Colts @ Titans post game reaction

[GoColts8818]

React here 

Michael Pittman with the walk off!

[colts89]

I can't wait to see more of Will Levis without Derrick Henry going forward.

[John Waylon]

Well, we won. So there was that. 
 

But boy there is a lot to unpack with this one…

 

[cjwhiskers]

So very sloppy and shouldn't have been close but absolute clutch plays when we needed them. Thankfully we get Grove back next week. Our D will look a bit better. 

 

Offense needs to finish in the redzone. No excuse to go 1/5.

[stitches]

Nice! Well done! I love what Steichen has brought to this team. This team has moxie and spirit! Our talent is nowhere near enough for us to be scoring this many points and winning this many games. But somehow... they just get in position to win them even through offensive mistakes and questionable defensive possessions...

Division games matter. And they’re always tough. 
 

Team win! Tough win! Matt Ryan said Pittman would need to step up to keep the playoff hopes going. Mission accomplished! And props to Pierce! 
 

Go Colts!

[Yoshinator]

That was a game....

 

We got bailed out by the extra point miss and ended up winning in OT, but it was a lot of fun.

 

Defense did well against Levis, but we have to learn to defend the run. Overall, we got lucky, but took advantage of it. Law of averages and all that. Very Happy!

You pay Pittman whatever he wants. Pierce came up clutch too

[TrueBlue4ever]

We win! We Win! WE WIN!!! Team!!!

 

Pierce and Granson found a way! All 3 phases, let’s celebrate!!!  Gritty Win

Yeah that whole Pittman isn't elite is so stupid.

The guy balls out when given a chance. He's not Marvin Harrison... So what...

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pittman and Pierce both over 100 yards.

Yep. Pittman and Pierce looked great! We may finally have the remnants of a WR core. Proud of both.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pittman wants the responsibility of being the one and he has come through last two games.

He's worth around 100 yards a game and usually a TD. Guy is basically a no1 WR now.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts are going to the playoffs. I don’t see this team melting down these last 5 games. 

[GoColts8818]

Positives:
Pittman and Pierce:  Both had HUGE games today

Colts pass rush:  Not a lot of sacks but put pressure on Levis at key moments

Colts discipline:  this is why not committing penalties is so important 

Special teams:  two blocks (okay one called a fumble but it was a block), Rigo did a good job punting, and Matt Gay was perfect.  Only bad play was the run back but that was more on the offense.

Shane and taking the points:  just stayed with it all day and didn’t panic when they were down 10 and just took what was there rather than trying to force TDs.

Buckner:  no one will be more happy to see Grover back than him but man did he come to play.

Secondary:  maybe Jones worst day but the rest of the secondary was good, including Baker.  Kenny Moore continues to be great.

Down the field offense:  Gardner can do it so let’s see it more!

 

Bad:

Colts run defense.  They were decent on the inside game but man they never figured out or adjusted to the outside run defense.  Grover back next week should help but he won’t help outside.

Moss:  infective today.   Not all on him.  Run blocking was not good and Shane’s play calling with Moss wasn’t great.

Gardner’s second half:  just ugly until overtime after that 10 minute drive to open the second half.  
Shane play calling in the second half:  I wasn’t impressed.  He seemed determined to run the ball up the middle no matter how infective it was.  With that said he did uncork that call in OT and I thought he did a good job in the first half.  
Tackling:  I know I am a broken record on this but it continues to be a problem.

The good news about the run defense, Big Grove comes back this week

Yep, big divisional win. We needed this win in the worst way. Playoffs are a possibility now!

True, but I hope you get my point.

 

There's been tons of 'oh he's no alpha so pay him $2 million or let him walk talk for a long time here'.. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

As much as Gardner can make stupid mistakes he came through when it counted today.

of course.  Without Manning, would Marvin have done as well???

McAfee is correct on all this:

A Win is a win no matter how ugly or pretty. Great special teams plays!!!

Offense needs to finish in the redzone. No excuse to go 1/5. 

Aside from the obvious win being # 1, my biggest take away is how much better they will be in the RZ with Richardson. 

[craigerb]

We need to practice 1st and goal from the 5 yd line.

[teganslaw]

Colts special teams rocks! I checked the Titans message boards (why not?) and many fans are upset with Vrabel. They want him sent back to NE. 

 

It felt good to sweep the Titans, first time we did this since 2018.
