It's worked.  But four runs at almost half is sickening.

Is Taylor hurt?

Bingo.  And they're absolutely cool with 11 play drives ending in FGs.  That last drive was a win across the board for the team and staff.  They won't rip guys because that's what the D is supposed to do.  Now, we fans hate it u less there's a big play or a misfire by the O.... But as long as we win, who cares.  

My god. Campbell is out one catch and he's done.

All it matters is if we win, we all know Houston stinks but any division win is good and we need win here badly.

This coaching staff looks inept

[Jackie Daytona]

Mack pays for his patience there.

They’re taking away the deep threats. You force them to make more plays that are shorter which in turns allows for more plays which means more opportunities for them to mess it up or we get a sack/TO. 

I get the scheme, I just don't like it. You can't tell me letting a rookie QB throw 70+% completions, isn't bad.

[John Waylon]

This is fun. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

TY looking like prime TY. 1st down!

Definitely ...but a win here should be a given, if not we have much larger issues.... Establishing who this team is is as big a goal as any past the win.

I can, if he throws for 350 yards, no TDs, and three fgs.... I think this team will gladly take that

13 plays and 6 minutes off the board for 3 points? That’s a win. Our offense should be able to put up TDs.

The only thing I can think, is they are trying to rest him a little more since it was a short week.

[Solid84]

Nice catch by Pitt. 

[MB-ColtsFan]

CW is on fire these last 2 games

[bluebombers87]

Bull

Yeah if lose this it would be embarrassing, we need to beat the teams we should beat and then split with Tennessee. 

[Catloaf]

We're doing well overall on offense but why are we running it with Hines and why does JT have only two runs?  So bizarre how our offensive philosophy drastically changes every week.

[RollerColt]

Refs again! Even in our own house they are against us. I am so sick of this every week.

If we are gonna allow 350 yards to Davis mills what do you think a player like Allen, Brady, or even Lawrence will do

He's like 23 years old, he'll be fine.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I thought Wentz drew them offsides but the REFS said otherwise.

That was on Fisher didn't look like the defender entered the neutral zone.

I don't know why they aren't riding Taylor.... Ever since Mack +ed and moaned about a trade, he's been taking carries from Taylor at a higher rate than I really think they wanted to.... I don't think they'd cowtow to his needs, but it sure lines up.

Yeah!! No other team has bad calls go against them!! Ever!! Only us!  HARUMPH!

Yep, notice how he had to reach twice to touch him....

[RollerColt]

Ugh…. 

[John Waylon]

Oh no, Mo.

[Jackie Daytona]

Lol that was a lot behind Mo.... Shoulda caught it, but not surprised that didn't work.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Pass was behind him but Mo needs to catch that! Mo not bringing his A game today.

[RollerColt]

Full blitz this kid. Full blitz him. Get a safety. I don’t want to see the Texans go all the way down the field and then tie it.

[Jackie Daytona]

Every team gets injuries... It seems like we get almost all foot injuries this year, is it just confirmation bias?

I don't think they can go all the way down the field in the time left without a busted coverage....so I'd be ok blitzing but maybe not the house.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The big plays were great but we didn’t establish the run at all that first half.

We're prob going to play prevent defense like we did the entire 4th quarter against the Ravens.

 

"Prevent" stands for "prevent yourselves from winning"

[Coltsfan98]

Bad throw there by Wentz, made it too hard for Mo. Leads him there it's probably a first down.

Nope he didn't, that was a difficult catch but he's 2 for 2 on drops. the first hitting him perfectly in both hands.

Hopefully they do in the second.

My least favorite defensive scheme. 

[cgi4life]

It feels like Riech is his own worst enemy, it's like he trying to prove Wentz value and not run Taylor.

Oh definitely not anything like a zero blitz. Moot point now though… why did Frank take a time out there?

[John Waylon]

Defense no. 

[RollerColt]

That was pathetic.

[John Waylon]

Defense yes.
