2021 Colts at Cardinals Postgame Thoughts

[EastStreet]

As always, please wait till after the game.

 

Give us your 5 or more thoughts. 

[CanuckColtsFan]

I'm absolutely blown away my this yeam right now. Excellent coaching the last two games. JT is a beast. I'm so impressed right now. At 1 and 4 I wrote this season off. Incredible!

[Colt Overseas]

I just want to give George Odum a shoutout.

 

The kid was outstanding tonight.

[Btown_Colt]

Wentz was ugly most of the game. But he made some throws when they mattered most.

 

with all the key players missing, I’ll take the dub.

[MarquisJ]

Great win with all the odds stacked against us

[AwesomeAustin]

Our JV team is better than the NFC!!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I have no idea what happened lol. What a strange game.

 

Wenrz delivers when it matter. Now LT is a big concern. Pryor might play LT next week.

[#12.]

I know everyone enjoyed the win over the Pats, but with the way they gutted this out, this was a better win.

[Fisticuffs111]

What a game.

 

I kinda can’t even believe we still won. Lotta resolve shown. Cardinals made a lot of mistakes in the first half but we did what we had to do without almost our entire OL.

 

Merry Christmas, y’all 

[GoHorse1992]

If you would have told me after the TB game, that we would have beat NE AND went into AZ without many starters, and won, I would have escorted you to the crazy house. TONS of heart on this team. Makes me believe they really can make a run.

This was much more satisfying.

He is an odd one to me. Seems to play well when forced to start due to injury, but isnt consistent enough m, IMO, when has to start multiple games.

 

But yes, he played well.

[smittywerb]

This was a well called game by Reich.  We had the odds stacked against us.  On the road.  4 OL out.  Maniac out.  On the road.  Cards 10-4 looking to clinch a playoff spot.  AND WE WON!  
 

JT goes for 100 again.  Wentz with the BEAUTIFUL pass.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Everyone was trashing Wentz on Twitter before that last TD.

[Coltsfan98]

Huge win!

 

Carson came up clutch when he needed to!

 

Need to get healthy fast!

 

Special teams have some issues to fix.

 

Kicker needs to be addressed at some point. Gotta be able to make a 50 yarder early in the game.

[csmopar]

Wow. In the face of missing the nearly the entire starting OL, then having 3 more OL go down, plus missing 3 other starters on Defense and yet some how we pull out a win wow. 
 

give Reich, Flus and the company coach of the year. Just do it

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Cardinals are in trouble 

[BlackTiger]

What a game, we needed a lot of backups to step up and they did

 

 

[Les Poulains]

One of those games we probably had no business of winning but we were smarter and more mistake free than the opponent. You take those every day, especially at this point of the season. Arizona were awful.

 

Wentz wasn't good but came up big when he needed to. The Oline actually pass protected pretty well, it was the run blocking that was bad. The tight ends helped out the tackles well.

 

Otherwise, Pittman was good. The Dline was good. The linebackers were good. Odum made a couple plays. 

 

In sum, lucky but gutsy win.

 

 

[John Hammonds]

Almost ran out of OL men.

Very nearly played a preseason lineup.

And got a W anyway.

Nice.

[aReggie7]

It wasn't the most important from a playoff % perspective but I still consider tonight a big win. Both teams were missing some key players but AZ is still a quality team. Great to see the Colts go on the road and pull it out.

 

Wentz didn't look sharp again this week but he made some critical throws to get it done.

 

I thought Odum and Speed stepped up on defense.

 

I didn't really notice Paye or Dayo. I was hoping as we close out the regular season those two would flash some.

To be fair before that last TD, he was like 1-6 and over throwing targets. But he settled down

[Solid84]

That was a fight! Ugly win but we got it. 
 

Wentz looked rattled for a big part of the game, but came up big when we needed it most!

 

Taylor got some tough yards today and made some plays. 
 

Defense looked a little shaky early but got it going and closed it down!

 

Frank had some good calls today that gave us big plays when we needed them. 

 

Oline was terrible but I guess we all kinda figured they would be. 
 

 

[Coltsbluefan]

Was an ugly game just glad we came out on top of this one..Merry Christmas Colts Fans!!!

[Solon]

Huge win. Carson Wentz delivered in the 4th quarter. Defense came through with timely stops. Colts are a good football team and I'm loving every minute of it.

[IndyD4U]

Big W in the face of adversity. Nobody wants to play this team in the playoffs. Book it

[Luck is Good]

Everyone deserves praise tonight. That was some performance considering all of the missing players. Still, Reich deserves the most praise. He had his team ready to play and they responded

[Indyfan4life]

Incredibly happy with the gutsy performance considering how many guys we were missing. Frank deserves the game ball for this one. 
 

Guys stepped up that had to and played well. 
 

Bummed that JT didn’t get a TD, but still over 100 yards again. 
 

We could EASILY be 1st in the AFC had the start of the season went better.

Probably because it was deserved

And he pretty well deserved it. But he came through when it mattered, so props to him.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts should be able to clinch a playoff birth against raiders. As long as there aren’t a bunch more covid cases.

[MB-ColtsFan]

somebody please tell me how I’m supposed to sleep tonight??

This team had a few good calls go our way - no doubt, but we’re finally getting those calls for us instead of against us.  Winning makes that happen.

 

Wentz was sloppy early but settled down late.  Oline did enough to win and that was a great effort by them.

 

D played well.  Nice game by Rodgers except for the TD.

 

Congrats to Pattmon - i believe that was his first?  Great game by Frank.

 

Thought Flus did just enough to confuse murray.  Keitty was a force tonight.

That’s ok… 

 

You were trashing the team and the franchise before the game even started.   You were off the bandwagon.  You had given up on the season.  
 

Now you’re criticizing others….   How quickly we forget….

How did you not notice them?! Both of them were in the back field A TON. Murray is just that good against the pressure 

[chad72]

This team has HEART!!! Once we get into the playoffs, we will be a tough out.

 

Where have all the “season is done” folks now when the OL folks went down? Have a little faith please.

I just think it’s funny he comes through right after it.

[coltsfan_canada]

JT amazing would love to have him streak continue but will take W anytime.

 

D played amazing even a lot of piece missing.

 

Awesome coaching RTDB!! lol

 

I know Badgley missed from 53 I wonder would he still stay there?

 

and as I said in another thread Murray is ehhhh overrated never fan of a running QB.

dayo not so much but Paye was in the backfield multiple times.  He looked good to me

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lots of colt fans were there tonight.
