2022: Eagles at Colts Postgame Thoughts

[EastStreet]

 

Close game... 

1pt... vs 8-1 Eagles... 

[bsteves]

LT, RG, FG kicker. 

[legend300]

Offense is not good at all

[AwesomeAustin]

Offense still the problem

Can't pass block. No mid to long passing game. It's hard to watch.

[Catloaf]

Colts pulled a classic Colts - offensive line penalties every drive that matters, sack on all 3rd downs that matter, blow leads in 4th quarter, etc.

 

I told my wife if we weren’t up by 3.5 touchdowns we’d lose.  When it was 4th quarter and we were only up by 13 I was 95% certain we would lose.

[Roosarioo]

Offence as a whole just stinking the place out again

[CR91]

You gotta feel bad for the defense. Holding one of the top offenses to three points for the majority of the game and the offense continues to be our biggest issue.

[DougDew]

• Different HC, same performance
• Jeff needs to hold Raimann and Fries "accountable"....bench them...for Pryor...oh wait!
• I guess its back to DKelly and Pinter.
• Can we get an outside run call!

[Turftoe]

Offense is the main reason for this loss but the defense collapsed when given the chance to save the game.

[Bravo]

Offense stinks!!!!

 

Had multiple opportunities to put the game away and couldn’t do it. Relying on the defense to do it all.

[CanuckColtsFan]

So disappointed, they needed the touchdown sitting there in the 4th. 1st and goal. Just go for broke 3 points won't win it. Show some gusto amd get it in

It's like a train on track

[IrsaysArmy]

Matt Ryan is a bottom 5 QB in the game. He atleast used to be accurate. He’s going to get hurt if he keeps playing 

[runthepost]

The offense is just really limited on suspect pass blocking, and a noodle arm qb that can’t open the field up for JT

No Frank and the Oline scheme I thought was the problem??

[Derakynn]

How do you completely evacuate the middle of the field? Doesn't even matter who the QB is. Matt Ryan would have ran through that hole.

 

Offense squandered every possible opportunity. Countless penalties destroying drives. Poor run blocking for a majority of the game.

[stitches]

Good loss. Keep going! 

[CardiacColts]

We desperately need a QB, LT, and RG… Hard to see anything changing until these positions are addressed. 

[Yoshinator]

Team is the same with Reich or Saturday on offense. Doesn't matter. Only difference is this time we started fast and fizzled out. Always a one-half team. Not even worth watching.

[Nesjan3]

- Defense has to be getting frustrated at this point, playing lights out all season and offense has scored more than 20 points only 2 times this season.

 

- Oline had one week of the "new coach boost" and they are back to being terrible. Rainmann especially got bullied also 3 penalties.

 

- Our kicking situation has been another Ballard fail since his tenure along with QB and LT. We have the recipe for disaster, no QB and a roster not good enough to make noise and not bad enough for a high pick. 

 

I know the Ballard supporters are going to say our roster is good and it is just missing a few pieces but im sick of the delayed gratification, I want a fresh start. 

 

Honestly props to the defense and Gus Bradley they are the only reason we are even getting close in these games.

[MarquisJ]

BigQ 20mil is just nasty also Suh and Linval off the couch played a lot of minutes and made huge plays. Offense is pathetic man it’s really sad to see. S/O to the defense this game was winnable they don’t deserve this man.

And at the end 4th and 21 dump off? Might as well toss it up give someone a chance right?

[Hark]

I thought it was a decent effort by the boys, but just not enough against a really good Eagles team.

[colts89]

This was likely the Colts last shot of being in contention for the playoffs at all. Sucks, but they get a chance to restart quickly next year with a very good D and a new offensive staff.

 

[IinD]

JT can't be fumbling the ball...

FG kicker is a must next year.

[Happy2BeHere]

Yea the offense like it has been all year long is the blame. Ryan is not the one to take us anywhere. Ehlinger might provide us an extra opportunity or two but with the still weak spots on the O line it just becomes futile. 

[John C.]

Tuff loss

[Yoshinator]

Anyway, it's time to tank. The Saturday underdog story is over. 

[Indyfan4life]

Missed field goal. 
All the 75-79 penalties killing drives. 
Pass blocking sucked. 
Run game died in the 2nd half. 
Missed face mask. 
JT fumble. 

Some of you can blame Ryan all you want, but when he had time to throw, he did. 
 

Offense got stagnant and conservative when the pass blocking and run game died. 
 

Sucks. It is what it is though.

defense  held  , offense fault that a fact.   had ball at mid 3 times pass that dum  run and run . no pass all 3 downs . when go on 30 yard matt does same old then get sack and lose yards and that cause a miss fg .

[CoachLite]

OK, we lost to a 9 - 1 team by one point. Yes, there are problems to overcome. I'm disappointed, but not too disappointed.

Yeah I  thought once Frank was gone , they would turn the corner. The Oline is a disaster. Its not the scheme, this Oline is lacking talent. The talent they do have has regessed big time.If they have a good Oline, man this team may have 2 losses. 

[DoubleE Colt]

I'm sure some people here will blame the defence for the Eagles final drive but really they put us in the position to close this game out multiple times, the final Eagles drive shouldn't have even mattered by then. Penalties and a limited QB did for us

 

[Thunderbolt]

Ditto

[strt182]

JT cost another game. Many to blame but MATT RYAN isn't one to blame. He played a good game. 

 

Penalties stooping the drives. Refs not calling facemasks. Franklin tackling a WR. Missed FG ( bound to happen kicking lots of 50 yarders).

 

I have never seen a whistle not blown for that long. 

[Mr.Debonair]

You cannot win at high rate in todays game with a non-mobile QB. The days of the Manning type sit in the pocket QB is out. Unless you have an amazing O-Line.

 

 

[Nancy]

Missed field goal.....lots of rookie penalties....refs missed a face mask that could of made a difference on that possession.

Uggggghhhhh!! Get those rookies to write on paper 1 million times....that shalt not commit penalties!!   Have to play better!  Missed tackles... etc.

 

[Indy87]

Matt Ryans arm looked like it was about to fall off.

[Happy2BeHere]

If Reich had coached I think we would have lost like 27–13, but who cares a loss is a loss 99-0 or 99-98

One of those guys didn’t come up with the sign a soon to retire vet QB policy. 
 

This team is dead in the water until they make the leap and draft them next QB. Why is Foles on the team? He’s

Bad teams find ways to lose these type games
