One thing I like about Bradley’s zone is it somewhat protects young cornerbacks.

That said, the Bengals have the best receivers in the league by a wide margin. I think they’re going to feast today.

They don’t have a good defense, though they’ve been better at home. The Colts will have to score a lot of points if they want to win.

This is a huge game in terms of impact on the playoff picture. I don’t see the Bengals losing at home.

31-24 Bengals.

Their D isn't great, but it's not bad and they have a pretty good pass rush off the edges w/ Hendrickson and Hubbard.

For us to win our DL will have to dominate their OL (which could happen), and we can't turn the ball over.

I think Minshew turns it over a couple of times and our secondary gets torched a couple of times as well. 27-17 Bungles.

I'm not sold on Browning...he played well against the Jags, but if Lawrence doesn't go down they wouldn't have won that game!

[ChoppedWood]

All about the DE's and Buck today, if they can get home, we have a shot, if they don't, the secondary takes a bath.

Colts in a close one 27-24

[Oldcolt]

I believe in Steichen's ability to get this team ready to play and win. I believe we will win. I love Discflinger's attitude of fuck those Bengals.

[HoosierinFL]

No Speed concerns me

[Dewey 5]

My confidence level for this game isn't very high. Chase might set a receiving record. Colts better find a way to generate some serious pressure on Browning.

[Thorgrim]

Good guys 19-16

[nate505]

It's the Pro Version of the Apple Cup today!

[nate505]

Sheesh, what a terrible start. He couldn't find anyone open there.

[CletusPyle]

Nice start!:rolleyes:

[Butter]

Bad Minshew to start the game, he looks out of sorts.

[nate505]

Ugh, horrible first drive. Hopefully some adjustments can be made.

[ChoppedWood]

Buck!

[nate505]

Nice defensive stand.

Hey, Stewart makes an impact already!

[Racehorse]

Jags already down 7-0

[nate505]

"Speedster" Alec Pierce. Is he really a "speedster"?

[CletusPyle]

We need JT to get healthy and stay healthy for more than a couple of games at a time!

[Racehorse]

"Speedster" Alec Pierce. Is he really a "speedster"?

Contrary to popular belief, white guys can also be speedy

[Hoopsdoc]

We’re gonna have to run the ball. We won’t win with Minshew.

[bigalbert]

Minshew can really make you scratch your head can’t he? What the hell was he looking at on that 3rd down throw?

Pierce has the best 40 time of the starting WRs

I'm not saying he's slow, but those titles are usually reserved for guys like Tyreke Hill or even a Paris Campbell. Just never heard of him as that.

[ChoppedWood]

Shitball D there, total shitball!

Kenny did get shoved in the back on that slash through.

[Racehorse]

Screen passes rarely work out in our favor, no matter which team is running it.

[nate505]

Well this fucking sucks. Need an answer desperately here.

[YDFL Commish]

Typical Colts start to the game.

[Hoopsdoc]

To easy.

How in the heck does he only have to beat one guy to get to the end zone? Someone blew a coverage there.

Whenever I pick the Colts to win, they lose. Whenever I pick the Colts to lose, they win. Smh...

Minshew missed Granson for a TD last week just like that.

Now a missed FG. Fuck.

[ChoppedWood]

Oh fuck me raw, are you fucking kidding me!

This is looking like one of them days, when you don't wanna wake up, everything is fucked, everybody sucks!

[Chromeburn]

It’s gonna be one of those games I think.

[Brylok]

Good grief

[CletusPyle]

Starting to look like this is not our day....Gay never misses at that distance!

[Thorgrim]

Is it too early to be getting that queasy feeling?

Promising drive
We can move the ball
Penalty hurts
He was gonna miss one eventually
Let’s go D

[CletusPyle]

Colts need to win 3 of the last 5 to make the playoffs in my opinion...the Bengals without Burrow should be a win for us!

[Brylok]

That was a shitty first quarter. Not super shitty, but shitty.

In Steichen I trust though.

[ChoppedWood]

Wow, how in the absolute fuck do you let that happen. D looks like dogshit today!

[Spike]

Ridiculous piss poor coverage.

[Dewey 5]

Continuing to look like this is not our day.

[Racehorse]

We need a turnover

[Brylok]

We can't tackle today

[Spike]

Does everyone who plays us always gain 180 yards on screen passes?

[YDFL Commish]

Worst tackling team in the league

[CletusPyle]

Dumbass!

[ChoppedWood]

Levarage. Oh My God.

We should just walk the towel out to mid field, lay it on the logo, get on the busses and start working on next week.

[Dewey 5]

We can't tackle today

Can't do a damn thing right

[TheMugwump]

Cue C&O with a recap of a famous leverage call that went our way on a Monday night...

[Chromeburn]

Wow that’s ticky tack

[DragonTails]

This will be a blow out. Hopefully hou and cle lose too.

[Spike]

That's a fucking penalty?

Damn!

[Brylok]

Leverage. WTF?

[Butter]

We came to lose today, team looks like garbage

[Dewey 5]

Game over.

[Chromeburn]

Sooooo much holding

[Butter]

What the fuck refs

[Hoopsdoc]

What the fuck is going on?

Guess the NFL wants the Bungles in the playoffs?

Are they just trying to give the bengals another TD?

I mean the refs

[CletusPyle]

Maybe the Colts get pissed off after that series?

[Hoopsdoc]

I don’t know why, but the NFL wanted the Bengals to score a touchdown there.

o


I'm just tuning into the game now.


I remember the leaping call against the Buccaneers in 2003, which gave Vanderjagt another try for the win.

I remember Joe Washington running rampant against the Patriots in 1978.

I'm not sure which one you are referring to.

o

[Mr. Session]

They can’t run. They can’t pass. They can’t kick. They can’t play defense.

I guess we were due for one of these.

[CletusPyle]

I don't really believe games are scripted, but sometimes it feels the fuck like it.

And when they suck so bad they can't execute the script, refs step in to save the day!

[ChaosTheory]

Goofy penalties... But we need to cover a fucking screen. That's why we're down.

[nate505]

Bryan you fucking moron. So dumb.

[YDFL Commish]

They can’t run. They can’t pass. They can’t kick. They can’t play defense.

They can't play disciplined football.

If getting pissed off translated into winning football, Jim Irsay would hire every homicidal maniac in the greater-Indianapolis area to play for the Colts.

The famous Bucs comeback game where the Sheriff made Gruden cry.

[Spike]

The Colts with another damn penalty.

[CletusPyle]

Hockely's kid is a muscle bound measthead just like him!

I take it back! :D

[ChoppedWood]

Goodell is on the phone, that ref is getting shit canned at the whistle!

[nate505]

This game is just nauseating on every level.

Hey, a penalty. Good.

[Spike]

Hey, a penalty on the Bungles.

[nate505]

They didn't think that warranted a personal foul? I get them being a bunch of homers, but that was pretty blatant with how late it was.

[Chromeburn]

They had to reluctantly call that I bet

[Colts And Orioles]

o


We fell behind the Rams by a score of 23-0 before Anthony Richardson led us back to tie the game, and put us into position to win before a Colts receiver dropped a pas that likely would have won the game.

Unfortunately for us, Richardson won't be ready to play until next year.

o

[ChoppedWood]

Good damn throw and catch!

And then, not so fucking much! Catch the ball fucko!

[Spike]

Can't run the ball worth a shit.

[TheMugwump]

I've never heard anyone who can not pronounce the name "Taylor".

Until this PbP guy.

[nate505]

Moss has had one good run in this game so far, that he didn't even get the yards for.

In his defense, the OL has given him nothing to work with.

Hey, Pierce has been a good possession receiver today.

[Spike]

Nice Pierce.

[ChaosTheory]

Dude, these slightly off throws are leaving so much out there.

[Spike]

Minshew is so damn maddening when he misses wide open guys.

Oh, OK.

That would be the same game as the leaping call, in 2003.

Actually, that's a rare time in which I don't remember the specific play that turned the tide in our favor.

o

[nate505]

Come on Minshew, dive.

[TheMugwump]

Finally starting to find some running room.

[DragonTails]

This looks like 4 downs and 0 points

[CletusPyle]

What is with the Warlok in the stands giving Devil signs?

[ChoppedWood]

The line judge literally running in taking a fucking YARD away from where that ball was down---- WTF!

[Hoopsdoc]

Ballgame here. Probably over anyway but it’s definitely over if they can’t score here.

[TheMugwump]

Please please please nothing fancy here. No PA pass, no pitchout. Just run it up the middle and if you don't make it, you have them pinned at the 2.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


What kind of a spot was that ???

He was half a yard short, and they marked him a full yard short.

o

[CletusPyle]

Every time we run left we get squat, every time we run right we get nice gains.....I know, let's run left!:rolleyes:

[CletusPyle]

Mo Cox!

[DragonTails]

That was a nice throw. Clutch.

[TheMugwump]

Okay. I was wrong.

Good call, good throw, good catch.

[Hoopsdoc]

What the fuck Gay?

[ChoppedWood]

Been a while since we've had some Big Cox doing damage! Sadly the Gay dude ruined the shoot!

[Racehorse]

Gay is not the way to go today.

[Hoopsdoc]

Colts can’t quit stepping on their own dicks.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Mugwump ...... if you were describing the "leaping" call when you said "leverage" call, then yes, I remember that.

Unless there was a play earlier in the game which ignited the Colts' 21-point comeback.

o

[CletusPyle]

Couldn't get Mo Cox off his mind?:D

[BCN#1]

WTF with Gay???

[Dewey 5]

Not a good time for Gay to have the yips

[Brylok]

What's wrong with Matt Gay? WTF?

[Spike]

Our great kicker is really fucking up today. 4 points

[Hoopsdoc]

Colts are gonna lose. To many unforced errors. They can’t overcome all these mistakes.

[Colts And Orioles]

OK ...... I was wrong.

Good call, good throw, good catch.





o


You may not have been wrong ..... a run up the middle still might have gotten the 1st-down, and we might have gotten the TD anyway ...... and if we had gone that route, we may have simultaneously taken more time off of the clock while scoring the TD.

o

[CletusPyle]

Should be 14-10!

[ChoppedWood]

Need a TO here, cannot let them score AND get the ball back at half!

[HoosierinFL]

Need to see a replay but that looked like a bad hold

[CletusPyle]

Need a TO here, cannot let them score AND get the ball back at half!

Nostradumbass you are!

[ChoppedWood]

Hell to the FUCK yes!!!

Harrison personifies this team- grinding, fighting, staying in the game and now he is doing a hell of a job replacing Leonard!

[Brylok]

Gay has left 4 points off the board by himself.

[CletusPyle]

And all of a sudden, it is alright to be Gay again!

[Chromeburn]

Is that his second pick six?

[Brylok]

Thank God, Ronnie Harrison! Hopefully a spark

[nate505]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

What a turn of events!!!

[BCN#1]

Wowza!!:eek:

[ChoppedWood]

And all of a sudden, it is alright to be Gay again!

Probably just not happy to finish up after the Cox got loose!

[TheMugwump]

I was wrong again because I was sure going for two was the wrong call this early in the game.

I'll eat happily eat some crow x2.

[Racehorse]

There’s the turnover I asked for earlier.

[YDFL Commish]

I would rather be lucky than good. The Colts play like shit for 26 minutes and somehow score 14 pts in the last 4 min.

[nate505]

I didn't like going for 2 that early, but I get it, and hey, they got it.

[CletusPyle]

Now don't let them get a TD on this final drive!

[ChoppedWood]

Let's go D!

[DragonTails]

Hope that got in Brownings head and he is timid and fks up the game.

[ChoppedWood]

Fixed ass bullshit. Chase is using his arm as leverage and that's on us? Fuck Roger!

[Butter]

Another bad penalty.

[Spike]

That's a bullshit pi call. Bastard refs.

[CletusPyle]

This crew should be fined!

[ChoppedWood]

There is ZERO fucking wrong with play- absolutely text book play by Kenny.

Damn Roger has this game completely fucked up!

[Chromeburn]

This crew man something is up

[Spike]

Hard to beat the Bengals and the refs.

[nate505]

That is a horrible call. Fuck these refs.

[TheMugwump]

How about another pick-6 right here?

[nate505]

What the absolute fuck. These refs are just a massive pile of crap.

[ChaosTheory]

Things look better when you don't allow 60yds on the screens

[Spike]

This crew should be FIRED!

There, fixed it for you Cletus.

[Brylok]

It's a sad state of affairs when picking up a flag that was just a regular football play is showed with praise.

[ChoppedWood]

One quick out here, and let's go Gay again!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Don't throw a pick-6 here on a quick-out pattern.

o

[nate505]

Just take a knee and go into the half. Five seconds, not worth the risk.

[CletusPyle]

Baby Hockley will have to answer to Goodell for this game being tied at halftime!

[Spike]

Throw it deep and try and get a PI.

[ChoppedWood]

Another remarkable 2023 Colts half of football. Looked mostly ass, tenacious and refusal to quit leading to fortuitous opportunities.

Do it the same way over the next 30 and we're very very likely to be in the dance!

[Hoopsdoc]

This crew man something is up

This crew will end up fucking us over. I’ve never seen anything like that.

[Colts And Orioles]

One quick out here, and let's go Gay again !!!





o


That was my first thought, but the Bengals were vigilantly guarding the sidelines ...... there may have been a chance for a pick-6 because of that.

o

[Spike]

I heard that in the Texan game, there was going to be extra scrutiny on the refs today.

They need that shit in every game.

Fans all over the league are complaining about these sorry ass refs and that can't be good for Badell.

The bengals have to feel like there’s no good reason for the Colts to be in this game and they’d be right.

Pathetic start.

No screen that time. Just diced up.

What an absolute crap start to the second half. Damn, that was too easy.

[ChoppedWood]

What in the fuck was he throwing at there---- and yes AT is the right word!

OOOOF!

[nate505]

What a horrid play call there. Sheesh, that was just bad.

[Hoopsdoc]

They call pass interference on the colts all day on that play.

[ChoppedWood]

Miserable coverage by Baker. Miserable.

[nate505]

Might as well change Baker's name to Toast.

[TheMugwump]

Not so sure Gardner is the best B/U quarterback in the league at this point...

[Butter]

So the Def decided not to return for the second half. sigh

[Hoopsdoc]

The Bengals are just a better team. And it’s not close.

[ChoppedWood]

This is the OL that has basically destroyed the magician of Joe Burrow, and they look like they are the best OL ever against us!

Zaire OH MY GOD!!!

[nate505]

Decline the penalty....unless it's a 15 yarder.

[nate505]

Eh, I don't have a huge issue with them even declining this one.

[nate505]

Well that sucked.

[nate505]

Jesus, Harrison was only held just slightly on that play...

[YDFL Commish]

Decline the penalty....unless it's a 15 yarder.

[ChoppedWood]

Well playoffs are starting to seem a bit far away at this point.

[Hoopsdoc]

I agree. Should have taken the penalty.

[ChaosTheory]

I'm not big on questioning coaching decisions... But why not take 2nd and 22?

[Colts And Orioles]

It was a 15-yarder ...... dumb call.





o


Agreed.

I'd rather have 2nd-and-18 instead of 3rd-and-6 ...... especially in the red-zone, where the field is more compact.

[Hoopsdoc]

Well playoffs are starting to seem a bit far away at this point.

Colts had no business being in this game at the half. That was pure dumb luck.

Cincinnati just looks like a better team on every level today. Backup QB included.

This does not make me excited for Pittsburgh next week.

[Racehorse]

Well playoffs are starting to seem a bit far away at this point.

Only saving grace is that the rest of the division is losing today.

[CletusPyle]

I don't know what the odds of winning a game when your opponent scores on their first two possessions of the 2nd half....but it has to be low!

[Racehorse]

I don't know what the odds of winning a game when your opponent scores on their first two possessions of the 2nd half....but it has to be low!

Need another defensive score, or two.

[Brylok]

I guess I'll go back to not picking the Colts. Have a good evening, gentlemen.

[Racehorse]

Maybe run outside instead of up the middle???

[nate505]

This second half is just pure garbage.

I get it, the Colts were bound to lose sometime, but sheesh, this is miserable.

[CletusPyle]

Without a turnover this looks like a lost cause!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Our daring head coach made a bad call in declining a penalty.

Our otherwise excellent place-kicker made 2 bad kicks.

Our generally solid defense has looked sub-par.


But there is still a long way to go in this one ...... I've seen much stranger things than a team that is being outplayed coming back from being down by 14 points late in the 3rd quarter.

o

[Lov2fish]

This team is exactly who I thought they were. A 4 win team with a bunch of spunky overachievers' 7 wins was a bonus, and dropped us in draft order. Fools gold except for the homers who think this team can go somewhere should they get lucky and back into the playoffs. They will be trounced out of the first game.

[Racehorse]

Minshew is not reading the defense very well today.

[Hoopsdoc]

Only saving grace is that the rest of the division is losing today.

Yeah, but Jax has the tie breaker on us and we’re not gonna finish ahead of them. If they lose today they’ll be 8-5 and we’re going to be 7-6.

I still don’t think we catch Jacksonville.

[Spike]

Well, keep wasting first downs on runs that gain jack shit, and here we are again, punting.

What a frustrating game to watch.

[bigalbert]

Is Minshew as dumb as Vince Young? How about a 2nd or 3rd read

I think we all know they will get bounced, but why not try to get there anyway?

Hard to disagree with any of that after today's performance! Good to see you in a game thread, even if it is only a drive by!:D

[Chromeburn]

Minshew has been inaccurate all day. Receivers can barely get their hands on it. And the offense should be able to run on this defense.

[IndyNorm]

Yep. Our OL and DL have been super disappointing today. Unable to run against the worst run D in the league, and no pass rush at all against a bad pass protecting OL.

Need to sniff out screens a lot better, Gus!!!!!

So Jekyle and Hyde today... The Defense board the bus for home at halftime?

I don’t understand how we are so comically inept at both defending them and running them.

For every one that works we have 7 that fail.

The O-line isn’t moving anyone today

That's the worst thing. Line is just stood up.

Also getting absolutely thrashed on these screen plays.

Should we start talking about how Burrow is just a system QB? Somebody gonna say it this week somewhere. Lol

I think we all know they will get bounced, but why not try to get there anyway?

Is dropping 4-8 spaces in draft order really worth watching us get embarrassed in a playoff game. We need so much help in so many places

Probably tipping them off somehow. And we are not sending a guy to pickup the dumpoff guy.

I understand what you are thinking, but I am not one to root for a loss.

Sheesh, QBs are injuring themselves doing nothing now.

I'd much rather be in the playoffs than being 4 spots ahead or whatever. Winning is a cultural thing.

Now a third stringer will kick our defense's ass!

[nate505]

Hahahaha, of course, that's the way the game is going today.

[nate505]

So fucking stupid. Stay away from the returner you moron.

[CletusPyle]

Fuck this entire team!

[Chromeburn]

Ughh christ

[Spike]

We sure have some dumb ass players on this team.

[bigalbert]

Or maybe, just run it down our throats.

Announcers suck again, bastards.
