James Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have always liked the guy, but that behaviour was disgusting. Downright embarrassing. I thought “flopping” or “diving” was reserved for NBA and soccer players. Matter of fact Doyle was the one who instigated it with a more obvious late hit. Get a grip, Doyle!

lollygagger8 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The flopping wasn't the worst part, Doyle pushing down of the dude's head was. That's very uncharacteristic of Doyle, so I'm not sure what the dude said to him. Either way, not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierHero Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It's football. You literally line up against someone for about three hours trying to beat him into the ground. Aggression and emotion is going to leak out from time to time. Am I happy about it? NO! Stuff like that's gonna happen though. It's a violent game. Heck I don't think I'm a dirty person and I used to do stuff like that. You just need to have a mean mindset and when you do this stuff will happen.

GoColts8818 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Shoving the guys head down was a dirty play. Falling down and acting like the guy killed you when you get shoved is football 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Poulains Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Honestly, the dive was hilarious. No problem with it. This is professional sports, you're trying to win a game, not be the most stand up guy. The problem is the fact he shoved the guy's head into the dirt before that, that was dirty.

JediXMan Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I’m not going to % on a guy for one play he made in his many years with the Colts. This isn’t something he regularly does or is known for. It was a bad play but I’m not going to question his character over one play in the hundreds of snaps he has for the Colts. That would be very silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad72 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I am sure all of you would love to have a "late hit" Rodney Harrison on your team if the number of plays he makes far exceeds the number of late hits he dishes out. I am not going to say Jack Doyle was right but it is not a big deal to me in an emotional sport. It happens. It almost got us the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a “nothing burger”moment by Doyle and he was rewarded by a bone headed move by the DB. I’m sure there was a lot of verbal back and forth all game. A non issue except it gave the Colts a chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - it's not like he spit on the guy or anything, he baited him into a dumb penalty that gave us 15 yards and a chance to win the game.

il vecchio Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 When I saw the title, I thought this thread would be about the far more important aspect, his impact as a receiver. Doyle had one catch for 4 yards. Baltimore's Andrews had 11 catches for 147 yards, 2 TDs and 4 extra points. Andrews ran good routes, used his body to shield the ball from defenders, and had impressive YAC. He was the difference maker in the game. Doyle? No, not so much, despite his significant contract. Doyle will never be at the level of Andrews, but maybe MAC could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle does a lot of the little ugly things that don’t show up in the box score. He’s an old school tightend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweezy32 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 IF Blankenship would have made the field goal, we would have won because of doyle doing that. He got us extra 15 yards.. it was a slight push on the head it was like he through a punch or something. Like I said, if the field goal was made it was cuz of doyle that got that flag thrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle is becoming a non factor in the passing game He’s not exactly a spring chicken anymore. In fact, this is, in all honesty, probably his last year in the league. Doyle was never a star athlete to begin with, and he’s got plenty of tread on the tires. Not washed up, but “well used”. He’s always been a dependable guy that you don’t shy away from throwing to, but he’s never been a guy who you can incorporate as a weapon of the offense. It’s seemed like since Ebron’s big season the offense has used TE’s as primary options less and less. Maybe Ebron and Frank broke each other.

luv_pony_express Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 He’s lucky — very lucky — that turned out the way it did. It was a critical game situation and should’ve and could’ve been 15 yards the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been 15 yards against us, I think there's a pretty good possibility that Doyle wouldn't be a Colt as of this morning - be that as it may, had the field goal attempt sailed through the uprights and we'd won, some folks would've wanted him carried off the field alongside Rodrigo!
