The official Brownstains drop a deuce on the Colts gameday thread.

[Hoopsdoc]

21-6 Browns win.

That defense is legit. Minshew may be in a cast by the end of the game. That would mean *shudder* Sam Ehlinger. Yeesh.

[Hoopsdoc]

I’d like to see some life from JT and Leonard.

I want to see the run defense hold up without Grover.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Browns have played 4 good games and 1 bad game so far this season. They beat the previously undefeated 49ers last week, and they beat the Titans and the Bengals by a combined score of 51-6. They had one really bad game against the Ravens, when Deshaun Watson was not playing at quarterback (Watson is questionable for the Colts game tomorrow.) If the Browns beat the Colts in a close game, that will not necessarily be a sign that the Colts cannot compete with good teams, and/or have no chance for a post-season berth ....... this is not the necessarily the perennial doormat Cleveland Browns that the Colts will be facing on Sunday.


All of that said, I still believe that the Colts have a good chance to win the game if the offensive line does (at least) a reasonably good job of protecting Gardner Minshew.

o

[IndyNorm]

Yeah, going to be a tough one. The Brown's D has had a couple of off weeks against Pitt and Balt (although I'm guessing Jackson had a lot to do w/ the 2nd game). Doubt that happens today: 17-6 Browns.

[albany ed]

I guarantee that this Colts team will do better against the Browns than the 1964 Colts did against the Browns in the NFL championship game.

The Browns have had 2 bad games as they somehow managed to lose to the Steelers in week 2, which was in between the weeks they blew out the Bungles and Tits.

[HoosierinFL]

Who vs who now?

[apballin]

The Browns have played 1 road game amazingly and already had a bye

This is an overrated defense that has benefited from situations like Burrow not being ready and playing every dam game at home

I don’t give a fuck if Watson plays or not, Chubb has been the guy you have to worry about without him they’re not the same and much easier to defend

This will be Taylor’s breakout game

Colts win 24-17

The Steelers just beat the Ravens in their most recent game.

With wins over the Ravens AND the Browns, their grade as a team for the 2023 season is still incomplete. They have been very erratic.

[Oldcolt]

I'm not as interested in win/loss (obviously I want us to win and to never give up but we lack talent). This team is not going anywhere this year. It is about development. I'll be interested in watching to see if Leonard can start to force turnovers or if he will be cut at the end of the year, does the offensive line continue to improve especially our backups, do we actually have depth on the defensive line with Grover out and can the defensive backfield continue to grow. I am concerned about our receiver corp, no one is special in any way, but I have watched enough to believe the answer (a true number one receiver) isn't on this roster. I am thinking we may have found our slot and Pittman seems like a nice number two.

Marvin Harrison Jr?

This would be nice, but they can't win more than one more game this year if they hope to be in the running for a pick for Jr. He'll likely go top 5.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

WR Alec Pierce had been listed as QUESTIONABLE in the injury report, but he is active and will play today.


Colts Inactives:

RT Braden Smith
TE Kylen Granson
G Ike Boettger
CB Ameer Speed
DE Isaiah Land

[albany ed]

Forget about MH Jr., He'll be gone before the Colts pick. You can get a great WR without being in the top 5. Here are some of the best WRs playing right now.

Justin Jefferson
Tyreek Hill, Dolphins
Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals
Cooper Kupp, Rams
Davante Adams, Raiders

Only Chase was drafted in the top 5.

After nearly 50 years as a colts fan you'd think I'd be numb to disappointment but last Sunday was oddly disquieting. Maybe it's just because I hate those bastards in Jax but I hate games that make me think we will be discussing the merits of tanking by mid season.

Gardner Minshew will channel his inner 1968 Earl Morrall, and lead the Colts to victory this afternoon.

Considering how well the Browns' defense played against Brock Purdy and the previously-undefeated 49ers last week, I just couldn't resist predicting that Gardner Minshew and company will put up 30 points on them today.

o

The rain and wind were pretty significant last week in Cleveland, and I'm sure that had an affect on Mr. Irrelevant.

[Hoopsdoc]

Also, Bubba Ventrone is the special teams coach for Cleveland. He’s an outstanding ST coach and he’s intimately familiar with a lot of our players.

Keep an eye out for something crazy on special teams. A successful fake or a return score.

Why the heck is Adam Archuleta always assigned Colts games?

Eh, there has been a lot of turnover on Special teams and the guys playing the iion's share of snaps this year are a lot different than last year.

But yeah, Ventrone might try to dial something up in his "revenge" game.

The Colts deserve to lose because of those stupid uniforms

Holy crap, how pathetic.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

Well, that could have gone better.

Maybe the Colts should have received.

[nate505]

What the fuck happened there. Was a safety just that out of position?

[Spike]

Well, run defense is looking good.

Deon Jackson is probably licking his chops and hoping to enter the next Cleveland offensive series.

Great tackle break by Downs.

Nelson doesn't look as bad as last year, but he still isn't back. Until last year, he was so strong he would destroy guys and the RB would just ride his hip. That hasn't happened in over 23 games. Long Covid? I can't believe that he stopped caring when he got his new contract, or has gotten weaker, but something is different.

He has turf toe this year, if you've ever had it, it robs you of your power because you can't push off of it. Not sure what the injury was last year.

[ChaosTheory]

No shit? Minshew showed some wheels twice on that drive.

Rushing the ball is what this team needs to do.

[Colts And Orioles]

Was Lenny Moore gone by then ???





o


Yes ...... his final season was 1967, when the Colts did not make the playoffs even though they lost ONE GAME ...... Rozelle was retarded.

The 1967 Colts were undefeated heading into the final game of the season ...... imagine going 11-1-2 and not making the post-season. ) :mad:

He is probably going to the concussion tent for evaluation

Stupid Colts hurt Watson, damn. Colts needed to treat him with kid gloves with the way he was playing.

[HoosierinFL]

Would be nice if we could get a long punt return sometime. Can’t remember the last time we had one.

Good overturned call by the referees ...... the angle of the ball was too straight-up-and-down for it to be a catch/INT.

On the other hand, the Ravens have shell-shocked the Lions, and are up by a score of 21-0.

[WaynesWorld87]

I know it's early, but we were in position to take firm-ish control of this game. All the MO on our side, playing incredibly well. Minshew looing great, we had the Browns league-leading defense on their heels, and it all goes away in the blink of an eye. Still don't understand how we didn't fall-on/recover that. That drive even started off with another upbeat, MO feeding play with a nice 8-9 yard run by Moss. Such a shame.

And predictably, P.J. Walker comes in for the injured Watson, and the Browns score a game-tying TD.

[Chromeburn]

I can’t believe Fries somehow couldn’t fall on that

Loose footballs are like a greased pig. Partly why it makes it so much fun.

[YDFL Commish]

Traditionally we will make PJ Walker an ALL PRO

There's the drive-killing hold.

Was the hold on the previous Minshew scramble (that was negated by the Browns penalty) on Fries, too?

[Spike]

Minshew with the 1st down, but of course the refs fuck us again.

[Chromeburn]

Refs really really calling the holding today

[YDFL Commish]

Well instead of a 1st down, we start to implode.

[nate505]

That was some vintage JT on that run.

If you club somebody trying to knock the ball free and miss the ball....that should be a personal foul and 15 yards!

[CletusPyle]

Pitt!

[CletusPyle]

This game from Minschew has been super impressive so far. Especially after last week's abortion.

[Hoopsdoc]

If they were calling the holding consistently that would be one thing, but they don't seem to be.

You will never convince me that Gene Steratores opinion in the booth didn’t influence the call on Kenny Moores interception.

That was an int all day every freaking day.

Complete and total BULLSHIT.

[Spike]

Nice drive to answer and take back momentum.

Just wish we didn't knock Watson out of the game.

[WaynesWorld87]

Nice drive to answer and take back momentum.
We've been very resilient today. After their strip-sack and quick TD, we came back and moved the ball right back down the field. I know it ended in a blocked FG, but a very questionable holding call killed that drive.

[Hoopsdoc]

Damnit. Now Brent’s is hurt.

[Spike]

Damn, Brents is hurt.

Colts need to play in London the rest of the year.

[Dewey 5]

That turf just sucks.

[nate505]

This crappy turf is just claiming victims left and right.

[WaynesWorld87]

They're going to overturn it. It's no different than our first INT that got overturned.

They are going to overturn this one as well.

[nate505]

[Racehorse]

Buck is an awesome player

[Hoopsdoc]

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

[nate505]

Fuuuuuuckkkk......

[nate505]

Freeland got killed there.

I'm all for aggressiveness, but you have to run it there.

[CletusPyle]

Come on....too stupid for words.

[HoosierinFL]

Literally what the hell was Freeland doing? Just a hand slap at Garrett?

[WaynesWorld87]

I can't recall a game I've ever seen where one defensive player single-handedly set-up or directly lead to this many points for his team. This is something amazing.

That's 17 of their 24 points that have been directly caused by Garrett's brilliance. We are dominating them otherwise. But Myles Garrett is dominating us in a way that's almost unheard of.

[Spike]

Garrett is killing us.

[Dewey 5]

Garrett is killing us.

He kills everyone

[Hoopsdoc]

That’s on our highest paid left guard in the NFL.

He completely whiffed and put them behind the chains.

[Chromeburn]

Um run the ball man. You have Miles Garret lined up on a rookie backed into your endzone? Gonna chalk this up to rookie coach over aggression.

[TheMugwump]

The one positive is that Coach Shane makes better halftime adjustments than most, so hopefully they move someone over to help on Garrett for the second half.

[WaynesWorld87]

Garrett is killing us.
That's an understatement. He shot us dead, hopped in his car and ran over us 3-4 times for good measure, and now he's just toying with the body.

[Spike]

Colts can't help themselves from playing stupid ass football.

[ChaosTheory]

Lost by 17 last week when we gave up 17pts off turnovers.

Today would be a double digit lead without devastating turnovers.

[nate505]

What the fuck...why aren't you running there.

I like Steichen, but that is clock management stupidity right there.

Lawrence Taylor. Reggie White. Bruce Smith. Ray Lewis. Ed Reed. Bob Sanders. Suh. JJ Watt. Off the top of my head.

[WaynesWorld87]

Ok Steichen, still love ya, but that's some questionable playcalling there. Just run it and get the clock down to 40-seconds and pin the Browns deep with little time to get in FG range. That, coupled with the pass play from our own endzone with Garrett lurking were big headscratchers.

[nate505]

They would have like 30 seconds left without that idiotic pass call.

I still can't believe how stupid that was.

[TheMugwump]

When did the whole team start playing and coaching like idiots?

[Hoopsdoc]

Well, they deserve to lose this game.

[CletusPyle]

The Colts defense has played pretty well, but you'd never know it if you just saw the score!

[WaynesWorld87]

When did the whole team start playing and coaching like idiots?
As soon as Myles Garrett started donkey-dicking us.

Hell, just as a spectator from my living room, I'm nervous every offensive snap expecting/waiting for Garrett o do something to wreak-havoc.

[nate505]

Way to go Steichen. You just gifted them three points there. Gifted it to them.

[rm1369]

Rookie HC so hopefully he learns, but play calling cost the team 10 points in last 2 minutes.

This has nothing to do with having a pity-party. Anybody that knows anything about football knows that context should be read into how the offense, the defense, and the special teams are all judged.

I liked the run-call on 1st down, but not so much on 2nd down ...... it was a little too predictable.

That said, we may have to run the ball a lot in general to off-set monster on the other side of the ball who has been terrorizing Minshew.

Good defensive stand.

It's nice to see what they can do when the Browns aren't starting in Colts territory.

Yes.

And they also get paid to not allow the offense the fumble the ball in their end-zone, and allow a touchdown for the opposition.

[CletusPyle]

Minshew is too inconsistent to be a starter!

I hate Cleveland, the team, their fans, and the city !!!

Welcome back JT!

[nate505]

JT has been great on this drive.

[Spike]

Big Q got us that 1st down.

[Spike]

JT is burning it up now.

[nate505]

I would have been a bit furious if JT didn't get the TD on this drive. He earned it.

Ok, a bit of hyperbole, I'm just happy they got a TD.

[ChoppedWood]

Q and Taylor starting to look real nice again! Love it!

[nate505]

That stupid FG at the end of the half is really looming large now.

[Spike]

JT with the TD.

For those who didn't want to pay the man, this is why he needed to be paid.

LOL...that is the main reason I hate it, I use to pickup cable TV equipment and had to drive through Cleveland once a month, always working on the roads there. Only city worse was Milwaukee!

[Spike]

Moss is very good, JT is great!

[Spike]

It's the Colts turn for a couple of turnovers now.

[nate505]

Damnit, that would have been an incredible pick.

[nate505]

What an absolute horseshit roughing call.

[Colts And Orioles]

That stupid FG at the end of the half is really looming large now.





o


It is.

But good teams overcome bad plays, bad coaching decisions, turnovers, and questionable calls by the referees ......all of which the Colts have sustained today.

If the Colts can win this game in spite of it all, we have got ourselves a good damned team. ) :cool:

o

[CletusPyle]

Accidental contact with the head....not always called but always called on us!

[nate505]

Finally, a stroke of luck for the Colts!!!!

[CletusPyle]

Our defense is playing one hell of a game!

[Spike]

Just as good as a turnover there.

About time we caught a break.

[Colts And Orioles]

It's the Colts' turn for a couple of turnovers, now.





o


Will you settle for a turnover on downs ???

o

[CletusPyle]

Too conservative calling.....

[ChoppedWood]

Pierce going up and getting it!!!

[CletusPyle]

Pierce is a beast!:D

[nate505]

Yes, as great as Garrett has been, he's had two bad offsides plays today.

[Racehorse]

We need to win the 4th quarter. Not an easy task, but possible, if the defense stays strong and doesn't give up the huge plays.

[ChoppedWood]

Come on Pittman- that is fucking 6!!!

[Racehorse]

That was a TD if caught

[nate505]

Take the damn points

[ChoppedWood]

We need to win the 4th quarter. Not an easy task, but possible, if the defense stays strong and doesn't give up the huge plays.

Keep heating up Walker- he is going to give us 1 if not 2--- GOTTA BRING THE PRESSURE ON HIM!

[Spike]

Damn glad SS took the points.

[Racehorse]

Time for a sack

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Browns have had 11 possessions so far today, and the Colts' defense has made 6 stops.

Let's see what they do here on possession #12.

o

[CletusPyle]

Brents might have picked that dead duck off!

[nate505]

What a fucking horrible flag.

The refs are just bad today.

Ahh, good. They picked it up.

[Racehorse]

Kenny came to play today

[ChoppedWood]

Keep heating up Walker- he is going to give us 1 if not 2--- GOTTA BRING THE PRESSURE ON HIM!

There's the first! There will be another in scramble time!

[nate505]

Interception!!!

[Colts And Orioles]

7 stops in 12 possessions, now.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

Interception!!!


Both starting safeties for the Colts with an INT in this game.

[CletusPyle]

Kenny came to play today

Too good not to post twice in one game!

[HoosierinFL]

That was kinda a dumb play call for the browns. Sure it’s like a punt, but they could have played for a long FG there to retake the lead. We just gotta be smart here and gets in yards.

[Colts And Orioles]

It's the Colts turn for a couple of turnovers now.

Spike asked for "a couple" of turnovers ...... there's (essentially) 2 in a row.

o

[nate505]

Pretty conservative drive, but I get it.

[HoosierinFL]

I don’t understand, we haven’t seen JT on the field since his TD. I thought maybe we’d ride him to finish out the game

[Spike]

Atta boy refs.

[Racehorse]

How do they overturn it after they called it? BS

[Spike]

Atta boy refs.

Never mind you dumb fucks.

[ChoppedWood]

Whew boy 58 yarder coming up!

[TheMugwump]

I don’t understand, we haven’t seen JT on the field since his TD. I thought maybe we’d ride him to finish out the game

He was out there for the wildcat one play, but yeah. He was getting a rhythm and the O-line was wearing down the Browns defensive front, and then he kinda disappeared.

[nate505]

Sheesh, now I know how the Ravens fans felt a few weeks ago.

[ChoppedWood]

He was out there for the wildcat one play, but yeah. He was getting a rhythm and the O-line was wearing down the Browns defensive front, and then he kinda disappeared.

That's the one thing I do not understand about the RB by committee thing- it lends itself to not riding the hot hand. JT was fucking dealin!

[Racehorse]

He was out there for the wildcat one play, but yeah. He was getting a rhythm and the O-line was wearing down the Browns defensive front, and then he kinda disappeared.

I bet we see a heavy dose this next drive

[Spike]

Yep, field goal kickers never miss against us.

That kick would have been good from 95 yards.

[Spike]

Damn, NE beat Buffalo.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Bills just lost ...... they are 4-3, now.

o

[ChoppedWood]

To
THE
FUCKING
HOUSE!

[nate505]

Fuck yes!!!!!!

[CletusPyle]

Pitt got `em!

[Racehorse]

Loving Pitt!!!!

[Spike]

MR Pittman with the TD.

[CletusPyle]

Pittman runs out to thank Gay for saving his ass!
