The official colts vs worst franchise in Florida game day thread

[omahacolt]

Have at it ladies

[Racehorse]

31-3, Colts

C- on the thread title

[Puck]

D- on the thread title. you forgot the *** and a few more capital letters would have helped. Do better next time

[Puck]

38-16 Colts

[albany ed]

No turnovers and we win. J. Taylor, no fumbles please.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

No major surprises with the Colts inactives:

• QB Jacob Eason
• S Julian Blackmon
• DT Eli Ankou
• WR Dezmon Patmon
• TE Noah Togiai

[Puck]

What I am most excited to see today in order:

1. Dline. This is the unit that is going to make us great. The addition of Bucker to FINALLY have a real stud at the most important position on this kind of D (IMO)

2. Nahiem Hines. this kid is going to eat up defenses this yr

3. Hooker. I think he is going to have a great season

4 Taylor. With this combo of Mack and Taylor (and Himes). This will be the best RB group in the NFL and I can see some record rushing yards being put up behind this Oline.

5. Rivers. Always hated the guy, but the more I read the more I like him. He is a really smart enthusiastic guy. I'd love nothing more than to see him get a Lombardi here.

6. Paris Campbell. If he stays healthy he is going to add a lot of fire power to this offense. Really rooting for this kid

7. TY HILTON!!! He finally gets healthy and has a competent QB once again

8. The oline to once again be healthy and dominate

[apballin]

31-13 Colts

Big days for Taylor, mack and Allie-cox

[Puck]

Also going on record right now I hate Cam Newton more than I hate Brady

Hope he gets crushed today

[Puck]

Only surprise to me is Patmon. I guess not really a surprise. Was hoping we'd get to see him on a play or two. Heard he's been doing well

Hope he gets crushed today

Why?

[Puck]

Why?

Because he thinks he's better than he is. He is not that good

[Puck]

Only Frank kneeling. Hmm

[Thorgrim]

Colts 29-17

[JAFF]

Only Frank kneeling. Hmm

He took one for the team. Donnie wants to take a shot the team minister will deal with it

[Spike]

Wow, that was easy. Damn nice drive by the Colts.

[Puck]

21 is a beast

[Puck]

Himes already exceeded his point projections in fantasy

[Racehorse]

Himes already exceeded his point projections in fantasy

Also exceeded humps in his last name

We have not been able to stop the run historically. I thought it would be different this year.

[smitty46953]

Only thing stopped Jags running was a penalty. Need improve

[nate505]

Great stuff so far. I know it's tempered being against the Jags, but still.

[nate505]

I love going for it on 4th there, even though they didn't make it. If it were later in the game perhaps not.

[Puck]

Agreed but would have rather seen Mack or Taylor on that run.

[Kray007]

Why Hines on 4th down?

[Flexo]

Agreed but would have rather seen Mack or Taylor on that run.

Yeah why run Hines up the middle?

[Puck]

Yeah why run Hines up the middle?

Frank was just checking to see if Jagggoffs are truly in tank mode

[nate505]

That's a fine hit. If he wants to be a runner, that can happen.

[Puck]

Man!!! Taylor had some yards open!!!

[nate505]

Ugh, there's the bad Rivers

[Puck]

Run the damn ball

[TheMugwump]

I don't have the game on TV or radio, so I'm following gamecast on ESPN. Why the delay? Is Minshew hurt?

[nate505]

No delay here

[HoosierinFL]

I thought he said he wouldn’t do that anymore.

Also let’s try stopping the run

[Flexo]

Garbage.

[JAFF]

This is why you kick the fg.

[Brylok]

Took forever to find a stream

[albany ed]

I only have it on radio, but it sounds like some pretty shoddy defense.

[Chromeburn]

Took forever to find a stream

Where did you go?

[Puck]

Took forever to find a stream

I have an app for that

[HoosierinFL]

Can’t give up FG for a weak run up the middle and then have turnovers to give them field position. Need to be smarter all around.

defense needs to get their shit together

[Brylok]

Where did you go?

Next play. Look waht happens when your not stupid

[HoosierinFL]

Seriously I just posted we need to be smarter than this. We don’t need gimmicky shit to beat the jags

[JAFF]

To the head coach,

Please stop making it harder. Think less, do more

[Chromeburn]

IT's funny, we are suddenly running screens well. Just needed a QB good at running them

[HoosierinFL]

Also, it’s week 1 with no preseason, keep the playbook simple. Save that shit for later once the team has more game time snaps under their belt.
The defense looks vaguely lost, the offense had to help them by playing smart and that includes the playcalling

[nate505]

Getting carved up by the Jags isn't an encouraging sign.

[Butter]

The D looks like hot garbage

[Brylok]

I kinda hate our division. Sick of seeing the likes of Jacksonville, Titans, and Houston. Hate the Jax stadium.

[JAFF]

Looking at the shot of the Jags stadium, its not that different from last year. Must have paid people to show up

[Flexo]

Looks like w're gonna have to win by 45-35 again, just like the good old days.

[Colt Classic]

Anyone on defense feel like making an impact today?

[Brylok]

Looks like w're gonna have to win by 45-35 again, just like the good old days.

Not sure they have 45 in them today.

[Colt Classic]

I hope when someone does finally make a play, they run 70 yards down the field for a team picture.

[Brylok]

I did NOT miss the commercials. Just stuffing them in today.

[Puck]

Don't force it Phil

[Colt Classic]

Holy shit Hines. Dumbass.

[nate505]

Hines you idiot, get out of bounds

[Colt Classic]

This last second time out stuff is so lame. Ask the coach if he wants a TO, blow the whistle to start the play if he says no, then play the damn down.

[nate505]

I hate when jackass head coaches go the timeout thing on a FG.

[Kray007]

Why Hines instead of Taylor?

[Thorgrim]

When they realigned the divisions we got screwed.

Taylor doesn't know the blitz pick up schemes/his duties for anything beyond running?

[Colt Classic]

When they realigned the divisions we got screwed.

I remember an alternative was putting the Colts in what is now the AFC North.

[Brylok]

Why Hines instead of Taylor?

Any signs of Taylor, Pittman Jr, or P. Campbell today? I missed most of the first quarter. Where are those guys?

[smitty46953]

First half analysis, Frank Reich needs pull head out of ass, quit trying get cute and play football. Defense not what I hoped to see against this Jags team. :cool:

Campbell had a few nice routes ran across the field for decent gains.

Yep. He's going to be an asset if he can stay on the field

[Puck]

And run the damn ball!!!

[Colt Classic]

Cowher banging the drum for no preseason saying the play has been impeccable. The defenses in this game are both garbage and a step slow to react. This is far from impeccable, but of course he has been ordered to say "nothing to see here, all is great!". If compared to the other sports being played after the layoff, it's clearly behind the level of play in the hockey playoffs.

Mack is out. Stop the presses.

[Brylok]

When they realigned the divisions we got screwed.

AFC south was for showcasing Peyton Manning to a southern audience and we had good success for years and years. It's just stale to me nowdays I guess. Especially JAX

[omahacolt]

This defense is an issue

[Puck]

This defense is an issue

Lets see if they can make adjustments

[Puck]

Of course your out Mack. Of course you are

[Puck]

Lets see if they can make adjustments

maybe??

[HoosierinFL]

Well that was better. Let’s see if they keep it up.

[Colt Classic]

AFC south was for showcasing Peyton Manning to a southern audience and we had good success for years and years. It's just stale to me nowdays I guess. Especially JAX

They should realign the southern teams to mirror the SEC rivalries that already exist. The NFC West mirrors the PAC-12 teams and rivalries in the NFL seem to have developed, possibly from that familiarity by the fans of already rooting against certain areas.

[nate505]

What a ballsy 4th down call. Wow.

[Puck]

MO!!!!

[nate505]

What the fuck is with these illegal formations

[Racehorse]

Miami is South. Baltimore is East. We are North.

[Colt Classic]

I expect that from a Georgia kicker.

[nate505]

Well .. Fuck, it's AV part 2.

[albany ed]

Vinitari would have made that.

[WaynesWorld87]

And after all that, we end up doinking a chip-shot filed goal. For fuck's sake.

[JAFF]

Playing down to the competition

[Butter]

Vinitari would have made that.

Last year called and said maybe, maybe not.

[HoosierinFL]

Vinitari would have made that.

McLoughlin probably would have made that, ballsy move to go with this kid over the guy who made kicks last year

[Brylok]

Vinitari would have made that.

Heck, you might have made that!

Well done Rock. Too bad the game is tied though.

Nice to see we have plenty of guys who keep it real on the team.

[nate505]

Campbell you idiot.

[Brylok]

Is it just me or does Taylor look a bit slow?

[HoosierinFL]

Campbell think he’s on the jags? That’s the kind of bush league jag penalty that has cost them plenty of games over the years

[Puck]

Is it just me or does Taylor look a bit slow?

I don't think so. Maybe very cautious.

[Brylok]

Rivers arm looks weak.

[Spike]

Damn, Rivers picked off again. He pissed me off when he was with the Chargers and now he is pissing me off while he is on the Colts. Well, the penalty saved us.

[Brylok]

Spoke too soon. Smh

[Spike]

Nice catch and run by Taylor. He looked damn fast there.

[nate505]

Get Taylor in open space. Good things happen.

[Colt Classic]

Not a crackback block.

[nate505]

Stupid flag.

[nate505]

For a guy who can't catch out of the backfield, he's catching out of the backfield.

[Puck]

Not a crackback block.

I love to see Rivers arguing for his guy. Hated it before. love it now

[HoosierinFL]

So if I understand correctly, that block is legal as long as the defender is not engaged with another blocker? Didn’t look like he was.

[Puck]

For a guy who can't catch out of the backfield, he's catching out of the backfield.

If he holds onto the ball this kid is going to be great

[Puck]

Nice catch and run by Taylor. He looked damn fast there.

There is some serious speed with all the RBs on this team

Come on D! We really need a 3 and out

Up until that last drive, the Colts D had held Jax to under 190 yards on the day. Still just 241.

But 24 points isn't good.

[WaynesWorld87]

In the lead for the Trevor Lawrence bowl.
I just say fuck it, burn it all to the ground, fake an injury to Rivers, and shoot for 0-3 wins. Trevor Lawrence has "generational" type potential. I thought he was as "can't miss" as Luck until he had a true sophomore-slump of a season last year. Still, he's as good of a "sure-fire" #1 pick QB as we've seen in quite awhile.

[IndyNorm]

What a garbage performance :mad:. I can't believe we got our asses kicked by what talent-wise is a semi-pro team who is trying to tank for the #1 pick. Although the silver lining is we now have the inside track on Lawrence, so I guess we showed them! :rolleyes:

[Maniac]

19 of 20 passing. Incredible. Matt Eberflus’s Defense turns ordinary QB’s into the reincarnation of Dan Marino.

The Colts have been doing that for a long time now. It is pathetic that we can't get a decent secondary.

[Dam8610]

I have game pass, so after watching the game, I felt like the Colts had the makings of a blowout, but didn't convert where they needed to early to make it happen. They had the ball on the JAX 3 with a 7-0 lead in the first quarter needing 1 yard in 2 plays to get a first down, but they could not get it. Next drive, Rivers throws an INT and the Jaguars convert a short field into a 7-7 ballgame. Going forward, this team has to be better in the redzone. Too many missed opportunities down there, left at least 14 points on the field in a 7 point loss.

[JAFF]

And that Brissett play..... Good God that was awful

Fucking awful

[Chromeburn]

The Colts have been doing that for a long time now. It is pathetic that we can't get a decent secondary.

And they turn great QBs into their career days Like Drew Brees. Still waiting for this defense to show it can play with good teams.

[Flexo]

Did Deforest Buckner even do anything today? Minshew didn't seem to have much pressure up the middle.

[Colts And Orioles]

o

Perhaps today's disaster can serve as a reminder to the players that they are not as good as they thought they were ....... or perhaps they ARE that good, but they certainly can't just come in and believe that they can coast against any opponent, no matter how seemingly over-matched they appear to be.

If the Colts can rebound and win 5 out of their next 6 games, then perhaps the loss this afternoon was worth it if it winds up serving to open their damned eyes.

Granted, I wasn't fixated on the DL all the time, but the times I did take a note to pay attention it seemed like he was getting doubled a lot.

I'm far too stupid about defensive tactics to know if that means someone else on the line should have been getting better pressure, or if there was a scheme to drop someone else back in coverage and not take advantage of it. Whatever it is it didn't work.

It looked to me at times that we sent pressure to the opposite side of where they ran the ball. That set us up for failure in the passing game, too.

Perhaps today's disaster can serve as a reminder to the players that they are not as good as they thought they were ....... or perhaps they ARE that good, but they certainly can't just come in and believe that they can coast against any opponent, no matter how seemingly over-matched they appear to be.

If the Colts can rebound and win 5 out of their next 6 games, then perhaps the loss this afternoon was worth it if it winds up serving to open their damned eyes.
