Reich is one of the main problems. 

He has squandered a lot of talent and opportunities.

Every defender bit!!! Can I just say, stop hiring Jaguar coaches! Gus Bradley? Really?

You rarely ever see a flea flicker being called, so I hardly blame them for biting on it. It didn't help that they had someone so fast like Cooks running deep too.

[coming on strong]

run , run pass

You think 9 or 8??  I am hoping for 6 and concerned

If it's any of those, I'd rather it be less...

Colts a laughing stock 

If they lose this one there is no way to say they aren’t. Especially with how they closed out last season in Jax.

Positive might be Frank would have no choice and might help him get out of the way.

Frank waits too late... lol

 

IMO, normal Frank would still go JT+JT+JT+JT.... Then wait way late and pass intermediate and deep. 

[danlhart87]

lots of overreacting 

it's week 1 folks

 

colts usually start slow

this shouldn't surprise anybody 

[basketballsteve]

Holy cow what a play call..... Unbelievable.

[NFLfan]

Never mind. (3rd quarter started)

They can't be on the field much, or else you take away the three-WR set or 2 TE set.  If they are on the field alot, then you are advertising a gadget play, or, if you don't run it, there is one less blocker.

 

To have two RBs in the same backfield together, at least one needs to be able to lead block for the times when you just run JT normally.   Hines is pretty useless as a RB and always has been.  Sometimes he flashes with a good play, but he's not a guy that fits well into most situations that would allow him to be on the field alot. 

 

Agree about Lindsay...which would reduce Hines snaps even more...and making his $6mil extension a real head scratcher as it should be.  

Well, I said it before, Hines should be the 2nd / 3rd receiver guy on the field at all times, basically.  Plus, that opens up all kinds of mismatches.  Think how KC used Tyreek Hill. Hines could be in that role.

[Smoke317]

Time to scheme Campbell & Pierce into this game.

Centerfield... lol... 

Ouch (Blackmon)

[chickenMan]

Thank goodness we have the best RB in football or this offense would be dead in the water

[Myles]

Need to score on this drive even if it is 3. 

[IndySouthsider]

Heck, I would take Caldwell over Frank

I told people we would get gashed by the run

they have 14 carries for 46 yards. Hardly a gashing

[BlackTiger]

Our tackles are getting beat bad

 

Too late to try Q there ??

[NewColtsFan]

Where I’m watching there is no audio.   Is there any word on Pryor?   Raimann is back in.   

[basketballsteve]

Embarrassing effort.

[Coltsman1788]

At this point Colts offense is just Taylor and Pittman. They have nothing else really. 

[skerfalcon8710]

Stupid penalties come on

[SteelCityColt]

Sloppy flag Q

[IinD]

Pryor not in?

With the off season we had and the talk of being in win now mode, this needs to stop. We need to start winning. 
 

This is such a bad look for Reich and Ballard.

Agree.  If people want him on the field, he needs to be an option alternative to Pitt.  Using him as JTs replacement is a misuse.

 

BUT...he was Mack's replacement before JT, and got a $6 mil extension for being used like that.

 

Apparently, most of us see something the FO doesn't.  Probably visa versa though.  

 

Back to the game......

[Smoke317]

Pierce is getting a rookie baptism today. 

[Coltsman1788]

20 million dollar man with a critical penalty. 

[skerfalcon8710]

Damn Pierce welcome to the nfl 

[chad72]

Pierce still dropped it??

[coming on strong]

butter finger pierce

How? How are they Rusty and Houston is not?

 

That's my question 

 

Also.....at this point, the common denominator is beginning to look like Frank.....if it stays this uninspired, Gus may be our next HC.

 

It’s Reich, he is a poor play caller and just has never had this team prepared like they should be. It’s on him. 

[Solid84]

That’s Pierce out I guess?

[HungarianColtsFan]

they bailed us out there. Dumb fault from Texans.

No way; Jim Mora

[IndySouthsider]

Pierce still dropped it before he got hit

[rockywoj]

Second drop by Pierce.  The dirty hit was after the fact.  

[esmort]

Pierce with the hands ... Glad Ballard loved our receiver room

[John Waylon]

Why did we need a timeout here?
