Wildcard Weekend: Colts @ Bills, Jan. 9, 2021, 1:05 PM EST

We just need to complete plays. If Pittman makes that catch or Rodgers gets that INT or Turay doesn't go offsides then this a different game. Let's get a better second half. Let's  go!

[SGIColt]

Momentum has completely gone to the Bills. I’d have sent Hot Rod out for the FG, Turay has got to stay on sides there.

 

Only down 4, shut them down and get it back to start the 3rd

Pittman dropped, fact.

BZZZZZ!!!  Wrong, but thank you for playing the game.

 

Pitt fully laid out for that pass.  It was clearly overthrown.

[#12.]

11 points - can't get in from the 1, Turay gives them 4.

[krunk]

We are the better team today. Theyve gotten us on a play here and a play there.

Calling it a 'drop' is harsh.

Pass was not great, should catch anyway.

when you only do QB sneaks with jacoby teams catch on . Once and a while throw it or dont play jacoby .

 

That's my point. Call something other than a sneak. It is a wasted down. 

[coming on strong]

the first two drives of this half is gonna decide the game . If the colts stop them and score we are in good shape if they score colts are in a really bad spot.

[Rolltide_gocolts]

Bright side.... I’m not mad at Isaiah Rogers getting more reps on the perimeter at corner

That's why I'm not down on passing on the FG. 

 

We're gonna have to get a lead and hold on. We aren't going to win going toe to toe with them.

[SR711]

Also, it is just me or does it seem like the Colts have an especially difficult time punching it in especially inside the 5?

 

I feel like this has been an ongoing issue throughout the season.  

 

Rivers lack of mobility does affect things because the D knows he is not a threat to run it in an does not have to account for him and it takes away rollout type plays, etc.  Thats the only thing I can come up with as to why. 

[Hoose]

Reich IS A TERRIBLE PLAY CALLER. Period. Especially in the red zone.  How many times does he screw things up with his mindless sequence of calls? He is a serious problem for this team going forward. He does not have the ability to call a good consistent game. He’s a darn good head coach. And needs to give up play calling after this season. Just so painful to watch.

We need a big turnover.

 

This is a good take!

[krunk]

If we can stop them on the first drive out of halftime we will take the lead back.

[coming on strong]

If you told me the colts were only gonna score ten at halftime i would of thought it was a blowout .  the defense is playing  good without the off sides colts held them to ten

[ShuteAt168]

Bad red zone play and penalties—problems all year hurting us today.

That's what's sad.  We're the better team, yet they are up by 4 and have the ball

Yes, I believe his issue is he gets beat deep. Playing the over the top zone. If he stays underneath, he should be fine. He has the closing speed to make a difference.

The 3 BIG, unfortunate plays of the 1st half, all of which went against the Colts

 

1. JT drop in open space

2. Frank yet again being a sucker for failed analytics in not taking the give me 3pts

3. Turay for being an undisciplined dink in jumping offside.

Jesus.... I thought they were all under 100 posts.... Calm down friend....1300 of the above posts is way too stressful.

[ColtsFan_98]

Anyone want to take a bet on whether the Bills go down and score another touchdown on the opening drive of the second half?

So what you are saying, is striving to make a game changing play is punishable by banishment? I'm sure turAy is being hard enough on himself, you. Would have never jumped there, we all know that, but the colts for whatever reason we're unable to secure a contract for you.....

Honestly I don’t understand where you’re getting at with this one.  Before the snap, I’m more than sure all of the veterans and players communicated to one another to stay disciplined.  Turay clearly ignored that.  I just don’t think it was a team ball play by him, who JUST came back late into the season

[Chrisaaron1023]

Scared for 2nd half!

Hard to argue.

[chad hugo]

It's only a 4 point game...colts can hang with this high powered offense 

[IinD]

The D is going to tell us quick what this half will look like. If it's easy peezy for Buff, bye bye...

[Coltsman1788]

We still in this despite the gut punch at the end of the first half.  Imo, we can't let Buffalo score a TD on their opening drive to start the second half.  We need our defense to force some turnovers in second half. 

[Hark]

Every single close play in the first half from Bills catches on the sideline to the interception that wasn't went against us and we are still in it. The only exception was the face mask non call. Not saying the calls were wrong, I'm saying in spite of every close play going against them, the boys are still right in the game. Just need to make some plays in 2H

[PrincetonTiger]

[Dasteez]

I honestly don’t think we have the personnel to stop Allen when he runs and throws off the run. There’s just no defensive solution to that equation. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Let's go D!

[Happy2BeHere]

Up the middle running at the goal line is indeed what we should have done

[Anonymous]

In the red zone, you guys should give Rivers more opportunities to throw the ball on a regular pass not some dumb toss play. He had one regular pass and it was almost a TD.

I just doubt he ignored that.  Failed at executing that advice? Absolutely..... Doubt he just went rogue there.....

#3 for sure

 

I also thought Hilton should have caught that ball that Rivers threw in between two Bills defenders.

I don’t think to many teams do.

We have a burgeoning group of sub 100 posters who are seriously. Worked up about knowing more than any colts employee and having amazing thoughts hindsight vs realtime...... Lol

Thanks for your amazing analysis 

 

Last I checked, you dont need an advanced degree to understand football, so why dont you keep the smart alec comments to yourself?

Jacoby quarterback sneak is a wasted play moving forward. Does Frank seriously think that anyone is not going to see it from a mile?

I was told that Reich was just setting up a surprise Jacoby pass play for the playoffs.

 

Oops

That wasn't on Pittman even Boomer said it was on Phil and needed to throw it better, but yes I agree we need to make plays
