Colts @ Jaguars Game Day, September 13, 2020

Sigh

[ColtStrong2013 1,934]

Brutal. 

[IinD 2,146]

wth was that...uggh..

[Happy2BeHere 268]

Rivers is over 300 yards, but he threw 3 picks and all of them were bad. Stats will show two but man he’s made some stupid decisions.

[briansanderson 2]

I’m about done with these coaches. Same crap every year. Ballard has done a good job but have to have coaches that can motivate and get players ready to play. They obviously can’t.

 

And Rivers throwing picks does not surprise me. He had been doing that a lot the last couple of years.

 

* off.

So did Jacksonville have a pre-season? If they are better prepared with the same time and conditions, that says our coaching staff failed.

 

This colts org. Has had weird games when Injuries force In game changes from key players, ours or the opponents.... We've made backups look like hofers for years....except for our own

[needanoline63 126]

Same old Phillip rivers. To bittersweet. 

[bananabucket 131]

Haha

[JlynRN 292]

Ugh. We are not looking good.

[John Waylon 1,824]

It took Rivers 56:36 to wear out his welcome with me. 3 picks today, and every single one of them coming on throws that should have never been made. 
 

He channeled his inner Jacoby and never even looked at anyone else on that last one...

[Hark 415]

[Valpo2004 1,616]

Don't understand how a 17 year vet throws that pass.

[Happy2BeHere 268]

Need the defense to stop this in 3 downs period or it’s game over

[Derakynn 126]

I have not seen a single throw where Rivers wasn't absolutely staring down the receiver.

Hasnt looked good in the past 2 years and now thr opening of 2020. Maybe its thr scheme and coaching and not the players??

Can't play C-2 w/o a dominant DL. The Colts DL is far from dominant. 

[RollerColt 2,670]

Welp... that’s probably all she wrote folks. Imma head out now and try to find some semblance of happiness.

[Mr.Debonair 1,722]

Play Eason. Seen enough of the other two

[Happy2BeHere 268]

Minshew is 19 of 20, ridiculous colts.

[bluebombers87 595]

Swear this team is snake bit

[Shafty138 1,432]

Feel bad for Mack if he's torn his achilles.... Feel bad for us right now.... Pretty sure I'll prefer our position to Jax by end of he though.....

[BProland85 1,508]

If today is any indication on the season, this team is going 6-10. Get the defense fixed NOW and establish the run, so that Rivers doesn't have to carry us.

What’s his longest pass?

Rivers threw bone headed pick.  Jacksonville converts it to a FG.  27 to 20 Jacksonville.

I dy did it for years.... The DL was two guys, and they were worthless without a lead.

[IinD 2,146]

Cmon Rivers... Time to make up for those 2 dumb ints today...

Fixed?  The players are mostly there, the coaching seems lax....

He's inactive

[DontEverGiveUp 900]

Need a miracle from Rivers now.  Terrible way to start the season for the Colts.

[bluebombers87 595]

Well just like last years opener was on Vinny, this one is on Rivers. 10 points off his TOs. We brought in a vet to avoid plays like those.

This isn't unusual, we play extreme soft zone which is basically gifting passes.  Teams never need to run, just throw 8 yard passes all day and win.  

[Valpo2004 1,616]

Still has a chance, but they have to get it together now.

[BProland85 1,508]

Why is this a constant issue EVERY year with this coaching staff and week 1? Are they not preparing like they should?

All three picks have been inexcusable. And some of the throws he has completed have been into tight enough coverage that he really probably shouldn’t have thrown them...

[Shafty138 1,432]

Welp, to OT or not to OT...

[Chrisaaron1023 1,931]

Goodness. I wasn't excited for football this year. This game is not helping

[Happy2BeHere 268]

Gotta get a TD and point after if we want a chance to just make OT now. Shouldn’t have been in this position. I still put 80% of this on our amazingly lackluster defense. Where is Leonard ? I mean we just haven’t had any player on D getting it done. Well Houston has helped he’s probably the best player on the D for today.

[Moosejawcolt 1,622]

Hmmmmmm. Werent numerous polsters calling me Negative before the season?  I didnt jump on the Rivers bandwagon.  I have zero confidence in this defensive scheme. And remeber,this is Ballards choice of D system and D coach. Minshew has missed 1 pass and has 3 tds. Let that sink in. I said in numerous times this team will no go far with this defensive system. Everyone thought Buckner would complete this D. It is early and win or lose. This is not a good showing

Ok. Thank you. Colts play the Vikings next week. We are playing worse. And we are at home.

Pass D is still an issue. No doubt.
