The " official" how many points will the Colts lose by today thread

[njcoltfan]

Let the fun begin !!!!

[Racehorse]

6, but we will be up by 10 at the half

[ChoppedWood]

19

We will be tied going into 4th and Chuck will instruct Brissett to center the ball and take a knee on each snap of the 4th Qtr to set up the FG.

[1965southpaw]

I believe we should lose every game for the rest of the year.....BUT.....in the history of my road trips we've never lost so this will either be the proverbial "any given Sunday" or not. Either way, I plan to have a good time and will enjoy an adult beverage or two. If I should run into Chuckles I will let him know the Coltsfreaks wish him well.......in his retirement. :cool:

[Dewey 5]

I feel for Texans fans. After this game they will actually think that Tom Savage is a good qb.

[omahacolt]

i had something similar for going to colts games. then i went to the lucas oil opening game against the bears and that was that

[HoosierinFL]

I feel for Texans fans. After this game they will actually think that Tom Savage is a good qb.

ha ha! probably. and then after his 2 TD 325 yard 65% completion game today, next week he'll go 0 TD, 2 INT, 200 yards, 40% completion.

[njcoltfan]

ha ha! probably. and then after his 2 TD 325 yard 65% completion game today, next week he'll go 0 TD, 2 INT, 200 yards, 40% completion.

if it was the Browns they would probably trade Watson !!

[ChoppedWood]

ha ha! probably. and then after his 2 TD 325 yard 65% completion game today, next week he'll go 0 TD, 2 INT, 200 yards, 40% completion.

Wait are you trying to say he will become the next Scott Mitchell or Matt Schaub- dudes that backed up the Brinks truck essentially because of us? If not rising to that standard Chuck can certainly promote him to the level of Case Keenum!

One thing that can always be counted on is the ability for the Indianapolis Colts to greatly increase the career length and in turn the bank account for some slap ass career 3rd stringer that we push to the edge of super stardom (until they consistently have to play a real defense week in and week out and are exposed for being shit and two years later are selling insurance).

Somehow that's been our history across decades regardless of who was running this thing.

[albany ed]

I'll watch the game today with my usual outlook:

Low Expectations - Colts lose by 17

High Hopes - Colts win by 2 with a late TD

[Coltsalr]

Tom Savage really sucks.

Because of that, I wouldn’t say there’s NO chance the Colts win.

[HoosierinFL]

Tom Savage really sucks.

Because of that, I wouldn’t say there’s NO chance the Colts win.

I actually changed my pick in Soda's picks to an Indy win after the news about Watson.

[DragonTails]

Colts win, defense scores, Brissett has 3 TDs including 1 minimum rushing.

Stack Brissett, Hilton, Colts D for draft kings millionaire maker.

Will send party invites after I buy my own island.

[Hoopsdoc]

To much dysfunction in this organization right now for the players to go out and play winning football. These guys know what's up, they know how pathetic this coaching staff is.

I say 31-7 Houston. Brisket holds on to the ball way to long, is sacked at least 7 times, Moncrief, Doyle, and Hilton each drop at least one pass and the defense is gouged repeatedly.

As much as Indy has nothing to play for, Houston has less and they are still in shock about their season being over. Indy has had 7 weeks to soak that in.

[HoosierinFL]

What is Quincy Wilson's status for today?

[Spike]

Damn, Tom Savage sucks.

[Spike]

Of course there is a penalty on the punt return by Bray.

[Spike]

What is Quincy Wilson's status for today?

He's out.

[Spike]

I wish there was a way to block the sideline looks of Pagano. He just irritates the hell out of me.

[Spike]

Brissett to Hilton, that was a beautiful drive.

[Butter]

They gonna F up the daft pick.

[YDFL Commish]

Some pretty throws from Brissett.

Hey Pags, od not let Aiken take snaps in favor of Moncrief and Rogers! He brings nothing to the table!

[HoosierinFL]

Surprisingly good drive. If Brissett isn't pressured, he can make the throws. I like how they used the shorter passes to set up the bomb - actual smart play calling. We'll see if it holds up once they get through the scripted part of the first few series.

Pagano likes part of the word adjustment. As in, just mental.

[indycolts2]

I wish there was a way to block the sideline looks of Pagano. He just irritates the hell out of me.

Particularly when he claps!

[Butter]

I am gonna Murder channel 4 weather douche if he doesn't go back to the game

[DragonTails]

They gonna F up the daft pick.

mgmt will do that- no need to worry about winning this game.

[HoosierinFL]

I wonder if Chud knows you can run off-tackle?

[HoosierinFL]

There's the dumb play calling

[YDFL Commish]

I wonder if Chud knows you can run off-tackle?

But can Gore, run off tackle? I dunno, I'm just asking.

[omahacolt]

WHy does Aiken play?

[ChoppedWood]

WHy does Aiken play?

He washes Chuck's balls....

Green on field= a bomb is coming!

[Spike]

WHy does Aiken play?

Because Pagano is an idiot.

[Spike]

Savage is a fucking bum.

[GoBigBlue88]

I do like Nate Hairston. In this shitshow of a season, he's been consistently good.

[YDFL Commish]

Savage is a fucking bum.

Yeah, he plays like a pussy. Throwing off of his back foot, when there's no pressure instead of steeping into throws.

Weeden will come in and kill us in the 2nd half.

[Racehorse]

I do like Nate Hairston. In this shitshow of a season, he's been consistently good.Yeah, we may have found something there.

[Spike]

Damn, Mack is quick and has some nice moves.

[HoosierinFL]

They missed a blatant hold on their LT

[Spike]

What a stupid fucking penalty by George, the guy was going out of bounds and he horse collars him.

[ChoppedWood]

What a stupid fucking penalty by George, the guy was going out of bounds and he horse collars him.

Shut up and clap damnit!

[ChoppedWood]

Another, yet another, another in a long long long fucking line of fucking stupid penalties that continue to give teams life.

Chuck you make me sick!

[Spike]

Anderson needs to understand not to hurt Savage, keeping that bum in the game gives the Colts the best chance to win.

[indycolts2]

Such bullshit.....cant stand the officiating in this league.

[omahacolt]

And here starts the collapse

[ChoppedWood]

Okay this is getting kinda hard to work through.

I really want us to lose out, but I also want to see us actually play well.

Hard to juggle these two- that missed field goal I kinda groaned at...

[Indiana V2]

Savage sucks, there's no the Colts can lose to this dude, but I'm sure Pagano will find a way.

[Racehorse]

Dodged the bullet there.

[Spike]

On a positive note, we have a hell of a punter.

[indycolts2]

I see Colts are trying to preserve Marlon Mack's career by not over using him.

[Indiana V2]

On a positive note, we have a hell of a punter.

Seems like the Colts always have a good punter.

[ChoppedWood]

I see Colts are trying to preserve Marlon Mack's career by not over using him.

Pagano is always thinking long term, because he has had eternity and a day already!

[Spike]

Houston isn't worth a shit without Watson.

[GoBigBlue88]

I like Mingo. Not as a starter, and probably not if this team had the depth it should ideally have. But idk, I just like his game.

[Spike]

Savage actually gets paid by the Texans?

[Brylok]

Savage is terrible.

[Spike]

There's a Mack sighting and he gains 11 yards.

[Spike]

Savage is terrible.

He's Tolzien terrible. Brissett is Joe Montana compared to him.

[ChoppedWood]

I heard yesterday Brissett routinely throws the ball 75+ in practice - I can see it- damn when he snaps it the thing is on a rope!

[Brylok]

Actually finding a way to use TY Hilton. Never thought I'd see the day.

[GoBigBlue88]

Brissett cannot read the field to save his life.

[DragonTails]

We should be blitzing Savage every play.

[Racehorse]

We should be blitzing Savage every play.

Looks like they are getting to him now.

[Spike]

Houston pulls a Pagano and calls a timeout. What's up with these fucking coaches?

[Butter]

Jesus the Texicans OL sucks

[HoosierinFL]

2 timeouts by Houston there is just about dumber than anything Pagano has ever done

[Chaka]

Probably thinks Pagano will mess up his clock management, thereby leaving them with enough time for a last minute drive

[Spike]

Bill O'Brian is almost as dumb as Pagano.

[Brylok]

This is a commercial-heavy snooze fest.

[DragonTails]

2 timeouts by Houston there is just about dumber than anything Pagano has ever done

I wouldn't go that far. lol

[Spike]

Hey, there's Crief. Forgot he was on the team.

[Spike]

Well, now the meltdown starts.

[ChoppedWood]

Wow, that was brutal. Paging Dr. Andrews- can you fire up your MRI machine please?

[GoBigBlue88]

Guys, Brissett is just not good.

[HoosierinFL]

I can't believe the shit that happens sometimes

[Brylok]

Brisset is always giving points to the other team.

[Chaka]

Guys, Brissett is just not good.

As a starter? Or are you saying you no longer see him as an upper level backup?

[DragonTails]

Guys, Brissett is just not good.

No, but we could make things easier like moving the pocket with some roll outs. But that would require some coaching.

If we had NE's coaching staff, we would look a lot better

[njcoltfan]

Unfuckin believable!!!

[Brylok]

Yet another commercial. smh. No wonder people aren't watching as much.

[GoBigBlue88]

As a starter? Or are you saying you no longer see him as an upper level backup?

As anything. He cannot read a defense to save his life. He's got a great arm and he's tough, but that's about it.

[njcoltfan]

Guys, Brissett is just not good.

He could get rid of the ball quicker !

[ChoppedWood]

No, but we could make things easier like moving the pocket with some roll outs. But that would require some coaching.

If we had NE's coaching staff, we would look a lot better

If you were coaching, we would look a lot better.

It's pretty fucking sad when the opposite team's coach is calling end of half time-outs just to force you to run more plays...because he knows its an odds game- the more plays you run, the ever increasing chance you will fuck things up! WOW!

[Racehorse]

Chuck finds a new way each week to et the opponent score in the last minute of the first half.

[njcoltfan]

If you were coaching, we would look a lot better.

It's pretty fucking sad when the opposite team's coach is calling end of half time-outs just to force you to run more plays...because he knows its an odds game- the more plays you run, the ever increasing chance you will fuck things up! WOW!

And its almost time for Pagano's legendary half time adjustments !!

[omahacolt]

Make no mistake. We are losing this game

[Butter]

Make no mistake. We are losing this game

Yep, pretty much

[indycolts2]

Was really hoping for the only proven deterrent to Pagano halftime adjustments......a 3 score lead, now the Colts are fucked!

[ChoppedWood]

And its almost time for Pagano's legendary half time adjustments !!

I am telling you, I am confident we are going to center the ball and take a knee to set up the FG--- they will never expect it! Team on 3.7! Go Team!

[Dewey 5]

As anything. He cannot read a defense to save his life. He's got a great arm and he's tough, but that's about it.

Second year third round draft pick playing in his second system in two years.

Give the kid some time.

[omahacolt]

I like Trent green calling the game

[Spike]

Second year third round draft pick playing in his second system in two years.

Give the kid some time.

100% agree. He only had 2 seconds before he was hit on that fumble.

[omahacolt]

Here comes a 3 and out

[omahacolt]

Bray should always take a knee

[GoBigBlue88]

Second year third round draft pick playing in his second system in two years.

Give the kid some time.

Eh, I don't know that you really fix the TDs he's gifting the other team. That's some pretty basic stuff.

I'd understand if it was just misreading defenses, but he just can't come off a primary, or get rid of the ball.

[indycolts2]

That looked like a bad spot.

[Spike]

Bray should always take a knee

Yep, and on the rare occasion he gains positive yards there's a penalty that negates it.

[ChoppedWood]

Hopefully since Savage sucks- we will go into prevent right here! We need to make sure they use up 8:17 in game clock before punching it in!

[GoBigBlue88]

Not gonna slam Pagano for not challenging there. I think he had it, but officials hate to change that call, so I understand the hesitation.

[ChoppedWood]

You don't seem too convinced our coaching staff can coach him up?

[indycolts2]

Not gonna slam Pagano for not challenging there. I think he had it, but officials hate to change that call, so I understand the hesitation.

Only problem is the official spotting that ball was 5 yards downfield from where the tackle is made.

[ChoppedWood]

Only problem is the official spotting that ball was 5 yards downfield from where the tackle is made.

I don't even think it was a catch- I think we were gifted about 11 yards on the punt.

[GoBigBlue88]

I'm starting to take the side that Brissett is actually bad.

[Hoopsdoc]

Who the fuck is Kalis and why is he playing over Clark?

[ChoppedWood]

Who the fuck is Kalis and why is he playing over Clark?

Clark is not picking up Special Teams fast enough???

[Hoopsdoc]

Not gonna slam Pagano for not challenging there. I think he had it, but officials hate to change that call, so I understand the hesitation.

Lamey was apoplectic over that spot. Lol.

Also, might as well chalk an L for this one. No way we're winning.

[HoosierinFL]

I'm watching this guy Kalis at RG. I never even heard of him before, but he's looked pretty solid today

[njcoltfan]

Have the Colts scored any second half points this year ?

[Hoopsdoc]

Clark is not picking up Special Teams fast enough???

Clark, Mack, Wilson, something fishy is going on with this team.

I'm starting to subscribe to the theory that Clappy isn't playing these guys out of spite.

[ChoppedWood]

Clark, Mack, Wilson, something fishy is going on with this team.

I'm starting to subscribe to the theory that Clappy isn't playing these guys out of spite.

Yea man, it sounds awefully tin hattish but damn that shit with Vonte- it very well could be that Chuck knows Jim has let him have this long walk on the short plank as the one to take the beating for this shitshow and this is his way of flying the bird back at him?

[Brylok]

Clark, Mack, Wilson, something fishy is going on with this team.

I'm starting to subscribe to the theory that Clappy isn't playing these guys out of spite.
He knows he's going to be fired and simply doesn't want to put in the work coaching them up. Not that he could anyway.

[Colts And Orioles]

Brisset is always giving points to the other team.





o


The Colts' offense has coughed up 6 touchdowns and a safety so far this season, even though all of those points are collectively attributed to the defense when totalling the points ceded by a team.



4 Pick-6's

2 Fumble Recoveries for a TD

1 Safety


o

[Spike]

I'm starting to take the side that Brissett is actually bad.

We get it, you don't like Brissett, but for fuck's sake, he is basically a rookie with no fucking coaching around him worth a shit.

[Butter]

Morrison is such a freaking pile jumper.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts are lucky that they didn't get a delay of game penalty right there, with the defender slapping the ball away from the ball carrier well after the play was over.


o

[Brylok]

This is a snooze fest. It's as quiet as church in there.

[Brylok]

Morrison is such a freaking pile jumper.
I thought that might draw a flag. Pretty late.

[Spike]

I thought that might draw a flag. Pretty late.

I was thinking the same thing.

[Spike]

Eagles are destroying the Broncos, glad to see that buck toothed bastard Elway getting his ass kicked.

[GoBigBlue88]

The All-22 for Brissett has to be brutal.

[Colts And Orioles]

This is a snooze fest. It's as quiet as church in there.



o


That's a good thing for us Colts fans ........ it means that the Colts' defense is doing very well.


o

[ChoppedWood]

The All-22 for Brissett has to be brutal.

In a normal organization yes, here, he's probably at the front of the room with the laser pointer giving the instruction to everyone else and Chuck is in the back clapping.

[Spike]

On another positive note, Doyle is catching everything thrown to him.

[Brylok]

Yeah, let's trade TY Hilton. Sure.

[ChoppedWood]

Great block by Rogers there- great block. He did not touch him- that should be 6!

[HoosierinFL]

He wasnt touched

[Spike]

Nice pass to Hilton from Brissett for a score.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Hilton using his head on that play ........ he stayed on the ground, making the Texans' defenders think that the play was over. He didn't get back up and start running toward the end zone again until they (the Texans' defenders) had walked several steps away from him. If he had immediately gotten back up, they probably would have tackled him.


o

[Spike]

Yeah, let's trade TY Hilton. Sure.

That was one of the worst trade rumors ever. Colts can't let Hilton go, just a bunch of dumb fucks calling for it.

[YDFL Commish]

Time for Pags to take the Colts collective foot off the gas pedal.

[ChoppedWood]

time for pags to take the colts collective foot off the gas pedal.

prevent prevent prevent!!!

[indycolts2]

I'm starting to take the side that Brissett is actually bad.

And that would be unjustified....as though you were making an uninformed observation which isn't like you.

[Spike]

Savage just fucking sucks.

[Racehorse]

Even the announcers know we could Chuck up this win at any moment.

[Racehorse]

Butler almost had that one.

Shades of Marvin against the Broncos !!

Shades of Marvin against the Broncos !!

I would say the good side of being a Ghost has returned.

[Spike]

Defense looks damn good today.

[DragonTails]

Yeah, let's trade TY Hilton. Sure.

Well if we were going to continue to game plan around Aiken, then yes.

[Brylok]

Defense looks damn good today.
Playing against Tom Savage.

[GoBigBlue88]

If you think the Colts fucked up Week 1 QB evaluation, imagine if your team had a healthy Deshaun Watson and started Tom Savage instead haha

[GoBigBlue88]

These Chud first down Gore run playcalls are just absurd now.

[Spike]

Gore is a beast.

[Spike]

AV is money!

[Spike]

Playing against Tom Savage.

Great point.

[GoBigBlue88]

I'm glad Jack Doyle has rebounded. Colts really need him for the next 2-3 years at least.

[Colts And Orioles]

o

o

o


And now, Doyle using his head on that play ........ diving for the extra 2 yards, knowing the he can't get a first down, but he CAN get a couple of extra yards closer to the goalposts for an Adam Vinatieri field goal attempt.


I like it when the Colts use their heads when they play ....... I've seen so much of the opposite this season.


o

[omahacolt]

We are going to make this close if history says anything

[Hoopsdoc]

These Chud first down Gore run playcalls are just absurd now.

No doubt. Everyone in the building knows what's coming.

Right on cue. Lol. Touchdown Texans.

[njcoltfan]

prevent prevent prevent!!!

Appears they are in that “D”

[Hoopsdoc]

This is setting up for a classic Pagano "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" finish. I can barely watch.

[njcoltfan]

Can you say 21-20??

[omahacolt]

Can you say 21-20??

Sounds right

[Colts And Orioles]

o


If the Colts get at least a field goal on this drive, they will win the game.

If they don't, they will probably lose by a score of 21-20, although they would still have a modest chance for a last-second Vinatieri field goal to bail them out.


o

[njcoltfan]

That was a 6 play 3 minute drive!!

[njcoltfan]

Great fuckin punt!!

[HoosierinFL]

are you ready? here it comes

[njcoltfan]

We still can’t defend a draw!!

[Colts And Orioles]

If the Colts lose this game, they will officially take their rightful place alongside the Washington Generals ........ just knowing that they are going to let the Globetrotters/opponents win the game at the very end.

[Racehorse]

Fitting end to a shitshow

Yay! we are the tallest midget!!!!

[daedge]

The downside of this win is the players have to stand there and listen to Pagano do one of his stupid post-win speeches.

[njcoltfan]

Well there goes that top 5 draft pick, but congrats to them for finally finishing!!

[HoosierinFL]

I'm the last to defend Pagano, but those 2 TO's were good calls. They can take their time to call their defensive play, and let the pass rushers get a rest.

[DrSpaceman]

I know it helps more in the long run to lose, but I still can't root for it.

Always good to be the Texans.

[Puck]

Obrien and Savage Chucked that game up with poor clock management to end the game. Savage should have clocked the ball when they had 30 seconds left and just got that 1st down.... that was Paganopidty

My bad. I was just looking at the AFC standings. However, that puts us tied for the fifth pick.

[DrSpaceman]

My bad. I was just looking at the AFC standings. However, that puts us tied for the fifth pick.

And the Colts "Strength of Victory" has to be the lowest out of all the 3 win teams.

Combined 3 wins by the teams Colts have beat, all by the Texans.
