If Brissett's mobility is compromised which it probably is, should just roll with Hoyer.

Don't disagree that it wasn't perhaps needed, he just got unlucky that the 3rd tackler pulls him down into his path to make it look worse than it really was. Tacky call, but hey ho, don't give the refs chance to throw the flag and all that. They should have blown forward progress well before.

 

Agree...don't tempt the poor officiating. I thought Leonard did that on the previous play when it looked like he did the ol' "forearm to the head on the sliding QB" move...which I have seen flagged a lot. But it's his play style...he's fast and physical...and sometimes you get whistled.

 

But that call was actually consistent with the logic on the Watson call last week...because the TE was essentially down and therefore it was late contact/unnecessary roughness/leading with helmet...whatever they actually called.

If that was trash so was then hit by Wyatt on Hoyer.

What? Dude came up from behind and smoked him in the back. Waaaaay after the ball was gone. No way to compare. Leonard makes contact at or around the whistle and receiver is still moving under his own power

[EastStreet]

It should be at least 20-3 or 24-3. P6 that was a 10 or 14 point swing, and and a missed XP.

 

Aside from the INT, Hoyer has played very well. The big dig on him is INTs (career 48-30) but he does throw with good anticipation and leads a WR well. That pop swing pass was nice and that TD to Pascal was a perfect pass over defenders that only Pascal could get too.

 

It's going to be interesting if Hoyer starts the second half. He's been doing a good job of finding open receivers and spreading it around well. 

 

Come on Adam, get those demons out!

You might want to rewatch the play... Leonard made helmet contact as McDonald was falling backwards.  Incidental or not that's going to be a penalty period.  Leonard should have been better

And how many times have we seen players slip a tackle? JB with Von Miller  last week.

[Fisticuffs111]

And Kelly's back out of the game.

Brissett doesn't throw that pick six. I'm not so sure he throws the td to doyle either. Being that the steelers are number 2 in takeaways we need to protect the ball if we want to win

Hoyers pick six was similar to the one brisset threw to tyrann mathieu

Seems unnecessary to put him back out there...if there's a chance to make it worse. That seems to backfire quite often.

 

Right now, the PIT defense doesn't appear to have an answer for Reich's play calls. Just let Hoyer run the offense.

[Stephen]

cox

[SteelCityColt]

So MAC apparently is visible to Hoyer. Interesting.

[Fisticuffs111]

Not too confident in our run game without Kelly.

[HOF19]

I just posted this as a topic >>>>>>>To Colts franchise I can not SUFFER another "Get beat by Pitt on Last Play of Game "

[EastStreet]

JB is still questionable, but Reich said rare scenario of JB going back into the game.

Sounds like unless we're behind he's not going back in.

[MB-ColtsFan]

WOW!   MAC showing power on that run.  He's a really big boy, haha.

You still cannot launch and make contact. Not even sure what the argument is. It was terrible awareness by 53

[Fisticuffs111]

Welp...this could be a long half on offense.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Ryan Kelly out.

 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Indianapolis Warriors..

So you acknowledge the helmet to helmet contact? 

[shasta519]

Pascal is balling today.

[HOF19]

Two ….….Score ……..Lead ……..by ………...4th quarter …...That's the bar I have set for this game !

Or unless Hoyer gets hurt.

Great throw and catch

[Stephen]

nice catch pascal

Agree.  Paschal doing it again today.

When haven’t I? I’ve said it was incidental. I get the rules but if you call it for that in the name of safety but let lineman rip helmets and RBs to get hit in the head every play, comes across hollow

[SteelCityColt]

Just now, BleedBlu8792 said:

I think the contact was incidental due to the player being pulled down into his path by the 3rd tackler, but it is what it is. Don't give the opportunity for the flag. 

[Tsarquise]

Passing game seems better with Hoyer....

[bestQBever]

Brissett would not have been able to make that play

[ColtsSouljah]

should have been PI

[Fisticuffs111]

Not sure about Vinny kicking this far outdoors. I'd have played it too safe and punted.

[Gramz]

Why?

[Fisticuffs111]

Yeah...I would've punted.

[TaylorTheStudMuffin]

We are self destructing.

[SteelCityColt]

Erg... Not sure I liked that call.

[bluebombers87]

Nelson got rocked that play

[jvan1973]

Crap.  Gotta get the ball out quick on 4th down
