They got every borderline key call, it wasn't just 1 call like I said earlier. It was like 5 as a whole. I am one that thinks blaming the REFS is usually a cop out, but sorry folks - NOT TODAY! I wasn't born yesterday. - hey Eddie just confronted Victor Maintland  , great classic.

If this would have been a playoff game and we had a legit shot of winning something big, there would have been a shoe stuck in the middle of my TV!

I really don't understand the Ballard hate right now, frankly he had an amazing offseason. Steichen looks like the right choice. The addition of Matt Gay, Minshew look like great moves, shoot you can go back to the trade for Moss last year has aged very well. Then looking at the Draft Richardson has looked good (just needs to get healthy, but hey even Burrow tore his ACL his first year), Brents has played very well for a rookie, Downs is showing to be a playmaker, Mallory has made some big plays as a 5th rounder and the most amazing Jaylon Jones has quietly been pretty good starter considering he was a 7th round pick. Not saying he hasn't made some pretty bad mistakes but this team is trending in the right direction and change for the sake of change is not a good thing. I think we learned that when Irsay decided to move on from Caldwell and Polian for Grigson and Pagano.

It would be a boost to Bradley’s defense if Leonard returned to full form. He has been mostly a passenger on the defense since returning.  He seemed a little more involved today, but was washed out quite a bit at the point of attack.  

 

Leonard used to be always around the ball and created his share of turnovers.  Hopefully he starts to make a bigger impact or the colts are going to have to make a decision on him, and the contract he is carrying.

Couldnt you say that to the other side of my discussion also?  It might be best you don't post on here since you don't seem to understand a message board.  I come here for a good debate or discussion. That's what I'm having.  Just sharing my opinion.  Thank you to the people who responded with intelligence, I love a good back and forth.

I think the issue is that people have disagreed with you and you can’t let it go.  And I do understand a message board.  I stated my opinion, you disagreed and said it was best I don’t post on here.  Some would call that ironic.

As loyal Colts fans it is natural to get down and a little negative after a loss, but personally I feel much different this year after a loss than last year. There is reason for optimism.
Although hurt, Richardson’s learning curve appears to be much shorter than anyone anticipated. The Moss trade is turning out to be an absolute steal. Downs and Brent are already in position to heavily contribute. Today we had late round draft picks lined up against an all pro DE and a #1 WR - A very tall order. 
‘last year I cannot count the number of games we entered the fourth quarter with large defecits.

 

This is a much different feel this year- for me anyway.

 

If more fans saw it this way, they would be feeling better. I agree with you. It is great to see young guys contributing so early in their careers. It is a sign of the future.

 

That does not take away the feeling that this loss was stolen from them. But there are lots of positives to keep Colts fans optimistic.

Quote

Shane Steichen is the right coach to lead the Colts. Sure, Indianapolis lost in heartbreaking fashion, but the fact that the Colts were able to find consistent success against the NFL's top defense should stand as an achievement for Steichen. He devised a fantastic game plan that focused on Cleveland's defensive tendencies and weaknesses, running a ton of traffic through the Browns' vaunted man coverage and reaping the benefits. Steichen kept Cleveland on its heels with his rushing attack, dialing up direct snaps to running backs and leaning on read options in scoring situations, and they paid off. It didn't produce a win for the Colts, but under Steichen's direction, Minshew was able to bounce back from last week’s disaster and nearly led the Colts to a win. That deserves praise.

Amari Cooper was so quiet today. I was expecting him to crush me in fantasy but it never happened. 

[Painterman]

  It's my opinion that the late 30 yard pass was an absolute dime released just in the nick of time. The other teams players are professionals payed to make plays as well.

Where’s MooseJawColt??? He predicted we would lose the next 4?

I think what he is referring to is, there were a couple of calls earlier in the game where the Ref called a penalty, then they all gathered and said no penalty will be called. I know the Browns got flagged for an illegal man downfield late in the game, but then the flag was picked up after the REFS got together and discussed it and they said no penalty. That should have happened at the end of the game on our legit strip sack and bogus PI.

Check the refs for large bank account deposits after the game today. Back to back terrible calls.

That's where he moved the goal post to.

I think it’s because people have cast judgement on Ballard and are now interested in being right.  We see that all the time here. The most recent examples are Pittman and Taylor’s contract.

Freeland has struggled in pass pro but he had been a elite run blocker. I hope smith is back next week.

 

Do saints have any edge defenders we should be worried about? I know they have Jordan. Anyone else.

I also hope people start appreciating how good of a tackle Smith is and stop calling for him to be moved to guard just because that’s what he played on college.

Illegal contact is not reviewable. Think everyone knows that.(except these refs apparently)

 

 

I did just watch it back and the ref did start to go to the sidelines to look at it, then stopped and announced it stood.

 

 

My guess, is that the league told him in his ear that the play wasn't reviewable.?

That’s what I’m wondering

Trust me, as a person that has played football before… it’s harder said then done to hold onto the ball when you don’t see and 6ft+ 285 lb man coming full speed blindside tackle you. To just say you have to hold onto the ball is showing us you clearly don’t know football and what it’s like to be hit. 

Sure, experience helps to understand. But not many QBs have eight turnovers the past two weeks (not all fumbles, I know.) Colts are 3-0 when winning the turnover battle. Minshew is cool and most of us dig him but he is killing us with turnovers. 

[RollerColt]

Pretty much the entire nation is on our side with the late calls. 49ers fans are especially livid for us right now. 

[TrueBlue4ever]

Did anyone see a tight end today?

[Happy2BeHere]

Just watched the game myself…Minshew was as good as he was bad…completely sucked turning the ball over especially in the end zone that resulted in the browns getting a TD..but I’m a bit peeved with SS for calling the play he did. We needed to run it out of there. Also, SS went run heavy when on the series we were up by a few points and we got stuffed…should have mixed it up a bit there. Still a great game…shame we lost in the fashion we did.

I saw Jack Doyle back the anvil and Olgetree get blown past on the goal line sack.

Does not seem like they have anyone to really fear (like Garrett or Josh Allen)...

DE Carl Granderson leads the team with 4.5 sacks.

Heard they lost and felt lousy.  Just watched the game and feel pretty good. This team is way better than I thought they would be and fun to watch.

Might be best for you to write a letter to the organization, share your credentials, and let them know your thoughts.  Best of luck with that. 

 

No, sending a letter is not necessary. The forum is here for folks to exchange thoughts, ideas and opinions. Not everyone will agree with each other. That is okay.

Everyone can post here as long as they do so in a civil manner.

I also was not a fan of the wildcat so much…did not seem to really benefit us in anyway. Much better snapping to the QB with our RB’s taking handoffs.

Honestly there is a lot to take away that’s good from this game. We overcame a lot of obstacles, which is why I’m frustrated at how it ended.

That’s good news. Taking a step back colts have had to face some elite pass rushers the last few weeks.  Should get easier if smith comes back too.

Right, but maybe they will blitz us. I know they say the Saints have a really good defense.

At this point Dayo is starting to look better then Paye when it comes to rushing the passer.

Except when he whiffs the QB.  He's done it multiple games.

No because they almost never overturned them. It was a good idea but still relied on these officials to be humble.

I’d only like it if you took out of the hands of the officials on the field.  I like that college has separate officials apart of all crews that handles all reviews and takes it out of the hands of the guys on the field.

After watching Colts vs Browns ending one can only ask this question?

 

Tell me the NFL isn't rigged?
