2023 Week#5, Titans @ Colts, Sunday, October 8th, 1:00 PM EDT

[ColtsPens2011]

Why are we so afraid to kick a freaking field goal????

[SwedishColt]

I am worried that decision is going to come to back to bite us at the end of the game. I really hope Im wrong but I have a bad gut feeling about that. 

 

Titans are struggling to get TDs. Take all the points u can get and extend the lead..

[IrsaysArmy]

So basically Richardson is a liability. What’s this, his 3rd or 4th game ending injury? Gotta stay healthy bud.

Ridiculous.

nope. we've run well on them all game

[SR711]

Richardson injury is 100% on Steichen and his ridiculous insistence on having his QB play as a running back….

 

the warning signs were there the 1st 4 games..

history (look like guys like Cam, RGIII and even Lamar) show that long term  running your QB as an RB does not lead to any good in terms of long term health for the QB and yet here we are still calling QB draws even with two backs like Taylor and Moss who can carry the load.

Sorry, this is 100% on the organization and is unacceptable considering they clearly did not learn anything from what happened with Luck.

Broken arm, dislocated should, broken color bone. He is done for awhile.

throwing shoulder not many can ever play again if it is destroyed

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If colts had the ball to start second half then I would of been ok go for it. But they don’t. Going to be hard to get excited with this Richardson injury. Most likely done for awhile.

[IndySouthsider]

He has hurt that should before.

Noo

 

Your go up 7 there. Tere is no other option

 

If you had a timeout, you would go.  Titans get the ball to start second half - take the points.  

 

Steichen's a rookie, too.  He needs to improve as well.

No time to run.  Take the points.  

[JColts72]

Just saw it; every time he runs going to get hurt.

[rockywoj]

Hope not, but I fear those 3 points sacrificed might be the difference in the game.  These decisions to forego important points, early in games especially, drive me crazy!

How about Anthony just run out of bounds on that one. Wasn't much to be had on that play.

AR has to learn to fall or he might just be better off taking the hit.

 

Lucas Oil Stadium turf is not friendly for falls

I think that's the biggest thing. It's not that he needs to necessarily learn to get down more often and avoid big hits. He just needs to learn how to fall. All of his injuries have been because he fell really hard on various body parts.

If we lose, we will lose by double digits, IMO

It could "just" be dislocated though, right?

 

I have dislocated my shoulder many  times. It is one of the most painful injuries.

 

I just saw it. It looks like a shoulder injury. That is how I have been when I dislocated my shoulder. It may require surgery. I chose not to have surgery but I am not an athlete.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The only thing about this is if AR misses significant time and we lose get a higher draft pick to go with him.

It was an easy pick up. Only objection I'd have is if we had no timeouts. Then you kick the field goal instead of going for it

Yeah, I've had my shoulder pop out, but it immediately popped back in by itself. Still hurt like a MF'er and was sore for a month.

That’s why you don’t do it.

If his shoulder is destroyed and they get a high draft pick, they might go QB again.

We were out of timeouts, throwing was the right call. I couldn’t believe he missed the execution as an experienced vet

The thing is, that our backup is good enough to keep us in most games. And we have an easy schedule, too. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Texans are now ahead of falcons. 9-7

[ShuteAt168]

That first half ending and AR shoulder — I have a stomach ache.

Hes going to be ruled out, we will be lucky if he is back this season 

It's way too early in the season to already be looking forward to September 😭

He will be fine. Maybe not this season but fine.

[Fluke_33]

I bet ar comes back and finishes the half. In pain.

If he's done for the year, do you promise not to post anymore about it? 

So how does signing Taylor to extension now look if Richardson is done?

We need to not have designed run plays for Richardson.  Have him run as a last resort, otherwise he’s not going to survive one season.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Panthers getting smashed but at least their QB isn’t hurt.

Smart.  Because we now have our playmaker to help Minchew.

Right. He just needs to learn to slide.

 

Instead hes initiating contact with the defense
