2021 Season Opener: Seahawks @ Colts, September 12, 2021, 1pm ET

[The Fish]

Looks like a team that didn't really get to practice during camp, is missing guys, has key guys playing more or less hurt (Q and Kelly). Frank is over thinking it. 

 

They'll get better than this, but the first 5 weeks, they need a couple of wins or it doesn't matter if they turn this around or not, because they not winning a playoff game with this kind of effort against good teams.

He's not 100% from that foot surgery. Probably don't want him running much but he's taking a beating in the pocket so they should be rolling him out more.

I think this is fair.

 

Im more worried about our D. That was supposed to be our strength. To be fair they’ve played much better this half but that’s after allowing 21 in the first.

You mean you could see it with a camera 50 feet up and covering a third of the field?!?! Someone get this man a jersey!

I am watching the game. Hines was wide open running out of the backfield. On a 4th and short you even call plays like that, quick throws. Wentz dropped back and didn't even see him.

I dont understand why you don’t take the points 

Because Reich is a swashbuckling wild man?

[IinD]

It's a slow bleed until this is over...

[coming on strong]

All three phases colts are getting beat in every way .  We cant run or throw on them while they are running and throwing at will on us

[Thunderbolt]

Reich and company getting outcoached again....

They had chances....

I know it's only the first game but man.... This gets old. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Big question. Would we had been better off stating Eason this game since he had all camp with the starters and leg Wentz have another week of practice.

Reich could take a #2 on-screen and you'd say it's beautiful lol

Sorry. Not the way our OL is playing. 

Even the radio guys are all over Reich today with comments like "too cute"....

And the radio guys try extra extra hard to be pro-Reich...

So we get a FG there and look how Seattle is moving the ball. I rest my case. A FG would've been worthless. I called it, TD Seattle.

Even Manning missed guys. Not gonna drag a guy for failing to see every thing every time. Now if it keeps happening, different story.

eason could barley move the ball against 3rd stringers he would be killed out there .

The Colts weren't beating Wilson today unless PFM suited up

[austriancolt]

0-1 here we go

[EastStreet]

lol....

 

hey, but at least my hiney is clean

 

[Thunderbolt]

I realized there are 16 games left, but we're looking to start at 0-5.. So I suggest if we end up that way, to put in  Eason and rotate with Ehlinger so we can still keep our #1 draft pick..

[IndySouthsider]

Seattle is in a whole different level than Indy. Contender vs Playoff outsider/hopeful.

Probably because by the time Wentz actually got to look around, he was on the ground. There’s zero reason to be getting hit that quickly out of shotgun. Oline is trash today. When Wentz is getting time, he’s hitting guys. This isn’t Madden with a camera over your damn head. 

[Luck is Good]

Just an awful game all around. A lot to work on with the Rams coming to town next week

[Colts Fan In L.A.]

The roar of Seattle fans IN Indy ...Jfc

Not with how bad the defense is 

[Dingus McGirt]

At least the team doesn’t have a long plane ride home.

Enough with the Eason talk, no Eason would be in the hospital. Why would you think a more immobile QB would play better when the current QB can't even get 1 second without being pressured.

[Captain_Colts1317]

Honestly I think Wentz has looked good for no training camp. Defense needs to be better plain and simple, they played a bad game minus the 3rd quarter. Oline has not had anytime during pre season or camp to get in sync again. Just remember we are going to get better every week as all New pieces slowly start falling into place. Tennessee is losing too so this game is having no affect on the division at least!

[HungarianColtsFan]

Okay, lets see if the team can show something, when there's no pressure anymore.

[coming on strong]

 i honestly think the colts easy schedule last year gave us false hope .  we only beat the packers and titans who were good .  its a good wake up call for reich and ballard to step up.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Talk about taking excitement out of the football season starting. Just bring Eason in so Wentz doesn’t get hurt. This is flat out embarrassing.

[Happy2BeHere]

[IinD]

Frank definitely didn't do the team many favors today... Not saying the players were great, but he didn't help today.

No, it’s that easy. Eason would have been destroyed with the way our line is playing. 

[Coltsfan98]

I expected the offense to struggle a bit but the defense has been a huge disappointment.

A FG gives us points and confidence, and gets the crowd into it a bit..

Getting held on 4th gives Seattle confidence. And sucks the life out of the crowd.

 

Sorry, you don't do that when your OL has been a dumpster fire all day.

Crap, that's an L 

[ColtTerp]

It’s not even that we lost. The combined ineptitude of the coaching decisions, playcalling, terrible line play and to be honest the crowd. Very disappointed in how many Seahawks fans there are. It’s not like they are close by. Disheartening all around.
