I guess we have to be understanding with Swoope..I didn't know he never played in high school either

 

I think he's come along fine and was good to have as a 3rd TE. Not sure he's ready for heavy targetting just yet. 

[JlynRN 735]

Well that's the way to answer the titans opening drive.  Score 7 of our own !!!

Just makes me shake my head even more how we put so much time into him when he literally has 0 football playing experience.  I thought he at least had some high school experience.  But we kept a guy on our practice squad for a few years and tried to make him a football tight end when he's never even played the game at any organized level.  Sticking round pegs into square holes, the trademark of this regime

Lets go Colts!

[Indy_Mike 568]

Lots of wood being chopped today! 

[SteelCityColt 8,069]

That's actually a nice play there, like that angle route by Gore as an option.

[legend300 101]

We needed that, let's get a stop defense.  

[oldunclemark 10,311]

Luck said to Swope: "Congratulations on your first NFL catch!"

Swoope said to Luck: "That's my first catch at any level. I didn't play in college or high school"

 

Luck: "Nobody told me that"

[HungarianColtsFan 2,136]

This gonna be a big gun-sling today....

I'm not as upset by this, it's sorta what the PS is for after all. 

 

It does show the crying out need for some form of developmental league.

I'd rather have spend that time and energy on someone who has a higher floor than a guy with literally 0 organized football experience

Yep. A minor league of sorts would be awesome. I'd try out (most likely fail) but why not?

[SteelCityColt 8,069]

The positive to take is that we moved the ball quite well against a defense that's quietly decent and that's with some very egregious drops thrown in.

 

The negative, our D.

[coltsfan77 111]

Funny, more relaxed when D is on the field. Guess know what to expect. The O when I seem to be the most nervous. Never know what you get!

Can Pat just kick an onside kick every time.

Didn't some HS team try this? Refused to punt and onside kicked every kick off. 

[RollerColt 1,563]

Miscommunication on the Titans.

[21isSuperman 13,570]

A quick 3 and out for Tennessee

[BPindy 379]

There we go D!

[legend300 101]

That was a nice 3 and out.  Let's go offense. 

[oldunclemark 10,311]

wow.,.,.we're not playing the '85 Bears are we??

[backshoulderfade 1,857]

Winning on first down is important  good example there. Go D.

[JlynRN 735]

Well that was a good series by the D that time, forced a quick 3 and out.

Back to back drops.  That's brutal

Reggie needs to come back and smack some heads around.  Pathetic.

[RollerColt 1,563]

And we answer with a bad miscommunication of our own.

[21isSuperman 13,570]

What a punt

[oldunclemark 10,311]

TY wa s held..ref missed it

[SteelCityColt 8,069]

Pat... putting the Boom in Boomstick for sure. 

[21isSuperman 13,570]

Does anyone think Mariota sounds like the QB from Tecmo Bowl?

I just hope he doesn't go Bo mode on us.

[SteelCityColt 8,069]

"He needs defenses to try and defend that run game" 

 

Good job it looks like we gave up trying to stop the run a long time ago.

[coltsfan77 111]

Know it's not 4th down, but you Think they line up in shotgun?
