***The Colts get Rammed gameday thread.***

[Spike]

Offensive line needs to get their shit together.

[WaynesWorld87]

Damn that Rams pass rush is scary. Every play feels like they are able to get pressure. Donald is one of the best players I've ever seen in how frequently he causes issues/pressure on pass plays. He's more than just an "all-timer". He's a legit transcendent defensive force.

[Spike]

If life was fair, we should be leading right now.

Wentz has handled it great ...... his avoiding sacks has been exemplary so far today.

I'm surprised the Colts aren't running some screen plays to counter that rush...that miss to Mack last drive was going to be a big gain!

[nate505]

It would be a tie game if Reich liked points.

McVey likes points, and this the Rams are up.

All true. And the plus is that this will likely be the toughest d-line they'll face all year, Fisher is only going to get better, AND Smith will hopefully be back soon.

Win or lose this week, they won't lose next week.

[Spike]

Another 3 and out by the Colts D.

[CletusPyle]

Oh yeah!

[Spike]

Awesome, TD Colts. Special Teams!!!!!

[Colts And Orioles]

If life was fair, we should be leading right now.




o

If life was fair, most people would realize that Dan Marino and Peyton Manning were both better quarterbacks than Tom Brady.

o

[Brylok]

It's like the defense literally pulled their heads outta their butts! TD!

[Racehorse]

We have the lead!!!!!

[nate505]

Momentum shift in full effect!!!!

[Luck4Reich]

Now who is getting Rammed?

Let's Go!!!!!!

[TheMugwump]

o

If life was fair, most people would realize that Dan Marino and Peyton Manning were both better quarterbacks than Tom Brady.

o

I like to think that most people outside of New England and ESPN do realize that.

[Chromeburn]

Holy Shit! The other team actually made a mistake?

[Brylok]

Momentum shift in full effect!!!!

It started when 41 got ejected. Is he that important to the Rams defense?

[nate505]

Glad Dulin was kept. He just gets special teams.

[Voosh]

I knew Dulin was going to be good :D

[Colts And Orioles]

Awesome, TD Colts. Special Teams !!!!!!

That was somewhat reminiscent of when the Colts scored a TD on a blocked punt against the Cowboys in December of 2010,

o

[TheMugwump]

If Reich takes the points on that first drive, they are up 7. If Davenport doesn't get blown up on that shuffle pass, they are up even more.

Overall, they maybe don't deserve the lead. But they have played just as well as the Rams have.

[WaynesWorld87]

Ok, for now at least, the football karma gods mostly balanced things out for us with that play. Granted, our two goal-to-go drives that ended in 0 points were our own doing with poor play calling and poor execution, and the Rams play just was a freakish fluke, but I'll take it.

[CletusPyle]

If life was fair, most people would realize that Dan Marino and Peyton Manning were both better quarterbacks than Tom Brady.

Last year's Super Bowl just proved that Bruce Arians was the best coach the Colts ever had!

[njcoltfan]

46-17 Rams !!

Maybe I was wrong!

[WaynesWorld87]

If life was fair, we should be leading right now.
That play made life a little more fair I suppose.

Some games the karma sort of finds a way to balance itself out, and other games you just keep doing stupid shit (0 points on 2 goal-to-go drives) and it snowballs into a blowout loss. We may still end up losing, but I did not expect us to be leading in the 4th after how everything played out before that Rams punt.

[Spike]

Too easy for the Rams. D really sucked on that series.

[Racehorse]

Suddenly we forget Kupp is playing.

[Luck4Reich]

Damnit Defense:rolleyes:

[CletusPyle]

Disappointing response by the defense!

[nate505]

Someone might want to cover that Cupp guy

[Brylok]

Please, for the love of God, someone cover Cooper Kupp. Smh

[WaynesWorld87]

Welp, we wasted no time in letting the Rams respond. All of that MO is just sucked up and redistributed back to the Rams just like that.

[nate505]

And not to belabor the point, but totally to belabor the point, it would be a tie game if Reich liked points.

[Luck4Reich]

Wentz is gonna bring us right back

[Spike]

Aaron Darnold and Kupp are killing us.

[Luck4Reich]

And not to belabor the point, but totally to belabor the point, it would be a tie game if Reich liked points.

Actually we'd be up 3. He left two FGs out there

[WaynesWorld87]

And not to belabor the point, but totally to belabor the point, it would be a tie game if Reich liked points.
Yep. You just never chase points in the 1st half. After getting stuffed 3-straight times on goal-to-go from the 1-yard-line, you have to be gunshy about going for it on 4th as a coach, especially against a very stout defensive line with one of the best defensive linemen ever, and just kick the FG.

[Spike]

Please, for the love of God, someone cover Cooper Kupp. Smh

Rhodes needs to get healthy and get his ass back out there.

[WaynesWorld87]

Aaron Darnold and Kupp are killing us.
True, but both are great players so it's not a surprise. One of them is the best to ever do it at his position, too.

[Puck]

Aaron Darnold and Kupp are killing us.

You spelled Ya Sin wrong

[Spike]

Gonna mute these announcers, can't take it anymore.

[njcoltfan]

Four plays and the Rams take the lead, FOUR FUCKING PLAYS !!!!!!!!!!!

[Puck]

I swear if any of you give me shit again for wanting a high draft pick used on a CB again I am gonna scream!!!!!!!

[Racehorse]

Mack gets more yards on that play against any other defense

[Spike]

Doyle wide open.

[Racehorse]

Doyle seems invisible, and then he makes a catch

[Spike]

Darnold can't do shit against Nelson. It's only when they move him around.

[Puck]

Darnold can't do shit against Nelson. It's only when they move him around.

But I promise bith players have their hands full against each other. Best matchup in football. OL/DL

[CletusPyle]

Kicker is solid as a rock!

[WaynesWorld87]

If Aaron Donald didn't exist, and was replaced by a defensive player even 80% of his abilities, we'd be winning this game.

He's a nightmare.

[Spike]

Tie ballgame. Colts have held their own against one of the elite teams in the league.

[Racehorse]

Game is tied. Who wants it more?

[njcoltfan]

Time for the defense to step up again

[Spike]

Fucking O-line got Wentz hurt. Damn it.

[Brylok]

Wentz broken?

[CletusPyle]

Eason warming up....we're screwed!:eek:

[Luck4Reich]

Interception would be nice right now

[Dewey 5]

Eason warming up....we're screwed!:eek:

Wentz looks very upset on the sideline. Not good.

[Racehorse]

Interception would be nice right now

After Wentz gets treated

[WaynesWorld87]

Tie ballgame. Colts have held their own against one of the elite teams in the league.
Yeah, far cry and huge improvement after getting shellacked by one of the elite teams in the league last week.

Still don't think we're on their level as a whole, but this week provides encouragement regardless of the outcome. We've just had the misfortune of starting the season against two top 5-7 teams, which is likely going to result in an 0-2 start.

[Chromeburn]

Kiss this game away if Eason has to come out

[Racehorse]

Kiss this game away if Eason has to come out

Immobile guy would struggle greatly today

[Thorgrim]

If Aaron Donald didn't exist, and was replaced by a defensive player even 80% of his abilities, we'd be winning this game.

He's a nightmare.

If Frank Reich didn’t exist, and was replaced by a coach with even 80% situational awareness, we’d be winning this game.

[WaynesWorld87]

How the fuck did Cupp end up being open after all of that? Where is hi man/coverage?

[Racehorse]

Tackle on that side of the down marker

[nate505]

That field goal Reich decided to not take would look real nice now

[CletusPyle]

Carson taped up...going to try to go! Need a stop or hold to a FG!

[Racehorse]

Time for the turnover

[WaynesWorld87]

Defense folding the last two drives when we needed them the most.

[Racehorse]

Big third down here

[CletusPyle]

The MANIAC!!!!!

[Brylok]

Have some of that, Kupp!

[nate505]

What a huge play by Leonard. Massive.

[Luck4Reich]

Did we just use our last timeout there?

[Dewey 5]

I think Eason is going in.

[CletusPyle]

Oh no....Eason on the field!

[Luck4Reich]

Nice Leonard!

[Racehorse]

I think Eason is going in.

Sure hope not.

[Brylok]

Looks like Eason is coming in.

[Chromeburn]

Well thats game. Donald gonna feast

[WaynesWorld87]

And this game relies on Jacob Fucking Eason against one of the best defensive fronts/pass-rushes in the NFL.

[Luck4Reich]

Need one of our RBs to break one

[Racehorse]

The Eason legacy is about to begin! LOL

[HoosierinFL]

Well it was a good fight but Eason the statue will not survive that pass rush

[Dewey 5]

Game set match

[Spike]

Ball Game! Why can't we have nice things.

[CletusPyle]

I'd like to know if Wentz wanted to try to go!

[nate505]

Eh, I have no real confidence he can pull it off.

Those 3 points world be nice now, to continue to belabor they point.

[Dewey 5]

Ball Game! Why can't we have nice things.

Because our coach hates points

[Brylok]

That was quick. Yeesh

[WaynesWorld87]

And if Wentz's ankle is bad enough he can't go back in right now, I don't see any way he plays next week.

[Racehorse]

The Eason legacy is about to begin! LOL

PaINTer 2.0

[njcoltfan]

Well, Wentz’s injury history in Indy just began!!

[HoosierinFL]

Not even gonna be mad at 4 on the field in the 1st

[TheMugwump]

No QB controversy in Indy, at least...

[Thorgrim]

I think Eason is gonna get the win and accolades

[Chromeburn]

All offseason the sportswriters were questioning whether we should bring in a more experienced backup QB. Guess we know the answer to that now. Eason was not ready to be put into this situation.

[nate505]

I detest Reich more and more after this game

[Brylok]

I think Eason is gonna get the win and accolades

You been drinking or something?

[Chromeburn]

I detest Reich more and more after this game

You mean when he could have gone for the points in the first half and we would have had a tie game at this point.

[Butter]

2 quick thoughts.
1. Closer game than I expected.
2. Silver lining we are on our way to not giving up a 1st for Wentz.

[CletusPyle]

Colts should contact the Bills and see if Trubiski is available!

[BCN#1]

Good Gawd. I was stupid enough to actually get excited thinking we were going to turn it around and pull out the win. Still hoping but Eason's INT was a kick in the groin.

[Luck4Reich]

I detest Reich more and more after this game

Yep I am with you.... That's what 9 points he threw away in 2 weeks now? Just going for it on 4th down when you know better mfer!!!!

[Racehorse]

If we make it on 4th down, you all are praising Reich. It is the nature of having balls. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.

[Luck4Reich]

Reich apparently read the Pagano book on How to waste time outs.

[Racehorse]

Reich apparently read the Pagano book on How to waste time outs.

That is more concerning to me than the 4th down misses.

[Chromeburn]

Liked that last play

[Butter]

Well that was fun at the end I guess.

[nate505]

If we make it on 4th down, you all are praising Reich. It is the nature of having balls. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.

He seems to lose a lot on them, and in general, points are a good thing in football, especially early.

[CletusPyle]

Disappointing but entertaining game...enjoyed the forum, see you guys next week!

[Spike]

And if Wentz's ankle is bad enough he can't go back in right now, I don't see any way he plays next week.

I have to look at it again, but if Wentz just went down instead of trying to make an extremely difficult play, he probably wouldn't have gotten hurt. But, he is just a damn hard competitor, hard to hate on that. If we can get Wentz healthy, this team will win the AFC South.

[Luck4Reich]

A healthy O line and an Offense and a QB with half a season under their belt then yes.. Reich is throwing away points knowing the situation is just pure damn stupid.... Imo

[Brylok]

"Wentz" is trending #4 on Twitter right now. Should be an interesting start for Hard Knocks.

[Luck4Reich]

"Wentz" is trending #4 on Twitter right now. Should be an interesting start for Hard Knocks.

People are Vultures on twitter... I'll pass. More people want to see him fail than succeed. He showed a lot of gutts and character today but most of those idiots will not see that.

[Brylok]

Colts should contact the Bills and see if Trubiski is available!

Imagine if they called the Bears for Foles. Shit would hit the fan and Hard Knocks would sell like hotcakes!

[kitekrazy]

Colts should contact the Bills and see if Trubiski is available!

This makes no sense.

[Racehorse]

Just so people know, Jacoby did not have a good day today.

[CletusPyle]

This makes no sense.

They need a backup...Wentz has never completed a season!

[Luck4Reich]

Well if the Titans lose to the Seahawks the AFC South will be 1-7 and looks to be the worst division in football:o

Reminded me a LOT of Luck in his first years. At first I thought it was because I'm used to watching statues for so long, but nope. Reminds me of Luck. Similar style.

[Racehorse]

Well if the Titans lose to the Seahawks the AFC South will be 1-7 and looks to be the worst division in football:o

Henry has three runs for one yard

[Luck4Reich]

Henry has three runs for one yard

Great.... He will probably get 300 yards rushing against the Colts next week:D

Frank Reich says QB Carson Wentz “rolled his ankle up pretty good” but doesn’t have much further in terms of specifics. Adds Wentz tried to go back in but “there was no chance.” Stiffened up pretty quickly.

https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1439693029485469703

QB Carson Wentz says he doesn’t believe he broke his ankle — thinks he sprained it. “Getting a scan as soon as I can.”


https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1439688518733901828

LG Quenton Nelson called the Colts’ offensive line play in the red zone “unacceptable” multiple times. It’s pretty clear he’s pissed. Starts up front, and they’re not winning up front.

“We will get this fixed,” he pledged.

The Colts' next 2 games are against the Titans and the Dolphins ...... beating them should not be as challenging as trying to beat Russel Wilson's Seahawks and the highly-regarded Rams.

Perhaps if Eason practices with the first team for the entire week, we can muddle through those 2 games and get a couple of W's while Wentz is healing up.

o

[Oldcolt]

We suck. It’s the offensive line. Don’t pass block worth a shit Can’t move anyone in the red zone. We’ve invested a ton of money and draft capital. They need to be dominant. They are not. Plenty of time to fix stuff but I have zero confidence in this coaching staff. Hate how they make decisions on game day, this fourth down bullshit need to stop. The entire league knows we are going for it in fourth and is completely ready for it. Ballard made his decision on Eason, now we live with it. Hope he was correct

[apballin]

Our division sucks, we gotta get everyone back- Entire Oline playing together, Rhodes needs to get back and Okereke needs to go to the Clint Sessipn school for tackling

[Chromeburn]

A sprained ankle isn’t that bad unless it’s high. But it doesn’t matter if they can’t block anyone. Our passrush is lacking besides Buckner and our pass blocking is lacking. Won’t matter who is at QB if we can’t protect him.

[Chromeburn]

I’m starting to think we didn’t improve in the off season. At best it’s a wash.

[Luck4Reich]

After seeing what the Seahawks are doing to the Titans. We already know the Rams are a top 5 team in the league. We quite possibly faced what could be the NFC title game participants.

The O line needs to heal up. The coaches need to pull their heads out of their asses.

Went back and watched that first drive again. The play calling at the goal line was atrocious. We played into the Rams strength and failed... Well shocker!

The defense needs to stop believing they are great and get out there and hustle and make plays. If we didn't have Buckner on that line we would really be in deep trouble.

I think we win the next two games.

[Luck4Reich]

I’m starting to think we didn’t improve in the off season. At best it’s a wash.

It could be Ballards worst draft... Time will tell Paye has shown some flashes outside of that not seeing anything from anyone. Strachan could be good.

We are if Wentz and Smith play. Davenport is a disaster.

Game going into overtime.

Seahawks are one stupid ass team, stopped the Tits on 3rd down, but got caught roughing the passer. So many penalties agains the dumb ass Seahawks today.
