It's sad I have to drink to watch this team.

With so little time left, why has Indy take time outs?

They want to win.    They could get a turn over or a stop here.    

[coming on strong]

jeff must have the worst clock management ever .    30 seconds left on 4th down with 3 timeouts and doesnt use one to give his offense a chance to get a field goal

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was a  big stop.

I was also confused as to why we would help the Chargers out by basically calling timeouts for them. Bad clock management by Jeff.

[richard pallo]

Chargers are bad and they are supposed to have a quarterback .

So Foles could chuck it like Jeff George lol  

[ADnum1]

I'd be shocked if Sam is on the roster next season.

 

You'd be better off drafting Stetson Bennett

Woooooooo. We have Mr.Pancake.  When I watch this dumpster  fire of an organization.  I actually gain more respect for Frank.  

Why are you a fan again? This hasn’t even approached the dumpster fire it was pre Jim.

I think it makes more sense to make the Chargers use their timeouts. They may have run out of time (maybe not), if the Colts had not taken the TOs. JMO.

 

[holeymoley99]

Make sure we have the proper D and rested to force them into a fg instead of td, no issue with clock management  there and it worked.

Our D has generally been good to great against even the best QBs in the league this season. That being said, Herbert does look pretty mid. Doesn't look close to a young Phillip rivers at the very least.

Sam is horrible.  I would be shocked if he plays.

Absolutely correct.  

[chickenMan]

So why are we playing Foles again? I have a hard time believing that he gives us the best chance to win, he looks like a slightly more mobile Matt Ryan. 

[FuedinHatfield]

I think eventually Jeff would be a great coach. Very smart guy. I feel like if we don't land Harbaugh, Jim might roll with him.

I was very confused. If they had 2+ min left, with the 2 min warning, I would understand taking TOs, but there was less than a minute left. 

[FuedinHatfield]

Hopefully not.

 

Hopefully not.

Your sarcasm at the penalty can easily be implied as a disagreement with the call.  No doubt in my mind.

The best evidence one could come up with for the Colts potentially tanking atm is Sam not starting over Nick in the second half. I'm perfectlly fine with that, but I won't believe for a second that Sam wouldn't look better out there.

I disagree - Foles is a Superbowl MVP who is seeing his 1st game action as a Colt since the preseason, so I'd give him a little latitude since with his experience & postseason success,  he now represents our best chance to win.

You say the league will turn into flag football after one of our players gets decked and a guy ejected. 
 

Then you follow up with the league is protecting players too much. 
 

I think almost anyone would come to same conclusion as us. 

[FuedinHatfield]

If we're outside the 5 pick do you all think we trade up? I don't see how we couldnt.

We don’t have any talent at QB. Ryan with a stronger arm (Foles) is the best we can put on the field.

We weren't going to drive the other way regardless,make sure your D is catching their breath and has time to set up to prevent td and keep it a 1 score game. LAC could have hurried up and got us in mismatch and they had t.o. to burn as well. Smart coaching..it worked.

i dont take people serious when they don't take player health serious.. such a display of egocentric perspective.  i bet he'd feel different if his son  was ut there getting decapitated. 

[rockywoj]

3 points on offence. Just epically bad.  The offence is offensive.

Who cares. We aren’t going anywhere anyway. Some of you are too wrapped up in who is starting.

Football in itself is a risk. Football was way more fun to watch when defenders could play. We can point to health but for every Junior Seau there's hundreds of players who lived fine. The flags are getting excessive and are changing the game.

No I think we are set on Will Levis and he likely goes 4-7 so we are within his range no matter how it plays out. Stroud will never be a top QB,Richardson needs to sit a year and Young will be gone before we can get him.

The focus on concussions and player health in general is long over due.

he should be ejected for that one AND HE is

Just give Ryan a bionic arm and tell him the remainder of his contract will cost him an arm but not a leg

At this point of the season what else can we get up in arms about?

Football has never been satic. the game evolves.  player health is important, and i bet its really easy to avocate for people to take blind side hits when your body doesn't feel any of the impact.

He sucked with the Bears as well, but I digress. At this point it doesn't matter so I hope Foles continues doing what he's doing in the second half lmao.

[JColts72]

Loss baby lose. Jim pre guarantee Saturday Outstanding HC return.

[Dobbinblitz]

10 quarters remaining toward turning the page to planning the Colts QB of the future. Cannot come fast enough.

Players should take the initiative and stop the head-butting as a celebration.  Until they stop doing that it's all a joke in my opinion.
