All the Phillip rivers haters need to let it go at least today.  He’s the only thing keeping the Colts in this game.

 

Can't make any promises lol. No he is def looking great so far

Too early for Rivers for mvp?

lol if we could wipe out week 1 and week 5 I think he'd have a chance

that sideline shot was a dime and a very nice route.

It definitely was.

 

This has nothing to do with our back and forth, but that is what TY should of done on that play we challenged. Catch it and go to ground.

[MTC]

Like I said earlier, don't panic.

 

Colts looked relaxed and playing back to basics.

Can I cheer for and still be disgusted by this team at the same time LOL 

No. There’s some *r around here who gets upset by that. 

[Fisticuffs111]

Need some of Flus’ adjustments that he’s done well with in the past.

 

And hopefully we don’t change up the offense. Let Rivers take over, change stuff up when he sees fit. He’s feeling it right now.

Even if he makes a mistake right now people shouldn’t lay into him when the “elite” defense spotted the bengals a 21-0 out of the gate.

[Freenyfan102]

What happened  to the chat

[Dasteez]

Let’s go! The last couple throws have been pretty by Rivers. Too early to crown him though. He has a whole half to go.

I’ve yet to see anything be amazing from the defense so far today.

 

Amazing is perhaps too strong, but they started making plays towards the end of the half. TFLs, the sack on Burrow.

[aaron11]

its really hard to rank this team or form any sort of expectations 

[GoColts8818]

Yes the last drive they did their job.  The rest of the half way out weighs that.

[Gramz]

I almost turned it off 10 minutes in.

 

Glad I didn't.  Looking much better!

[Smoke317]

If Rivers is smart, he’d be trying to make Pascal his Keenan Allen.  He’s one of our only receivers that has the awareness to look back to the QB instead of running his routes like a robot...

The flag on Ya-Sin was an absolute killer. The stupidity of it almost had me screaming.

[Wyldhorsefan]

Yep, their choppin' that wood now. Hope they keep it up.

[John Waylon]

Jesus fox’s coverage is awful. Please someone make this stop...

[coming on strong]

the defense is still bothering me .  i was pumping them up after the bears game .  Now they look horrible

[EastStreet]

I did which I understand, but you went out of your way to critique a guy who is our 6,7,8th option.

 

When in actuality he has a better career catch % than our #1 WR has in his career.

 

We are lucky to be able to plug Johnson in there.

lol... and I explained the delta with TY. And in the same year, with equal input, TY was 66 vs MJ's 51... 

I simply critiqued him because he is a 6-7-8 guy, and because the topic was he was taking snaps/development away from our younger 6-7-8 guys...

yeah i was rolling my eyes and slouching mid tackle

There are plenty of people in this thread who think that penalty was wrongly called. 

[Smoke317]

Harris rocking the #12 officially puts the final nail in Luck’s Colts career?

It was the Bears. When was the last time the Bears had an offense that you could say was just “alright”? They’ve been “not very good” or worse for a long, long, long time. 

[Numba1Colt]

why do the Colts come into every game and try to do the same thing? let's just be boring and start every game trying to ground and pound... then they get into an early 3rd and long and incomplete... sack... pick... bad mistake. 

 

you have to game plan DIFFERENTLY for every team

 

i don't care who you have at WR or who you DON'T have... be predictable and you LOSE in this league

Yup. If you haven't noticed in other threads, I'm just as critical about TY when he does bad.

They've stopped the bleeding (so far) after the offense woke up.

Whatever you think about whether the rule is stupid or not it is the rule. You know you can't spear/suplex guys.

[coltsfan_canada]

2 years ago we are down by a score and Mr. Doyle fumbled against Cincy and we lost the game.

luck has been done since the moment he retired, too many people keeping the hope alive when it should just be dead

To be fair, he was already mid suplex when the whistle was blown.

[a06cc]

Defense has to put the clamps down in the second half

Oh I know. It was literally a textbook penalty. 
 

But boy, the amount of people who were accusing the refs of being crooked on it... yikes.

Big Poppa Pump would have snapped that suplex off real quick.

Doesn’t matter you can’t suplex like that.  That’s a flag regardless of the whistle.

[GoColts8818]

They had one or two drives where they didn’t give up points.  Let’s see what they do out of the locker room that will be the real test.

Well they have been scoring on their opening drives so there's that.

I know. I isn't really about the Johnson vs Hilton matchup.

 

Just using him as a reference point.

Are we in developmental time though, or win now? 

 

I think Johnson gives us better chance in the present.

 

If the season is a wash, get Patmon and Dulin in there.

And yet when they go tricky with Burton at QB and score a TD people want that play burned.

Doyle already got his fumble out of the way lol

[Smoke317]

Bob Sanders suplexed a Steeler like that back in the day.  And the entire league knew there was a warrior in Indy and the Colonel was taking no prisoners.
