Atlanta is dog water and to lose to a team like this is just terrible. It’s like losing to the panthers honestly

Atlants is top 10 in defensive numbers for several metrics. They’ve lost about 5 to 6 1-score games, their issues were offense related. So that’s why no NFL team can be judged purely on record

Games like this show that our talent level is STILL mid tier at best... Wish Minshew could go against our PASSIVE defense cause Atlanta has been bringing heat!!!!

Story of the Colts over the past decade though. We never truely stink for long enough to get a group of blue chip guys together in the top 10-15 of the draft.

 

 We stink for one year grab a QB and try to move forward with mid talent around them.

[JediXMan]

Going 2-2 against the NFCS is pathetic.

Seattle at  the 5 and touchdown

We sucked today! But there is hope because we seem to play 50/50 each week 🤣🤣🤣

What?! How'd that happen?

They're in Carolina, and the Panthers may have been inspired by their win last week.

Frank is gone and Carolina is now playing much better....

A BUST!!!

[Patrick Miller]

Hey we only lost by 20 points to a crappy falcons team! Lol! Could be worse right? Right? Seriously, though what the heck happened to the discipline on this team?

[a06cc]

Our defense sucks, but it’s easy to fix. Need a MLB and a DE to help Buckner

Because he can't run any other way.  Its him.  Even when he's running with space to the outside, JT turns it inside.

You are right. People are blind to JT’s shortcomings. We’ve enough years of seeing it. Unfortunately you’re the ultimate contrarian messenger and that works against you on this front

Browns kinda making this sting less painful.

No it's not rofl, Atlanta has a talented roster with mid coaching. The Panthers have the worst roster in the league with abysmal coaching.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I know it makes it hard when you have a QB that won’t throw deep but colts have not found answers all year for teams shutting the run game down.

[indyagent17]

Well one step forward and then look horrible. I know we have injuries but this is pathetic. Steichen looks lost and Bradley’s defense mindset has let us down again. Lumps of coal all around.

Yep, Gus is the gift that keeps on giving. First game without a turnover all year 

[HungarianColtsFan]

So much more of playoffs.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Merry Christmas everyone.

Peace

Caught a break. But at this point I don’t care about Texans or jags. Colts just don’t deserve the playoffs with this kind of effort.

Gus was dropping passes, unable

to run and throwing a game losing interception?

It’s one thing for a defense to look bad when you have no talent. It’s a whole other thing when your dc makes zero adjustments. Steichen was bad today too. Zero adjustments on offense also.

He got us in position for our only TD,... all our WRs played bad today.  Granson was a bright spot.  That's about it.

Ha!  

 

I meant how did the Panthers tie the game? The Packers were leading by at least 2 TDs. I took for granted that the Packers won the game.

 

The Jets were leading by 3 scores but Jacoby Brissett replaced Sam Howell and has the Commanders within 6 points.

[tweezy32]

Bull crap 15 yard penalty call on speed, offsides on field goal, offense flag (forgot what it was when it was 1st and 10 in there 20), missed pass interference at the end. These plays screwed us

"game losing interception", that is a stretch. Game was over before that. 

[HOZER]

Hmmmmm almost like we were missing our true #1 receiver……..

i think its more of a talent issue .   we have no real weapons outside of pittman  the defense is average we dont have great cover linebackers or a good secondary .   run blocking has been horrible this year offensive line is overrated outside of nelson and kelly .

It was a bad day all around. Who are you, Gus’ long lost cousin??

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Well, on the Bright side the Steelers and Mike  Tomlin are happy with this result. 

They will hope the colts lose at least one more.....will Steinchen oblige them???

hindsight is fun, but we should have traded Leonard and kept Okereke. I loved Bobby. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

This loss is disappointing but doesn't really bother me. A lot of football left. We need to win our last 2 games, we do that, then everything will fall in place. 1 loss isn't dooms day  

[a06cc]

The offense put the defense in position to give up 29 points.

another ballard miss at wr

[Dobbinblitz]

Both lines got mauled for four quarters - that was the root cause and the overwhelming deciding factor in The game today.

This team is beautiful. Haven’t really followed today. Let me guess. Alec pierce didnt do a damn thing today??

Pierce another great Ballard pick.

 

Ballard couldn't draft a play making WR if one came up and slapped him in the face

Oh Gus stunk today, but the offense was 10 times worse and mostly to blame for today’s game. Defense was holding them to 3 

[Lancer1]

Jacoby Brissett is leasing the comeback for Washington against the Jets - after trailing by 20 at the half, it's  now 27-21 with Washington driving down the field.

[ColtStrong2013]

Everybody take a deep breath. 
 

in the words of Daniel the Tiger, “if you feel so sad and you wanna roar. Take a deep breath, and count to four.” 
 

in all seriousness, we still have opportunities left. Of the 3, this was the one to lay the giant turd that we left in Atlanta. 

have a merry Christmas and count your blessings.
