Punt play fail (merge)

[Crunked]

Punts and kicks he's not spectacular but solid........but keeping butler from an int late in the 4th qtr sealed it for me, I don't need flashy on the KR/PR but what he adds is important....and I can live with that

[Mr.Debonair]

He needs to explain that play

[C0lts088]

Why would you snap that

[RockThatBlue]

I heard pagano even asked why we snapped it. Isn't it a penalty either way? Boy I'm lost.

[RealityIsLuck]

That play is completely his fault, I don't mind the playcall, he just can't snap that. He clearly had no idea what he was doing.

[RealityIsLuck]

Whalen for snapping it. You absolutely can't snap that under any circumstances unless you a) have favourable numbers, b) have someone offside.

[pgt_rob]

Whew. That cost us the game.

[deedub75]

There was no need for that anyway.

[adubb84]

That was the one play besides the onside kick that killed our momentum

[Dustin]

Whoever drew it up and called it.

[Crunked]

yes why would you snap it, but more importantly why would you run it? are we so desperate that we need that kind of trick play....? but its probably the 5th WR's fault for that play call

[Flash7]

The play was designed to confuse the defense and try to draw them off sides. It didn't work and will probably go down as one of the worst plays in Colts history.

[Bluefire4]

It would of been a penalty but no one should have snapped it. We just tried to do too much to get the win today.

[krunk]

Terrible

[cranium cramp]

My avatar represents that play perfectly.

[sfergson727]

I've seen a lot of stupid football in my life, and that by far took the cake.  Freaking Pathetic!

[NewEra]

Cut!

[Nesjan3]

^{ive have never seen anything dumber in my life, pivotle point in the game, could have pinned them deep, ou D had just stopped them one drive ago, 1 possession game, it totally killed all of our momentum, I have no words none except dumbest play ive ever seen in 35 years of watching football, im so mad at these coaches right now}

[neverstop1863]

.....................................................................................................wow.

Even if we did draw them offsides we were called for a penalty. It wouldn't have even mattered

[corgi]

I think they trolled us.

[jjcolts]

Who ever called it!  Because they sure the heck didn't explain what the full plan was.

 

Whalen thinking he was going to take all 5 Patriots down....  oh my

[John Waylon]

The play was designed to confuse the defense and try to draw them off sides. It didn't work and will probably go down as one of the worst plays in Colts history.

That is a terrible excuse. Terrible.

If that was the plan, why wouldn't we send out Luck and his hard count?

If it was a play that we were going to run of everyone followed the formation it was still an entirely illegal formation and would have been called back.

There is no excuse for whatever that was, whether it was supposed to be snapped or not.

[Mr.Debonair]

Dumbest play I ever seen

[deedub75]

This is not college football. Why would that cause anyone to go offsides? It was unnecessary just like the onside kick. We had a chance and the coaches blew it.

Someone had to draw it up for him to have the chance to snap it. He was confused as everyone else and didn't wanna be the cause of a delay of game

[#12.]

Coaching staff. Terrible idea, terrible call in a six point game. What was the point? You're going to take a delay of game and give them 5 yards in what had been a field position battle in the 3rd?

Outside of that play, win or lose, you could have felt good about the result. Instead, they're a punchline for the next week.

[RockThatBlue]

I'm still just dumbfounded. I'd love to hear what Pags says about it in his press conference.

[achcolts]

yea, cut him for being poorly coached on mastering that play or heck even know what to even do

[jjcolts]

Now that I am done being irritated.

 

I am laughing because what the heck was WHalen's plan when he snapped it.....  there were like 5 Patriots right there..... 

[bababooey]

He needs better football IQ to not snap the ball with four guys in his face unblocked

[RockThatBlue]

Goes down in the history of football as Top 10 Worst Play Calling EVER

Worst play call I've seen from a colts team. Even Jim Caldwell never did anything that *ic.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

He needs to GO.

And Never come back!

[Turftoe]

yes why would you snap it, but more importantly why would you run it? are we so desperate that we need that kind of trick play....? but its probably the 5th WR's fault for that play call

 

I think somebody on the coaching staff was trying to out-patriot the patriots.  Too cute for their own good and put the team in a hole.

[jayt327]

Probably the most ridiclious play I've ever seen. Mind as well let Luck try and get 3 yards from a normal formation.

[Bluefire4]

I'm still just dumbfounded. I'd love to hear what Pags says about it in his press conference.

Obviously it shouldn't have been called but Griff can not snap it. They obviously practiced it and they know if you snap it, it would be a penalty. 

[Anonymous]

I don't understand why people are acting as if its the worst play ever or something, plays like these have happened before

 

[pacolts56]

That is a terrible excuse. Terrible.

If that was the plan, why wouldn't we send out Luck and his hard count?

If it was a play that we were going to run of everyone followed the formation it was still an entirely illegal formation and would have been called back.

This ^^^

 

I was fine with the onside kick....and I thought we'd recovered it....but this dopey punt formation was an embarrassing sandlot fiasco, nothing more.
