Could the long trip to London effected the way the Colts played?

It clearly looked like they had jet lag. I don't want to make excuses but we weren't used to the trip and the Jags are used to it . I'm just saying that maybe it had an effect on us.

I know this is seeing the glass half full but....I'm just say'in .

I would agree with you if they didn't look the same as they did the 1st 3 games.

I'm pretty concerned about it coming into this game... a time difference that large and all that traveling really straines on you. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it played a larger part in the loss then what we beleive.

It certainly played a role. But here's the thing. The coaching staff elected to wait until later in the week for the players to leave. Why didn't we leave earlier in the week to better acclimate to the massive time difference?

That has to be one of the worst excuses I've ever heard

[achcolts]

Did the team take a round trip to London for the previous 3 games as well?

FYI. Jags made the same trip.

Long trip??? You guys should take a trip to Asia then and tell me if the London trip is really that bad. I have heard a lot of folks say that the jet lag is bad going east but in my personal experience, it has always been worse coming back, I can only go based on my experience. I do know my 5 year old (8 years old now) daughter slept at odd times after going east  to Asia, she would take naps at 5 pm and wake up at odd times around 2 am in the morning. 

 

If the Colts were sleep walking just for this game's first half, it would be one thing. But then, they have been doing that for a few years now, my friend, across continents and coasts.

I don't even want to hear it because the score was 30-27 so they have more than enough opportunity to win the game.

It's only 5 hours total..... Seattle and the rest of the west have basically the same issue.... this is just an excuse for inexcusable performance.

Luck says everyone wasn't prepared for the game. So I think they were excited about going to London and got the jitters. Who knows.

[NorthernBlue]

Maybe, but didn't they fly in a handful of days early? Like on Wednesday?Jet lag in London isn't THAT bad, compared to other places. 5 Hour difference, usually takes no more than like 2 days to get used to it. That's just me though.

If only I could do a big Santa Claus laugh right now......they lost because we have too many poor players, poor coaching and play calling, and a QB who is being shackled by an owner.....
