Season Opener: Jaguars @ Colts, Sunday, September 10, 2023, 1:00 PM ET

[Happy2BeHere]

As much as I don’t want to admit it…this game probably goes our way if he had Taylor on the field. But despite that I think there is good upside to the team and with AR. Just want Steichen to make better decisions on 4th downs.

31 points? Tremendous? 14 in the fourth quarter? 

What do you expect when they’ve been on the field a lot and get gassed? Jesus Christ some people don’t need to watch football without basic freaking understanding.

I’m out of alcohol. Wife’s car needs new brakes put on, so she took my car to work today. Not gonna pay the outrageous price to have anything delivered. I’m just done today. 

No alcohol. Damn brother okay that’s a very bad day then. 

[CoachLite]

Yeah, we lost. But that was still a  better game than I've seen the Colts play in a long, long time.

Didn’t quit on Manning. The excuse you guys keep making are unreal. This team and the players that have been here for years have no excuses. Slow start after slow start. It’s getting old 

slow start?!  This team was PREPARED.  We went toe to toe with a playoff team with a rookie HC and QB.  

[Aces101]

AR5 is fine!! Lack of run blocking by the OL, lack of contributions by Pierce, and poor punting cost the Colts this game.

Reich just got his * handed to him by Atlanta. 

 

Hey, Vikings lost to Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucs in Minnesota. At least 3 turnovers by Kirk, yet his stats look good, something like 33 for 44  for 350 or so yards, 2 TD, 1 INT (plus 2 fumbles). His stats look good but he had those turnovers at least twice when the Vikes were  in the Red Zone. 

 

We play the Eagles on Thursday, I think.

How much are you going to pay him?  He wants about 16mil.  AND you don't know if the ankle is healed.  You gonna' pay him??

You get what you pay for.  Difference makers get paid all the time.

It could work out well for Taylor honestly. Today could be the start of Ballard saying screw it and paying him. Of course by that point we could be 0-4…

He's a decent WR2. It's something.

I’m not so sure he’s even that. He was a ghost all but one series. Which has been his career story.

33 to 26 TOP. Calm down.

It’s almost as if there’s parity in football… oh wait… 

[IinD]

AR was legit hurt or just kept out at the end? I was wondering why he didn't go back in..

 

Oh well fun game.

Yeah but in the fourth they had 4 series in under 5 minutes of real clock time. That wears ya down

It’s a rookie HC and QB, Wth do people expect. You all would have quit on Peyton Manning day one . Geez

who is mad at shane or AR   ?      i am mad at ballard for having 7 years to build a roster and the wrs and line are not good .   a rookie QB needs help cant let him get hit so much and have wrs that cannot separate  its a lose lose for AR

if you stay down long enough, by rule you have to go out for at least one snap

It’s lack of running by the backs.  They are not talented enough to be starters.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bengals got trounced I guess Burrow stinks - I actually put $50 on the Browns and took the points

Read the posts in here, most are pointing fingers at AR for this, while ignoring how well he did play.

For a total of 5 plays. They need to do better.

[Dingus McGirt]

Stop carping and whining.  You all know darned well - the game went better than nearly everyone expected.  The Jags have a thug headhunter who knocked TWO key players out on illegal hits, and the Colts have a rookie QB and head coach…all while an All-Pro running back sits out and pouts.

 

The future looks pretty decent.

He refused to go into the tent is why.

Slow start, going for it on 4th down, and only scoring 14 points on offense. But you keep talking yourself into something that’s not there

I agree. I would be feeling so optimistic. The only thing that would worry me is the injury. It is too bad that they did not get the win but they played well.

Moss is back next week which will help some, our young dbs help their own for the most part (Some mistakes as expcted but nothing embarrasing)

What does that mean that he "refused" to go into the tent? I doubt he would be insubordinate and refuse to do what he is supposed to do.

Just what they said on radio.

Serious question. Unless he is believed to have a concussion, why would he need to go in the tent. It is not necessary to go into the tent to miss a play after injury. Maybe I am missing something.

Because per league rules, if you take a helmet hit and go down on the field, you’re to be evaluated for a concussion.

He took a shot to the head.  Ultimately that's what made him stay down.  I'm sure the NFL official in the booth said he had to get checked out.  I guess he didn't want to get checked out.  All speculation by me, but that would fit the end result.

Which is fine with me. As long as we show the potential I saw today, I don’t care if we win a single game this year. We need high caliper weapons to support AR and I think a WR in the form of high first will do that
