Why didn't the Steelers use their timeouts to try to score? I would not have liked that if I was a Steelers fan.

Trubitsky.  If Thomas had been more aware in that last series Colts might have had a shot at another 3 points.

With 1 extra day there is possibility for Pittman to be back next week.

Yep.  Hey I am not going to argue with it.

 

I like pinning opponents against their own end zone. There are more of opportunities to make big plays for defensive scores, and if the opponents have to punt, it gives the team better field position.

[IinD]

No Pittman, 3rd 4th string players playing hard. 

 

Guys keep fighting...

Similar to last game hopefully we keep the same energy. Their DBs are struggling.

Difference was that all came in about five minutes, not unlike the two Steelers scores today, today it felt like the Colts took over the game after the Steelers had a good drive and a fluky score.

[Solid84]

On a side note I think Minshew has had a decent game so far.

Poor first half and a one point lead.  I'll take it.

Apparently we're 6-0 this season when leading at halftime.

I’d say he’s had a great game.  His had one pass tipped and one kinda what are you doing throw but other than Watt just owning Freeland a few times which isn’t on Minshew he’s played about as good as you can ask for.

Watt is the exception most players miss time with concussions.

I made a list of dudes this year who were concussed and didn't miss a game lol. I was like why do our guys miss..

Olave

Carr

Cooper

Purdy 

Just to name a few lol

[Rolltide_gocolts]

We need Matt Gay to settle down and refocus… got a feeling we’re gonna need him big time this 2nd half

That’s nice,  now make a list of the guys who have missed a game, it’s significantly longer.

I think he has.  He’s done better since he hit the first extra point.  I am hoping that got his confidence back.

I don't think players should be rushed back if they have sustained concussions.

[IndyEV]

Still havent heard any news on Moss?

Hopefully JT is back next game.

And that’s why you take the FG.  Relying on this defense for anything is playing with fire

 

THIS team being conservative with so so talent and a bunch of backups would NOT even be in the playoff race!!!! Shane has been aggressive ALL season so keep doing what we do! That was his staple in Philly that rode it all the way to the SB! The mindset that Shane is establishing will do wonders once the talent level of the team elevates. That SAME mindset is also WHY we LEAD at halftime!!! Go Colts!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Minshew had a really good half.

[Happy2BeHere]

Colts best come out and score a TD to start this half.

They got down there GOING for it....

The decision to go for it might have been questionable, but ultimately the execution failed (dropped pass).  I don't blame him going for it either.

I don't think they should either.. but why were those rushed? That's all I'm saying..

There hasn’t been an update beyond the reported he’s questionable to return with an arm injury after he went down.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

At least Pittman will have an extra day. Steelers have a safety problem second half.

8 minutes ago, Jared Cisneros said:

Why is he the exception? Because he's a better player his brain is less susceptible to concussions? Or is it favoritism by the league?

He’s one of the very few players to have ever returned for the next game after getting concussed

This is a fair statement and a good post.

Yeah some don’t get that an exception means a stats exception not an exception because he got some kind of special treatment.

He’s on my fantasy team and the app shows him as out with an arm/neck

[Dingus McGirt]

Minshew will learn to rely on others beside Pittman.

[indyagent17]

It’s crazy we do have our top QB, RB, WR and the backups are making plays. Pierce is ticking me off short arming the ball . 
 

We need to play with patience and don’t hold the ball too long Gardner

I hear you. Speaking of concussions, I wonder if Hayden Hurst has returned to play. He had a concussion about 4 weeks ago. He was still having amnesia after 2-3 weeks.

[GoColts8818]

There is your update on Moss.  Still in the locker room and still questionable to return.

[Yoshinator]

good, fitzpatrick ruled out.

[DEColtsLover36]

Hoping Goodson keeps his fire going!

[Yoshinator]

Is Downs in the game? I don't see Minshew throwing to him at all.

[GoColts8818]

This is the second Colts game this season Eisen has called and that’s at least 35 too many.

[NFLfan]

Nice punt!

[Solid84]

Dropped it again. 

[Zoltan]

Another drop 

[JediXMan]

Downs was open.

[krunk]

man bro you got to catch these balls!

[csmopar]

Ugh needed points there

He’s a practice squad WR.  My expectations have already been met.  He’s not good to start with.
