Colts @ Cardinals, 12/25/21, 8:15 PM ET

[WoolMagnet]

Valiant effort with what they are workin with.

2nd half will be interesting.  Gotta give them credit so far.  But we dont want the usual 2nd half Colts or its gonna get tough(er).

Considering we are at our 3rd stringers starting on the OL, and the Cardinals are completely run blitzing anytime JT is in, I'm fine with having Hines be in more than usual for sure. Wild game.

D playing hard, Addae pressure helped us get that Safety, need more TY on offense

Addae has made a nice open field tackle as well, filling in as a depth guy just fine.

[holeymoley99]

Likely Stallworth when next O Line goes down.....

We need to do some rollouts with Wentz. Have the TE block & release & TY run a post

JT didn't exactly get much after the first drive though. The oline isn't opening up holes anymore.

It's  a line full of back-ups, and every team we play will be scheming to contain Taylor - he's like Barry Sanders in the way that you can keep him bottled up for most of the game, but he's always a threat to break a long one and take it to the house.

[coltsva]

I don’t care about JT getting 100 yards, a TD, or MVP. I just want the Colts to win this stinking game! 

[richard pallo]

Other than Murray’s broken play run we pretty much have stopped there offense.

Same, but if JT gets those first two along the way I won’t complain!

[#12.]

Move the pocket, roll Wentz out.  Wentz needs to run more.  Use Taylor in the passing game.   Get creative on offense.  Cannot turn the ball over.  3rd and long, just punt it.  A strip sack courtesy of Davenport will turn it/end it just like it did vs. TB.  

[richard pallo]

I think Carson should roll out and run more.

[coming on strong]

it blows my mind how frank has mo lining up on bradens side of the line .   yea great idea leave davenport one on one with a all pro pass rusher

Well u kinda do, we are unbeaten when jt has 100 or more

[Jackie Daytona]

So is Carter O'Donnell the only backup OL we have left tonight?

[Mr.Debonair]

Lineman dropping like flies. This is crazy

[Fisticuffs111]

I’m happy we’re up, but it feels like all the Cards need to do is clean it up and score a couple TD’s and a FG and that’ll be enough. Hope to be wrong

Agreed. They usually fizzle out 2nd half. Also the momentum for the most part has definitely been on the Cards’ side, but our guys are hanging in there! Hoping the Colts keep doing just enough (or the Cards keep messing up just enough) to keep that crowd QUIET! 

[WarHorse68]

Don’t understand why most 2 minute offense situations this year that Hines is in instead of Taylor.  This last drive is not an outlier, it seems to be the Colts preferred lineup.  If Hines was a clearly better receiver, or faster than Taylor…but Taylor catches well and is as explosive or more so than Hines.  Which back do you think the defense wants to see?  Help me understand??

Colts need to wind some clock & get a score. Even a FG is HUGE

I agree, bit man...the OL wheels completely fell off right about the point in the game you start getting off script and adjusting your play calls.

[JediXMan]

Deep passes with this OL will be bad.

Need points here.  Get a 2 score lead and keep the pressure on them.

Frank needs to script a 2nd half start as if its the start of the game.  And be aggressive on D.

I’ll take another safety at this point.

Yes he is, I figure them may bring up Greg Senat but O'Donnell got the call

I don't think he  has time to roll out. The Dends r flying around the tackle.   It's just a really ugly game and if the Colts win it will be a great win considering the shape of the team.

Yup, I think we have to absolutely get points here. Can’t expect Cardinals to keep tripping over themselves.

And yeah that's a shot.  Soccer appeals to an entirely different audience for entirely different reasons.  Saying soccer is entertaining vs. football is like saying because you like Nascar you should find cross country more appealing.... wth.

Wasn’t a shot.  He described how many football games transpire - not just this one.  Simply suggested an alternative.  Btw, I love soccer, as well.

Agreed! Would feel way more comfortable with this instead of heavy reliance on Wentz passing. 

[rock8591]

Watching Davenport is like watching a car accident in slow motion, LOL.

Haha side arm* auto  correct on the phone

Ahhh!  I tried to fill in the word(s) but somehow missed "arm".  Wentz is having a really bad game.  I have no clue where his head is tonight.

[Indyfan4life]

Play calling is definitely going to be interesting this half. Especially if Reed is out rest of the game and Cards keep sending the house on Taylor. 

[strt182]

Free first down

[IndySouthsider]

Sometimes Wentz and Pittman run different plays. 

[Gramz]

are helping us

[strt182]

That was a cheap shot

[Les Poulains]

Arizona have been hilarious.

[Solid84]

What is Wentz doing?!

[strt182]

Reed is back in

[Happy2BeHere]

They should be running JT here, I don’t want a pass heavy game Frank
