Colts Vs. Chargers Game Day Thread

[oldunclemark]

I don't think when one guy sacks you and the other rips the ball out...it makes you trash..

 

..but its tied and we outplayed them..and this is a must win

[Fx Stryker]

Anytime Luck is about to be sacked I'd wish he'd just hit the deck.

[21isSuperman]

Getting booed by the home fans.  Not the first time it has happened with this regime

[IndyD4U]

Whelp... At least we started off stronger. Good thing we're a second half team

What are you doing pagano?!

Its been called over and over that the qb is in the ds grasp and they blow it dead. Luck gets hit and drug 3 yards then stripped.

They replayed it like 10 times and Luck was actually going forward when he got stripped. Can't blow that dead. He was literally pulling 3 dudes forward 

[boogmanningluck]

Just so tired of Luck's inability to hang onto ball. Should have been called dead but still inexcusable.  

[Jay Roland]

Colts need a good chewing out at halftime

Just now, James said:

 

He has like the 2nd most turnovers after Cutler, I think. That's simply not good enough regardless of INT%. He is a turnover machine, and he kills our momentum yet again. Offense has been good at moving the ball, but Luck turns it over too frequently.

 

Jesus do you not get what INT% means? He is asked to throw so much more than other QBs, of course he's going to in raw numbers have more INTs. But as a body of work he throws less picks comparatively. If you just want to look at numbers without context, I can't help you and watching Skip is probably a good match.

 

He's 60th by the way in terms of all active QBs and 132nd in all QBs who've played 50 or more games since the merger.

 

 

[GoColtsWin]

Feed Gore campaign! Get on board the Gore express, there's room for all.

[oldunclemark]

wow....ND just fired their defensive coordinator..

..that ship is sinking

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Gore is literally not going to get 100 yards. This counter momentum is making us crap our superhero underwear

Cuz the QB can't be trusted right now

[Andrew Luck fan club]

What has happened to this offense

[SteelCityColt]

i dont want to go strictly by % though

 

What if throwing an int turns into a pick six or leads to a TD on the next drive?  even with a low percentage, a high volume of interceptions or fumbles will kill you

 

Urg.... then you need to go bang on the coaches for asking him to throw so much, not the QB.

 

Besides, what if it leads a TD etc... once the turnover has been made that's out the hands of the QB and in the hands of the football gods.

If we can't trust our QB, we can't win the game.

The only turnovers I like are Apple

i know you were quoting him, but its about what i was saying

 

high volumes of turn overs can easily lose you games, even if your int % is low or mid pack

[cgi4life]

We will be ok, 2nd half is our time

I agree, he should have played dead.

[Coltsman1788]

All our momentum built up in 1st half killed now thanks to turnover machine wearing number 12.  Smh

Well if he keeps it up, then we won't win

[rockywoj]

55 seconds & 2 timeouts, but instead run out the clock, but almost give up the ball in so doing.   Ugh.

 

and there is something to be said for the way Manning would just go immediately down when everything collapses around him.   Awareness of the situation is very important and into year 5, Luck is not yet fully getting it.  Colts were in scoring position, Luck needs to play smarter.

I don't think you understand how this works.

blaming Luck is just stupid. truth is colts are just a terrible team!

He's the guy who carries us....he made one bad pass...

...sack fumble's not on him..we have to protect him...its that simply.

SD is bringing the house....we've got to keep the front door locked

Luck isn't perfect though.

[Coltsman1788]

Gore better to hit 100 yards today.  He is already at 70 in first half.

Dude threw a terrible interception and just fumbled and gave them free points.

 

You don't risk him screwing up again. Just go into the half tied

Yup replayed it 10 times he wasnt dragging them they were dragging him. Not to mention he got hit in the head right before the strip. But the refs are always right.

I don't know if you're joking or not but I think he really should have just gone down with all thought to not getting stripped Lol. 

[Colt Overseas]

I think we will find a way to lose this game, despite being the better team.

You are right...young QBs don't go down quick..in the Eagles-Pitt game ..the Phily coaches are trying to teach Wentz the same thing...and he resists them.

he tried to beak loose instead of going down and it costs us 

[oldunclemark]

Rothlis berger does the same thing..wont go down..sometimes he's stripped

I took a quick look and it looks like he's 15th among active QBs.  The only notable active QBs ahead of him are Romo, Roethlisberger, Dalton, Palmer, and Eli Manning
