That was the case early on last season too when we were 3-3-1 when the offense was somewhat respectable and then the wheels came off. We should give another RB a chance.

that 3-3-1 is the ugliest 3-3-1 i've ever watched

[Solid84]

Just a good play by the defender.

[smittywerb]

Where is AP and MPJ?

Not really.  He’s a difference maker.

The OL sucks right now. JT looked like trash behind the same crappy OL last year

Story of the game so far is OL generating very little push in the run game and it showed up even worse on that 4th & 1 conversion. Eagles can do it because their OL can generate that push. It is going to be a long season if this kind of push continues with a run oriented offense.

I have been hard on the Olne, but remember this. This Olne has been under a lot of pressure in the Reich years due to qb play. Its, the same story today. Teams r playing the run and will until Richardson can beat them with his arm. When that happens, lanes will open up big time.

[Chrisaaron1023]

AR actually looks like a cheat code..

[csmopar]

Come on Pierce, 

[Solid84]

Well, there's Pierce.

[csmopar]

Wow another 4th attempt?!

[NFLfan]

I wish Red Zone would show more of the Vikings and more of the Colts game. They keep showing 49ers at Pitt.

 

Stroud is not playing so well. Young is playing better, just threw a TD. AR looks best I think.

 

 

[MTC]

Blah. That stunk.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I don’t understand going for it there. Not when your in a tie game.

I would have pinned them deep. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Seems frank reich to me…. Too many 4th down attempts and not taking points.

[AKB]

I really hope Pierce figures it out. I really do. 

[colts89]

That was a very stupid choice by Steichen

[IndySouthsider]

Well guess we won’t be punting this year 

[NewColtsFan]

Did the Colts just go for it on 4th down?

 

I didn’t see that one coming.

 

Punt and pin them deep.  

[richard pallo]

Another coaches mistake.  Pin them back.  We can win this game.  Coach is hurting us.

The line looks good so far.  Jax have a good DL and they aren’t dominating 

[Lancer1]

I hated it with Frank, but I've got to admit thatvI like the aggressiveness that Shane is showing.

[smittywerb]

Ok Shane, we have the highest paid kicker in the league with a strong leg.  At this point, take the points.  
 

Either that or punt the ball.  This isn’t Philly, we don’t have the talent. Lol

[JMichael557]

That was a bad coaching decision 

[2006Coltsbestever]

He pulled a Reich, I love our defense so far. The problem I am seeing right now is that our WR's are not getting open.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Way to suck the energy out of the stadium!

He is. 

[chad72]

Yeah, now pass protection is breaking down and lanes aren't opening up to throw mainly because they can crowd the line of scrimmage and no outside WR routes called or Jags made to pay. Remember, one of Matt Ryan's best games came with a lot of outside WRs catching the ball at home vs the Jags. Yeah, Steichen's trust in AR, right now, is a little bit blind at this point for a 4th down close to mid field, IMO. It is only heroic on paper.

That would of been a 60yds FG.

we look good passing wise. it's the running game where we aren't really winning. we are either getting little push, no push, or they are pushing us in the run game. all runs of gain have been edge runs (raimann, smith, TEs,) our interior is still struggling somewhat

The 3rd down spot was atrocious 

rookie coach should have challenged the spot

Yeah I would have punted as well, Trevor is struggling and our D is playing lights out.

Do you know Pierce averaged about 14.5 yards a catch last year?    As a rookie?  
 

He had a very good rookie season and some here have no idea.

outside of downs and Granson, MPJ and AP are MISSING!  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If your going to go for it on 4th there just have a designed run for Richardson.

[JlynRN]

Not sure I like going for it on 4th down. That's twice now that we could have either taken the points or punt it and pin them deep.

Yeah, i watched every game. It's the drops and mistakes that people are concerned about

 

specifically this preseason, and so far this game

Take a time out and give your coaches a chance to look at it.

We need to at least use some designed rollouts to get him out of that clogged middle of the field.

[BlackTiger]

I would have gone for it on 4th down there.  Not a big fan of punting if you have to try and hold back so it doesnt go in the end zone
