That was the best football game I have seen in a while.

Isn't our schedule weaker then SF

Not sure, but #4 is what I saw on twitter.

Officials should have checked the ball inflation.  I'm pretty certain Bills were using 12 psi balls at the end.

And once again, when the defense needs to rise to an occasion, they instead wilt.

This loss is on the offense and Chud/Pagano's questionable play calls at the end of regulation and in OT.  With about 50 seconds  left in regulation and the ball already in field goal position with a chance to win...they go ultra conservative and don't gain any additional yards to help Vinny out.  In OT...with 4 minutes left.  They start passing and not running clock which resulted in the Colts giving the Bills back the ball with 2 and half minutes left.  More than enough time for a scrub Joe Nobody QB to move his team down the field and beat the Colts...in the snow no less.

What a surprise.  7 points isn't going to cut it. Deplorable offensive performance. 

Brissett is bad.  Chud has no clue.   Belicheck new what he was doing.  Watch Dorsett get hot and help them win another SB.

As it turned out, our QB was Jacoby Nobody.

Yeah , after a few games it always comes out why some of these guys are backups .  The next time Brissett does anything to help this team win in the second half will be the first .

Meh, they played hard for the most part (with the exception of two complete collapses of the defense).  This would have been an easy game to pack it in and just quit.  I will give them some credit for having heart.

 

I expect them to lose, but not look like incompetent losers while doing it.

 

McCoy ran at will. The D did pack it up and quit.

 

Firing Pagano is treating his utter incompetence with too much respect. They should have security escort him out of the stadium. Then start waiving players who don’t want to play. Pagano has infected this team with a losing attitude and allowing the source of the infection to stay is the wrong thing  to do.. I’d be happy to seee the entire offense waived other than Gore. Let him go and find a team that deserves his effort and talent. First offensive player to be waived should be Hilton. He doesn’t try.

Thing to remember though is each play cycle was eating about 25 to 30 seconds. That leaves 20 seconds to get personnel out and clear out all that snow. That’s why we took an additional timeout to clear out. 

 

Agreed it it would’ve been nice to get him about 5 yards closer but he kicked it different than the last time (meaning his kick moved differently).

 I won't fret over his play in a snow game too much.  Still...I'm not too impressed with Brissett.  He seems to have plateaued already...not really getting any better.

Agreed. Worth keeping around until we get someone better or get a good trade.

That's a good point.  It just looked and felt like we could have managed that situation a little better than we did.  Might have cost us a W.

[Coltsman1788]

Next week's game with the Broncos is a must lose for our Colts.   If we want a top 3 pick then this is one they can not afford to win.  See you all on Thursday.  lol

The most ridiculous post I have read in a long time.  Correction.  In the last half hour.

Unintended consequence of us losing games and SF winning games is that it makes SF's schedule weaker and ours stronger

Honestly this is probably the first time in a very very long time I can recall the Colts playing in a foot of snow. I chalk it up to coaches being overly cautious. Frustrating but given the circumstances understandable.

I don't really think we would get much for him in a trade at this point.  I agree he is better than anything else we have for right now.

And I forgot we got lucky and beat them wish they had Jimmy in out game lol

people worry too much about where we pick in the draft

 

our draft classes haven't even done much recently, including ballards

Make no mistake, I am not arguing that Pagano should stay.  Only that I do give these guys some credit for having heart and not packing it in.  Unfortunately, in this league, talent and physical ability trump heart, though.

All of your offensive observatios are valid, but yet ... And once again, when the defense needs to rise to an occasion, they instead wilt.

When was the last time we picked top 5? Oh I remember it was 2012 and our class was awesome that year

I’ve been saying it for a while, don’t be surprised if Pagano stays. GM has been saying this is a rebuild. No franchise QB. I could see them using this as a benchmark and once Luck comes back seeing if he improves the numbers.

We got 2 top talents in one draft and if grigson wasn't stupid and took 2 TEs we prolly get 3 top players 

[aaron11]

i guess ty was there too

 

hell where has he been?

Our QB stinks too. 

With exception of the jags game he actually has played pretty good for us wasn't that bad today either the weather was horrible up there so it will cause a few passes to be overthrown because the wind wasn't good this loss is on Adam two missed field goals.

I'm not saying that he won't.  It's not my decision.  I am only saying that I am not arguing that he should stay.  If it were my decision, he would be gone.  I don't get to see the internal operations of the Colts the way that Irsay and Ballard do, though.

Oh I know you weren’t saying that. I was merely commenting that I think he’s probably gonna stick around st least one more year.

[David Harrington]

I am not a Colts fan or a Buffalo fan. I am a Green Bay fan.  But, as a fan of football, I cannot stand biased officiating. The Colts 2  point conversion was legit. The flag was thrown AFTER the successful conversion, not when the supposed "penalty" took place. IT was like the ref waited to see what happened before he threw the flag.  I cannot stand biased refs! They should have an independent review of all "late flags." Biased refs are ruining this game.

Way too early to grade Ballards first draft class. Its promising though.

i just think if grigson were still here and had that same exact draft class more people would be criticizing  it by now
