2021 Jags at Colts Post Game Thoughts

[EastStreet]

ooooooffffff 

need to poor myself a drink (coffee, not booze lol) before I do my PG though.... 

[King Colt]

Sorry numbers for the second half much like the first few games this season. Can't compete winning only 30 mins.

[Indyfan4life]

The offense went to sleep real early and refused to get out of bed. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Safe to say this jags defense is for real. Did same thing to us they did to the Bills.

 

Paye was a wrecking ball. Dayo with a nice play too. We might of got it right Finally.

 

Give credit to defense for stepping up and Wentz for that final drive to kick the FG.

 

This was a good test. Ugly game and win.

Give jags credit. Second week in a row. They are good defense.

[John Hammonds]

I was getting ready to write a post "NOW the season is over".

Instead, we won.  Ok, we survived.  I don't really want to call it a win.

 

Hey, guess what?  We're 5-5!

 

[Nesjan3]

Were not a playoff team. Have taken a big step backwards from last year. Front office from Ballard all the way down to the coordinators should be feeling some heat from Irsay IMO

[1959Colts]

That was ugly.

[bluephantom87]

 

For all the nice playcalling last week back to the same old same old. I guess Frank didn’t realize after the first two series that the Jags were NOT going to let them run all over the field. Up the gut, up the gut to no avail. Jeez! It took the last drive for the Colts to start passing downfield. I even heard the boo birds at home.

ugly

[AwesomeAustin]

Dayo and Paye both contributed more this game than I believe Turay, Lewis and Banagou did their rookie years.  Yeah that’s probably not true but both players contributed. Let’s hope this jump starts a strong finish to the season for those two!!   Back to .500 with some tough games coming.  Should be fun to watch either way

[MPStack]

About 20 something other teams would’ve beat the Colts today. Thankfully, we played the Jaguars. 

[yankeeclipper]

We are going to have to play 60 minutes  of sound football next week.

Look down field. We have no speed and skill at the wr position. Teams stack the box and go man and the wrist  can't separate.

I know they are. But it’s obvious the offense wasn’t clicking.

The Colts got lucky today

[John Waylon]

 

I don’t know how to sum up how I feel any better than this.

[IinD]

I need to change my shorts..

[colts89]

The oline reared its ugly head again in the 2nd half. Not sure if it had to do with Braden injury last week or Nelson's injury earlier in the game. They were awful in both pass protection and run blocking in the 2nd half and seemed to get worse and worse as the game progressed. Even the last drive needed Wentz heroics to escape a pass rush where every member of their Dline beat our Oline..

 

Wentz played pretty meh overall, but he didn't turn the ball over. Sometimes that's what you need.

 

Our D stepped up to save this game. I'd hope they would be able to against that offense however..

 

This was an average game for the 2021 Colts.

What wr leads the league in yards on 3rd down?

[Solid84]

Ugly, UGLY win. The game @Jacksonville is going to be even worse.

Teams stack the box and shut down the run. There is no way we r going to the play offs. U think we r beating the Pats or  Bucs? WE NEED A WR WITH SPEED AND THE ABILITY TO SCARE THE D!!!!! The real sad part about this game is the penalties on the Oline after a huge run. Watch put for the Pats. They r for real.

[NodakColt]

Better to win ugly than to lose pretty

I have to admit I was chewing on Tums towards the end, Tums and beer is a bad combo, YUCK! I pictured Lawrence throwing a TD to Arnold with no time left. Nice gutty win, I will take it.

Offense isn’t going to click every game. I actually think it was huge win. These are games they failed to close out in the past. This was like a playoff game.

[cjwhiskers]

Offense was a bit rough today but defense played rather well honestly. I think the Jags defense is better than a lot of people are going to give them credit for. 

 

Back to .500 BABY!

That's why he HAS to scheme with rubs, misdirection, stack formations and quick slants UNTIL he can get some speed receivers. Too many slow developing passing plays.

You are right, no speed at all. I know TY has been injured.  I sure hope he can get healthier so he can contribute.  Today was his 32nd birthday but he looks done. 

[John Hammonds]

0 catches for 0 yards for T.Y.

 

End of the road, champ.

Yup, I was pacing like a lion in a cage repeating.. C'mon don't * lose...

[GoColts8818]

The Colts rookies out played the Jags rookie.  Paye lived in the Jags back field and had several pressures and got his first half sack today.  Then Hurricane Dayo got the strip for the W.

Defense was much better today, playing the Jags helped with that.  Still more blitzes and tighter coverage and it yielded better results other than when they went soft a few times and the Jags had success.

Ive defended Frank’s coaching most of the season outside of his play calling.but today was not good.  They just never adjusted on offense.  The Jags just kept blitzing one more than the Colts could block and the Colts kept trying to pound it into the line and throw screens that weren’t there all day.  Finally on the last drive they started to throw it down the field a little bit and it worked when Wentz wasn’t wild.

Speaking of Wentz easily his worst game he’s played since the first Titans game.  He wasn’t reading the field well, the pressure clearly bothered him, he was wild on his throws at times, and he needs to stop this left hand throw stuff.  
The corners were lights out today.  Rock was basically a shut down corner today as the Jags didn’t test him.  Moore played his best game of the season.  Rodgers was very good on the other side too,  honestly once they got out of the zone play scared of the deep pass the corners are much better.  Trust them to be a little more aggressive.  
Special teams was really good.  One blocked punt, close on another, and put heat on a third punt.  Badgley has still yet to mess.  Thank goodness a kicker finally missed vs the Colts too.

[coach kline]

I think Frank forgets there's a second half

[AKB]

I don't like how predictable we became at the end. 

 

Other than that, not much to complain about. Jags have a good emerging defense. They are gonna be dangerous again soon.

Pittman is good, we won so who cares. Whether you win 3-2 or 33-32, a win is a win. We gave away 2 games so the football Gods paid us back today.

Um 1 catch for 6 yards. But yes, he’s toast. Targeted 5 times.

it was a  communication  problem all game . jags kept sending 5 rushers colts would double team one guy leaving a free runner . it was embarrassing . all teams have to do is blitz every play colts cant pick it up

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Rodgers is turning into a very nice CB. His speed is a huge advantage.

He will be better next week, he is coming off an injury. He was injury free today.

If he did, I didn't see it.  I was too busy leaving the Olio B-Dub's outraged.  Never going back there again.  It's a blank building to me forever.
