Offense is awful as well.  Went away from everything that has been working 

No they haven't, the plays that were working are what they are still attempting.  That's part of the problem.

[coming on strong]

i cant believe colts are about to drop the the 8th seed . this is horrible the offense looks dead the defense is in shambles

[Turftoe]

I preferred it when we were a second half team....

[krunk]

What the Sam Hill are we doing on Offense? This is pitiful!

[bestQBever]

wow nothinf is going our way right now. someone needs to stop the bleeding

[chickenMan]

Geez CBS is beating us over the head with these constant commercials

There is a difference between saying the standards or officiating are poor, and saying it's fixed against your team.

 

It's a lazy fan trope.

 

While I will agree that there have been bad calls, the refs are not the ones who stupidly gifted Big Ben and Steelers 70 yards in yardage by coming out in the 2nd half in ultra soft zone essentially allowing the opposition to gain confidence and rhythm.

[Nesjan3]

All the momentum is with the steelers this could be iced soon if something doesnt change

[compuls1v3]

....still not running....

[Tsarquise]

Wow, crazy how the game has completely flipped.

On the plus side, with two more playoff teams, if we fall out, we'll be two spots higher in the draft by default. Lmao

[Dasteez]

Well ladies and gentlemen, we’re witnessing a complete team meltdown. If they drive down and score a touchdown right here we aren’t really much of a play off caliber team. 

[Fisticuffs111]

This second half is where I’d point to if somebody asked me about my problems with Frank’s play calling.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Let's see a few more flags on the d now...

[aaron11]

still think they should have moved nelson to tackle instead of digging through the bench and practice squads 

[JlynRN]

What is going in with our offensive line?  We need to get back on track here.

That's the amazing HC prospect Eberflus....

[2006Coltsbestever]

All Ben has to do is throw deep and it will be a flag. If I was him I would.

Ran it, got one yard.

colts have no heart

I wouldn't go that far, the refs have definitely  "weighed in" with some of their calls, and non-calls!

Sorry, but Eberflus and his D should be downright embarrassed for some of crap situations they put this team in. 

 

With less than 10 min left in the 3rd quarter, they were staked to a 17 point lead.

 

With pretty full 4th quarter, they have allowed this to be 3 point game.

 

Keep in mind teams like Bengals were able to play better than what Colts D has shown thus 2nd half.

I have said it all season. I will never believe in this scheme or the talent they have assembled on defence.

[yankeeclipper]

do not like play calling in the 2nd half. Offensive line is getting beat

 

[Colts Fan In L.A.]

This feels awful. And always vs Pitt...

What did Rivers see there that he brought the ball back down to get tackled.

The WR fell down...

[IinD]

Can't let this one slip away...cmon Colts.. Wake the # up...

Frank?  What's he called this half.....maybe 12 plays?  I lay this on the * DCs feet moreso than Frank.  Maybe Sirianni....

Thing is, Pitt adjusted to take that away....novel concept I know 

Fitzpatrick was hawking for any crossing routes show the big adjustment

[ColtsGermany]

I think it would be better to not get into the playoffs. 

[compuls1v3]

We're lucky they opted out of a field go and turned it over on downs...holding on to this lead by a hair...

We’re playing 5th and 6th string offensive tackles against one of the best Ds in the league, unfortunately.  Bad timing for that to have to happen.

[CobraKai344]

We are bailing down the field afraid to get beat deep.  Gonna leave everything open underneath and let the March down the field 

[Rolltide_gocolts]

Lemme guess deep pass over thrown by 10yds ... PI 

[Colts1324]

Yes because we are known to run on 2nd and 10 out of the shotgun. We should of ran on 1st down. If we get 4-5 yards, run it again. And again. 

[HungarianColtsFan]

The real Colts' D, please stand up!

[Zoltan]

People acting like we lost when we still have a lead

The scheme is designed to be easy to grasp for young cheap players..... Bad part is, it's equally as easy for offenses to grasp 

[Chrisaaron1023]

What offensive line?

Ran it once.....doesnt mean you stop

Avoiding a turnover.  We are on our 4th string LT now.  Offense is hurting big time.

[Jackie Daytona]

I don't care who beats us, as long as it's not that big mouthed pusscakes 85.
