31-17 Jags.

I’ll be more surprised if they win in Jacksonville than I was when they won in Baltimore.

The Colts don’t win in Jacksonville.

[Dam8610]

The Colts don’t win in Jacksonville.

The Colts' most recent loss in Jacksonville brought the franchise's record in Jacksonville under .500 at 11-12. Prior to the current 8 game losing streak in Jacksonville, the Colts were 11-4 in Jacksonville.

The White Sox went 88 years without winning the World Series, and then beat the Astros in 2005 Fall Classic.

It's possible that the Colts could break an 8-game losing streak in northeastern Florida this afternoon.

[Oldcolt]

Not positive we win but Steichen isn't Pagano or Reich so I feel totally different about this game. Steichen's teams don't fold and he has the ability (hold it)to actually think during the game and make changes to the game plan that actually make sense and work.This team is turning out to be the team I thought we had last year-I don't trust our WR corp like some of you but otherwise am very please. AR not being here is a bummer but he will be back next year with a vengeance (I have thought since his injury he was headed to surgery-still think so)

[CletusPyle]

Colts 27
Jags 24

Colts get a rare win in Faguar country!

[Oldcolt]

Would like to see JT set himself up for a hold out in a few years. By that I mean getting him involved more in the pass game, start to split him out occasionally, use Moss and JT at the same time. Move him more into a McCaffrey type role. It seems to me to be a win/win if JT can pull it off. Puts him in a place (if he can be a threat receiving) where he is way more valuable to the Colts both monetarily and on the field. We have so few actual players that can stretch the field using the ones we have more makes sense to me. Let him become so valuable he deserves more money and give it to him.

[TheMugwump]

Pittman and Downs are both better than average. The other WR may as well be non-existent. MAC or Ogletree could possibly make some noise, but Granson/Gransen, or whatever his name is, seems to be a drop machine.

I agree about getting JT more involved in the passing game. Uncle Rico may be the dude to do it with too.

[Thorgrim]

27-17 colts

Colts break a couple big runs and we get a game changing play from the d or special teams.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

With Braden Smith out with a hip injury, we'll see another iteration of the OL today.

Looks like it will be:

Raimann - Nelson - Kelly - Fries - Freeland



Colts Inactives for today:

DT Adetomiwa Adebawore
G Ike Boettger
CB Tony Brown
DE Isaiah Land
RT Braden Smith


Jaguars Inactives for today:

LB Yasir Abdullah
RB JaMycal Hasty
WR Zay Jones
LG Walker Little

I’m not too worried about Smith being out. He’s been a weaker link on this oline for awhile now and Freeland held his own, I can’t imagine it’s anything but a small drop off, if any. Out of all on this line Smith stands the best chance of getting demoted.

Jags LG that is out sounds like a lame ass country singer.

Don't forget Minshew probably really wants this one against his former team.

Jax coming of huge win vs Buf and lots of travel.

Colts get the win here.

[BCN#1]

Happy to see the Tits get spanked in London by the Ratbirds.... WooHoo! We gotta win today for sure to take/keep the AFC South lead.

[ChaosTheory]

They're going to focus on Freeland.

And I hope Minshew and the WRs have worked on ID'ing the hots when the Jags overload/Nickel blitz.

[CletusPyle]

Cheerleaders will be happy to hear....Mo Cox is ready to go!

[IndyNorm]

Hate to say it, but I think the streak continues: 31-20 Jagoff :cool:

[CletusPyle]

Getting Pierce involved underneath....I like it!

[CletusPyle]

Moss has great instincts! Thanks Buffalo!

[Spike]

Nice Moss and Minshew.

Riverboat Steichen

Chewed clock and took the easy 3. Stay solid!

[HoosierinFL]

I hate announcers who try that jinxy shit, calling out kicker streaks right before the try.

[Spike]

What a fucking difference Steichen makes compared to Reich.

Absolute steal for the Colts.

[CletusPyle]

Love seeing Anthony at the game and engaged!

[Racehorse]

That was a nice long opening drive. Hoping for a short defensive series with no score.

[Racehorse]

Missed a hold on 4th down

[CletusPyle]

Come on D, let's get a stop!

[Chromeburn]

Jags hold so damn much

[CletusPyle]

Jags hold so damn much

Yeah, I saw that too!:mad:

[ChoppedWood]

C'mon fuck, just giving them 1st downs!

[ChaosTheory]

You gotta be shitting me. What's the fucking rule?

[CletusPyle]

We won the 1st quarter......:D

[ChaosTheory]

Buckner penalty was not the same as Dayo's. Buck's was a trash call.

[nate505]

Well hopefully the Colts defense stiffens up as the game goes on and the offense gets a little better.

[WaynesWorld87]

Defense was a trainwreck that drive.

[ChoppedWood]

Man, Leonard's whiff on the TE- on that replay, that's a shell of a dude. Back in the day he engulfs that guy and tries to strip the ball on the way out, there he barely offered a shoulder in objection. Wow, dude looks like he is done for.

[CletusPyle]

I hate that Doug Pederson is such a damn good coach!

[bigalbert]

Come on how many fucking years is it gonna take to stop the rush in Jacksonville

I hope he improves as the season goes on, but for now it feels like more hope than confidence.

[nate505]

Fuck.....damnit.

[YDFL Commish]

Why the fuck can't this defense show up early in games? I hate Bradley's rotation too. Speed comes off the field on 3rd and 1 for Baylor Jones and Buckner comes off after the offsides. Fuckin' stupid!

[ChoppedWood]

Oh boy....

[Racehorse]

well, that sucks

[nate505]

I like Rainman, but he just flat out got whipped there.

And now Etienne is ripping up the Colts.

[CletusPyle]

Pathetic!

[Butter]

It is going to be a long day

[YDFL Commish]

No effort from the defense. Somebody needs to kick someone ass!

[CletusPyle]

This team just seems to have our number!

[Chromeburn]

Was looking for the deep pass

[Racehorse]

It is going to be a long day

Last time I said that in a game thread, we turned it around and won. I am hoping for a repeat performance.

[ChaosTheory]

Are these on tape delay. How do you focus that much on Raimann-Allen... And then that immediately happens?

[HoosierinFL]

Defense looks a bit clueless out there today

Maybe it’s fixed/scripted

[WaynesWorld87]

Well, this may be the one. This may be the game we get "put in our place" and are snapped into the reality that our pre-season expectations by most pundits were not far-off, and we are, in fact, a mediocre to bad team.

And yes, even if the above is true, the Jags are also a really good team whose starting to hit their stride. Can't explain how the Texans beat them so handily in Jacksonville. That one was a bit bizarre. I know the Texans are better than thought, but that one still miffs me.

[ChaosTheory]

Maybe it’s fixed/scripted

I used the last of my tin foil on ribs yesterday.

[nate505]

Look at these idiots doing the turnover celebration when it was obviously a free play.

[nate505]

Damn, that first drive seems like an eternity ago.

[Chromeburn]

Minshew looks tight

[YDFL Commish]

Did we come to drink the koolade?

[Spike]

Is it just me, or are all announcers just so fucking stupid and annoying?

[nate505]

That looked like a catch, glad they didn't challenge. On the plus side, it forced the Jags to run a lousy play to avoid the review.

[ChaosTheory]

They had three of those last time.

[DragonTails]

When was the last time anyone on the colts dline batted a ball down?

Never?

[CletusPyle]

Got to get our TEs involved, and stretch out this defense a little, if we can get Minshew some time!

[ChoppedWood]

Alec Pierce is really not good at football.

Sadly they represent about 90% of the human race.

[CletusPyle]

I think we should have challenged that.....

[YDFL Commish]

I don't think Sanchez can punt anymore

[ChaosTheory]

16 passes, 5 rushes

[CletusPyle]

Grounding fuckers!

[ChoppedWood]

Big Buck!

[Chromeburn]

Been fighting the refs all year

[YDFL Commish]

Buck dominates!

[ChaosTheory]

D line on that drive.

O line and RBs need to get going this coming drive.

[nate505]

Thankfully it didn't matter, but that sure looked like grounding.

It seems the refs are blind when the Jags have the ball.

[ChoppedWood]

Who posted in the pre-game that they wanted to see passing routes for JT? Old colt?

Good fucking call!

[nate505]

All right, big play by Taylor!

[ChoppedWood]

Damnit Minshew! Damnit!

[nate505]

Damn, horrible pass by Minshew. He is super lucky that wasn't a pick. Super lucky.

[CletusPyle]

Minshew's worst game!

[nate505]

And he follows it up with an even worse pass. Fuck.

Again with the announcers calling the outcome before the snap

[CletusPyle]

It looks like the Jags have 15 guys out there on defense....if they are going to drop all those guys in coverage we need to run the ball!

[ChaosTheory]

7 rushes by our RBs.

[Butter]

I mean we only have one of the top paid RBs in the league and his back up who has what the 3rd most yards on the season while missing a game

[CletusPyle]

This game couldn't be going any better for the Jags...moving it into scoring position and will receive the second half kickoff!

[nate505]

So far the defense hasn't been great but it hasn't been totally putrid.

The offense, minus the first drive, has. Sigh.

Sack fumble 1 play after a huge TD drive... then not ready for a Wildcat play... then you're moving and turn it over in scoring range...

Puts you in a shitty spot.

[CletusPyle]

Can somebody call up a turnover please....maybe these announcers can call up one for the Colts?

[ChaosTheory]

Easily could be a lot worse.

[ChoppedWood]

What in the FUCK was Brents doing just watching Kirk go behind him? WTF?

The Colts were down by a score of 21-3 in the 2006 AFC Championship game late in the 2nd quarter. The Colts added a field goal in the final seconds of the quarter to make it 21-6 at halftime, and then won the game in the 2nd half with a historic comeback ...... unfortunately for the 2023 Colts, Peyton Manning is not taking snaps behind center.

OK, that field goal by the Colts sets things up mathematically identical to that game 17 years-ago, at 21-6 ...... now all the Colts have to do is outscore the Jaguars by a count of 32-14 in the second half to repeat what Manning and company did back then.

That's making 2 very big assumptions.


A) ) The Colts' defense will necessarily keep the Jaguars from scoring the rest of the game.

B) ) The Colts will necessarily make a 2-point conversion if they try one after a touchdown.


You can argue that kicking the field goal was the right decision, but I don't think that it was a no-brainer when taking into consideration how crappy the Colts have played on both sides of the ball today.

o

I mean, they were down 13-31, which is 18 points. It's impossible to get more than 16 points on two possessions. A FG was definitely needed there. I don't think it's that debatable.

Would the Colts hold them scoreless and can they make a 2 point conversion? Probably not, but at the same time on that play you cut the number of possessions to two.

It's all a moot point though.

I agree with that general sentiment, that he needs to have a mind of his own, and to have mental toughness to make it in this league ...... but right this minute he is 22 years-old and likely going to miss the rest of the season with his injury. Other players in his situation (and at his age) have done things far more foolish than listening to the critics of their play. It would be naive to think that he has no secret feelings of relief watching Minshew play badly today.

If they were down by 11, and a field goal cut it to 8, then I would agree. But being down by 18 points, I don't think that the field-goal is a no-brainer, for the reasons that I stated. It's just too large of a deficit to presume that everything would work out in their favor with the defense, which it didn't.

I would give the same grade to the Colts for their 37-20 loss to the Jaguars.
