Official Game Thread: Ballards back ups vs Stealers Dream of Fields (9/29/24)

[ChoppedWood]

After refusing to acknowledge the secondary is actually a part of the football team in the off-season, the Colts and some former grocery bag dudes suiting up in the defensive backfield face off against a wash out QB in Justin Fields who may be the 2nd coming of Geno Smith.

I always thought Fields was better than what he showed in Chicago and he is playing with a chip for the Stealers now.

That said, AR comes to life, the Colts score 25+ and remind everyone why Fields was shipped. Russell gets PT after the Colts put Fields on the sidelines with an injury.

Colts 27
Stealers 24

[Hoopsdoc]

Steelers will run the ball efficiently and effectively. With both Harris and Fields.

The Colts will struggle on offense unless AR has somehow remembered how to throw the ball.

The Steelers are very fundamentally sound. They have a lot of really good players and they won’t constantly beat themselves like Chicago did.

I have serious doubts about whether we can win this game.

We’ll need big games from AR, JT, Zaire Franklin, and Latu.

27-17 Steelers.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


In the all-time series, the Colts have a 1-game winning streak going against the Steelers ...... so, history is on the Colts' side.

[Thorgrim]

Steelers 40-14

[Hoopsdoc]

Steelers 40-14

This is definitely possible but it would be quite disappointing because it would probably mean a total collapse from Richardson.

[IndyNorm]

Steelers 40-14

Agree it's going to be a tough day, especially w/ all of injuries on our D. But I think the game will go much more like the GB game, where Pitt runs it down our throat and controls TOP. Guessing more like 24-10 Steelers.

[Thorgrim]

My dream is that the Steelers lose in heartbreaking soul crushing fashion.

[omahacolt]

Solid B+ on the title


well done

I like it!!!

Kinda reminds me of last year when the big bad Browns defense came in here and nobody could score on them they were being touted as the 85 bears all over again… until Minshew lit them up

These are the kinda challenges Steichen shows up big time schematically

[Colts And Orioles]

Steelers, 40-14.

That's the same score as the 1976 AFC Divisional Playoff game, at Memorial Stadium.

Leonard Pinkerton is getting some of the snaps in place of Moore. Don't know for sure about the others.

Tanor Bortolini is 22 and will have his first start against Cam Hayward. Oof

Michael Pittman Jr. is a freakin' BEAST!

[IndyNorm]

Tanor Bortolini is 22 and will have his first start against Cam Hayward. Oof

Surprised he's getting the start over Pinter, but encouraging that he's past Pinter on the depth chart already.

[CletusPyle]

Hell of a drive!

[CletusPyle]

Without Nelson's holding penalties we may be better off!

[TheMugwump]

Surprised he's getting the start over Pinter, but encouraging that he's past Pinter on the depth chart already.

He should be past Kelly. Kelly is washed.

[Chromeburn]

Oline lead the way. Love it.

[IndyNorm]

Without Nelson's holding penalties we may be better off!

Huh?

[HoosierinFL]

Bortolini was a beast on that drive amd esp on the TD. He just drove his man to the ground.

[CletusPyle]

Huh?

Sorry, I meant Kelly!

[ChaosTheory]

Man... This offense can be stupid good if AR can hit passes like the one he sailed over Pittman on that out route.

Hope they keep focused. Nice start for Bortolini

[Racehorse]

Michael Pittman Jr. is a freakin' BEAST!

So is JT

[Spike]

Bortolini, the new Italian Stallion. Damn he was impressive on that drive.

[IndyNorm]

He seems to get at least one a game at the worst time!

Gotcha. Thought you might be confused that Nelson was out and not Kelly.

[CletusPyle]

Every fucking time we make a great play!

[HoosierinFL]

Fuck off refs with that call

[Butter]

What a BS bail the stealers out ROughing call.

[Spike]

Roughing the passer, Damn. Really!

[TheMugwump]

Holy crap! That was amazing...wait.

BS on that flag!

[ChaosTheory]

Fucking Chris Ballard. He signed Lamb who can't defy gravity

[Racehorse]

BS flag

[TheMugwump]

Even Gene Steratore agrees with us.

[IndyNorm]

Wow. Refs just FUCKED the Colts. This league has become a joke.

[CletusPyle]

What has got into this team? They look faster and more determined than I have seen them in a very long time!

[Colts And Orioles]

Too soon, C&O. Too soon.

Thorgrim was essentially begging me to post that.

[TheMugwump]

Blue Horseshoe is FLYING out there.

I mean if you're going to get a flag for just touching the QB you might as well do some damage he won't walk away from

[HoosierinFL]

I mean if you're going to get a flag for just touching the QB you might as well do some damage he won't walk away from

[TheMugwump]

Should be a flag on the Stealers there for piling on.

[HoosierinFL]

Well I don’t know where this defense came from but I’ll take it.

[Butter]

What is wrong with Gould

[Dewey 5]

Keep in mind this crew called 50 penalties in three weeks, second only to Clete Blakeman's crew.

[TheMugwump]

Great series by the defense there. Got screwed by the roughing call, but they only gave up one play. And they look FAST!

[TheMugwump]

Keep in mind this crew called 50 penalties in three weeks, second only to Clete Blakeman's crew.

Is this the crew that Al Michaels was making fun of on Thursday? Said something about it being June 14.

[CletusPyle]

Wonder why Flowers no nlonger returns punts, he seemed like the answer then he got hurt and I don't remember him ever returning any more punts after the injury?

[ChaosTheory]

We'll take the makeup call. Drive should've ended three plays ago.

[Racehorse]

What is wrong with Gould

My guess is Downs won’t get many offensive snaps, so they are using him to make room for defensive backups.

[CletusPyle]

AR hurt?

[Butter]

Josh "First" Downs

[Butter]

Please be down by contact

[Butter]

FUCK is AR down

[Butter]

Learn to fucking slide AR

[Colts And Orioles]

Richardson will miss this series, and be right back out there on the Colts' next possession.

Why would they call a run there? Steichen is a fool!

So they can hit our QB in the head?

I'm afraid AR is made of glass......

[Chromeburn]

Hip flexor?

[Butter]

It is nice having a solid backup, came in cold looking like he started the game

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Joe "Earl Morrall" Flacco with the TD-pass.

o

[TheMugwump]

Hip flexor?

I think I would rather it be his hip than his head.

[ChaosTheory]

Why would they call a run there? Steichen is a fool!

Have to be able to use him. If he can't perform, better to know.

[Racehorse]

I'm afraid AR is made of glass......

Blame Shane for that second injury. Why call a run for him when he is tweaked already?

[dwilli57]

Haha both PA teams losing 14-0

Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

[Chromeburn]

Steelers probably have a ton of zone packages anticipating Richardson and his running. Flacco will fuck all that up with precise passing.

[CletusPyle]

It's so unfair....Richardson's greatest asset is his ability to run, but he can't take the hits. That hit on his hip was not that hard. I see other QBs take much harder hits and jump right up. Guy may be too injury prone to ever see his full potential!

[HoosierinFL]

So Fields folds like a limp dick on a clean tackle and it’s a personal foul. But they can go helmet to helmet on AR and that’s a clean hit. Got it.

[Chromeburn]

It was an RPO AR chose to keep it.

Yep. Only the other team's QB gets protected by the refs when we play.

He also chose to slide kind of late

Catch.

The catch, but it was a catch. Tomlin's an idiot.

With a 17-0 lead, and all the momentum in their corner, the Colts' defense should at worst give up a field goal on this drive that the Steelers are starting at their own 4-yardline ...... another punt would be even better, but it would really suck to give up 96-yard TD drive at this point in the game.

o

[Hoopsdoc]

Just wanna say AR will never make it if he doesn’t learn to avoid hits like that.

There was NO REASON WHATSOEVER to take that hit.

The Steelers had at least a FG in their pocket, and they blew it with the fumble. Plus, the Colts just got a gift PI call ...... perhaps the Colts should be conservative if they get the first down here, and take a 17-0 lead into halftime by keeping it on the ground.

I didn't see 17-3 at the half. Defense should be rested. Let's at least hold that, please! I have confidence in Flacco.

Felt like they got away from the run after AR went down. Of course, PIT looked like they were selling out some, too.

77 should have gotten a personal foul on top of it!

I am shocked they gave it to US

[Spike]

Awesome, really needed that. Refs didn't fuck us that time.

[Indystu2]

[Dewey 5]

Need some point out of this.

[Indystu2]

Matt Gay over 40+ is unreliable.

[CletusPyle]

Gay is not the way!

[ChoppedWood]

Man that was very Gay- a lot of that lately.

[Butter]

That was not when I wanted us to run the ball

[rm1369]

Another stupid Steichen decision

[Dewey 5]

Gay sucks. Shrader should be the kicker. Not even debatable anymore

[Spike]

Why is Gay on this team. He's fucking terrible. If we can see it, why the fuck can't the coaches. Unfucking believable

[Indystu2]

Another stupid Steichen decision

Kick the FG? Punt? or go for the 1st?

[ChaosTheory]

The Gay that won us the Ravens game last year is not back yet.

Is he gone? Cause he's expensive.

[Hoopsdoc]

God damnit.

Gay has got to go.

Steichen played that series like he has a kicker he can count on.

News flash, Shane. You DON’T.

[HoosierinFL]

I’m not really mad at gay for missing a 54 yarder, we gotta get first downs.we gotta move the ball, use the clock, score tds. Not settle for long field goals

[Racehorse]

Kick the FG? Punt? or go for the 1st?

Had I known he would miss the kick, I would have said go for the first down.

[Hoopsdoc]

Just keep giving them opportunity after opportunity.

I’m sure it won’t bite us in the ass.

[Butter]

Kick the FG? Punt? or go for the 1st?

I would have preferred the Punt, but with who was one of the best Kickers in the league it is not stupid to try the FG.

I kinda knew he would miss the kick.

I feel like we are being set up for a big let down!

Go away Gus and go Gay!

[Butter]

And there it is, seen this movie as COlts fan to many times.

[Butter]

It is almost like they are not taking his ability to pull it down and run much into account.

[Hoopsdoc]

God damnit.

[Butter]

O is going to have to unass themselves and play some football.

[IndyNorm]

I’m mad at Shane for running on 3 and 7 like he knew he was going to get at least 3 points.

When we ran it I thought he had decided to go for it on 4th if we didn't make it :cool:

[CletusPyle]

If we don't get some points here, we are going to lose this game! AR says he's ready to go, Shane says, "he got hit, he's out!"

[Hoopsdoc]

Just put some more money on Pitt, b/c we're going to inexplicably lose this game :cool:.

Yeah this feels like a loss on a late Pittsburgh field goal.

So freaking frustrating.

Now, for the offense to go 3 and out.

[TheMugwump]

Colts haven't really moved the ball since Richardson went out.

Maybe they will now, maybe they won't, but AR is already far better, and more important to this offense, than many care to admit.

[nate505]

Now this game is getting nervy. Like this offense has been really bad since the beginning of the 2nd quarter.

[Hoopsdoc]

When we ran it I thought he had decided to go for it on 4th if we didn't make it :cool:

No, I knew what he was thinking right away.

Then he ran Gay out there with no hesitation.

He had clearly counted on 3 points to make it a 3 score game.

Apparently, he hasn’t been watching Matt Gay kick the ball.

[Butter]

Yeah this feels like a loss on a late Pittsburgh field goal.

So freaking frustrating.

Now, for the offense to go 3 and out.

Feels about right

[Dewey 5]

We're in trouble, boys

[nate505]

Great 3rd down conversion. Boy they needed that.

[IndyNorm]

Colts haven't really moved the ball since Richardson went out.

Maybe they will now, maybe they won't, but AR is already far better, and more important to this offense, than many care to admit.

Yep. We're seeing the Flacco led O, and it's turrible

[Butter]

The fuck now the OL has packed it in.

[Indystu2]

I like it better than Minshew

[Hoopsdoc]

We’re going to lose this game by double digits.

[Butter]

Pittman showing why he got paid.

[nate505]

Bout time they called a flag on the Steelers dirty ass hits.

[TheMugwump]

Michael Pittman Jr. is a BEAST!

Can I get a Hell Yeah?

[Butter]

I miss Moss.

[Indystu2]

Michael Pittman Jr. is a BEAST!

Can I get a Hell Yeah?

Hell yeah!

[ChoppedWood]

Man this referee crew is trash- that wasn't a penalty!

Mitchell again QUIT on a route-- STOP THAT SHIT!

We just got lucky as all shit with that one!

[Butter]

Damn right throw that flag, cheap ass hit

I retract on replay

[TheMugwump]

Fitzpatrick is a dirty motherfucker.

[Dewey 5]

Fitzpatrick is a dirty motherfucker.

That was a clean play

[Butter]

Mitchell again QUIT on a route-- STOP THAT SHIT!

!

It is concerning

[IndyNorm]

Mitchell makes another biz decision and gets bailed out by Fitzpatrick.

[CletusPyle]

That was a clean play

Maybe, but he is a dirty motherfucker!

[ChoppedWood]

Joe Flacco with the damn wheels there! That was a designed move of the pocket with the old man, wow!

[Dam8610]

Man this referee crew is trash- that wasn't a penalty!

Helmet to helmet at full speed is a penalty. You want to root for the Steelers, find a Steelers board to do it on. Oh, and great 3rd down conversion by Downs.

[Indystu2]

Another 3rd down conversion. Keep it going O!

[TheMugwump]

That was a clean play

Two things can be true.

[TheMugwump]

Josh "First" Downs!

[Chromeburn]

AD has some serious alligator arms. He can get open but is afraid to take a hit.

[ChoppedWood]

Fuck off

[CletusPyle]

They call that alligator arms.....:D
