I can't believe Andrew Luck allowed his team to get shut out

[GusFring]

There are no excuses for that. 

[CanuckColtsFan]

Apparently Doyel is important to this offense. 

[boo2202]

Some blame goes to head coach

He is important, but that's not the main reason today.

You're right, completely his fault.  It's not like there were other players out there. 

[Aluckiswolverine]

He played bad today so yeah some of it is on him but Costonzo and Boehm were trash along with Reich’s playcalling.

That's why we lost.  

  

Jags defense was just that good today. Frank couldn't recognize that and threw away points.  

There's a difference between gutsy and stupid. 

[Mr.Debonair]

Not just on him but he held the ball too long, should have ran a bit more and that TO was bad.

 

Our RBs are okay but not dynamic and not good enough to take over games.

 

O-Line missed Kelly. AC was bad today.

 

Defense played well but gave up too many easy 3rd conversions 

[Case]

This is NOT 100% on Luck. Did you see any separation? Did you see how terrible the oline played. We didn’t run the ball the last 1.5 quarters. We passed on 3 points inside the 5. This is on Reich and the offense as a whole. 

[rock8591]

Boehm and Haeg sucked, would have been better to have Clark in there as a 6th OL at TE instead.

[Narcosys]

Why are people saying we are nothing without doyle? The 4 games he was out, ebron killed it. Jags D played excellent, the coach was the problem here. Andrew had some bad throws, but those play calling and 4th down decisions were the worst.

[dodsworth]

Kelly is more important than we realize

[GusFring]

That int was horrible and it basically set a bad tone for the game. His clock management was horrible. Frank sucked too, but nobody was talking about Frank being mvp. 

[KB]

The trolls have been waiting for weeks to do their thing after a loss.

[b a y s k i]

Not sure why people are surprised, like we suddenly turned into a powerhouse? 

Still a bad roster, Luck couldn't overcome it against the best defense in the league. 

 

Meh, we will assess this and improve. Move on.

[bluebombers87]

He wasn’t alone. There are faults in a lot of areas. Defense mostly did pretty well.

 

I don’t necessarily fault Reich for going for it. He’s a first year coach who was a former player, QB specifically. He’s gonna wanna go for it. He’s gotta learn and I think he will. I predicted 8-8 and were on pace for that. Had we made the playoffs it would’ve been because we played beyond our means.

 

All in all, we played bad. It’s gonna happen. Refs didn’t help us and took away a chance for us (however unlikely we would’ve scored) at the end. I feel that will likely change in the near future.

[NorthernBlue]

Andrew was bad today. No doubt about it. 

 

But two things

 

1) Everyone else was bad too

2) Without him we're not 6-6

[Coltsman1788]

Bad loss by the Colts today. Credit the Jags defense but this is a team we had no business losing to.  Road only gets tougher from here.

"The coach should have called different plays"

 

"Andrew should have made better decisions"

 

"The OLine should have blocked better"

 

"We need better RBs and receivers"

 

"All these injuries are to blame"

 

"The defense shouldn't have allowed Kessler to move the ball"

 

"The team should have won this game"

 

[King Colt]

Well I can't leave this out among all the boo-birds here. The Packers lost to the Cardinals.!! No, not the baseball Cardinals, the Arizona Cardinals. All teams have skunk days and for sure the Colts had theirs today. If there is a gram of good in this a good team responds and goes in to Houston and beats them. We shall see.

It's not like he could have audibled to a FG when his HC goes for it on 4th down in the redzone just to make sure they get some points...

[mahagga73]

We underestimated Kelly value , some of us.  That call on the center that negated a 40 yard pass play in the third quarter was the key play of the game imo.  Killer. Unfortunately , you cant count on Kelly too much , he gets hurt a lot it seems like.

K.  Explain what do u mean Luck was  bad? Give me examples.  I saw a dominant performance from a Jags D. I put this game more on the coaches.  Reich didn't appear to have  his finger on  the pulse of the game.   I could tell by the 1st quarter that points would b hard to come by.   He didn't play the field position game. I had a feeling going into the half that we wouldn't score a td.  Their D was suffocating, it happens.  We embarrassed their D the last time we played.  It was pay back.  I feel Ebrons 4th down play was huge.  Did u not  watch the cowboys dismantle the Saints? Did Brees  have a bad game?  No they juat suffocated him . It happens.....move on.

I'm not saying this loss was on him. Far from it. Receivers couldn't get open. The Oline isn't great at all without Kelly. Play calling was suspect. The run game was DOA.

 

But he wasn't good. The Jaguars played amazing defense today, but Luck missed a few throws, forced that ball early to Ebron on the interception, and I didn't like the lack of urgency in the two minute drills at the end of the half and game (that's a combination of both Luck and the playcalling). 

 

But you're literally right. It happens. Luck is an amazing player and is gonna bounce back. Today wasn't his day. He'll come back next week and toss 3 more TDs 

[Lucky Colts Fan]

I can't believe this website lets us create threads immediately after a loss...

 

The mods entering each thread like:

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

It wasn't Andrew's best day.

[King Colt]

I have the answer. 1) Fire everyone and trade everyone else. 2) Replace all of them with personnel that have no experience in sports both administrative and playing.

The receivers couldn't get open because they are bad receivers.  TY is it.  The run game was DOA because they are also bad.  What defense is going to be afraid of our RB's?  No one.  The only playmaker we have now is TY.  Those are the sad facts.

Well the Packers fired their HC...so not sure that is a good example.

[Trueman]

 You can count on one hand the amount of QB's in this league that could be 6-6 with our current roster.

By the time they made the necessary adjustments to be able to get down the field, it was too late.

The bolded upsets me that you'd say that. Luck should of been playing like his life and career depended on it this game. We put together a 5 game winning streak, were at 6-5 and a realistic chance of making the playoffs. Andrew is smart enough to know the playoff scenarios, he knew there was no room for error. He played the worst game of his career. Not 1 point. More than likely eliminated the Colts from the playoffs yesterday for himself, his teammates, and all the fans who have supported this team throughout his career and their lives. I don't care if breaks the td record next week. The damage is done. He blew it! We are most likely eliminated unless a miracle happens, and there's nothing to root for anymore unless you solely are looking at the young players to continue improving or have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon. My interest level went from a 10 and having fun, to a 1, not caring at all and having the wind sucked out of me. Luck can't redeem himself this year. He blew it! No reason we can't score more than 6 points to win this game. Very disappointed in this team.

[Luck 4 president]

Everybody on offense was bad today. Most of Luck’s throws were into tight windows because our receivers couldn’t consistently get separation. The OL was porous, and the RBs couldn’t make anything happen. Our offense just didn’t show up.

[Roger]

Luck may never live up to the expectations of the Colts fans who were spoiled by Manning. A truly "generational" QB should get his team into the playoffs every year.

 well, a lot of things went out the door this game.  The season in particular.  Playoffs will be a future goal.  Nothing is guaranteed in the NFL, including the playoffs next year.  That's why you "should" play each season as if it's your last.  This season and team were architect-ed for another time-frame, not 2018-2019.  A missed opportunity.
