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

[IndyD4U]

So refreshing to watch this team play. AR or not

[richard pallo]

Fries with the block to spring him.

[a06cc]

Can’t let up off that gas pedal 

[AKB]

nice

[JlynRN]

Woohooo TD Moss !! 

[AKB]

love the up tempo there

[IndySouthsider]

I do like having a competent backup

[coltsfan_canada]

MOSS TD!!! 

Jackson take a notes plz 

[coming on strong]

if richardson has a concussion nfl wont let him play next week .  

[Lancer1]

Moss for the touchdown, 2 score lead again!

 

Even if AR is cleared to return, I'd hold him out and not risk him really getting a bad concussion that holds him out for a couple games.

[colts89]

It's so nice having Minshew back there.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

He probably won’t play against ravens if it is indeed a concussion.

[Happy2BeHere]

Explain it again…with those nuggies!  

[JlynRN]

That was a nice drive. Good to see Moss getting the yards.

Is this a rule or?

Why. Ogletree was cleared in a week.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I love The Mustache Man - this is why it is important to have 2 good QB's. Minshew is a good backup!

[coltsfan_canada]

@Moosejawcolt you think the best player on PUP is still laughing watching MOSS???

[richard pallo]

If it’s a concussion it’s probably a mild one.  He should clear this week.

Fries has had a few great blocks in the run game so far. At the very least, he was the block that sprung the runner on 2 of the 3 TDs.

That's not how it works. Hed go through the protocol. Its possible he misses next game, but that's completely dependant on the protocol. 

[BProland85]

Not able to watch the game live unfortunately but it sounds like Richardson is still taking unnecessary hits again? Steichen has to be teaching him how to protect himself. 

[a06cc]

Still plenty of football left and you know us with a lead

Probably the best backup or close to in the league.

A protocol. Let's see what happens today for one.

I was very surprised he didn't get more interest.

Problem is IMO this season is about AR getting reps and experience.  

 

Winning IMO isn't that important other than as an indication of AR's improvement.

True, but part of that experience is for AR learning how to protect himself, especially his head while going to the ground. If his failure to do so costs him the rest of this game, it could be a valuable learning experience and we need to win some games to keep our confidence up.

say what you want.  JT can make more moves than moss and that other guy.  He’s faster, bigger, stronger, smarter.  We can do more with JT.  JT can MAKE more happen.    

 

  Whaaaaa!  Who cares. TD was very well blocked with Q and Fries sealing a walk in TD.

 

[a06cc]

See the D is giving up

Was a dirty late hit, while he was already in the end zone.

[richard pallo]

You have to pressure Stroud.  Why are we letting him sit back there?

[IndyEric07]

Still 0 penalties on the Texicans

Let up on the end of a touchdown run.  Defensive player came beaming at him and hit him high.  Honestly should’ve been a H2H, but AR could’ve done a better job of running through the play.  Probably would’ve took the hit a lot better.

[bluebombers87]

Of course it was against us

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

These penalties all seem to be going one way.

Local laundry service.

[AKB]

man we are losing penalties bad

[richard pallo]

We need a turnover.

[a06cc]

We think teams are going to give up when we have a lead. It’s sickening 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Defense needs to step up and not go into some prevent mode.

That’s not true. It depends. Plenty of players have played the next week
