2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET

This game is far from over.  We should be getting after Stroud more.  

[2006Coltsbestever]

They responded but 1 thing that was really noticeable is, Stroud can't run. He is 1 dimensional.

[Solid84]

Let’s go offense!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This next drive will be big for colts offense.

Right just a QB rating of 124 on that drive

Nice throw by Stroud.  Defensive backs showed their *** on that drive.

I mean if the surgeon was drunkenly lurching around with a shotgun, sure.

Could change the momentum.

[Moosejawcolt]

I guess the defence was gassed as the offence did nothing. Oh wait, we were up 14, and it was only the 2nd quarter. I am not a Bradley fan. This D is just too basic.

We need at least 3.

[Solid84]

Think the Dline got a little winded near the end there after that quick TD from the turnover.

The inexperienced secondary looked... inexperienced. 

As long as we get pressure, we’ll be fine.  But when we don’t.  We’re going to look bad lol

[w87r]

That pass wasn't even to Nico, was to the WR behind him. Nico just made a great play.

I mean they’ve been playing for a whole five minutes! They’re exhausted!

I will settle for nothing less than pictures of Spiderman.

[JlynRN]

Well the defense didn't do their job that drive. Offense needs to step up and go on another long scoring drive.

Blitz him and he will go backwards.

A good example of some of the fallacies of QBR. A few good throws, but we also layed him a platter.

[Lancer1]

That was Shroud's 1st career TD pass, and hopefully his last one on the day!

[smittywerb]

We really need juju Brents out there.  Our front 7 is stout.  But that’s it.  Those defensive backs are Swiss cheese.

You always regret your first, so let's hope he regrets this game.

Oh brother!! Its the quarter. This Dline is predicated on speed and   if they are gassed already, then they are jn big trouble. It's the defence. It's basic and if u don't get pressure u are in trouble.

[SteelCityColt]

That was an amazing play by AR.. poise in pocket, and a sensible decision.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Moss is running a little better then Jackson.

[bluebombers87]

Hits you in the hands you gotta catch that.

[a06cc]

Need a run game 

[richard pallo]

Three and out.  Momentum changed l

[Solid84]

Granson should’ve had that.

Left handed, no less, lol.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Got to catch that.

[SteelCityColt]

And that was the bad of AR.. a bit too hot on that throw, but still catchable.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We needed to let defense rest a little more. Hopefully they step up.

[MTC]

Our running game is going to struggle all year without JT. Hard to watch.

We don't want a repeat of last season for sure.

[smittywerb]

Ballard, if you don’t spend money to go get this QB some weapons I will personally call for your head.

 

Granson has to catch that.

Honestly, this is a lame excuse. The defense knows the offense is going to be dodgy. They need to condition themselves better. No other teams with struggling offenses have issues like we do on defense.

[richard pallo]

Sign JT.

[JlynRN]

Granson should have caught that. Gotta do better.

[a06cc]

Catching has been an issue for the TE and WR’s

A dependable TE would be gold for AR. I know he wasn't a tree puller but Doyle would have been a big plus.
