Colts 2021 Season thread

Blankenship missed that kick in the Buffalo playoff game last year which was brutal and played a part in us losing.

Our kicking game has been unreliable since Vinny got old.

They will probably March it down for a TD here.

[Sollozzo]

Only hope here is a fluke turnover. Otherwise there is zero doubt they are getting a TD.

Geez, I mean they catch the ball underneath and there is nobody with in 10 yards.

Reich should have called a timeout a while ago. Too late now. This is as over as it gets.

Reich has good schemes but his in-game coaching decisions are highly questionable.

Terrible terrible terrible loss. We were in the driver’s seat on the road against one of the best teams of the last couple years. This would have really turned our season around. Instead, we are a terrible 1-4.

luckily i dont really care about nfl...tho not like pacers are gonna be great fun this year either

[Sollozzo]

The second we missed that extra point, it was a given that Reich would dial up a failed 2 point conversion the next go around.

I don't remember ever being this mad as a Colts fan.

We just gave up 300 passing yds and 4 tds in one half... On 90% completion... On primarily long throws... while may I add, dropped back in an ALL OUT PASS PREVENT.

Watching recap now. No challenging their receivers. Guys statues in zone coverage. Basically just being cones. One corner falls down. The above stat is shocking bc you couldn't get much better stats than that if you literally played against 7 trees. They did nothing, NOTHING, that even challenged Jackson's passes the entire second half.

I feel like the entire coaching and strategy for this team just got exposed. This is Frank's creation, the defensive identity he wanted, and IT IS A MASSIVE FAILURE.

It's not fixable so long as it's the scheme he wishes his coordinaters to implement. It's not personnel, it's not in game decisions, it's a defensive approach that fails miserably. It's in the philosophy, and trying to pull off a cover zone D without any of the necessary parts. We cannot exert any defense against a strong passing attack. Fire the coaches, redesign the entire scheme, this pollyanna zone no balls passive pass defense is inexcusable & it's time to say goodbye to the man overseeing it all. Kill it more before we waste any more of these guys best years playing duck-and-hide defense.

Dude.

In game coaching decisions don't have your guys playing soft zone 10 yds off the receivers. That is 100% scheme. That's what scheme IS.

I was thinking more about his offensive scheme since he is so involved with that (like last night he called a good offensive game), but you’re right.....the defense at the end was beyond abysmal. As the head coach, that falls on him.

Just a terrible terrible terrible loss.

Wentz made a lot of good throws and some of our WR’s showed promise. But 1-4 is 1-4. Awful.

Fairly aggressive offense and some of the most passive pass defense in the league

[PacerDude]

Gruden is available. Just sayin' . . . . .

“Yeah, not a fun loss. I talked to everyone after the game and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got to have a killer instinct at the end of the day. And that goes for me and goes for all of us. We’ve got to be able to finish games and put teams away when we’ve got them on the ropes like that,'” Wentz said Monday night following the game. “And, man, that’s a good football team and a hostile environment for us to come out swinging the way we did. We just can’t let up, we can’t let up, and we’ve got to finish the game.”

What a heart breaker...would've been a big win, except the biggest choke job since the Falcons in the super bowl

[graphic-er]

Colts actually played their best game offensively so far, and they pounded the ball with out Nelson and Smith on the O-line. They got alot of money invested in the O-line and none of that money was even on the field yesterday. Yet the line has been terrible when those 2 were on the field?
