I was thinking earlier that football is not good for my health.

Even crappy pizza is still delicious. The Colts defense is just painful

Funny way to end the day

[Dobbinblitz]

ALWAYS- good to be taking a knee to end an NFL game. They are all hard.

[nyyankeechris]

I like their garlic butter sauce they put on their pizza. Yummmmm.

 

Oh yeah....and Fire Bradley!!!

[Patrick Miller]

Ugly but I’ll take it

[chickenMan]

A win is a win! Thank goodness. On to next week

[Patrick Miller]

Isn’t this AR’s first win that he’s made it all the way through the game anyway?

[smittywerb]

Hopefully Shane watches the tape and sees how his playcalling affected the game.  Other than that, a win is a win

[SwedishColt]

Im really happy about the win! The season is still a go!

 

We have a saying here in Sweden that fits perfectly for a situation just like this.

 

"The corpse lives!"

[Douzer]

Steps!

[NFLfan]

Colts win. Texans and Titans lose.

 

The Vikings beat the Texans 34-7. @MB-ColtsFan  you gave us luck.

We won thanks to the defense. AR can’t throw and it’s been 3 weeks. People keep using the excuse he missed last season and the youngest QB in the league. Blah blah blah! Should be sitting and working. Done with the excuses and not trying to hear them.

Yep. Just got a hope The Colts lean on Taylor and that Richardson somehow magically becomes more accurate.

…and learns some “football IQ”.  When to throw it away, when to slide/go oob and when not to throw to the opposite team.  😀

I don’t think sitting a QB who needs to actually practice throwing helps…

He should’ve been given the Mahomes treatment last season.

I agree.   AR looked like crap again today.   I'm sure Flacco could have done better.  I'm fine with giving AR this season and accepting that we will not be in the hunt for the playoffs.

The defense has played pretty well, tbh.

Until they gave up 400 yards to a pee wee offense...

He wont learn from sitting that would get us nowhere...

Not for nothing but he was drafted knowing he was a project...

He has been calling bad games yes but im not gonna defend thosr bad int's there were horrible passes and the one in the endzone was a terrible decision.

I agree, but as the coach and primary playcaller you also have to know what you have.  The best coaches understand the strengths and weaknesses of their qb and tailor their game plan to make their qb shine.  Making AR throw on a goal line situation when you have JT and AR himself as a runner is head scratching to me.  Not absolving AR of any wrongdoing, but it’s more complicated than “AR can’t throw”.  I see a lot of AR bashing and not enough Shane playcalling criticism.  And both are equally the problem.

Good grief, our D had 3 takeaways, 3 sacks, held them to below average rushing yards.
