Colts vs Patriots post game reaction

[krunk]

I was good with Minshew as long as he managed and didn't lose the game with multiple turnovers.  He played similar to the Baltimore game with similar results.  Get the Dub and head back to da Crib!!!

I would like to see Steichen put Sam in there for some plays just to throw some different wrinkled in there. Maybe it could help the run game a little.  Just a few plays to find the defense something else to be worried about.

Sam I think would have done similar to what he did last year against the Pats.  I was already somewhat expecting us to lose this one bc I thought Minshew was going to get out there and get overwhelmed by the Pats defense, but he did enough to pull it out. I don't think Sam is better than Minshew.

He sounded despondent when Gay made his field goal.

No thanks...we saw how that went last year

With how bad this team fell apart I don’t think it’s fair to look at what he did last year on a pathetic team. I think everyone should be a little intrigued now Steichen I’d the HC. He could throw some Richardson plays in there fore him.

This isn’t the same team.

Same player.  I don't think he's better than Minshew

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

One other thing I don’t think we can underestimate Downs limited snaps these last two games has hurt the offense. Hopefully he gets 100% by the Bucs game. He fits Minshew game  perfect.

I didn’t say bench Minshew. I said just give him some packages to throw some different wrinkles in there. The RPO game would be much better too and you do have to account for him running.

It would be like in '20 when Jacoby would come in to spell Rivers but every time he entered the game, you knew he was running it and not passing.

We went to the high school game Friday (Merrillville Valparaiso) night and that was a much more entertaining game. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

There is a good chance Brent’s will be back next game. The dline got banged up but they all finished. Downs will get 2 weeks of rest. We can come out against Bucs much healthier.

[John Waylon]

That was Thursday night ugly. Just like I knew it would be. But we won and I’m always glad to beat Belichick and the Pats. 
 

I think my big reaction coming away from this one is Belichick benching Jones the way he did when he did. 2 minutes to drive 80+ yards for a winning score and you throw the backup QB you’ve cut from your roster once this season already out there?

 

The only thing Bill could have done to disadvantage Zappe any more today was trip him on his way into the game and then * on him since he was down there. 

 

Talk about thrown to the wolves…

 

And I’m not saying he was wrong to bench Jones, but there wasn’t anyone who stood to benefit from the timing today. That one came about a quarter too late, or 2 minutes too early. Take your pick. 

[Colt Overseas]

Julian Blackmon has really settled into SS these past few weeks. Being playing really well and making plays. Himself and Kenny Moore have been doing a great job leading an inexperiened and banged up secondary.

Always thought he was a better SS then Fs. He is better when playing closer to the line of scrimmage. That puts him in the best position to be the play  maker he is.

If we had just one more run stopping DT, i think our defense would be even better. 

 

I do understand the philosophy of let our young guys play, but I feel like we mostly have pass rushers outside of grove and johnson. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I believe today was the deadline to extend any players. Now it has to wait until after the season.

 

Guys I would extend 

Grover 

Pittman

Blackmon 

Lewis 

moore 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Imagine if colts were 6-4 heading into the bye with a easy schedule if the refs hadn’t robbed them.

I was wondering if we'd extend Pittman or Moore. I guess we are waiting until Matt Ryans salary comes off the books.

Me too.

I didn't watch the game.   I had to listen to the recap on the radio.   Let me know if what they said was wrong:

The defense played very well.  Minshew did better than his numbers show against a good defensive effort.

I know its an outdated play design but I want to see Taylor and Moss in backfield at same time. Now that'd be a wrinkle from time to time

That's an accurate recollection of the game.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

For all the flack the WR get on this team ir was nice to see them bail out the QB for once.

[Colt.45]

If BB gets fired over this game, I'm going to need help with stopping the never-ending laughter. Of all the Colts teams, QBs, and performances to do that....this was the worst of all.

[husker61]

The colts offensive line was getting great push the scoring drive and Taylor was getting good gains, then for most of the rest of the game the line wasn’t getting that push. It’s mostly the same players, what happens? That’s the most frustrating thing I have about this offense. If the line can get the push, the colts have the best backs to take advantage of that and the qb wouldn’t have to do much. Maybe they need more physical  lineman instead of pass blocking ones that would compliment their best weapons.

this is why a have said the colts don’t need to draft a wr in the top 2 rounds. I think all their receivers would look a lot better with a good, let alone top qb.

Manning would have made them all pro-bowl contenders.

[husker61]

The d-line getting tremendous pressure on the qb was the only real good thing I saw from the colts this game. I think the pats qb was worried about it the entire game and that is why the colts won. Offense wasn’t good or the rushing defense. Thankfully the pats didn’t just keep running the ball down the colts throat and into the end zone. I was relieved every time the pats went back to pass!

yes! People don’t give enough credit to how much a top qb makes everyone look so much better and the opposite with a bad one.

First half pressure was good/great. Pats adjusted in the second half and it was much tougher sledding overall.

 

Still, I do think we may have rattled him as a result.

Colts only have bengals and bills ahead of them to move up to the 8th playoff seed. I just don’t think they will be able to crack the top 7 with how well Texans are playing.

Some folks think that Belichick will be fired as a result of losing this game - while I think that the Pats will definitely move on from him after this year, I don't think after 9 Superbowl appearances & 6 wins that they'll fire him mid-season but if they were going to, the bye week would be the perfect time to do it.

Gotta wonder if that’s Belichick’s way of tanking?

 

He knows he has no quarterback, and the only way to get one is to secure one of those top picks
