Colts vs Titans postgame thread

[AwesomeAustin]

Was waiting on one to comment but went ahead and started one. I very much enjoyed this game. It’s been awhile since I can say that. Entertaining from start to finish!

[Indyfan4life]

Houston just lost, so we're tied for 1st still.

 

Please be okay AR.

[newjagscity]

Great win for you guys. Dominated time of possession in the 4th, and the D sealed it.  Its always good when the Titans are in last place.  See you in Duval this Sunday.

JT looked amazing after he got his new contract and changed his number! Fantastic! 

[Chucklez]

the only continued sour taste is AR getting hurt.... again

[Bravo]

Let’s go! Huge win for the Colts!

 

Let’s hope AR only misses at most a couple games to heal up. This team has played well so far.

I heard the X-rays were negative for structure damage. Hopefully it's just a sprain

[Solon]

Anthony Richardson's injury prone. No sliding or running out of bounds will help.  Hopefully everything works out because he's electric to watch. He oozes superstar potential. 

[ShuteAt168]

Man, what a gritty win. Proud of the Colts today.

He's starting to run a little like Taylor, too.

Yep... on a serious note. This was a great team win and every group contributed. OL was impressive! I don't know when was the last time we've donimated like this... must be when Luck was still playing. 

 

I really hope AR's injury is not too serious. Some twitter docs saying he's probably gotten away with AC joint sprain, which is not great but not horrible either... fingers crossed. 

[John Waylon]

Another AR injury. 
 

[SLILLINGTON10]

Big AR fan here but I am questioning if it's just been terrible luck on just a handful of hits that didn't really look all that bad or is he just made of glass? 

[teganslaw]

Minshew magic is real! What about Zack Moss and the Colts defense? Over all a good game with the exception of Richardson's injury. Hopefully it's not serious.

[MarquisJ]

Couldn’t have said it better.. Also great win!

Yeah, I mean you don’t want your QB taking hits but you can’t get knocked out of a game every time you take contact. It’s concerning because, as you say, he is quickly looking like the real deal.

I’m going to say it’s bad luck. If Richardson had been tackled any other way, I think he would have been okay. 

[RollerColt]

Never apologize for a win, GO COLTS!

 

Get better Anthony!!!!

With Minshew, you're basically playing the same game you've been trying to play for the past 5 years, but with a better QB and two high end RBs.

 

I suppose I would take Minshew over Brissett, Wentz and old versions of Rivers and Ryan.

Maybe not over Rivers, but close.  
 

Hopefully the Jags will have to gameplan for two QBs next week.

I agree with you apart from Rivers. He did well with this team, far better than other mentioned gents.

[colts89]

- This is going to be an insane running committee, especially once Taylor gets back into form.

 

- AR needs to learn how to slide and how to not fall so awkwardly. Those weren't huge hits he took to get injured. And they were all avoidable. I really hope he can figure out how to protect himself more.

 

- Minshew is a great game manager and he doesn't turn the ball over. We can string a few victories with him if the run game is going to be that dominate.

 

- The OL played spectacularly. Freeland looked good out there, which is great to see from your backup swing tackle.

 

- The D played decently. The only bad pattern I've noticed is that the LBs and secondary is exploitable if the DL isn't getting a consistent pass rush at all times.

Good

• Moss played like he wanted the starting job! What a game from him! 6 yards short of 200 yards from scrimmage on 24 combined touches.
• Minshew such a great back up. I hope we can keep him!
• I still love what AR does on the field. He's electric! But...
• Downs! He had a great day - 6 of 6 for 97 yards! That's 16.4 YPC!
• I would still like for our TEs to get more targets. 6 combined targets is just not enough in my opinion.
• Kelly back made a HUGE difference for the Oline - both for protection and run blocking.
• Franklin with that stop on Henry in the red zone!

 

Bad

• ... AR NEEDS to stay healthy. It so disheartening everytime he goes down.
• The secondary got carved up when the Titans had the time and didn't need to make big plays.
• I still think our LBs are bad in coverage.

[KB]

Listening to the game today I heard something pretty consistently, which is Fries making a big play on the line. Glad to hear it.

Agreed, but they need the TEs for protection, especially with the Rainman out.

Fries is making me eat my words. I wanted us to get someone else at his spot and didn't believe he can play at high level, but he's been one of our best OLinemen. Good for him! Great development. 

 

I felt Freeland played a solid game too... 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Kind of a boring game after Richardson went out. But Minshew held it down. Have to get touchdowns and not field goals. Texans lost so next week is for first place.

 

Downs is our new Hilton. He is found to be great on deep balls. Almost 100 yards this game. 
 

Moss was fun to watch today.

 

Not even going to get into Richardson. So tired of being QB jinxed. It is what it is I guess. Just go down and stop taking bad hits.

Same. But Rivers was solid for the most part.

Yeah, Phil was fine, but he did donate a few - threw a few games away - something Minshew hasn't done yet.  

 

But yeah, it's pretty close.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We locked down the end zone bur we can’t be giving up all those yards like that.

[SwedishColt]

First win against the Titans in 3 years and first win at Lucas Oil in pretty much a year. Feels good to break a lot of those negative streaks. 

 

We stay on top of the division (tied) for the third straight week. 

 

Another huuuuge game next week against Jaxx. If we can keep the momentum there we might go on a run *dreaming*

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That play call Richardson got hurt  on should be thrown away.

[Dark Superman]

Zack Moss running the ball like a boss mixed with great defense is a recipe for success!

Jags are going to have a long flight home so that might help a little

shocking Freeland looked solid. The Oline did a good job run blocking so we didn’t have to throw so it all worked out.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Taylor had a couple nice runs too. That was nice to see. Moss having this year when the RB market is flooded next year is kind of sad for him. Bills need a run game I have no clue why they couldn’t use him more.

[ShuteAt168]

OL were beasts. I don’t know how many times I saw one of our OL blast a Titan and move on and then hit someone else. 

[Jack86]

The Colts win!

 

Today is a good day!

 

Go Colts!
