There is a difference between commentating and appreciating the play, and "slobbering ..."

I'd be slobbering over 140 yards and 3 TD's in the first half too

Might join you there, sounds like a good enough excuse lol

You're welcome over here

[Coltsman1788]

Not surprised how this is going. Also not going to make too much of it. Titans are beating up on a depleted Colts team that really should not even be playing right now. 

[MTC]

Nothing really you can do. Regroup and get healthy for next week.

[IndyD4U]

Going to be tough to come back from this one. Tennessee is balling and we are a step slow

Buckner showing he's the heart of this Defense.

Alright, who's ready for one of the most epic comebacks of all time?

We're not done yet, a whole half yet to play. We need to make some defensive adjustments, and go high-tempo for all of our offensive possessions until we catch up or  hopefully take the lead. 

each team has around 13 drives a game . colts would have to score at least  3 touchdowns out of 5 drives to just tie it .   that is if they hold them scoreless .    colts to have a chance will have to score at least 4 touchdowns and play 2000 ravens defense . then they have a chance

Stop. Every time it’s the same excuse. It wasn’t a bad call. Both penalties were clear as day. Cut it out with the conspiracy theories.

It’s not a conspiracy it’s calls the officials sometimes let go they didn’t here.  It is what it is.  Given the defenses lack of effort it’s also a non-factor.

[coltfaninnewyork]

Pretty deflated now ,browns and raiders lose will help us 

[Defjamz26]

Buckner is the glue that holds the defense together clearly.

Two time all pro and pro-bowler?

He is doing next to nothing today.

[Wyldhorsefan]

Going to be a long hard road to make tbe playoff if this one stands true. Good news for the Colts is the Raiders are looking too, but it to an NFC team.

[IinD]

Going to be tough this half.

 

They're going to have to have Tenn fall asleep at the wheel for any chance.

Are the players allowed to pull on that ponytail on Henry?

 

Absolutely... but Henry says you have to catch me first...

When did we lose AC?!

Yep

 

On the Brissett TD

What adjustments? Put 9 men in the box to stop the run and let Tannehill shred this porous secondary?

 

That's the way Venturi says he'd rather lose this game, rather than take a demoralizing pounding by Henry.

[yankeeclipper]

If we pull this out it will be a miracle of miracles. We have not stopped them at all and our defensive miscues and penalties are killers. Might be a good game to let Jacoby get some snaps  and not risk having Rivers get killed. Titans are going to tee off on what is now a weak line without Kelly and Castanzo.

I'd appreciate it and comment on it, wouldn't be lining up to "bend over for him" which is what they are sounding like.

[bestQBever]

one quick positive for this moment. The Raiders and Browns are currently losing. Even after we lose this game, we have a good shot at one of the wild card spots

Not to mention the Ravens have to play the Steelers still too so the teams they are battling in the wildcard race aren’t playing well today either.

How bad of an injury to AC?

[ScotColt]

Hope Frank is giving the best half time speech of all time right now

[CanuckColt]

Too many injuries/illnesses....too little talent.

[rockywoj]

I’ve learned never to count out Colts 2nd half comebacks, but I am dubious.

 

Sadly I stand by my thought that the winner of this game wins the division.  Such bad timing for all the players that couldn’t play today.

 

Now I fear the Colts are really in tough to even make the playoffs as a WC, with the Browns and Ravens having already beaten the Colts.  After this game, aside from the necessity of taking care of business vs the Texans and the Jags, the Raiders game becomes utterly critical.  If the Colts don’t come back miraculously today, if they lose to the Raiders, they will miss the playoffs.  
 

I am beginning to have a really bad feeling about 2020.  lol

Sure. You're right. But the showing on defense in the 1st half is hardly worth professional football.

Disagree with that he’s made most of the few plays the defense has made,  they are getting destroyed on he line.  Leonard doesn’t play line.

[Thunderbolt]

The rate Titans is going, might be 70 pts by end of the game.  Embarrassing loss for the Colts today.....

[2006Coltsbestever]

Of course if we lose it will make it tougher to win the division but we still would have about a 40% chance so not impossible due to splitting with them. We would need a little help but Tennessee still has to play GB and the Browns.

It looked pretty bleak when we were down 21 to the Bengals or 14 twice to the Packers and we found a way to get it done in both of those cases.

 

Our defense has traditionally played alot better in the second half of games, so if we can get the offense going, we gave a chance.

Boy howdy I do love me some painfully mediocre Colts teams. Can’t wait for next year, maybe then we’ll figure out how to beat teams with winning records.

You mean like we did last week...

It is because every time he gets called for something it’s the “refs”. Any time it’s some fan favorite that hasn’t done anything it’s the refs. I’ve heard this for years on this board. That’s 3 straight weeks he’s had a DPI. It’s not the refs. The player is terrible. He also got beat by Brown on that TD play. Guess that wasn’t his fault either though.

I'll take it.

 

Just gotta survive this beating and hope others flop with us this weekend.

I don’t know if Frank can fix this with a speech at some point his players have to decide they are sick of getting punched in the mouth.  That’s what they did last week.  If you are in the NFL and need a speech from a coach for that to happen you shouldn’t be in the NFL.

I think to win the division we have to split between the raiders and steelers and win all the other games

[krunk]

I dont even know what to do to stem the tide defensively to give us enough time to get back into this one.

[coming on strong]

signing grover to ten million a year when he only played good this year worries me .  he was solid last year but not ten million a year solid .   

[SR711]

Halftime thoughts

 

1.  I have been one to criticize the D multiple times this year, but realistically, can't say that this is surprising considering who we had and didn't have at the D-line, the type of team we were going up against.  Bad combination of events and frustrating that it happens in a key divisional game where a win would have really put in drivers seat for AFC south.  I guess thats the breaks of trying to have a season while battling a pandemic.  

 

2.  The only path this team has to winning (especially against playoff caliber opponents) is when the defense plays lights out, strong football.  The offense is not an explosive play offense.  They are not capable of playing shootout type games.  They will draw blanks first when that happens.  When they are consistently playing from deficits, it is only a matter of time before they are unable to come through.

 

3. If things don't turn quickly in the 3rd, it might be best for Rivers and other starters to sit.  No point in risking further injuries.  We still have a lot of big games left and best to have our best players available for those.

I agre, but....The one call was weak as can be. I watched it 3 times. Our WRs have gotten much worse. 

I did not watch the face penalty. 

 

I thought the first one was legit and the 2nd one was sketchy . Problem is he's constantly using that "arm bar " and officials are now looking for it. I thought he used it again on that first call but I could be wrong. This game is too painful for me to back up and watch plays again. 

On another subject , it was incredible how the O line collapsed when Clark replaced AC. I realize some of it was the Titans disregarded the run but IMO as good as Ballard is , he really messed up not securing some back up T help this off season.
