2023 Game #15: Colts @ Falcons, Sunday, December 24th, 1PM EST

[Patrick Miller]

Well, I thought we might make a comeback in this half but this team just doesn’t have it. Too many mistakes and bad coaching. I was hoping they would put out a better effort.

[Shive]

We really need a turnover here.

Between Robinson, Allgeier, Patterson, and JT...JT is the 4th best runner on the field today.

Yup.

Maybe this is a trap game and we overlooked them 

im not sure we have overlooked anyone, because we aren’t good enough to. 
 

we’ve just outplayed our expectations to make this type of performance seem unacceptable. It happened two weeks ago. Minshew plays better at LOS. Hopefully we can win out at home and squeeze into the mix. 

[chickenMan]

Play call TV guy is spot-on, Atlanta hasn’t turned it over, and without turnovers, our D is in big trouble. And hey, a pressure there forced Heineke to throw it away!

[Smoke317]

Tip for Minshew.  Stop throwing your WR1, who you are very reliant on, so many hospital balls & he’d be out there helping you today.

Bradley needs to wear a bag over his head.

Isn't that how he calls his plays??

[w87r]

2 possession game still.

[NFLfan]

[GoColts8818]

Got to have a TD here and then for the defense to do ANYTHING.

[chickenMan]

Two straight plays we pressure and play man, and Heineke can’t make either throw. That should’ve been the D game plan all day.

Does it matter we both lose and it’s Cleve, cincy, and Buffalo. Colts and Texans looking for help 

Bengals still have to play KC and Browns 

[ColtStrong2013]

A touchdown drive. A 3 and out. A touchdown drive. A turnover. Bleed the clock out. 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Have they punted yet??  I don't think so?

I love Pittman and Downs, but idc wherever we draft in this upcoming draft… Im taking a Wr. No matter what. This is terrible without Pittman.

pitt is our number one, our one and only wr

[richard pallo]

How about rolling out Minschew.

[Yoshinator]

TD, a stop, and another TD to win it. There's a path at least.

Yeah they have, once or twice.

[w87r]

Colts will most likely stay in the 7 spot this week, even with this loss.(if we don't come back and win)

 

Have to go look, but think they should with Texans losing.

I was waiting for the announcer to shout...CAUGHT FOR THE TD...lol

[Smoke317]

Minshew has to put two TD drives together. Be nice to get a defensive turnover in there somewhere too as we sneak out of ATL with a 1 point win.

They have there was that stretch after it was 7 to 7 that neither offense could do anything.

[SR711]

I guarantee you that Bradley and those in the front office that support this passive style of defense are considering it a “win” they only gave up 3 on that drive.

 

The 1st down they allowed on WR screen was unacceptable.  Hard to win anytime when things like that happen

[krunk]

we gotta get 7 on this drive

[TrueBlue4ever]

This is it! Huge drive for a TD 

[IinD]

Gotta get points here doesn't matter if it's 3 or 7

I think this is the worst tackling I have seen this year. D is definitely gassed and exposed today. Lots of work to do. The odds makers knew this was coming, crazy line movement told me this egg was going to laid.

The Bengals won’t make the playoffs. 5 of their 8 wins have come against NFC teams, meaning they’re only 3-7 against AFC opponents and 0-5 in the AFCN. They only have 1on1 tiebreakers against us, Buffalo, and Jax, no other tiebreakers against Denver, Houston, Pittsburgh, or any 3-way ties

It's technically a win because if they score a td, it's over. Scoring 2 TDs ourselves and winning it is another story.

Need 7.

Granson has been our best player today

our talent level is not as good as the falcons, coaching cant make up for below average talent

Gotta be seven you are running out or time and you are down 13.  3 keeps it a two score game.

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Let’s score two TDS and end this thing

[FRW]

Quick question. When we line up on defense our line has four guys spread very wide with run lanes right up the middle. When Atlanta or for that matter any team we play lines up they have five guys lined up tight with no obvious holes and still have two edge rushers available to shut down the outside runs and rush the passer. Seriously where are the rest of our defenders? It's like we are constantly in a prevent defense.

[Patrick Miller]

Keep your fingers crossed

[GoColts8818]

I think the passing offense has been way too complex, especially without Pittman.  They need more of that quick three step drop and out passes.

[compuls1v3]

2 drops by Downs....
