Lol I forgot how much I hated 3rd and long

But just think about how much the other team loves it. 
 

It’s all about the spin you put on it…

[richard pallo]

Defense is playing awesome.

[Solid84]

Our Dline is getting there, there's just noone behind them to pick up anything.

[coming on strong]

Three point gift courtesy of the Colts coach. Fortunately it wasn’t seven.

running it on third and 6 wasnt the best move.

Enjoy seeing them live!

 

Thanks. How are the Colts doing?

for most teams 3d and short is 50-50... with our defense, 3d and long is like 30-70... 

[SR711]

Anyone else think Houston got screwed on that spot on 3rd down? In live action looks like Diggs was past sticks when he went down? Didn’t see a replay of it either

[chad72]

Folks dogging on Steichen should stop. They’re stacking the box for JT and AR for option runs and daring AR to throw. AR just needed to hit a simple throw to AD. Right call, bad execution

Too soft underneath

We have looked pretty good so far. But that’s always been my problem with his defense. We play aggressive 1st & 2nd down but play 8-10 yards off the ball on 3rd down. I’ve never seen a team get so many easy 3rd down conversions.

Hopefully, this year it changes & this was just a few good plays by Stroud

I'm surprised they didn't challenge the sport, nor go for it

No, he slid forward a few yards

Went for a 4th and one and at midfield didn't convert, held Houston to a Fg. 

[Old Man and the COLTS]

I thought the new kickoff was not as violent wow

[Solid84]

AR's first run!

[HungarianColtsFan]

First FD of the season!

[Hark]

Suck it, Pierce haters!

[Turftoe]

A Bomb for 7 👍

[SteelCityColt]

WOW

[Solid84]

JT first down!

Thank you 😄

[2006Coltsbestever]

AR to Pierce TD! Take that!

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Oh if only Pierce had a Qb to heave it to him last year 

[Robert Johnson]

I was about to say lets run it down their throats,this works though

[Solid84]

Deserved Pierce got that one after the preseason he's had!

[HungarianColtsFan]

AR's shoulder looks fine to me.

[chad72]

Get them safeties to back off and run down their throats in the fourth quarter 

[Patrick Miller]

Daaaaaaannnnggg!!!!

[IinD]

Wow..lol

We haven't had that kind of qb in EVER..lol

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Looks like a lot of slipping on new turf

[SR711]

And that folks is why AR was drafted where he was 60+ yard throw off his back foot on a rope…not a lot of guys in the league who can do that

[krunk]

Ooooh Weeeee! Love that TD baby

[stitches]

off the back foot after he slipped... off platform... 70 yards in the air... ROFLMAO!!!
