The colts are going to lead at the half 28-10.   But one fan in this thread already announced that things weren’t going well and he probably wouldn’t watch the rest of the game.   The score was 21-10 Colts when he said that. 
 

Not kidding.    :facepalm:


 

most likely a frank apologist or someone who thought this team was Super Bowl bound.

Did he say it was not going well? I think it was from a perspective of wanting to see AR play - not about winning or losing. I can totally get behind that - to me it’s ARszn and if he misses time that’s a HUUUGE bummer.

I know it's Houston but this is the best half of football we have probably played in nearly 2 years. It is reassuring that we have 2 good QB's as well. Sam isn't near the QB that Minshew is.

Was that the game where he had bad food poisoning and ended up in the hospital literally right after the game ended? That guy was badass. I loved Matt. 

 

Yeah, he had an excellent game in Houston, now that I think about it.  That might have been the game.

 

Best game Pep ever called.

Yes….  He said the team wasn’t doing well.   He pointed to the defense.   He apparently thought the Colts were about to blow the lead.

Didn’t the Colts lead the Vikings last year about 30-3 at the half?

Quick notes from the first half:

 

offense:

- sucks to not see AR for the rest of the game.  But his concussion doesn’t look that bad.  
- refs are trash, curious to know how the calls are going right now

- downs, Mallory, Granson showing up as receiving. MPJ and Pierce have been quiet.  Really need them to step up because if the Texans adjust like the jags did, we probably won’t see downs and Granson having another solid half.

 

defense:

- front 7 looks good, defensive backs look bad…as expected. 
- need to get more pressure on stroud.  Last thing we need to do is to go prevent and make them game close.  Stay aggressive.

- linebackers need to get a little bit better with pass pro


 

side note:  yeah the hit on AR was dirty but AR has to protect himself.  Fields runs as much if not more than AR and takes less big hits. Shane has to get through him somehow or we’re looking at another Andrew luck. Just heard strahan reiterate what i said previously. Get through and finish.  Learn how to not take the big hits.

Who cares?

 

CBE was saying this is the best half of football the Colts have played in 2 years.  I was simply pointing out the Colts played an even better half last year vs. Minn.   

 

That’s all.  

Technically our half against the Vikings was better. I just didn't want to mention that game haha . This does feel different though.

The first half of the MIN game was not as good offensively as this one. The MIN game literally everything that could have gone in our favor did, it was fluky in so many ways... and that's why it wasn't sustainabe. This one looked more like a well-coached team executing ... for the most part.

    • Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.
    • Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly. 
    • This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.
    • I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….    
    • I believe he knows that offense is more important than defense.  And that an offense that controls the ball keeps our average defense rested.   I really can’t answer your second sentence until camp.  So let me ask you, as of right now isn’t Ballard saying there are no FA DBs (depth or starting safety) that we can afford who are better than what we have?   If he doesn’t bring someone is, that’s his stance, right?   The logic is that our O will put up enough that we can get by with an average D, IMHO.   Like I said, I’m being Mr. Obvious.
