Our team, once again, didn’t show up. At least so far. I’ll be here cheering as loud as I can but man it’s so repetitive year after year

what is the common denominator? 
 

The answer is qb play… 

[EasyE]

It's all good Shane will get things better 2nd half. Still close and in reach. No worries 

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Considering the mighty CJ Stroud future hall of famer  is playing for the Texans and we only gave up 14 points It’s not that bad 

 

Need to make some adjustments on offense 

[IinD]

I don't want to be negative until I have to so... Go Colts...

 

Gonna be a fun second half .

Player’s need to catch the ball.

Well if Mo could grow another yard he would have had a sure TD dang in Mo for not being Mister fantastic, work on that in the off-season.

[Roosarioo]

We’ve been shocking when behind at HT all season. Let’s see if we turn things around when things haven’t gone well for a change.

[coltsva]

Trying to stay positive. We only need to play one good half of football to make the playoffs. 

[MB-ColtsFan]

If we do a better job of executing on offense we can win this.

What universe do you live in where the OL is playing poorly. Minshew has had plenty of time and the run game is doing very well.

Score sure confirms that

[Solid84]

So far the ‘not good enough/lack of pressure’ Dline has won out over the ‘49 sacks baby!’ Dline. 
 

We need more pressure on Stroud. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Stroud has played OK, nothing great. He had the opening long TD other than that not much. They only have 14 points. Our offense has been flat, that has been the problem. Still only down 14-6, there is a whole half to go.

im the biggest proponent in that. My wife would attest. It drives me crazier than anything that happens on a football field. 
 

but there was what two drops this half? Minshew has missed guys, he didn’t see a wide open Alex Pierce downfield, he overthrows an open alie-cox, he doesn’t recognize pressure when it’s coming, he can’t even see 12 men on the field and take a deep shot… he’s not a starting qb. Teams rally behind qb play. Period.

we dont have enough above average talent on offense

[Happy2BeHere]

Offense has really got to pull it together, I really thought our defense would be the issue but thus far they’ve done better than I expected given how abhorrent the offense has been. 

[Rolltide_gocolts]

* player open on the sideline *
 

minshew: * throws ball to the cotton candy vendor * 

[a06cc]

We need some Angels in the outfield to help our secondary 🤣

[holeymoley99]

Need more Granson and Mallory less MAC and NO Rodney Thomas

He dropped an easy first down earlier.  We’ll see if he’s back next year.  Love his blocking though.

[Moe]

Still plenty of time, only takes one play!

[Dingus McGirt]

Apparently, C.J. Stroud is the new Taylor Swift.

[Happy2BeHere]

We’d need stretch Armstrong out there on the team to catch some of the passes minny throws

[#12.]

Stroud is a 21 year old QB playing in his first big NFL game.  Can we please treat him like that?

We need more pressure on Stroud. 

they are using a lot of tight end delay routes to stall the d-line. I mean it’s literally 6 on 4 quite often with one of those guys slipping out to be open underneath. All-in-all, if the offense could move the sticks and put points on the board, we would be praising this defense tonight.

Yes he did but the issue has far more been Minshew.

He’s 10/13 for 151 yards and 2 TDs?

[Rolltide_gocolts]

We’ve seen the best that Houston’s got…… it’s time to capitalize on offense.. we’re down 8 and I feel like it’s 21

Just for tonight. If he ends up going into KC he’ll be forgotten.

You might not like it but he’s lived up to the billing and the difference in the game right now.  He’s made his big plays Minshew hasn’t.

one is rookie of the year and one is a backup qb…

We need more pressure on Stroud. 

We need to score a TD. Stroud going forward is going to get his points vs anyone, and beyond the first snap, the Colts D has been pretty solid vs their offense. The offense has to not self destruct with bad throws and even worse drops.

[GoColts8818]

Yeah people not wanting to give Stroud credit are just hatters at this point.  He’s been the difference in the game so far.

our dbs look confused like they dont know where to be

Nah...they'll show him with Taylor Swift.

Your point?  My point was that Stroud has been the difference in the game and deserving the credit he’s getting not that Minshew should be as good as Stroud.

gus needs to find a way to pressure stroud or we are done, could be they have better talent than we do. we need help from the refs

he cant stop calling cover 3   he is horrible .  the texans know it

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Texans have one WR and colts didn’t even bother to cover him.

That 1 long TD pass is the chunk of his yards. Outside of that, we have stopped them every time but once.

Our dbs are trash too! Keep getting burnt on double moves!

 

NEVER NEVER draft a 6'3" corner. That also runs in the 4.5's.

R. Thomas made a mental mistake. Shocking.

He’s earning his checks for sure tonight. And he’s backing up his talk as well.
