Why not take a timeout as soon as down and take a shot at end zone?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Reich confuses me so much. Texans have a beat up secondary and we would rather run for a loss. This is the first time I think Jacoby looks a little in easy.

Wanted to save the TO and see if they could clock it. Didn’t get lined up quick enough. It happens

[Fisticuffs111]

I'm not happy with it but it seems pretty obvious that this is what our offense is. Even when we tore the Texans up the first time it was off of mostly crossing/rub routes. No deep stuff.

[krunk]

If we could just put up some more points here.  Our defense can snuff these boys out as long as we don't blow any more coverages.

I wish this offense would open up.

At this point it’s probably time to just admit that it isn’t capable. Brissett is not a QB capable of doing that. He can move the ball down the field at times, but he can’t shoulder a game, take it over, and will us to touchdowns. It doesn’t matter what happens in the secondary, Brissett will never see it. He reads his intended target and everyone else is just wasting time out there. 
 

Not that they can really prey on a secondary anyways...

[WoolMagnet]

Wow.

i’m rather surprised by the negativity.

we havent played well and we’re right in there in a hostile environment against a really good team.

  We’re in great shape for the 2nd half.  We had tuff field position, penalties, and we’re right there.

  If we make the right adjustments, its ours to take.

So are the refs

Now wait a minute 71 had his hands on our rusher the exact same way that Glowinski did earlier and got flagged, but no flag there???? C’mon now what is it with this officiating????

This is one thing that makes this game (NFL) is just getting hard to watch. One time it’s a foul, next time it isn’t. I just don’t understand. The product is becoming hot pile of crap. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I honestly do not think JB is 100% so Reich is going real conservative. I will take 10-10 at the half. The 1 TD they scored that was real bad blown coverage. Our O.Line should wear them down in the end but we can't allow Watson to make big plays.

[OffensivelyPC]

Man, they've really neutered the Supra

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

I want us to air it out for TY but if we can win with dink and dunk let’s do it. No one ever said you had to win pretty

There was 12 seconds when he went down. No chance in hell

Post of the day! 

[bluebombers87]

Honestly what I would like to see is a football show where all the bad calls over the week are shown and broken down by former refs.

 

The bad plays by refs should be highlighted to it forces the refs to be accountable for their bad calls

[krunk]

I just feel that we can snuff these boys out.  Need the offense to put up more points.

if hooker does not blow coverage again

[Rubles]

Is Pascal not playing or just getting totally blanketed?

Except for the games he already did this season. 
 

good god man. Your not getting Peyton Manning Star Wars stats but I can think of games Jacoby did exactly what you just said. Willed us to a win.

[MPStack]

Great game so far, only gripe being Wilkins not one stinking carry. 
 

Go Colts!

[LockeDown]

Yeah, JB is having accuracy issues and he can’t run out of the pocket as well.  

[coltsfeva]

  Got to wonder if they’re just being cautious or if TY’s calf is sore.

  Love to see them open it up too but however they get a W is fine by me.
   Defense is playing well (save the fiasco on the TD to Hopkins).

   Vinny hit that last on solid.

Go Colts!!!

He looked, for lack of a better word, almost gimpy on that TD run. Not terribly so, just wouldn't be surprised if he's not 100%.

I am kind of surprised Reich hasn't sent TY deep one time. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Once again Reich can’t get out of his own way.

Technically 15 but I stand by my point. You keep the TO so you don’t rush your inconsistent kicker if your next play is short of the goal in bounds.

[TrueBlue4ever]

Nice Time of possession, O-line will wear them down. Go Blue!

Yeah, a couple of throws were uncharacteristically behind receivers.  I think the knee is throwing him off just a little bit.

I don’t even see those kind of routes.

Not with a log wrapped his knee

[OffensivelyPC]

Well the good news is we're getting them to play our ball.  This is a team that can hang 45 on you if you're not careful.  

 

That spy is somewhat effective, but I really wish we rushed 4 guys more often.  We're forcing throws assuming Watson will break outside the pocket. 

 

Our coverage could do better than to let guys beat them off their first cut though.  

 

Offense is about what we've come to know under JB.  We're not going to move the ball in chunks.  Man I wish JB was better at anticipating receivers being open.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Hopefully we get a better half.

You still have no chance of clocking. The receiver was to far down the field. You make one throw to the end zone or out of the endzone.

 

That was a no faith in your QB call. Which maybe other are right and the knee is causing some issues

[coach kline]

Need 3 and out

So you eliminate a chunk of your playbook when the other team knows it?

 

We needed the points.

You wouldn't  throw short of the goal. Take the time out and if it us not there he throws it out the back of the endzone.

[ColtsSouljah]

Theses officials.... figure it out. Seriously.

[Taylor5free]

Hopkins trying to intimidate the refs?

[bluebombers87]

So both players go hands to the face but only ours gets called
