Looks like a lot of slipping on new turf

There's definitely something odd about that.

[cgi4life]

Ooooo my, i just passed out due to excitement 😆 

[#12.]

That's the formula with Richardson - legs and big plays.

 

Threading the needle on 3rd or 4th down?  Not so much.

[RollerColt]

CHOKE ON THAT BABY!

 

Richardson to Pierce!

[Dingus McGirt]

New shoes needed to grip this surface

There's Pierce.   Good thing AR can't throw lol!

He can throw far but smaller tight windows underneath is where he needs to improve and once he gets better at it, he will be the next Jalen Hurts, IMO

[John Waylon]

Richardson slipped and nearly fell before that play exploded…

 

[KB]

BOOM

[Lifetime Colt]

Everybody done with the first possession melt down now?

[CardiacColts]

This is what this team is capable of. We have to be patient. He is the youngest QB in the league. We know the talent is there. But good lord is that fun to watch! 

[azcolt]

Great throw! The Colts better get their money back on that slippery new turf.

[Jjdog336969]

If Richardson gets better with the  short/touch throws, it will be a fun season.  That was a flat footed dime.

To be fair, it’s the first game of the year losing since 2014 that has us anxious more

 

Its a 60 minute game anyways 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Take that Stroud! 

[Solid84]

Well done Kenny

[NFLfan]

Did I read TD for Pierce?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Hold them to a FG

[azcolt]

D-line not getting it done

[Hark]

Yes

[Old Man and the COLTS]

We getting close to stroud better secondary play and we get to him

[Jjdog336969]

Field seems like an issue on both sides and both sides of the ball, gonna have to address that.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sacked his rear! 

[RollerColt]

DOWN GOES STROUD

[Lifetime Colt]

Yeah, there should be a sack on every play.

Good tackle Lewis

[HungarianColtsFan]

Sack!!!!!

[Solid84]

There we go!

[richard pallo]

Stroud getting too much time.  Finally got to him.

[Derakynn]

This pass rush is looking nice.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Their FG K is automatic. FG is better than a TD though. Colts still lead 7-6.

[Solid84]

Just a great bullrush by Paye.

Same problem as last year…get close with pressure but not finishing. That’s why I don’t put a lot of stock in that qb pressures stat…a lot of times these elite qbs can still carve you up when faced with pressure.

 

Lewis just did a good job of getting Stroud down and finishing the job on that last 3rd down

[IinD]

Bring that heat guys..

Ok good pressure that time but the “sack” was by Stroud’s OT

[Colts1324]

Since when did 50+ yarders become automatic lol Would have been really nice if he ever missed 

[Jjdog336969]

Keep them kicking field goals and we need to keep putting up 7's

[Solid84]

It was by Paye bullrushing the OT back into Stroud.

[richard pallo]

Texans throwing a lot.  Hopefully a turnover next time.

Spags has Chris Jones and still blitzes. Even Freeney and Mathis were negated by Brady. Going away from JUST rushing 4 with an occasional blitz isn’t a bad thing.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be every other play, but at least keep their Oline guessing.
