I thought we could lose to this Bengals team, we are seriously missing Leonard on Defense, He was the leader and kept everyone in the game. Although I thought they would do better than this but our Offense needs to actually get a drive going.

This is bigger than Leonard

[Fisticuffs111]

Also, there’s absolutely no reason the review should’ve taken that long. That was five-ten minutes

[#12.]

Anyone have a nickname for the defense yet?

yea rivers only threw 3 check downs though .   he cant push the ball down field so it limits the offense

Not disagreeing with you but Rivers is mediocre at best.  But when we went to run the ball and we can’t like we have all year...you don’t have a chance with Rivers noodle arm unfortunately

 

to you both.... why be whiney "you know what's" about Rivers right now when he has zero to do with what's happening.

 

Our D sucks. Reich's game plan, game prep, and play calling sucks. When Rivers tosses an INT or makes a bad pass, let me know.

Yeah the bengals lines are owning everything.  Leonard doesn’t play on the lines.

Why not

This is where we’re at. Turning to Jacoby is justifiable.

This formula, what we're trying to do with a 39 year old QB, only works if you have a defense and running game.  Currently we don't.

We did prior to this year though, at least a running game....Taylor being in the gun every snap is a complete waste.

[a06cc]

Still plenty of this mess to continue. We’re at home losing like this. 

[Moosejawcolt]

Hey Crazy colts.  U still think I am super negative?????  I hate being right my dear bloggers buti was. Over rared HM.  Terrible defensive scheme.Terrible D coordinator. Over rated talent. Wow....a starement gane bout the direction of this Colts franchise.

Or any reasonably talented QB.

[Gramz]

What is going on with our DEF

[James]

Enough!!!

 

Irsay should terminate their (Reich and Eberflus) contracts immediately. Horrific defense. Almost as bad as the offense.

Burrow and Bengals looked like one of the worst teams last week losing by 24(!) points. Now up 21 against the Colts?!
 

Don’t give me the Leonard excuse - one star player being out shouldn’t lead to a total collapse. 

[Nesjan3]

does anyone else think the defense is checked out because the offense is so bad

[coltfaninnewyork]

No more talk of a elite defense,inept a disgrace

But don’t worry if they play well in the second half when the bengals go into don’t make a mistake mode with a big lead and Rivers throws an inevitable pick when teams know he has to take chances this will all be rivers fault and there will be thread talking about how elite the defense is.

You bet is. I put the blame squarely on the GM. 

[RollerColt]

I’m sick to my stomach thinking of this trash defense playing the Ravens. Probably’ll give up 70+ points.

Buckner just got driven back about 100 yards.

 

Venturi says same for Houston too. Like it was a Blue wave retreat.

Nope....cheesecloth stops solids.

This team is an absolute disappointment

but like, look at what Jacksonville had to deal with for 2 years in a row with bortles. That defense was lighting it up all year with all those divas all while carrying that offense

This is exactly why looking at stats/highlights isolation can be misleading.  Defense lays a total egg so far and that puts more pressure on an offense that basically has minimal firepower for big plays

I look at stats all day long, and I've been saying our D is charmin soft since Week 1 vs Jax. You can both appreciate stats and not agree with them. But you can also see many stats that would suggest we're not that good on D. 

[coltfaninnewyork]

Way to head onto the bye

Oh and over rated O line which has regr5eaaed ever since firing their O line coach

It’s a political act. If he is (or was) allowed to subject me to it during a football game then I am allowed to criticize him for it during a football game.

That has nothing to do with what’s going on the field.  Stop trying to drag this into this because you don’t like it.  Was it an issue when they dismantled the Jets?  If not.  Then stop.

[bestQBever]

catch

[CobraKai344]

Too close to call but Reich doesn’t have a good track record of challenges but not like he has anything to lose being down 21-0

[chad hugo]

Is Reich just bored?

[Fluke_33]

They’ll give this to us out of pity 

[RollerColt]

Reich just wasted a timeout and a challenge. 

[Smoke317]

Rivers & Reich will get to execute their dream game plan and throw it 50 times today. 

[dw49]

Nixon was down . Would have scored anyway I'm sure but would be nice to get 1 call ?

 

[SteelCityColt]

When will the NFL sort out the catch rule....
