Wentz looks off. Holding penalty killed what could have been a better drive

Bad flag but I like the playcall.  Get hines in space.  He's a weapon.  Bad flag Pryor.

Cost us a first down and potentially 4 points 

[krunk]

I just don't know what has gone on at times this year with the pass blocking versus what we had last year.  It's just not as good.  Maybe most of last year was a function of Rivers getting rid of it fast. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Better for some points than no points, but should have had a TD that holding call killed that drive

[Smoke317]

Make that safety blitz from 10 yards off the line rather than 2 yards off.

Wentz again let’s the play clock run down & the defense can time up their blitz. Get the dang ball snapped sooner. 

 

I'm noticing that too.  Would like to see him start the play sooner.

We can’t block them. Not sure the oline is ready to be back either 

Our run blocking that drive was solid. That was on Hines to pickup the free blitzer, but he got there too late

[JlynRN]

Well, we got 3 when we really needed 7. But we're on the board. Time for the defense to shut down the raiders.

[coming on strong]

its hard to win without a passing game  in the nfl .  colts have to pass the ball cant have 10 yards passing in a quarter

[yankeeclipper]

Defense needs to stop them

[Fisticuffs111]

Ah dang. Wanted to take more advantage of those two runs.
 

Pass blocking looks inconsistent too.

Two things about this team - not many receivers that beat 1-on-1s and an OL that run blocks better than pass blocks

I think it's Wentz letting the clock run down.  Defense is yo-yo'ing and timing the snap well.  The pass rushers are almost through the line as the ball is getting snapped.

[coming on strong]

the punter cant even get a touchdown  what is going on

[strt182]

Not good when rigo has 2 tackles today

[DEColtsLover36]

I am feeding off of the positivity of those of you saying 3 is good…

 

[chad72]

Our special teams too??? We’re sleepy out there.

Yep, stuck with him

[Happy2BeHere]

Special teams coverage blows today

[IndySouthsider]

Are the colts the only team who doesn’t kick through the end zone?

[IrsaysArmy]

I wonder if Bubba predicted our special teams wouldn’t be able to tackle this week. 

[strt182]

Get a stop here and we good

This is probably my #1 complaint with Wentz. When he does this repeatedly the way he does it helps lead to those ill-advised decisions he makes in an emergency. 

[Lancer1]

Sanchez with his 2nd "tackle" of the game, our kick coverage units have to clean it up!

[a06cc]

Need a pick 6!

[yankeeclipper]

Is wentz just misfiring or is coverage good

[RollerColt]

We need to make some major adjustments at half.

Wentz

[Happy2BeHere]

Dang would have loved a pick there 

[Indyfan4life]

Surprised Rock didn't get a flag there. Wow.

[John Waylon]

Straight up, Rock is lucky he didn’t get flagged for throwing that ball after the play. 

[IndySouthsider]

Someone woke up the Colts Defense

[yankeeclipper]

Need a drive here

[a06cc]

Good defense 

[JlynRN]

Good stop by the defense that drive.

[Fisticuffs111]

Ah good stuff but that would’ve been a clutch int

Raiders don’t give much to outside WRs, TEs and RBs is the way to attack them. They funnel everything to the middle. Have done it throughout the year

Likely a delay of game warning 

[Smoke317]

Defense bowing up. Time for the offense to get on track. If we throw it can we use playaction?

[IrsaysArmy]

Was that not a pick then fumble?
