It’s amazing how well the defense is keeping us in the game.  When is our offense going to get going.

We have converted 3

[Solid84]

Come on O get points on the board!

[DiogoSales]

15 points on 3rd Q against this O is not Bad, it's on the ofense now.

[Happy2BeHere]

If things go well we will be showing them our “O” face - office space.

Fire Ballard and Steichen!!! Is first half of first game too soon for this? Nope, just getting in early as most of the Colts’ fan base will agree by November.

 

No Mr Ballard should be on thin ice! Eight years and running while other teams are aggressively flipping their fortunes. See afc south alone in Ballard's below .500 tenure. Not good enough! But hey I'm just waiting on Ballard's usual "it's on me nonsense" at season's end.

Colts defense is so bad the Texans might as well go for it

Our O is bad enough we won’t even hit a wide open guy for a TD, and they have JT locked down. So playing with a lead even if small is a good idea against an O that has a close to rookie QB

2 hands and he could have had it! But Noooo! Cost another 3 pts!!

That would have been a hard catch for a pro bowl WR in Jones’ position. The fact that he was able to get 1 on it and make it incomplete saved 6.

Had he put both of his arms up to try to get the ball, he wouldn't have touched it. He only got the 1 hand on it because reaching with one arm allowed a farther reach. It would have been nice for him to bring it in to 2 hands, which he tried to do, but it's not as easy to do that when you're fully extended like that.

[Solid84]

Not getting a lot of holes from the Oline.

Nope.

[bluebombers87]

Good punts today. Silver lining!

[csmopar]

3 and out…

[HungarianColtsFan]

What was AR is waiting for there...

 

He didn't keep an eye on the pressure coming.

Not great pass pro either

[Patrick Miller]

Punt 

[IndyEV]

JT up the middle gets a couple yards but puts us in 3rd and mid-long! I’m questioning this playcalling so far! Almost think Steichen thinks is still preseason!

[Patrick Miller]

Nice

[Derakynn]

Some truly inspiring offense and play calling here.

[Dingus McGirt]

O is struggling-D has held them to 15 midway 3rd quarter.  That’s against a high-powered offense.

[JMichael557]

Offensive line is not performing. 

[Solid84]

I'm missing some designed QB runs here to keep the defense guessing. Looks a little like we're just going through the motions.

[richard pallo]

Three and out.  Colts putting too much pressure on the defense.  We really need a turnover in a big way.

Ballard builds from inside out and he's sticking with it....

Just saying we need to get JT more outside runs instead of up the gut!

Steichen can’t win.

 

He doesn’t use JT, he isn’t using him. He uses JT and OL doesn’t open holes, it also becomes his fault 

 

Lets just remember that the Texans game plan is to shut down JT and our run game and make AR pass more

[Happy2BeHere]

Everyone was crying for JT to carry the ball and so he did twice and now some are unhappy 🤔 

[coltsfan_canada]

Shane showing up as Frank Reich run in the middle

[John Waylon]

If Richardson had taken off a little quicker he may have picked that up. But he stuttered and the defense closed.

Good comeback from Rigoberto.

Some predictable play calling.

[SR711]

It’s clear the Texans have keyed on not letting JT beat them and the intermediate passing game has not good enough to compensate and make them pay.
