Don't know why everybody is so mad at shane now. Playcall was good. Caught them off guard. Mjnshew and Goodson just couldn't execute.

Wrong player subbed in for the play! If JT is tired, then use Moss. If both are out, run that route with Pittman or Downs.

what about him made him keep us close ?  he has almost as many turnovers as touchdowns throwing under 200 yards a game .    if you wanna crown him crown him

He hasn't had a turnover in the last 2 games, but our defense hasn't forced any either and that hasn't helped.

[AKB]

Season on the line and we throw it to a practice squad running back.

That was great playcall.  Minshew screwed the pooch.  31 was WIDE OPEN.

It hit him in both hands

[tweezy32]

Just stupid to take out your best player on offense. Crazy.

[richard pallo]

Shane sucked when it counted.

Agreed it was drawn up perfectly and the Texans weren’t expecting it. Up to the players to get the job done.

Houston has the better coach. 

 

I doubt it they have defensive coach and could not stop our running game. Shane is better playing with backup QB and bad DC.

Shane duck’d us, but Ballard is at fault for lack of talent 

[Happy2BeHere]

Well, what a disappointing play to an otherwise up and down season. Glad we all got hang out here. Just a disheartening way to end it. Colts had the opportunity and just fell short.

Or the Texans weren’t trading out of the number two spot, especially with a division rival but yeah somehow this is Ballard’s fault.

 

Let me back that up.... I meant to the top spot so THREE up because remember the Colts were always rumored to move up pre draft. I'm not getting into that Ballard's fault nonsense because I was simply saying that Stroud would make this game personal but SINCE you went there I'm quite sure Ballard is doing just fine with his methodical going on 8 yr approach vs Caserio's 2 yr AGGRESSIVE one that has playmakers at the PREMIUM spots across the board like the formula used by many other gms of PLAYOFF caliber teams in today's league.

 

I say again we are not dominant in anything and possess just solid talent overall after ALL this time which is NOT good enough for ACTUAL playoff runs. A run built team in a passing league but hey we have a lot of high RAS scores. Shane (COY candidate) is making the under .500 Ballard appear slightly better this season by masking the voids BUT as usual with CB there's always NEXT season. This defense allowed ONE receiver to kill them KNOWING he was the only option with Dell and Brown being out. Following a sack this defense will give up a nearly 20 yd play on the very next play. Oh well...

There may be good reason.   Let’s hear what Shane says in the post-game.

ignore minshew throwing it behind him with no pressure .  the most inaccurate QB i ever watched

Yeah he threw behind him, but he still should’ve caught it.

[Dingus McGirt]

Just now, bluebombers87 said:

Hit him in both hands

LOL.  Look at it again.  He could not have caught the ball with his momentum going upfield and that pass so far behind him.  

[IndyEV]

Gonna be another looong depressing offseason! I dont even want to start thinking about the draft!😒

Yeah? Not sure I agree with that. I mean it’s good to have a QB. 

[richard pallo]

Better coached team won.  They were missing a lot of starters.  We couldn’t take advantage.

[ADnum1]

Colts were beaten by the better team.

 

It's up to Ballard to.fix it.

 

Can Ballard fix it ?

If it hits the receiver in both hands they have to catch it. Simple 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Can't shine.......turd.

Bad game from Steinchen s playcalling.....minshew......and defense letting them come back from long yardage. 

9-8 

In reality not play off worthy and that's on Ballard too..

Bad throw dude

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steichen is going to have to answer for taking Taylor off the field.

[AKB]

Let's be honest we over achieved anyways. Roster needs more talent. 

 

7th rounders starting all over the place. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was some Frank Reich crap by Steichen.

Don't accuse one of judgmental nonsense, when spewing your own version of the same. LOLOL

people are crazy going after shane ......  switch coaches and replay this game and give shane stroud ..   i think it would be a blow out .   shane was given a horrible QB who cant play very well and almost made the playoffs with bad wrs tightends and a average defense
