see chuck pagano Im almost 95% sure he threw his head set to the ground yelling Some profanity. I LOVE THAT FIRE!

I wanted to see him throw his headset. Only up in the air with happiness for our win. And in such a fason. But it's okay.

[NagelHausForge]

It was a truly pathetic tackle attempt. I trust Vontae Davis or Greg Toler would have been more effective than that. The gym has really done wonders for Landry's football abilities.

 

Oh, and how about the Broncos TD. Landry 1 on 1 with D. Thomas. LOL WAT??

 

If you look at the video Davis and Toler arent even paying attention to the Run and are jaw jacking with the 2 Broncos receivers until Davis realizes what is going on... To me that is pi$$ poor discipline.

[lollygagger8]

Man, Redding stiff-armed Werner into the ground chasing Anderson. I almost died. 

 

edit: here's the play. It was way funnier on the close-up, slow-mo shot.

That video is awesome! 

 

Werner has been really bad as of late. 

[bababooey]

Greg and Vontae standing there.....I can't get it out of my head. It's still Peyton Manning at home with an entire quarter left and they are driving.

[lollygagger8]

Jones was totally held (spun around) on the play and still helped make the tackle. Good effort man! 

[lollygagger8]

Greg and Vontae standing there.....I can't get it out of my head. It's still Peyton Manning at home with an entire quarter left and they are driving.

 

No kidding....that is terrible. At least Vontae (finally) figured it out eventually. Toler wanted no part in it. 

[adamthyst]

I was reacting the same as Chuck. I jumped out of my chair and screamed a lot of profanity and a lot of "Landry sucks, he can't tackle" comments mixed in. 

 

I cannot believe three people missed that tackle, but we still won so that's all that matters. Just sharpen up on it. 

[crazycolt1]

Colts got that on 4th and 1 in Cleveland from Boom

Sorry but the run that Anderson got was around a 5 yard pick up with three broken tackles. 4th and 1 don't compare. I am not unhappy with Boom but he is not the work horse Anderson is. I do wish the Colts had a RB as good as Anderson.

Boom is still playing if Anderson was all that & a bag of chips he would have got 2 extra inchs , Boom is definitely a work horse getting it done & a big part of why the Colts are moving on in the playoffs he has been a strong contributor & good IMO ..

I guess you didn't understand my point. Boom does not have the talent level that Anderson does IMO. If you have a different opinion that's fine. I don't understand your negative view anyway.

[chrisfarley]

He did indeed. Redding blew up the play and werner and landry whiffed on making the stop

Redding blew up the play but whiffed too , should have had a piece of jersey or more and made the play, don't give him a mulligan.  Redding did have a really good game along with Arthur Jones.  3 people whiffing is what caused Pagano to give the Bose headphones a stress test.  Having said all that, C.J. Anderson is a little dude with alaming moves.

[Narcosys]

So it's never about the talent of the other players?

You're paid to do one thing. Your job. If everyone else is not, you still have to do yours. True in football and real life. So no, it's not about what other players do or do not do. They will be judged. It's like the little girl YouTube video. "You worry about yo self!"

How can you possible say that?  Herron is averaging 3.4 ypc in the playoffs and goes down on first contact 90% of the time, he is obviously the RB of the future for the Colts.  ANd his 3.4 ypc is leaps and bounds ahead of the other running back that average 3.3 ypc.

With that mindset the Colts should have the best talent in the NFL and every player has to be better than anyone else?

Andersons job is to run to the best of his ability too. And he did on that particular play.

[Dustin]

That's what should be strived for. 

[Coffeedrinker]

As a fan it's not the type of thing I like to see from my favorite team but those type of things happen.  Landry, Werner and Redding all messed up on that play and Anderson make a heck of a play, he wanted that first down and was not going to be denied.

 

But it was just one play of the game.  Outside of that Play Redding played very well.  Werner, in limited snaps did a good job and Landry was his typical self, not good in man on man coverage but put in a solid game.

[Dustin]

You have weird definition of solid. Dude was plain awful. He made a good tackle on that screen pass, but other than that.....

[Narcosys]

That's not even close to what I said. You just worry about doing your job. All 3 could have had him. Landry shouldn't have missed at all. It's not about being better but at this level and that play he should have had him. You're trying to put the onus on me but the fact is you started off excusing Landry for others failures.

[Coffeedrinker]

No he wasn't.  But I tend to look at things on a game by game basis not clouded by my preconceived ideas about a player.

[Dustin]

Off the top of my head:

 

Beat by Julius Thomas on the long ball

Beat by DT for a touchdown

Awful angle on Anderson's 22 yard run when ST pinned the Broncos against their own goal-line

Awful tackle "attempt" on Anderson on 4th and 1

 

Dude is/was/and will always be bad. And since you brought up PFF last time, he got a -1.4 for this game.

[krunk]

No he wasn't.  But I tend to look at things on a game by game basis not clouded by my preconceived ideas about a player.

 

I'm more inclined to agree somewhat with your previous comment on Landry.  He did have some moments in coverage that left me feeling a little annoyed, but he made a number of nice tackles out there except for on the 4th and 1.  He actually even had good tight coverage on Julius Thomas once squeezing him along the sideline which resulted in an incomplete pass.

4 plays out of 66 is what you have.

 

The only reason I brought up pff is because the people in that conversation between Brown and Landry use PFF a lot.  I don't put much stock in their grades.

I remember that play as well.  They tried the same play that he got burnt on earlier in the game and he played it perfectly and didn't allow it.

[Dustin]

I'm sure there were more. He is bad so it's a safe bet.

He's mediocre.

 

On the convenient comment.  If you are so inclined research past posts of my, you will not find one where I put stock in PFF.  I've actually stated in numerous threads that I have found Advanced Football Analytics scoring to be much more accurate than PFF's grades.  But believe want to you want, if Landry playing above average doesn't convince you to change your opinion about him, me telling you the truth about my posts won't make you change your mind about my posts.

You're too nice.

Landry has never been an above average player in his career. Let alone in that game. 

[akcolt]

Landry does what he always does head hunts he even gets a leg that's a done deal. I'd love to give Anderson credit but most NFL RB's are going to break a tackle when the guy is tackling their shoulder pads Sergio Adams heck even Colt makes that play it was like an Oklahoma drill

[Colts420]

I was at Beef o Bradys in newburgh and I almost flipped the damn table

[SevaColt]

Watch Butler top of screen with Davis.

But he didn't. I am not trying to put anything on you. Some players make plays while other don't it's football. To make a big deal out of is really useless. Why is always have to be failures? I guess you think the other teams players cant have good plays?

[deedub75]

He was probably yelling because the corners were just standing there watching.

[jabbanobadda]

This is the first time I watched this replay.  If the corners had their heads in the game he would have been swarmed and tackled for a loss.  Wow!  I hope they got their butts reamed this week for that.  If our team has brain farts like that this week against the Pats, we will lose.  And I don't want to lose to the Pats....I honestly think we have the better team, just need to stay focused.
