Raiders (8-7) @ Colts (9-6), Sunday, January 2nd, 2022, 1:00 PM ET

[coming on strong]

defense really only gave up ten points 3 came from special teams kick return .    offense putting up 3 points is killing the team .

[Smoke317]

Frank has to make some adjustments and get Wentz on track. Maybe time for that Pittman drag route or something. Get MAC open.

It's the scheme. Good qbs will tear it apart

Yep, we are absolutely fine giving chunks up over the middle.  It's by design.  It's why I laugh Everytime someone laments our sucky players giving up catches and yards to TEs.... TEs are going to star against this D even if you have the best cover LBs in history.

[JediXMan]

Well Paye is one of the few bright spots today.

Colts can’t believe they can stick with Wentz right?? They have to plan to move on without him. Experiment failed

Oh that will happen.  I

[Happy2BeHere]

Would be nice to get a 2 for 1 but we have Wentz…

Defense doing fine.

 

Offense pure trash.

Yep.  The D got smashed in the mouth on the opening drive, but have been solid since.  Crummy punt coverage and a flaccid offense areto blame for the deficit on the scoreboard.

This game thread is not too bad. You should read some Vikings ones. They are .

The kind of mental duress Vikings fans have endured over that kind of time span isn’t good for anyone. 

[IrsaysArmy]

I just wanna see Wentz complete 2 passes in a row. Idc if there for 1 yard a piece. Show me you can do it pal. 

[Fisticuffs111]

Hopefully our defense doesn’t get winded if/when our offense gets going.

They have been practising and playing all season. You don’t get ‘out of sync’ in week 17 due to lack of practice….

Yes you do, you have new players in during the week and the sync gets changed, having a different QB do the cadence. Then switching back on game day. OL switching spots as they return from COVID list and Wentz/WRs haven't thrown the ball since last sunday. It's alot of little things that add up.

[JediXMan]

Need to get speed Dulin deep shot?

Paye's a beast

He's definitely having himself a game!

[yankeeclipper]

Don’t really have a big vertical game

[Jackie Daytona]

What this D does, is eliminates the need (in theory) to have to invest big money in CBs, or Safeties.... It wants all it's resources in DL and one or two LB.  Which is cool, I like the philosophy.... It just can be very frustrating to watch teams move at will on you, even if it's all to plan.

We’re stuck with him for at least another year.  He’s just gotta get comfortable. He probably needs that tight end safety blanket. 

[LiveAndLetAddai]

Okay, going to try and be positive....the Colts get the ball back to start the second half and hopefully can make the necessarry adjustments.

[John Waylon]

Score here, score to open the second half, finish with Taylor and get ready for the playoffs. 

[throwing BBZ]

 

  Carson's THING is to roll out and throw crossing patters so...

 if not that what, and if not now when?

[Moosejawcolt]

My concern with Wentz is not that he has been inconsistent . It's the fact that he looks down right horrible. I mean, he is missing throws that a high schooler could make. He seems to b playing scared as of late and revet5ing back to his Philly days. He had not shown me this year that he can carry this team when needed. He has a legit Oline and running game. I get it. He's wrs r very blah, but he looks horrible in his throwing.

Ok we got a blessing! 

[bestQBever]

Ok we HAVE to score after that....

[Happy2BeHere]

That’s lucky! 40 yard line to start

[Jackie Daytona]

This idea that Wentz isn't good enough is bizarre 

[Smoke317]

Kickoff out of bounds. Momentum is changing. We can still use JT (even if it’s playaction). 

[Lucky Colts Fan]

Here we go!

 

Let's get a double-double on either side of the half.

 

It'll be 17-13 before we know it!

[yankeeclipper]

Good field positin

[Lancer1]

If we can go down and get another FG, I'll feel pretty good knowing that we get the ball 1st after halftime.

Wentz doesn’t have anyone getting separation at the moment. 

[Shadow_Creek]

Carson just got activated today to play but didn't practice at all this week so why the heck is he playing in this game???? 

[Indyfan4life]

Heyyyyyy two completions in a row, lol.

[Jackie Daytona]

That throw to Mo Cox sure looked scared.

[Nesjan3]

Thank god were completing some throws

When he is good he uses his legs. But his throws look terrible. Blake Bortles terrible 

[SR711]

Wentz better here going with tempo.

[IndyEric07]

Need to run this 2minute offense the whole game!

[Smoke317]

We need to get 6 here.  Thank God the Raiders went soft prevent. 

[a06cc]

There’s our offense 

[smittywerb]

Offense looks way better when Wentz ain't running the clock down
