AR made it!

[Nadine]

phew

[Happy2BeHere]

The old colts team would have given up…

[Solid84]

Let's GO!

[Robert Johnson]

Might not be enough time though

They’re gonna be running the ball to drain the clock, and… 

 

I don’t wanna take that bet. 

That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off  

[John Waylon]

Lot of time ran off the clock there….

[AKB]

insane push by AR to get that 

[IndySouthsider]

You don’t chase points in the third quarter.

 

I cannot express how bad that call was by Coach Steichen.

[gspdx]

I didn't like going for 2 points earlier and this is the exact scenario.  Chasing points early is not a great idea.

[Lancer1]

AR's size & strength were the deciding factors on that TD.

[ColtsGermany]

Oh man....This team gives you heart attacks every time they step on the field. Always gives you hope when you think they're done and the other way round....

[Hark]

Let’s gooooo! Three timeouts left

[GwinnettColt]

Need a TO to win this.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was so risky. They should of kicked 

[bluebombers87]

No excuse for the D to be tired. Had more than enough time

[2006Coltsbestever]

Still have all 3 timeouts and the 2-minute warning. Come on D!

[richard pallo]

Shane is one crazy coach.  Saved by Richardson.  

[Happy2BeHere]

We need our D to step up big time here now!

[Solid84]

COME ON D!

[AKB]

not sure why the negativity on shane, I really don't see it. i think he's coached a heckuva game

We’d still be within 3

[Happy2BeHere]

I did not agree going for it on 4th…should have kicked the FG

But we could have tied with a 2 pt conversion now if we had the one earlier.  Tied now would be great.

[AKB]

3 timesouts plus the 2 minute , that's really good to start

No guarantee we’d have gotten that close again, odds are greater for a FG next time with a time crunch 

[HungarianColtsFan]

Either D makes a TO or we're doomed.

[AKB]

when we run 4-3 base Carlies gets the 3rd backer spot

[Happy2BeHere]

Got one stop! Come on keep going D

[bluephantom87]

 

Ballard loves his guys!!!!! Mixon and Diggs were added via FA to the Texans on a quickly built team that has already won the division last year. Us run back and pay all the mediocre players accumulated by the suspect gm. Oh and let's keep the meh dc also! In Ballard we trust.... 

[Dingus McGirt]

Stroud’s gonna pass after the timeout.

[csmopar]

3rd and 6, biggest play of the day right here

We can get a stop on 3rd down and hit a big play to be in FG range 

[Happy2BeHere]

Step up defense…you gotta believe!!

Can’t predict the future. No way of knowing where we’d be late in the game. If we had gotten it then we’d have been tied now too

[AKB]

hopefully we press their WR and dont give them 4 yards for free

[Solid84]

LET'S GO! Come one Colts, finish it!

He might. They don’t want to give the Colts this much time just needing a FG
