He wasn’t.  They run between the tackles because they want to run behind Kelly and Nelson because they are their best run blockers.

I think it’s pretty hard to do with a loaded box.  I know they’re good at it but it results in short gains most of the time.

Yeah that’s why they have to find away for Minshew to throw teams out of that.

Vea against French in two weeks if Kelly isn’t healthy could be really bad. 
 

I wonder if Kelly is thinking of retirement. So many concussions this year and two new baby boys at home.

I would and I bet his wife will be pushing him.  I think he has one year left.  Maybe he plays a final year.

It was unbelievable wasn't it, even Rich Eisen was pro Patriots. The PA Announcer was too, man it was nauseating. 

Somebody posted in one of the pregame threads that most of the German fans were pats fans. Looks like they were right.

BTW I watched the game and they won so I guess I'm not the curse

5-5 is 5-5, no matter how we got here. Now we start from scratch and focus on 7 games. it is a 7 game season now.

4-5 probably gets at least one wildcard spot that damn Browns game…

O’Brien is no prize either.

- Minshew was way too skittish in the pocket today.  He is not Patrick Mahomes.  The more throws he makes where his feet are not set, lower body mechanics are off, the more chances there are for INTs, misfires, etc.  I know he did complete some throws this way including the big throw downfield to Downs after the Mac Jones INT, but I think he is going to be more effective if just plays within himself, focuses on his fundamentals when making throws not trying to make hero plays every time he drops back.    The INT he threw on the 1st drive of the 2nd half was a good example of this.   If he had just been decisive there, tucked the ball, ran and slide for a few yards, it is possible a 1st down or at the very least and very manageable 3rd and short.  

 

- Defense (especially pass rush) was outstanding today, but its the 5th week in a row now where the opponent has averaged over 4.5 yrds/attempt.  Pretty clear they miss Stewart in this area.  The team is fortunate to have faced two QBs the last two weeks who are probably two of the worst starters in league.  

 

- Overall, gotta give the team, Steichen and the players their credit for being .500 after 10 games.  I think a realistic ceiling for this year was to be competitive (and possible get) one of the lower Wild card spots and it looks like we are going to get that so personally, I can't get too upset with how this season has turned out from a results prespective.

Did Shaq tip this ball?

Possible, still don’t think the ball gets to the receiver either way.

 

The spiral still looks pretty intact. Either way, that was a good effort by Leonard.

 

Edit* Looks like the ball was already coming down in its trajectory. Of anything there was a graze that helped it go directly into Blackmon’s bread basket but still don’t think that ball was going near the receiver.

Definitely seems as though the ball changed trajectory. No other reason for the pass to be that short

Had to watch the NFL Network broadcast and it was so sickening to have to listen to pro pats announcing

In watched it there as well, but I was able to listen to the Colts play-by-play on my computer, that made it at least tolerable

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts could get back to second place today. Jags are getting pounced by SF. Texans bengals tied and titans did have the 3-0 lead.

Winning is the ultimate feeling. Before the season started if someone told me, would you take 5-5 before the season, I would have taken it but with AR healthy is the only downer. Still so far, love the way the guys compete every week. We don't stink and are pretty much in every game. For the most part, we have won the close games too with the exception of the Browns game which we got cheated in. The Ravens win sort of offsets that game I guess.

It's kind of hard to believe how bad the Patriots suck.

I agree but it sure feels justified.🍺

[CR91]

Ugly, but it's a win. Man this rivalry is not what it use to be.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lol

 

 

[rockywoj]

It was uuuugly, but regardless of that, any win over the evil empire is a good win.

 

I find myself concerned about so many unimaginative running plays that reminded me of the horror that was Frank Reich’s running play calling. I just don’t know why the Colts post Manning years seem so opposed to stretch running plays and getting the ball into their playmakers hands in space.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts should be 6-4🥲. If not 7-3.

Past couple of games it was good to see that Pierce is hanging on to contested catches. He does not seem to create much separation and may need to make a living with this type of reception.

Your are right but it warms my heart to see the pats at 2-8 and we contributed to the latter number

No highly drafted QB is a sure thing, most recently evidenced by Bryce Young.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Unlass this offense suddenly gets better colts won’t  be going to playoffs but at least we will be playing meaningful football in DEC.

Even on that big catch, it was kind of a cruddy route where he rounded his cut rather than being sudden in his cut or giving a bit of a fake the other way.  Good that he made the catch, but I am so far still disappointed in him.

If you look at the all 22 Pierce is open a ton. Minshew is just not throwing it to him.

Yesh we had a ten point lead over saints. Could even say we blew the first jags game. This team is close. Just need to get Anthony back and make a couple tweeks. Just watching Texans the right QB makes all the difference.

Just glad that I got to see our Colts win against the Pats! First colts game attended. First win 😁
