The offense looks pretty good. We just can’t get the dang ball.

I just think we need to adjust and execute a little better on D. I dont think we are overmatched. 1st game of the year is usually the sloppiest and then things tighten as more games are played

Offense is clearly not the problem today.

Yes is only 6 points. Vinny missing doesn't  help. Need to get parris Campbell  involved 

[Fisticuffs111]

I'll admit it, I'm not optimistic about a victory at this point. Really hope to be proven wrong of course. 

With how well the Chargers have run the clock off, we're gonna have to play pretty much a perfect half to win the game.

 

[Valpo2004]

Two things that have surprised me.  Browns still suck and Lamar Jackson had a pretty good passing stay line.

[ukcolt12]

A bad decision by the Colts management team. He was wobbly all last season and was dreadful in KC. Brain dead decision

[coltsva]

Ironically, the only time I trust AV these days is if it's a game winning attempt.

Wow! Vinny missed again. Can't win games doing that. Down 17-6 at half. The defensive penalty gives them 7 instead of 3 and then Vinny misses an extra point and a FG, that is just point swings you can't have to beat good teams. This could easily be a 13-10 game but instead we are down 17-6.

We get the ball to start the 2nd half and need 7 IMO to keep this competitive.

Oh, we definitely need 7.

Please retire Vinny.

 

Crap at the end of last season. Still is.

 

It's not AV's responsibility to retire if he can't perform any more.  It is the team management's responsibility to cut him.  If a player wants to continue to play and there is a team that is willing to sign him, then go ahead and continue to play.  It is the responsibility of the management of each team to determine whether having a player on the team hurts or helps the team.

Brissett has been pretty good so far

 

12-14 for 112 yards and TD

 

Not bad 

 

Yeah he's playing very error free and consistent.  Unfortunately Vinny isn't giving him any help, neither is the D so much busting on third and long multiple times.

It isn't insurmountable but AV has to hit kicks and Defense is going to have to make stops

[krunk]

Did we get the ball first?

The rookies need to be benched. They are not ready for the big time.

[Aces101]

Special teams are a disaster today - allowed a 40 yard KO return, allowed a blocked punt, missed PAT, and missed FG.  Pathetic performance so far

[Lucky1]

All things considered I am pretty optimistic about our play. Can Chad Kelly kick field goals?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We get it to start second half.

[krunk]

Game should be even closer if not for that stupid call they made on Autry on the field goal.

Very good thing! Im expecting some points. D needs to tighten from there.

This isn't the big time.  Play these kids.  It's the best way to get better.

[MPStack]

FYI,

 

Aces101 is a troll who shows up on game days and blast the Colts. Don’t give him the time. Go Colts!

[DerekDiggler]

Marlon Mack is not doing us any favors.   He cannot find a hole on his own.   He can't see the field.     I was hoping to be wrong about him this season, and I still am, but we could do so much better at RB and that is what this team needs.   Take pressure off of JB. Keep the ball and keep the D on the sidelines

You see Watkin’s? Dude scored 50+ fantasy points

[DraftMaster]

I'm not really looking forward to playing Tennessee next week... 

[Mr.NotSoCreative]

JB looking pretty solid, we arent gashing with the run game like they are. Id say we will see a lot of passes, hopefully downfield. Think they are missing some secondary starters so should find success there.

It was the right call.

 

Knew what flag was for before they announced it.

 

Only thing stupid about was Autry doing it. Been a penalty for a while now.

Time for a new kicker.

We need to score out of the gate...

 

And then i'll be optimistic.

Not

Man, the trolls and doomsday fans will be out in stride this week if this continues. 

[Douzer]

A scoring drive with a 2 point conversion would be quite welcome.

His get off is when the Colts aren’t playing well. It’s his M.O.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was great blocking and great run.

This whole season is basically one long preseason for the Colts.  It isn't about winning this season.  It is about preparing this team to win in the future.
