Sackless Streak Over

[Alex22]

What a shame

[SSFiero]

Start a new one. 

[MTC]

It was a good run. Nothing to be ashamed about.

[CR91]

Damn you Kelly for getting hurt!!!!!!! Haha 

[NewEra]

Yeah the loss of Kelly was visible today. 

[Coltsman1788]

It was a nice run. Let’s just hope the good Oline play continues and Kelly returns soon. 

[Four2itus]

Not concerned about how he was sacked, but I didn't like how his shoulder was ground into the turf on the pass he caught. Can we not send him out for passes anymore? I get that we are creating more issues for a defense when we run plays like this, but dang.

Per Reich and Luck, thats not how the play was supposed to go. When Miami crashed the DB which was covering Luck in, Brisket and Luck made the change

I was more concerned when Alonso hit him on the slide. 

 

Alonso is a dirty player......... And looked like Lucks head bounced of the turf a little 

[SSFiero]

I personally liked the luck catch. Teams will have to respect it now. 

[Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers]

I know Luck is not made of glass, but i still hold my breath each time he is hit.

had nothing to do with kellys position..smith just whiffed on his assignment period.

[King Colt]

He's a big boy and no one is better at getting sacked than Luck. I hope the idea of passing to Luck is a passing fancy and we won't see it again.

That sack yes I know. Smith had his hands full. But the way our line looks is different with Kelly in there

My how the tide has turned.

 

We would have been ecstatic with a one-sack game last year.

 

This year?  "You let Andrew get sacked?"

 

[Smoke317]

1 sack & 3 QB hits...  Not a bad day at the office for the O-Line if you ask me.  Luck was 30 for 37...  Luck & the Line still looking masterful in my opinion.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Wasn't there a penalty on it though? So it isn't over right? Unless I missed one. I walked away from the TV about a 1000 times  

[Superman]

I thought the OL played poorly today. Several missed blocks, close calls, and penalties.

 

And still, we gave up just one sack, and averaged 4.5 yards/carry. And Luck had a handful of dropbacks where he had all day to throw. And while he took some hits, some of them weren't about protection at all, and he was probably still only hit maybe 7 or 8 times on 40 plays.

 

Times have really changed.

Yes, Wake got a strip sack on us later.  Were Lucky to recover the fumble. Then I think Vinny shanked the field goal.  So everything went FUBAR there for a couple plays.

Yes there was a penalty on that one BUT there was another sack that counted.

Blow up the line......losers.

Andrew didn't play last year, just FYI

WHAT?!?  I thought Andrew won SB MVP!  And I won the lottery!  And married a super model! 

 

JK.  I know he didn't play.  I never said he did.  Reread the post. 

[John Waylon]

1 like = 1 prayer. 

 

(That is sarcasm. Because when I posted this earlier this year some boob thought it was a legit play for likes so now I have to insult the common sense of most intelligent, forward thinking individuals by adding this disclaimer. You know who you are, thanks for what you did, boob.)

Well I don't know about you, but I at least got the last part of that trifecta

[WarGhost21]

Anybody know the longest streak during which there was just a single sack given up?

What's her name?  Maybe I'll recognize her in one of my very sticky Victoria's Secret catalogues...

I am sorry  but Alonso is NOT a dirty player.. He plays the game hard and does things to go out of the way to avoid plays like the one he had today, his momentum just took him into that hit, but you can see him putting his arms back (dont know how that helped him avoid the hit tho). Last year Alonso carried a running back he caught in mid air versus slamming him into the ground  a to avoid a personal foul. I am not an avid Dolphins fan but I would bet there are more examples of plays like that from Alonso.

Last year he decapitated Joe Flacco....

 

 

If he did this to Luck you would change your mind

He knew better to do that against Luck because his reputation as a dirty player would've went over the top. It was funny because he wanted to cream Luck and then held up with his arms out . He knew not to cross that line 

[chad72]

Well, we played as sloppy a game as we could have in the last 4 or 5 games, against a team well rested on O and D coming off its bye week, and still pulled off a win. No style points in the NFL. I will take this and move on. Next week could be another ugly game win too but it will be on the road and I will take it again.  

 

Our streak of underachieving at Jacksonville lately will hopefully come to an end this time. That team's morale is down, we need to seize on it.

Ok ya that was bad. I do remember that play didn't know it was Alonso. I guess he has some clean plays and some dirty plays... idk like I said I dont follow the Dolphins like at all lol

[BigQandTheManiac]

Well with the way the announcers was beating it into the ground on almost every offensive possession. It was bound to happen. 

 

"1st and 10, Luck hasn't been sacked in 5 straight games."

"2nd & 5, Luck hasn't been sacked in 5 straight games."

"Touchdown Ebron! Luck hasn't been sacked on 5 straight games." 

"Chipshot by Adam V................Luck hasn't been sacked in 5 straight games." 

 

I'm a little superstitious, so I felt like they were jinxing.

Yeah, well, the Pagano fake punt wasn't supposed to go that way either so don't run the play if you're not going to run it as planned.

Yeah, there was a penalty if that's the one everyone is talking about. So if that's the play everyone is talking about that wasn't a sack because of the penalty.  

[pgt_rob]

Even though the streak has ended, it will still be heard around the NFL that Luck has only been sacked 1 time in over a month. Still very good.

If I remember right, that play was ruled that Flacco went into his slide too late, and there was no penalty or dirty play.  Flacco was ruled a running back, eligible for tackling.

 

Sorry, should’ve used Alex’s post for responding...

 

(edit) The NFL later fined him $9115.00 for the hit, per Wikipedia.

[Barry Sears]

Okay, I'm confused on how that was ruled a sack when Luck never hit the ground?  The ball was knocked out of his hand as he was standing upright, so how is that a sack???

 

In my mind, the streak is still alive.

[indyagent17]

It had to happen eventually and if you notice he was standing in pocket too long a few times. When you don't get sacks and have a clean pocket for several games it affects Lucks mindset. But what a play on that pass to Rogers he was all but sacked and his strength and athleticism got us a huge first down. Just my observations
