Taylor could miss time

The complexity here. He finished the game, so its not necessarily unrealistic to think he could continue to play. 
 

However, things are never that simple. We can’t disregard one of his major gripes was him feeling pressure to play through injury last year. Will he feel the same this year? He got paid but will the Colts hold back on having him play?

Do we think there is any influence here by the release of Shaq and their shared agent?

 

Obviously we don’t know the significance of the injury but I’m curious if those other factors will play heavily into the decision on whether or not he stays on the field.
 
I’d hope he can get back out there, dude was really looking like his old self and showing why he got the money he did.

Some people's character in here is sad, who laughs at Taylor injuring his thumb. 

Some people are just inherently negative, sceptical, miserable people.   Others, Like me, though balanced and measured, like to look at the positive, bright side of things.  :)

Pretty awful timing if he misses time tbh. Divisional game that we need to win. Moss is good, but now he's all we have. Going to make things that much harder.

 

Huge bad beat that Stewart will be back the following week. I just can't envision stopping that tank running between the tackles without him.

I liked what our OL did vs the vaunted Bucs run D. If our OL shows up, JT or Moss can have good days and we should be able to do plenty enough in the passing game to beat the Titans.

 

Get better JT, we need you when we make the playoffs to go down swinging. :)

We know moss can handle the work load at least. He was 6.9 yards per carry against Bucs. It was just nice to have a change of pace back. The split with them was really good against Bucs.

If Taylor doesn't play, the good thing is Moss is pretty well rested. He didn't get that many carries this past week. I think we still win.

With a small fracture, it’s possible he can get a minor surgery & only miss 2 games. I broke my finger, opted to play through it, & it didn’t hold me back at all after a week outside of a lack of complete grip strength. Hopefully it’s not a break at the bottom of the finger

Or a ligament

I know, but we are without Stewart for one more game. So it kinda evens out. 

There entire OL is bad.  We’re just missing one piece.  A good one no doubt but we have every one else.  It’s not like no one is playing his position.  It should be advantage Colts.

We will win this game by at least a TD, their O.Line sucks, Levis is wet behind the ears, and Moss is good enough to carry us home. As long as we don't play dumb and Turn it Over, I see know way we lose this game.

Bradley said they were sacrificing run yards to help protect the pass after the saints game.  Mr guess is they will go all out to stop run this game and force Levis to throw.

I'll quote all three of you at the same time. Levis has fallen back to Earth, so if we dare him to throw, then we have a good shot at winning this game. We'll see how the Titans respond if we go all-out to defend the run. They do have Chig and Hopkins still as options.

    • Ok.  25 years.  How many Sb's and playoff appearances have we seen from the Colts in those 25 years?  The past 35 years?  The past 10 years?  Why reward incompetence with your loyalty?   People continually want to give their favorite sports team too much credit and favoritism.  The call at 2:01 was not a difficult thing.  Every pee wee coach in the USA could make that call. Run the ball out of the endzone. Burn the 2 minute warning.   Our Colts coaches did not do that.
    • Who are these Barstoolsports writers? I am not a fan of the one that wrote that article.
    • AR will be fine. Give him some time to gain some confidence and clean up his mechanics a bit. 
    • A few things in response....   I agree they needed a first down to ice the game.  I literally said that.  My point was IF THEY DID NOT DO THAT....would you rather have the Bears (again assuming the Colts did not get a first down)  with the ball on their own 40 yard line with 10 seconds to go or their own 25-30 with 45 seconds to go.  To me this is a no brainer.  The ball on the 40 with 10 seconds left.  They needed a TD.  Not a FG.   Field position meant almost nothing.    Secondly, I literally said Gould should be able to return the ball between the 15-25 yard line and then slide down.  Here is what I said... "there is no question that Gould should have taken the ball to the 15-25 yard line and slid down."  Could be the 15.  Could be the 25.  Again because they needed a TD it really didn't matter.  An extra 10-15 yards of field position in the Colts favor is not worth an extra 35 seconds for the Bears.   That is simple math.    Third.....your math is wrong.     First down for the Colts at 1:55 after the run out of the endzone.  Run the ball.  Bears call timeout at 1:49.   Second down run the ball to 1:41, play clock starts there and then hike the ball at 1:06 and run the ball again.   Third  down.  Run the ball.  Play clock starts at .57.   Run the ball.  Play clock starts around .50.   Run the clock down to .15.  Call timeout.   Punt.  Play clock stops around .10 or so.  This is pure math.    So I have to ask....what is your logic and reasoning about that the clock being stopped at 30 seconds and the Bears getting the ball?  You just added on 20 seconds for no reason that I can see.  Please explain because it makes no sense at all.  Strictly talking about logic and math here.  Not feelings.    Fourth...I totally agree the confusion at the end  may have played a part in the Colts not doing the right thing there.  But again, that is on the Colts coaching staff and their incompetence.    They are paid $millions to figure stuff like that out.  If I can do it watching on TV in that second, how can the Colts coaching staff not do this with 30 people paid to do this?   Make that make sense.
