2024: Game #8, Colts @ Texans, October 27, 2024, 1 PM ET

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Good job D making Stroud rush his passes 

[Smoke317]

Shane & Reggie gotta free AD.  Nobody else can get open on their own besides Downs. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Stroud is definitely scared now... But he only gets a 3 min break in real time before we give it back

[IndyEV]

AR trying to to play like Steamin Willie Beamen!

Why does pittman run a deep routes and not look for the ball ?

 

Was he a decoy ?

Agreed. AR darn near hit him in the head with the ball and he never looked for it. 

[Dobbinblitz]

Really need to flip the field position now.

I am so happy people are seeing what I’ve been saying all year.  Shane is turning into Frank Reich 2.0 lol

Been thinking this since last year. Got raked through the coals for it, yet here we are. The “QB whisperer” not looking the part. Hopefully he turns it around.

[ColtStrong2013]

Prime chance to have a lead with the ball out of half. Make something happen here. 

[SR711]

At the risk of jinxing them, I will give the Colts D and Bradley credit.  They have done a significantly better job with Stroud, Mixon and Texans offense compared to week 1

[JediXMan]

EJ Speed almost gave up a flag smacking Mixion in the face.

[chad72]

Josh Downs open man

[Chrisaaron1023]

My lord.

[Colts1324]

The Colts defense is holding their own. I’ll give them that. 

Offense just runs that same run play & rarely runs the option of it. Said it for years. Give Taylor some runs out of the singleback

Even with Minshew we didn’t launch it this much.  I’m happy with the development of ar so far.  I am unhappy with the playcalling.  It’s absurd and shocking how much he’s regressed since last year

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Not using AR legs to hell Taylor is mal practice. This is embarrassing from Steichen 

[azcolt]

No touch

[Nancy]

I mean, wow, both teams are sort of both bad today!  What is wrong, AR just can't figure out what to do with the ball!  Isn't the coach telling him?  I think I'd rather see him run with the ball and get a first down.  He's so off in the direction of his throws........and Hello!  Why not use JT?? Uhhhhhhhhhh! 😨🙈

[chad72]

AR has to hit the simple ones 

[coltsin06]

Please put Flacco in. He gives us the best chance to win.

[coming on strong]

just put in flacco this is a game for first place

[compuls1v3]

We need first Downs.

[JMichael557]

Can we quit throwing long. 

[EasyE]

I get mad about the fundamental tackling the D performs. You don't always have to try and strip the ball. Just make the damn tackle.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

So Steichen only has two plays in his play book. Throw deep and run up the gut. This is awful 

[Chrisaaron1023]

We continue to have doo doo Field position

The game is not showing by me. I know you are at the stafium. Who is impressing you?

[richard pallo]

We could win this with Flacco.  But we’re rolling with AR.

This is not  on AR

[chad72]

Speed is playing better than Franklin

[coming on strong]

every play call is a 15 yard pass ....   we got a raw young QB  what is shane doing ?    he is terrible

[indyagent17]

This is pathetic on the offense. They keep trying to go deep resulting in third and longs and they cannot convert. What happened to screens and short passing

100% what a joke. Get the first downs for gods sake

[smittywerb]

AR has to hit that slant.  

[stitches]

This offense feels so out of rhythm... 

[azcolt]

AR can throw hard, harder and hardest no matter the depth of the routes.

[JediXMan]

Wasting a great D performance.

[ADnum1]

AR has to put some air on the ball and let AD go get it.

 

Everything is a line drive

[bestQBever]

At this point, lets just do more designed runs for AR. If he gets hurt oh well, at least we have a backup that can complete passes

[smittywerb]

right, AR has thrown maybe 2 bad balls so far.  Everything else has been heavily defended or just receivers not catching it

[Chrisaaron1023]

Dalton Shultz is the only one who showed up today
