Running Taylor up the middle when they stacked the box on the goal line was a terrible play

Part of it was. 11 fumbles, seriously a amazing amount.
Peyton had 8 his whole career.
Sam played better than Ryan did in maybe any game. Except one and it's close.
Ryan would have got sacked 10 times.
It was still our horrible o-line though. Ryan would have probably played great with a line and running game. I like Ryan, thought it was a good move.
17 lost fumbles.
Maybe they said/meant lost fumbles in Indy alone, but that was 7.
It's hard to hold 1 fumble against Ehlinger in his first start, and in a game that Taylor also fumbled. Obviously, it's not a bright spot for him, but he played well, fumble or not. He played even better, even with the fumble, in the context of his first NFL game (that counted).
And, assuming the progression continues, he gives the offense another dimension and should simplify some things for the O-line.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

That stat mention was weird, and wrong... Manning had 75 fumbles total. 18 of those in Denver.
17 lost fumbles.

Amazing how many things the announcers get wrong. They said Colts 1st first down when they had already got one or two. They Usually get lots of things wrong in games. Sometimes it seems they just make **** up.
Yes. Sam played great considering 1st game and our O-Line.

That sounded kinda impossible. The announcer said that, I thought they had the correct stats right in front of them. Figured they had researched it before the game to bring it up. That many for Peyton in Denver is Ryan like in Indy. How did Peyton have 7 in Indy and 18 in Denver and total 75? Did he play on another team we don't know about.

That JT fumble after the beautiful Ehlinger to Pierce connection was absolutely brutal. Still should have won the game though.
No one is ever completely in synch on offense. Always some costly mistake.
Definitely intrigued by Ehlinger.
That we lost our first NFC East game against by far the weakest NFC East team. Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys all left. Yikes….Comment

Doyle, talking about Ehlinger...
He looked like he belonged here. Has the Colts’ four-year search for Andrew Luck’s long-term replacement, after swings and misses with Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan, finally ended with Sam Ehlinger? Seems like a big deal, if so.
Why mourn an October loss to Washington in a season going nowhere? The Colts may have found their QB in Sam Ehlinger. That's the story from this game.
I wasn't able to watch the game. I'm probably not intrigued enough to go back and watch my recording. But that could at least make the rest of the year interesting.You're caught up in the Internet / you think it's such a great asset / but you're wrong, wrong, wrong

I said they should've stuck with Sam instead of going after Matt Ryan.. if he turns out to be the guy(at least for a while) this makes the Colts look even worse.Comment

it's a shame Covid rules changed last season or else Sam would've been the QB for the LV Raiders game and maybe that forced look could've changed a lot of things.Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

If Ehlinger is the guy, I don’t think the Colts will look too bad for pulling the plug on Ryan relatively early in the season. Instead it will look like a pretty good move.
The problem is that we will likely have to evaluate him well beyond the W-L column. Tons of tough games on the horizon. When you look at the schedule, the Washington game was one that we just had to have. Could have won it by multiple scores without some brutal mistakes, but we made the mistakes and lost it. That is what is so frustrating about this team in recent years. It’s not like they’re just flat out bad and get whipped every game. Instead, they have a knack for snagging defeat from the jaws of victory.
Even in the 11-5 year with Rivers, there were multiple opportunities to take that season to an elite level, but we just routinely blew it.Last edited by Sollozzo; 10-31-2022, 10:57 PM.Comment

Well, they got rid of the Offensive coordinator. It's 'something' I guess ?? And of course - with the typical canned response to the mediots . . . .

The Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday announced they have fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady.
"This was an incredibly hard decision, but one I felt needed to be made in the best interest of the team," Colts head coach Frank Reich said in a statement. "I appreciate Marcus's commitment to the organization, and he made a significant contribution to our offensive success over the last five seasons. I wish him the best moving forward."Last edited by PacerDude; 11-01-2022, 11:08 AM.Comment
