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

[IndyEV]

Bout to be a tie ballgame

[Chrisaaron1023]

Having the lead was fun lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Allowing way to much room again for WR

[CardiacColts]

Let’s go O!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was a poor drive 

[JMichael557]

Terrible defense. What were we doing on third and 11th?

[chad72]

Mixon is the guy we need to stop. Said it before the game, still holds true 

[IndyEV]

D didnt even try on that possession

[JediXMan]

How to attack this Colts D TE+ RB Screens.

[TigerColt]

Franklin takes a bad angle… again gives up a TD. SMH

[Derakynn]

Jesus Christ that was a pathetic drive

Playing classic Gus D

 

This is what is holding this team back, an inability to get stops to keep momentum in our favor 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts had them twice on 3rd and long. Very poor defensive drive

Was that the slant pass Stroud completed?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Can't give up 3rd 11's. We do it a lot though for some reason.

[AKB]

44 looked tired 

[Turftoe]

Kind of typical Colts 'D'..

[ColtStrong2013]

Time of possession is an issue yet again. We need a long drive here. This is setting up to being a very similar game as the opener. The longer this defense has to be out there, the more effective Mixon is going to be down the stretch.

[Smoke317]

Zaire has been playing awful this year. He’s still giving up the cut back lane at will. 

[AKB]

we need to start pulling Zaire on some of these 3rd downs

Saw a bunch of half-* attempts on that drive! Are they trying to shave points or something?

I've been tired of 44...

[Rolltide_gocolts]

No one should have a free release when you sending the house on a blitz

[Moosejawcolt]

Why is it that the D plays well and this  seems to happen all the time. The offence makes a big play and the opposing offence marches right down the field to score. It is so typical.

He is just not that good 

[Scott Pennock]

Two plays in a row number 44 not wanting any part of Joe Mixon…..

That’s because when the opponent offense takes it up a notch, the Colts D and Gus fold like a lawn chair 

 

Has been true since the Matt Ryan year

Well teams are going to score. Yes it looked bad but it happens 

[HOZER]

Pathetic tackling my goodness

[husker61]

I have been saying for a long time the colts lb’s are not good.

U finally come to that conclusion? Everyone fell in the love with him because of all the high tackle numbers. He is undersized and cannot coverage.  Another great 2nd contract

[JediXMan]

Their Backup G looked better but he's injured.

I agree with you 100%. Linebacker is definitely a position I would like to see some upgrades at. We can draft some solid talent in the third or fourth.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Man... This is a slow moving game..

I noticed the same. A lot of jogging and no urgency. If he can't give a solid effort, maybe we need to sub in Olubi.

Have to play complimentary football. Double positives. Take the ball away or get a stop, score a touchdown. Score a touchdown, take the ball away/get a stop. 

[stitches]

Noone can convince me that this is a well coached defense. This is preposterous tackling and coverage... :\

I agre but this is a trend with them. They play well on D and they seem to fold in these situations. Like they tighten up

[HungarianColtsFan]

Another stupid penalty
