Which 1 play will people remember in here that ruined our season?

[2006Coltsbestever]

What a grueling season, it ended up disappointing but at least we were playing for something until the last game. My 1 play would be when Wentz missed TY wide open against the Raiders. TY would've scored and game over and we clinch last week. We rest everyone this week and treat it like a Bye and go into the playoffs healthy. 

 

The miss FG at Baltimore to win it too is 1b to me. This a thread based on only 1 play though. Others may have different plays, chime in.

[GoHorse1992]

Wentz missing a wide open TY last week that most likely would have gone to the house and put us in the playoffs.

[Frenchy789]

Blocked FG @Ravens defines this season for me..

[Nesjan3]

That play where Frank went to Ballard and said "Hey that Wentz guy, I can fix him, make the trade" 

[chad72]

Tyquan Lewis blowing his knee out AND fumbled the ball to turn the Titans game around. Losing a guy that was finally turning the corner on the pass rush front which was still anemic and most chances at a division title gone then  was the biggest one.

 

Then Blankenship coming up short on the game winning FG chance.

 

Then Shaq Barrett forced fumble turning Bucs game around.

 

Our team found a way to lose games throughout the year. Then the last 2 games it got worse.

i can think of ten plus plays wentz blew the season with the titans back to back picks the bucs pick .  the guy just had a off year  i am afraid that is who he  really is and just stinks .  he has about one more year to turn it around or ballard will drop him faster than jacoby

[LJpalmbeacher2]

2 plays for me.....both were Wentz interceptions vs the Titans, the last one in OT

[Bravo]

The Baltimore game where Leonard’s NON forward lateral got called back.

 

A whole game in general was the Raiders game. Shouldn’t have even been in this situation vs the Jags…

[chad72]

One play that turned our season around was Hard Knocks…not a fan of being on it

According to experts the reunion has been the best for Wentz and this has been one of the successful year for Wentz, this worries me if this is his best then we are in for a long ride. 

 

For the OP, 

 

Where to start, shovel passes to Donald (Rams)

 

Wentz INT against Titans try to play hero ball for TD by Molden

 

Wentz INT in OT against Titans by Byard

 

Wentz missing wide open TY for possible TD against Raiders

 

Using injured K for Ravens game not sure who to blame there but cost us the game getting blocked by Calais could possibly put us 2 point lead with only 4 mins remaining. 

 

[IndySouthsider]

Wentz named starter on opening day

[RollerColt]

The Wentz interception in OT against the Titans for sure. We win that game and our season most likely ends differently. Oh well. It’s over now. Titans fans can trash talk all they want now. Jags fans too. They’ve owned us for the past couple of years now.

[JediXMan]

Wentz OT INT against the Titans. Had JT open for the check down for at least 15+ yards and near FG range.

[Chrisaaron1023]

How about Rhodes just ever so lightly trying to push brown out of bounds.. giving them the easier TD ever...

 

And forgetting to cover 89 Andrews for a quarter and over time..

dont think ballard will drop him, we have too much invested in him

No way. There is no way he is opening day QB in 2023

Damn good call, I didn't think of that.

The Colts being stopped at 4th and goal  from the 1 on a run against the jags.

Great call there, he did have JT wide open.

i hope but ballard will look very bad after all he gave up to get him

[coltsva]

The play vs Denver where Luck lacerated his kidney. That play has lost us a lot of games.

It was a risk. We all knew it. The risk didn't pay off. I don't hate the risk taking, but continuing the failed risk would be bad leadership.

[John Waylon]

The absolute whiff of a pass to TY will never not be * embarrassing.

Eagles media having a field day about the trade.

[Four2itus]

I personally don't hang a season on a play. That is just venting and a lesson in futility. 

 

Successful seasons or seasons that fall short of expectations, are about hundreds of both good and bad plays. 

 

Had a lot of fun this year. I'm proud of the way this franchise is being built, and I look forward to what the offseason brings to right the ship and bring improvement. 

 

Draft season begins!

Even besides that, the Titans were the ones who murdered his shoulder… 

[tncoltsfan57]

 I agree the whiff to TY last week vs. the Raiders mighta'/coulda' put us in the playoffs. I'm just physically sick (and it's not Covid) over the way we've lost games this year!!! P.S. Wentz has to go!

[Hawkeyecolt]

A lot of good ones listed but if I had to pick one Wentz missing TY is fitting.  
 

The left hand pass for a pick six might be more fitting except that was better than taking a safety at the time. 
 

Lewis blowing out his knee without being touched would be my honorable mention. 

[Stephen]

Not using Taylor in first match up versus Titans when he was averaging 6 a pop. Allowing autry to go to a division rival.

Not having NFL quality pass catchers on roster besides Pittman

They should. They won it hands down. Ballard has egg on his face. 

[Los1sol]

When the GM found out Carson Wentz wasn’t vaccinated and decided that was an acceptable risk.

[Shadow_Creek]

the screen pass on our own 8 yard line vs titans smh

[Thunderbolt]

There were multiple plays that I can pin point that cause us 4 or 5 games in a loss cause by Wentz and Reich's play calling.

 

But to reiterate hoping the owner sees our cry for help, Wentz has to go or make him a back up elsewhere.

Oh this thread wasn't meant for blaming anyone but I made the thread just thinking back about if we could have 1 play back. I wanted to see what people would say.

[BlackTiger]

i will go with the miss to TY last week.  That could have clinched our playoff spot right there.  the int against the titans was bad but the season wasnt on the line and that play might have been less likely to win the game than Ty with no one around

To coin a phrase "don't throw good money after bad"

[FuedinHatfield]

Not benching Wentz at the half and seeing if Sam could provide a spark. 

[Myles]

Mine is the second game against the Titans.   I put this on Reich.  

Up 14-0 this a 3rd and 3 around midfield.   Not only does Reich choose not to run Taylor on 3rd down, he chooses to go for it on 4th and 3 and still doesn't give the ball to Taylor.   I believe if the Colts would have punted, they would have won the game.  Reich also called a game with 54 pass plays and 16 run plays for Taylor.  

[lollygagger8]

The play where reich says for the 1,473,528th time "run it up the middle again"
