Can’t wait to get blasted for curling up into a ball on CBS prime slot. So tired of this. Someone needs to be held accountable for this loss; really hinging on wanting to find an Eberflus replacement

Gotta say the offensive play calling in the 2nd half was atrocious as well....

Ty got ran over no flag

And the Colts just sat back and took it like * didn't they?

Rubbish. The refs gave the Colts a chance with that late flag. They didnt convert

They swallowed the whistles when he ran over Hilton.

With all those talented rosters in San Diego, you see why No Super Bowls..... Phillip Rivers can't get it done when it matters most.

We're outside looking in and our playoff Hope's rely on the buffalo bills.

actually since the jets just won, if the steelers beat the browns next week and we win, we take their spot

[chickenMan]

Mock me all you want, but I’m gonna say it:

We need to seriously evaluate a potential replacement for Eberflus. Every game this year our D melts down for entire quarters or halves, and it’s embarrassing

[HOZER]

Unreal.

Looks like Cleveland loses. Not sure what that does for us.

 

Means if the Colts win next week they need a phish, Ravens, or Brows loss to get in.  Miami goes to Pittsburgh and Cleveland plays these Steelers so there is so it gives them more chances.  Colts could also get in by winning the south by winning next week and the Titans losing their last two and they have the Packers and Texans to close.  

[JlynRN]

Obvious PI on TY, not called of course. We breathe on the steelers players, we get flagged. Pathetic.

How does Frank Reich and TY not go ballistic on that non call PI call at the end?

He’s too nice a guy to show emotion.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Then they make us watch Trevor Lawrence waltz into the AFC south

Nah, the PI calls only went one way today.  There were at least three no calls on TY alone.

Colta play zone corners. Wen asked to play man, they struggle and grab a lot

I mean when you nearly tackle the receiver you kinda have to do something.

Yes that very first drive aftet Pitt scored was bad. Play action in their territory on 1st down. We were up two scores should have stuck with JT. Instead frank forces rivers to shoot it out with ben.

[RollerColt]

The only solace is that the Browns choked today. So if we gave Big Bennie Hanna his mojo back, the god dang stupid Steelers should win next week against the Browns, which would put them at 10-6. 
 

We absolutely have to beat the Jaguars. And I mean beat them. We should be * off by this game. 
 

Coaching staff should be forced to walk back to Indianapolis tonight.

[yankeeclipper]

after opening drive in 2nd half - we did nothing. We had no pass rush. Did not get turnovers. Other than goal line stand our offense fell apart and Big Ben got hot. Terrible 2nd half of playing. not having Smith and AC really compromised our offense. Rivers was rushed on pick and last pass attempt to Pascal. Running game all but disappeared in 2nd half after opening drive.

I am so over Alex Kemp.  He didn’t do the Packers game but he did one right after that that was just awfully officiated as well.

for the life of me I do not understand how we can go into the season with so little depth at tackle position. 

That's  Ballard. 

Remember he stresses the trenches & depth!

It's pretty big actually. If they lose next week to Pittsburgh and we best the Jags we'd be in. Other scenarios would be if Ravens or Miami also lose their games next week and we win

Hilton ran into the db on that route.  People want ro whine bout the PI's but the D gave up 17 straight points. However, remeber the D is top 5. I never drank the cool laid

What time out there can take not 1 not 2 but 3 injuries to 3 different Tackles in the same week? Come on

Agreed. Hines should’ve been used more like he was on that last drive.

[DontEverGiveUp]

If the refs called PI on the Steelers like they should have, this game ends differently.  Numerous times TY was tackled and grabbed before the ball got there.

[Wyldhorsefan]

Well unfortunately, my prediction was ultimately right.

Yes and they just gave up on the running game for no reason.  Why they were determined to have Rivers stand back there and throw deep so much with both tackles out is behind me.  I am really disappointed with the second half attack.

Not scared

[chickenMan]

This loss confirms that we are still at least 2-3 years away from being a contender. We need to find a franchise QB (nothing against Rivers), an LT, OL depth, a CB, and maybe a WR. I’m seriously questioning Eberflus right now too.

 

Also, please eject Rock from this team. Yes he makes splash plays occasionally, but he gets burnt way too much.

7 of those points was a nonsense pi not called when rock would have had a pick but claypool committed offensive pi with no call.

This came down the D not being able to get off the field.....generate a pass rush and our secondary sucks

Congrats to Jim Nance, Tony Romo, the refs and the league!

Yeah they love it, pathetic. Why I put my time and heart into this stuff makes me wonder. Not worth my health anymore. TY was even interfered with on that deep pass as well but no call. Old and stale, so @Moosejawcolt and @Chloe6124 who wasn't around all game until we fell behind can rip us apart. I am taking a break from the forum because we got screwed big time and was clearly the better team most of the game.

Well...you finally show up.

[colts89]

I dont want year 2 of PR. The defense #ed up, but the key players there are young and can improve.

Yet Kenny Moore doesn’t touch a guy on a tipped pass and that flag comes out.  Alex Kemp is a complete joke and should be fired.

[aaron11]

that jets browns game was a big deal, we still probably make the playoffs but TL to the jags is basically a done deal

Take the supposed no call penalties out of the game. U happy with the way this defence has been constructed?  I have said since its inception. I hate it

I love our D talent, and I love the attitude the D has with hustling and forcing turnovers. However, Eberflus either starts games flat or doesn’t make adjustments, which always costs us.

I like these odds - as long as we handle our business, we still get into the playoffs as long as Pittsburgh beats the Browns or Buffalo beats Miami, and even if none of that happens, we still win the AFC South if Houston beats Tennessee (as long as the Titans lose to the Packers tonite).

[GoColts8818]

Okay I am out before the people who have been waiting for over a month for a game like this today to say I told you so to push their own agendas get ranting.

Yeah the Playoffs are very much still alive despite what some will say.  Doesn’t make today any less frustrating but that’s the silver lining.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Pitt barely beat cowboys. Loses to a no name team. Can't stop bills. Get blasted by the Bengals. Can't do anything half the game. Explode for 21 in the 2nd half and win against colts.

Would u like a break down of my aft? I live in Canada. The game was actually on tv so I went to the gym.  I was able to work out and enjoy the game. I got home and finished watching the game and did some laundry. Really unable to have the time to go on the forum. However, now I am free...lol
