Colts @ Eagles Game Day Thread

[NewEra]

Tough loss. To many penalties to overcome. Can't leave 21 points out on the field 

[Wyldhorsefan]

Luck is not ready

Ok, so they send in the back up QB for the hail Mary. What does THAT tell you about Luck's shoulder?

Don't know but it's worrisome to say the least

that brisset has a bigger cannon ?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Boooooooooooooo! We got robbed. Great effort by the Colts. I am proud of our team. If anyone says the REFS didn't rip our D off on that last drive then they are full of it. 

[DraftMaster]

These refs on a payroll?

That tells me all I need to know. His arm strength will never be the same. It was apparent during the game too

[Luck 4 president]

So they don’t have faith in Luck’s arm? That’s not good news 

[Coltsman1788]

Luck couldn’t even throw the Hail Mary pass at the end.  Had to come out for Brissett.  Something is wrong with that arm.

This colts offense is worriesome. 

Absolutely no runnin game whatsoever, but ppl feel like we don’t need better players at RB

TY was locked down, put ppl don’t think we need better WRs

Wentz is what we need Luck to be today. Hope he gets his groove back

[DraftMaster]

Man we gave good effort, our offense looks bad but our defense is young and we'll bounce back next week vs the Texans @ home...

Hmmmmmmmm.............Brissett?  That last drive really seems to paint a picture that they don't trust Luck to go deep.

It doesn't seem to paint a nebulous, ambiguous picture that is up for inerpretation; it was a written sign blatantly stating it lol. 

[TDewar1987]

Okay... ummm why Jacoby... i mean I like Jacoby but that makes literally no sense.

[Coltsman1788]

Luck is now Trent Dilfer.  Smh 

[lance_m8]

Our D is solid they proved it today can not say anything against that they just need to open up luck more he isnt a dink dunk QB was a fun and good game to watch we are on the rise a win next week and we are back on track

[HungarianColtsFan]

Brisett in for Haily Mary??? 

 

We should have scored at least 1 TD from 2 TOs, FGs were not enough.

 

Good effort from the Colts especially from D. Eagles D tested our O-line, and shows there's still work to do.

 

Good night...I mean good afternoon folks!

Solid evidence Luck's arm isn't right.  Dink & dunk when you have to get it into the endzone and then bring in the backup for a long throw. 

 

Sad!

I saw solid evidence on the second to last drive that says otherwise. Luck can put the ball down the field like he needs to. 

 

The last play was actually brilliant. Brissett has a cannon. They didnt feel that it was in Luck-s best interest to throw a 70 plus yard bomb. Thank God we have the coaching staff to think that. It was the right move. 

[Colts_Fan12]

Pretty crappy weather today neither team was great people need to calm the hell down

luck never had a big arm he under threw 10 balls today lost this game  he is overrated was never good just threw the ball 50 times a game so when he threw a lot of yards and tds people think he was good he is not he throws under 60 percent on the season throws 3 picks a game and is injury prone worst waste of a pick i never liked him i wanted to keep manning

[18to87]

This game wasn't on Luck in the slightest. The OL needs to improve and penalties were killer. That was the Superbowl champs out there. 

[DraftMaster]

I got no more reactions now. Tie watch in New Orleans?

[Coltsman1788]

Just now, TDewar1987 said:

Because his arm is better than Luck’s now. 

[Malakai432]

This team really needs a healthy Marlon Mack, AC and Doyle.  That being said I thought that this game had the potential to be a blow out.  Overall they definitely gave themselves plenty of chances to win this one, which actually makes it harder lol.  

[lance_m8]

only problem i have is luck had a few chances to run for a first and he threw it to his credit a few big drops costed him 

[Bluefire4]

Good effort. Unlucky penalties on the Eagles touchdown drives and two bad play calls in the red zone on the pass to TY and going play action on 4th down cost us.

[ColtsAC]

There is the proof Lucy's arm is not back to normal. Kind of disheartening.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Go Cubs, Football and Basketball both need to get their crap together or I will no longer watch. Baseball rules. Boooooooooooooooooo!

[Bluefire4]

Not to mention we didn't take advantage of the two turnovers the defense created.

[kornstar]

Week 3, 3rd game back from that long off from a serious shoulder surgery and you want him to triple the longest throw he’s attempted so far?

 

I’d use Brissett too right now.

 

week 14 and we are in with a chance at the play off? I’m letting Luck try it, not this early.

 

We all know he had a shoulder injury don’t we?

[#12.]

That was a long hail mary.  Brissett has the bigger arm.  No big deal.

At this, I'm actually impressed they came out and crappy elements and remained competitive vs the champions in front of very hostile Philly fans.

It was definitely on Luck lol

[Coltsman1788]

Ballard might have to add a franchise QB to our rebuild shopping list if Luck doesn’t start looking better than what we have seen this season thus far.

Maybe because we have 3 or 4 receivers and they have 9 defensive backs.

I know I'm not good at math, but...

 

Yeah, but the reason they have 9 DBs is because you are at a point in the game where you have to go deep to have a chance.  They're giving up the short throws because they know that the short throws don't give us a chance to win..........and yet we're content to take the short throws.  That is troubling.  You can't just take what the defense gives you there because the defense is deliberately giving you what doesn't give you a chance to win.  In that situation, you've got to challenge the 9 DBs and if you get picked off, you get picked off.  You were going to lose anyway, and you don't improve your chances by taking the short passes.  In my mind, the only reason why you don't go deep there is because you don't want to put it on public display that Luck can't make the deep throws.

[2006Coltsbestever]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Smoke317]

If we’re gonna keep running the dink & dunk offense, then our slot receiver(s) gotta get more catches on slants & digs.  Luck has to have another go to guy besides TY.  It’s time to build that chemistry in practice with forced repetition.  Because we’re leaving a lot of points out on the field.  Could very easily be 3-0.

Exactly.  No point risking Luck's shoulder by throwing all-out when Brissett is probably a top-20 QB in the league with a big arm.  Hail Marys aren't for accuracy anyway.

[DraftMaster]

Man, I can't wait till we win the Super Bowl so I can say I went through moments like these and never gave up as a fan. We'll see, sooner or later we'll have our own bandwagon. I just can't wait... but for now let's beat the 0-3 Texans. We fought hard and we fell short, nobody really thought we could play this close so I'm optimistic...

Why? It's just proof that Jacoby has a rocket. This is a smart coaching staff.
