the official colts vs bo pix and the donkeys GameDay thread

[omahacolt]

have at it ladies




A on the title

[Puck]

Latu, Mooney and Jones out. Not good. Donk's have the #1 scoring D after 1 week. Yea I know it was against the tacks.

27-22 Donks

[HoosierinFL]

Dang I missed Latu being on the injury report, that hurts.

[HoosierinFL]

Also why is this a 4pm game? its not being played in mountain or pacific time zones...

[YDFL Commish]

Also why is this a 4pm game? its not being played in mountain or pacific time zones...

Because the Colts are a hot commodity! :rolleyes:

[omahacolt]

Also why is this a 4pm game? its not being played in mountain or pacific time zones...

I hate that time slot. all colts games should be early games. don't want prime time games either

[Colts And Orioles]

I just got back from my race in Albany ...... still plenty of time to watch the Colts game. l :cool:

o

[Discflinger]

A-

[CletusPyle]

I think Jones can do the same thing this week as he did last week, which is hit the open guy and be smart with the football. He doesn't have to be superman, just steady Eddie. It will be a close game, but Colts will win!

[Puck]

AD is going to have his breakout game

[Discflinger]

https://discgolf.com/disc-golf-education-development/ed-headrick-father-disc-golf/

Didn't take you for a frolfer, Cletus.

[CletusPyle]

Didn't take you for a frolfer, Cletus.

LOL....maybe that is where the term came from?

[Discflinger]

Nah, it's probably older than him. Fitting though.

[Racehorse]

Cincy just took the lead with 0:18 left.

[CletusPyle]

Need to finish….but overall, nice drive!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Cowboys just kicked a 64 and-a-half yard FG on the final play of the 4th quarter to send their game into OT.

o

[Brylok]

I don't like having the late afternoon game. I'm trying not to fall asleep in my recliner.

[nate505]

Sheesh, what an absolute burn. Howard got killed

[CletusPyle]

Bo Nix is going to be a superstar....Colts have their hands full!

[Discflinger]

Fn Rawb Morris :eek:

[HoosierinFL]

Too many guys out on D is gonna make this a long day

[CletusPyle]

Tyler Warren is a beast!

[Racehorse]

Warren is a special player

[Racehorse]

It is easy to be a great defense when you are allowed to interfere on every drive.

[CletusPyle]

FG won't get it done today!

[nate505]

That was interference. Fuck these refs.

[Spike]

Is pass interference not a penalty anymore?

[Butter]

They are going to let Denver mug our revievers all fucking game aren't they, fucking cocksuckers

[CletusPyle]

Perfect pass from Jones...caught JT in stride!

[Racehorse]

JT has improved in pass pro and receiving.

[Spike]

Nice JT!!!!

[CletusPyle]

This team is much improved, I don't care what anyone says, we are a contender!

[Butter]

I think Taylor is tired of the but he is not good in the pass game, I love it.

[Brylok]

No complaints so far.

[Racehorse]

No complaints so far.

Jones missed a TD on the first drive on an overthrow.

[Spike]

I have to eat some crow, at least up to this point. DJ is doing a damn good job.

[CletusPyle]

Stick it up your ass Payton!

[CletusPyle]

OK Colts fans, doing the monster mash is a very bad look!:D

[Brylok]

Not a fan of the 3 QB keepers in a row, but whatever works.

[Racehorse]

Not a fan of the 3 QB keepers in a row, but whatever works.
I expected the third to be a delay to JT.

[Chromeburn]

Does anyone else have trouble getting to this site? When I open a new browser tab to go I always get a server error. I just get here by an old window still open to the site.

[CletusPyle]

They are getting wide open....not sure if they know who they are suppose to on!

[nate505]

Yeah, let's not cover the guy who had every fucking catch in the drive

[HoosierinFL]

Every one of their OL was holding on that 42 yard pass

[Thorgrim]

Got a feeling the donks suffer a turnover their next possession.

[Chromeburn]

Every one of their OL was holding on that 42 yard pass

On both sides. They are holding up a storm

[WaynesWorld87]

I couldn't get on at all last week. Tried off-and-on throughout the entire game and it didn't work. Just gave up and assumed something had happened to the site. Was pleasantly surprised it worked today.

[Butter]

Does anyone else have trouble getting to this site? When I open a new browser tab to go I always get a server error. I just get here by an old window still open to the site.

Frequently, I do as well.

[HoosierinFL]

For the record i hate the new kickoff

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Well, at least the Colts aren't chasing points on conversions.

o

[CletusPyle]

Every time I see that play where JT dropped the ball at the goal line the more I am convinced he did not drop it too soon!

[Spike]

Mitchell is looking pretty darn good.

[CletusPyle]

I think we should punt!

[Chromeburn]

Frequently, I do as well.

Been happening for a few months. I thought the site was closed at one point.

[Brylok]

Well, there went to scoring drive streak. Was it 10 straight?

[Butter]

I don't like that 4th and 1 at the 50. I don't care what the metrics say

[WaynesWorld87]

Not a fan of that playcall.

[CletusPyle]

These refs are trash!

[nate505]

These refs suck hard

[Spike]

That was so stupid Steichen

[HoosierinFL]

I think we have been getting too cute in short yardage situations, why not give the ball to your RB once?

[Butter]

These Refs really seem to want the Donks to win

[WaynesWorld87]

What a generous spot for the Broncos.

[Chromeburn]

Broncos getting a lot of penetration

[Butter]

Not a fan of that playcall.

Wrong time for that, especially with the Donks having the ball 2nd half.

[CletusPyle]

Refs are not going to let the players decide this one!

[nate505]

Trash refs again

[Brylok]

Denver receiver wasn't even looking for the ball.

[CletusPyle]

The Broncos have been all over our receivers, no call!

[nate505]

I thought that was interference, but not with how they've been calling it all game.

[Brylok]

Poor Howard is getting abused out there. Smh

[Butter]

These Refs have money on the Donks clearly

[nate505]

#4 has been getting killed

[Butter]

I thought that was interference, but not with how they've been calling it all game.

Exactly, we have seen that shit from Donks CBs all game

[nate505]

Fuck you Howard

[CletusPyle]

Forget it, we aren't going to win this game....refs are going to make sure of it!

[Brylok]

Howard gonna set the PI record

[Spike]

Fucking refs are complete garbage. What an embarrassment Goodwill. Just give the Donkeys 7 and let them kickoff.

[Butter]

Of course they do not call the Donks pushing off, fuck these refs

[Butter]

That was not catchable ffs

[nate505]

Forget it, we aren't going to win this game....refs are going to make sure of it!

Maybe, but that last one by Howard was obvious and bad

[CletusPyle]

Fucking refs are complete garbage. What an embarrassment Goodwill. Just give the Donkeys 7 and let them kickoff.

The ball was uncatchable...fuck these refs!

[Brylok]

Hard to beat the Donks and the refs

[nate505]

That was just horrible defense. Bad prep, bad everything.

[Butter]

the D has lost their poise ( understandably) we are fucked

[WaynesWorld87]

What the hell? We last second did check out and sent a man to cover him, only to still let him run right by us wide-open to the back of the endzone for the easy catch.

[Brylok]

Donks have 2 former Auburn QBs. War Eagle!

[nate505]

Sheesh, more penalties

[IndyNorm]

Holy shit the officiating is horrendous. Hope that ref gets plenty of dildos tossed at him today.

[BCN#1]

Jeebus with the officials today!!!!

[BCN#1]

You would think the Colts were playing the nasty Patricias with their home cooked officials. :mad:

[Brylok]

I want them to find ways to use Downs more.

[Brylok]

Pierce sighting

[CletusPyle]

Refs are trying to make it up by calling shit that doesn't matter!:mad:

[Brylok]

There went Nelson's knee. Fucking hell...

[Racehorse]

There went Nelson's knee. Fucking hell...

He is walking normally. Good sign.

[Spike]

Nice drive, damn Nelson is hurt. Shit! Doesn't look bad though.

[Mr. Session]

I thought it was now illegal for defenders to avoid the block low like that.

[Brylok]

Taylor learned how to catch.

[Racehorse]

Nix is about to give us a short field so we can take the lead before the half.

[WaynesWorld87]

For fuck's sake, did this offense led by Daniel Jones really just put up 20 1st half points against this vaunted Broncos defense? What the hell is this world we're living in?

Unfortunately, our defense has been shit today and the Donkeys still have 90 seconds to score before the half AND get the ball to start the second half.

[Spike]

Great drive Indiana Jones!

[Brylok]

He is walking normally. Good sign.

Hope so

[Thorgrim]

Turnover and colts score would be a wonderful momentum changer. The d really needs to step up.

[Colts And Orioles]

Nice drive, damn Nelson is hurt ...... shit !!! It doesn't look bad, though.





o


Next man up.

Injuries to key players ...... the referees are calling a horrible game ...... and you still have to win.

o

[Butter]

This Offense and Danny Dimes is for real isn't it?

[Spike]

Nice JT TD, without any help from refs.

[CletusPyle]

Take a knee!

[Brylok]

For fuck's sake, did this offense led by Daniel Jones really just put up 20 1st half points against this vaunted Broncos defense? What the hell is this world we're living in?

Unfortunately, our defense has been shit today and the Donkeys still have 90 seconds to score before the half AND get the ball to start the second half.

We deserve it. It's been a rough few years. I want to win every game, but I'm also happy with good, competitive, exciting football. This ha been great! With Daniel farking Jones!

[Brylok]

Jones has 235 passing yards in 1st half 😳

[nate505]

Pretty good first half. They're in the game at least. Horrible officiating so far though.

[WaynesWorld87]

Jones has 235 passing yards in 1st half 😳
Against arguably the best overall defense in the NFL and the best secondary in the NFL led by the reigning DPOY.

[Chromeburn]

Holy shit the officiating is horrendous. Hope that ref gets plenty of dildos tossed at him today.

Then the makeup calls when we don’t need them. To try and make it seem even.

[Brylok]

Against arguably the best overall defense in the NFL and the best secondary in the NFL led by the reigning DPOY.

And they're getting bailed out by the refs, and Howard is have a horrible time of it

[CletusPyle]

Whatever they said at halftime didn't work....

[Butter]

Well the D decided not to come outf of the locker in the 2nd

[HoosierinFL]

That was too easy, and the colts need to do something to guve Howard help out there. He wouldnt even be playing if not for the injuries, gotta help him out

[BCN#1]

Have to admit Howard seems a step or two slower. Was hoping he would rebound with us.:confused:

[Butter]

Warren moves so well for a big guy

[CletusPyle]

We have a lot of weapons and Jones is using them all!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts still have not punted yet this season.

o

[WaynesWorld87]

From 2nd and 1 at the Broncos 6 to 3rd and 21 and a potential TD drive is dead.

[Butter]

Can't trade 3 for 7s.

[HoosierinFL]

From 2nd and 1 at the Broncos 6 to 3rd and 21 and a potential TD drive is dead.

Its a killer for sure.

Also screw these announcers trying to jinx schrader every time!

[CletusPyle]

Both holding calls were legit, now all I ask is call the Broncos holds too!

[Chromeburn]

Have to admit Howard seems a step or two slower. Was hoping he would rebound with us.:confused:

It’s really hard to mask a slow corner in a man carriage scheme.

[WaynesWorld87]

Can't trade 3 for 7s.
Unfortunately, that'll be our demise in this game most likely. Two TDs+3FGs against 4 TDs.

[CletusPyle]

Special teams suck on kickoffs so far!

[Butter]

It is almost like half of our secondary died in camp and early season,

[Butter]

Shocked Cross didn't get a PI honestly, these Refs suck, they are super inconsistent. I wonder if the League told them to chill the fuck out.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The announcer was wrong ...... that's the Broncos' 3rd punt of the game ...... he said there was only 1 punt in the entire game.

o

[CletusPyle]

Refs are slow on their whistle when Jonathan runs....I think they are hoping the Donkeys can rip the ball out!

[Butter]

Enough with the mid field 4th ands, they are going to be part of what costs us this game.

[CletusPyle]

Shane needs to quit gambling at the 50....pin them back!

[Racehorse]

Enough with the mid field 4th ands, they are going to be part of what costs us this game.

Or get a bit more creative with the play.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts need a turnover.

o

[Racehorse]

They are close to getting Nix on the ground, but not close enough

[CletusPyle]

o


The Colts need a turnover.

o

Good call!

[Butter]

Bynum may have just saved the game.

[Dam8610]

o


The Colts need a turnover.

o

Good call. Great pick by Bynum!

[Brylok]

Cross with the int after that weak call against Lewis!

[Chromeburn]

Man Bynum was a great signing. Him and cross should be a great duo for awhile.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts need a turnover.

o
o


Done ...... in spite of another horrible call by the referees, gifting the Broncos' FG position with a "roughing" the passer, who was lightly pushed while he was in the field of play.

o

[Brylok]

Bynum not Cross

[CletusPyle]

I don't trust these refs!

[Butter]

There is the big run we have been missing

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts still have not punted yet this season.

o
o


The Colts really don't want to punt.

o

[Brylok]

Taylor has a lot of miles on those legs

[Butter]

Well, we still suck in the redzone

[CletusPyle]

Doesn't Shane have any plays that work when they bring the house....they didn't even hide it, they were all coming!

[WaynesWorld87]

Dammit, having to settle for another FG!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


It looked like we were going to go down by a score of 31-23 or 35 23, and now it's 28-26 ...... it could be worse.

o

[Brylok]

Well, we still suck in the redzone

At least it's entertaining. There were time the last couple of years that were just....

[Racehorse]

I think Nix is good for another turnover

[WaynesWorld87]

Doesn't Shane have any plays that work when they bring the house....they didn't even hide it, they were all coming!
Sure would be nice. When we did that to the Broncos earlier on a 3rd and goal, they sent their TE out wide. We scrambled and reacted and sent a player with him, but there was definite confusion because the TE still ended up wide-open in the back of the endzone for a TD.

[Brylok]

20-10 Eagles. Chiefs about to be 0-2. Era over?

[CletusPyle]

Every team is going to run screens on us the rest of the season!

He hit the freaking upright! hahahahahahahahaha!

[Butter]

WaaaaWaaWaaa!

[HoosierinFL]

I dont think ive ever seen a kick corkscrew like that

[Brylok]

I am thoroughly entertained!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


After the Broncos got a 1st down on the long run, they had a 5-yard delay-of-game penalty, and then a 15-yard personal foul for face-masking ....... shouldn't that have made it 1st-and-30, and not 1st-and-25 ???

o

[CletusPyle]

Win or lose, this has been one hell of a football game!

[Butter]

JT is going to will us to win.

[Racehorse]

If I were the script writer, JT would carry the rock in for the TD as time ran out.

[HoosierinFL]

Time to see what Jones is made of

[NextManUp]

Time to see what Jones is made of

Or Shrader.

[CletusPyle]

If I were the script writer, JT would carry the rock in for the TD as time ran out.

I hope they are reading your posts!

[Racehorse]

Should have checked into a pass play with 9 in the box

[Colts And Orioles]

20-10, Eagles. The Chiefs are about to be 0-2 ...... era over ???





o


No.

The Colts started Andrew Luck's final season at 1-5, and they finished it at 10-6 and beat the Texans in a playoff game ...... and that was Luck and the Colts, not Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Calling for the end to a Chiefs era is premature.

o

[Racehorse]

That was clutch!

[Butter]

Why run with 9 in the box at the 50, good lord

[Butter]

Pierce certainly showed up today

[Racehorse]

I have no idea why Shane is calling run plays

[Racehorse]

Pierce certainly showed up today

Cross, too

[Butter]

I have no idea why Shane is calling run plays

Run the clock down minimize turnover chance. I hate it

[CletusPyle]

We are really putting this on Shrader...I would have tried to get another first down!

[Racehorse]

Run the clock down minimize turnover chance. I hate it

But run outside, not into 9 players

[Brylok]

Win or lose, this is better than i was expecting. Feels like the old days.

[Butter]

I hate betting this much on a so much on a kicker who has not really been there done that, but here we are.

[Butter]

And another run they expcted, FFS Shane.

[HoosierinFL]

Geez that was not smart

[WaynesWorld87]

So not even a creative bootleg or counter play there to do something to get a few more yards? We ran those last 3 plays like we were already well into FG range.

[CletusPyle]

Unbelievable, but you still have to make it!

[Butter]

That was bad coaching at the end.

[HoosierinFL]

Not gonna hate schrader for that, but wait whats the penalty?!

[CletusPyle]

I love it, it's about time we get some of these games!

[Racehorse]

Kid got redemption

[Butter]

Well did not expect to get bailed out by the Refs at the end

[Thorgrim]

These are not your grandparents Colts.

[Brylok]

Yeahhhhhhhhh!!! 2-0 for the first time since 2009!

[Butter]

Lol, Denver is going to Burn tonight. What a weird game.

[Lov2fish]

I think this Jones kid might work out!

[Butter]

I think this Jones kid might work out!

He seems alright.

[CletusPyle]

Lol, Denver is going to Burn tonight. What a weird game.

Walmart going to lose some big screens for sure!

[HoosierinFL]

I wanna say the last time we got bailed out on a defensive penalty on a potentially game winning FG was 2003 with vanderjagt kicking vs Tampa Bay.

[NextManUp]

That was bad coaching at the end.

Yeah, you needed to throw and get about 10 more yards, not run and rely on a 60 yard field goal. They got lucky on that penalty.

[Lov2fish]

Yeah, you needed to throw and get about 10 more yards, not run and rely on a 60 yard field goal. They got lucky on that penalty.

The kid had the distance though. It is refreshing to see a kicker with that kind of leg.

[DragonTails]

The kid had the distance though. It is refreshing to see a kicker with that kind of leg.

He was short from 60.

[Brylok]

I'm just absolutely stunned. I figured the Colts would win 4-7 games this year. I would have bet my car that they wouldn't start 2-0. I don't like that leverage penalty, but they've been calling it in recent years so, okay. It's just so great and weird.
2-0!

[Colts And Orioles]

I wanna say that the last time we got bailed out on a defensive penalty on a potentially game-winning FG was 2003 with Vanderjagt kicking against Tampa Bay.




o


I think that you are correct.

This was more angsty for us, because that game was tied when Vanderjagt missed his first attempt against the Buccaneers in 2003 ...... the Colts were losing in this one.

o

[IndyNorm]

Came on to say that was horrible play calling by Steichen at the end there, but looks like you Freaks already have that covered.

[Racehorse]

I think this Jones kid might work out!

I think he and Shane needed each other.

[CletusPyle]

If I were the script writer, JT would carry the rock in for the TD as time ran out.

I think he had, "Colts win on 60 yard field goal"....had to call for a rewrite!:D

[omahacolt]

AD is going to have his breakout game

that will never happen

[omahacolt]

Taylor learned how to catch.

Taylor was good his rookie year in the passing game

[omahacolt]

Bynum may have just saved the game.

he for sure did

[omahacolt]

great game. colts have some work to do but that was what I wanted to see. well not exactly but we gave ourselves a punchers chance and got it done

[nate505]

That play calling at the end was the suckiest bunch of such that's ever sucked. Holy fuck, they had 9 guys in the box and he was still robbing it, when the FG was 60 yards away. Unreal.

[Kray007]

I would have liked to see them be more bold, but with 9 defenders in the box, you don’t have enough people on the line to pick up every rusher. The last thing you need is to take a sack and end up out of FG range.

[YDFL Commish]

I would have liked to see them be more bold, but with 9 defenders in the box, you don’t have enough people on the line to pick up every rusher. The last thing you need is to take a sack and end up out of FG range.

That's where you have to a naked bootleg, end around play, or something more creative.

[Colts And Orioles]

That's where you have to run a naked bootleg, l end around play, or something more creative.

Remember the manner in which the Colts ended this game 15 years ago ???

o

[Butter]

great game. colts have some work to do but that was what I wanted to see. well not exactly but we gave ourselves a punchers chance and got it done

For sure, this team is not a top contender by any means, but we have a chance kind of like the Harbaugh Colts of the mid-90s.

[Kray007]

That's where you have to a naked bootleg, end around play, or something more creative.

Didn’t they run a bootleg earlier in the game that lost 5 yards?

[ChoppedWood]

There is life in the organization that I would say we have not seen since Luck's great season in what, 2018? There was a bit of energy during the Rivers year, but this is starting to feel a little different and a little more collective. That celebration with Schrader at the end to Butter's point, had some 1995 era to it.

Not convinced we are a playoff caliber team yet, but also not ready to say that we aren't, and that's a LOT more than I expected 2 games into this season.

[IndyNorm]

That play calling at the end was the suckiest bunch of such that's ever sucked. Holy fuck, they had 9 guys in the box and he was still robbing it, when the FG was 60 yards away. Unreal.

No doubt. Steichen was calling plays like we were at their 20 instead of their ~40. Hopefully he realizes how super lucky we were and learned his lesson, but since we won I doubt it.

[omahacolt]

did anyone see the irsay gals face when the last play call came in? even she knew it was dumb as fuck to run the ball and hope for a 60 yard field goal.


coach really fucked up at the end of this game.

[Butter]

coach really fucked up at the end of this game.

It is weird how a coach who went for it on 4th at midfield was so conservative at the end.

[NextManUp]

That's where you have to a naked bootleg, end around play, or something more creative.

I was thinking that too. Remember when Hasselback did that and won us the game?

[Colts And Orioles]

o


On the final play from scrimmage, Jonathan Taylor lost 2 yards.

If Steichen was going to take the ultra-conservative at that point, then he should have run a QB sneak on 3rd down ...... a QB sneak will at least gain a yard or 2, AND it will prevent you from losing yardage ...... so instead of a 60-yard FG attempt for Schrader, it would have been a 55-yard or a 56-yard attempt.

And yes, I do think that it helps a kicker a lot if he is trying to make a 55 or 56-yarder instead of trying to make a 60-yarder ...... just like I think that it helps a kicker if he is trying to make a 52 or 53-yarder instead of a 57-yarder.


Steichen did neither risk-take nor conservative with that final play-call from scrimmage ...... he did the worst thing possible, which is to hand off to the running back who was lined up a good 5 or 6 yards behind the line of scrimmage, which gave the defense a chance to penetrate and throw the ball-carrier for a loss.

That is what I was thinking as it was happening. It was clear from the previous 2 calls from scrimmage that Steichen was going ultra-conservative, but in my rat's ass of an opinion, he even screwed that up ...... thankfully it became a moot point because of the 15-yard personal foul penalty, but I really think that there would have been a decent chance that Schrader would have been a little more confident and might have made a 56 or 57-yard attempt if it had come down to that.

o

[albany ed]

I know it was a conservative play call, but often I've seen a play like that pop through a seam and gain 20+ yards. It's the old saying, "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan"

Bottom line, The Colts are 2 and 0.

[Colts And Orioles]

I know it was a conservative play call, but often I've seen a play like that pop through a seam and gain 20+ yards ...... l it's the old saying, "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan"





o


As stated in my previous post, I was thinking that the Colts should have run QB sneak on 3rd down instead of giving the ball to Jonathan Taylor for the 3rd consecutive time while it was happening, not after the fact ...... so my problem wasn't with Steichen taking a conservative route and trusting his kicker, but rather that he screwed up that conservative route by not being conservative enough and making sure that Shrader's attempt would be from about 55 or 56 yards instead of risking the possibility of losing yardage and making him kick it from 59 or 60 yards.

o
