OFFICIAL Gameday Thread: Colts Mash Unit vs Tennessee Tiny Titans

[CletusPyle]

So not playing AR worked out, I wonder what his excuse will be next week?

[Spike]

Clown announcer is so fucking annoying!

Colts win! Tits with Levis suck.

Unless he reaggravates his injury, there should be no excuse.

A win is a win.

(THE COLTS' DEFENSE)


In the first half, all 10 points that the Titans scored were aided by the Colts' offense (an INT deep in their own territory), and the referees (a phantom illegal hands call on 3rd down, which would have forced a punt.)

On the Titan's first drive of the 2nd half, the Colts' defense was absolutely disgraceful by giving up a TD on a draw play on 3rd-and-19 from the Colt's 24-yardline.

Almost any other starting QB would have beaten the Colts today. Almost.

No doubt. Hat's off to Dam and all of the others on here who were definitely against us drafting Levis. If you can't do better than that against this Colts D then you shouldn't be on an NFL roster.

He seems to pick QBs pretty well.

Yep, kudos to Dam, he was right about Trevor Lawrence too. The Jackoffs can't beat any team not named the Colts.

Had my dad’s 80th birthday party this afternoon so I didn’t watch the game or even check the score until now.

What a great win. Can’t WAIT to watch it.

You saved yourself some angst watching the Colts run defense, but thankfully, the other side had the worse QB and play caller. Chalk it up as a win.

[nate505]

Yeah. a win is a win and I'm pretty happy about a win in general, but this is like the least happy win one could feel, if that makes any sense. It didn't' feel like the Colts won because of great play but because the Titans just fucked up time and time again with penalties or turnovers.

Still, better than a moral victory.

A win in a division game on the road is a rare feat. Just accept the W and move on to next week.

TEN's defense is pretty good. I didn't realize they were #1 in Pass and Total defense coming into the game. I don't think they're 243ypg all season good... but pretty stingy.

Likely still #1 in both after this week, I'd imagine. I don't know that I'd call it sloppy for our offense as much as lackluster and gritty. Definitely not their best.

But... Timely run by Goodson. Big plays by MAC and especially Pitt. If Pierce isn't going to catch bombs, 40 yard PI's are the next best thing. And Josh Downs is a stud. Didn't light it up, but reliably makes important catches and first downs.

Hard to judge the defense considering the opponent. Definitely more active up front blitzing... we didn't get any sacks, but they had 95 yards passing. We'll see what the pressures were.

Rumors earlier in the week that Pittman would not play....if he hadn't played the Colts wouldn't have won. Nobody else on the roster makes that catch in the end zone!

I was thinking about this today but with Pitt, Pierce, and Downs, the Colts have a legitimately good receiving corp. It’s certainly a helluva lot better than Tennessee’s washed up bunch.

Just missing an impact tight end.

I think that Ballard was trying to move up for Bowers to rectify the TE situation.

Same thoughts today- Dulin is also not at all bad as your 4th. Steichen compliments this group as well, he constantly schemes dudes open.

[Hoopsdoc]

I think that Ballard was trying to move up for Bowers to rectify the TE situation.

Also consider the fact that Downs wouldn’t be here if Steichen wasnt hired as coach. Remember, for years Ballard wouldn’t draft a wide receiver under 6 feet tall.

Downs is the perfect complement to Pittman and Pierce.

[CletusPyle]

Pierce would have made that catch.

Pierce has been making some great catches lately, but not with that level of contact.

I don't think he would have held on to it...

[Dam8610]

As I recall, wasn't it Reggie Wayne that pounded the table for Downs? Hopefully, AD Mitchell will start to look like as good of an acquisition soon. He has been getting more numbers with Flacco, even though his PT has gone down significantly with the WR room healthy.
