The problem is the INTs.  Fix that and we have this game.

It's just dumb if JT isn't hurt.

Doesn’t matter how good your roster is if you don’t have a QB. This front office has neglected this position and tried band aids of bad or even QB’s with nothing left in the tank. Matt Ryan was a reason the Falcons were bad.

The QB play or the Punter

[Dobbinblitz]

Our offensive Guru head coach cannot get his offense to start a game , start a season, and continues to abandon what works.  This is now half a decade of finding new scapegoats and then reloading and producing the same results. Here’s hoping for yet another 2nd half comeback.

Sam E fan will watch how good Sam E is after halftime.

I think Ryan hurt his R-shoulder after Simmons fell on it. He was rubbing it as he was walking off the field. 

I noticed that. Sam time...oh oh

Get Reich out of Indianapolis 

 

Hopefully getting thrashed by the division does him in

Frank is not on the field. He has called a decent game so far.

He ran off the field at halftime. I think our coaches are brain dead.

[CoachLite]

Frank Reich has all the enthusiasm of Jim Caldwell - a deer in the headlights.

 

[rjbalchusa]

The NFL must be in really sad shape if Ballard is one of the "top" GMs, Reich is worthy of being a head coach, and Ryan is worthy of being a starting QB. Many, many changes are needed to this Colts team, starting with Ballard and Reich! How are they ever to know what they have in Sam Ellenger if they never play him in an actual game? Particularly when your "starter" can't get out of his own way and apparently has trouble distinguishing between his teammates and his opponents when it comes to throwing passes.

You have to pass to open the run game. Your not going to win running it 30 times.

Stop with those negative waves!

[BProland85]

Refs in the Titans back pocket it seems today. Face mask on Henry was a whiff by Colts player. Didn’t even connect on grabbing the face mask. Even the commentators said it lol. 

Pick 6 play should have never happened due to missed face mask on Hines.

[jonjon]

lol - the rants and scapegoating are in full swing

[Taylor5free]

Both face mask calls were nonsense! Doesn’t excuse the fact this offense looks scared. This is a must win and a must score first possession after half or Henry will feast.

i wanna see sam even if its a couple plays .  the kids is magic and will pump the colts up .   we need a winner right now and sam is that guy

[NFLfan]

What's the score?

 

I'm watching the Giants at the Jags. Jags up 11-10 with 40 seconds left in the half. Giants are in the red zone.

[DougDew]

Mariota again looking pretty good for ATL.

getting tired of the same old same old.

This may be as good as it gets for the Colts.

- The inability to handle/make teams pay for blitzing continues to be the Achilles heel.  Neither JT or Hines acquitted themselves well in the 1st half in terms of blocking the free rusher.  At least 3 drives just blown up because of this in the 1st half. 

 

- Bringing Matt Ryan in here was mistake.  Starting to wonder if he is "seeing ghosts" (to borrow a line from movie Any Given Sunday and Sam Darnold) back there when he is dropping back and as a result he is worrying about getting rid of the ball instead of sitting back and reading the defense.  You can tell that he is not comfortable sitting in the pocket and with his age and skillset, that is a major problem that is going hinder him and the passing offense from doing anything.  

 

- Why are we refusing to attack down the field? I get it if its a 3rd and long because defenses pass rush continue to have their way with us, but why not try to take some shots on 1st down.  This is completely on Frank Reich.  He has been around the NFL long enough to understand that you are not beating anyone with YPA of 5.2 in today's league. 

 

- Can't really complain about the defense in the first half.  Allowing 6 points in a half is excellent and they have given the offense plenty of opportunities to stay in it.  My worry is them getting worn down at the end because of lack of support on the other side of the ball.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Our coaches - lets not play Leonard and let JT sit eventhough it is the biggest game of the year. Leonard was cleared by doctors to play by the way.

If the refs call the facemask on Taylor then not int and this game is very different 

It was Hines, he goes down easily, that’s a big part of selling the face mask call. That worked against him, IMO. He should only be slot WR moving forward. Henry doesn’t go down easily and that helped sell the call when you are not in slow motion.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s kind of ironic that Irsay forced the QB change and Ryan might cost Reich and Ballard their jobs.

Yeah it’s sad you show up every week only for your offense to keep putting you back on the field. 

[coltsfan_canada]

who will be next QB next year? Will it still be Ryan?

[Dobbinblitz]

No worries Frank says he “Will look at the film”

Me too.  Not necessarily because I thought he was better, but he was less expensive and less of a commitment.  Turns out he's pretty good.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ryan can’t even beat all the pressure. When they are blitzing that much you throw screens. Ryan looks like a rookie.

Defense is doing its job even without Leonard. JT being out - head scratcher. Ryan needs to look in. Plenty of time left. We got this.
