But it wasn't the first time!

He did, but I’m not sure he did it on purpose. If that makes sense.

Wentz was awful tonight. Just brutal. Then Pittman got tossed(what the hell was that, anyway?)

Frank really had no choice but to ride Taylor and the O-Line.

Which turned out to be a genius move.

Piggybacking off of the recently-cited cause-and-effect phenomenon, it's possible that Wentz would have been a little less awful in the 2nd half last night had Pittman not been ejected from the game in the 3rd quarter.

(vs. CARDINALS, 12/25)


At the very end of the first half, I was wondering what the hell Reich was doing in regard to clock management ...... we had all 3 timeouts left, and after Pittman caught a pass in-bounds, he just casually let an additional 10 seconds run off of the clock before finally calling a time-out with only 21 seconds left.

But considering the surrounding circumstances, I think that Reich may have been going ultra-conservative and just playing for the field goal for numerous reasons.


1) ) The entire starting offensive line is missing.

2) ) Because of that, I think that Reich was a little leery of taking a chance on a turnover from a rushed pass or a strip-sack.

3) ) The Colts were getting the ball to start the second half, so they were kind of in the driver's seat in regard to momentum.

4) ) While letting the clock run down as much as they did after the in-bonds catch certainly hurt the Colts' chances of getting into the end-zone instead of just settling for the field goal, it made absolute certain that Kyler Murray wasn't going to have a second left to pull something off on the other end ...... LITERALLY, not leaving him a single second to work with after the field goal.


Because of all of that, I think that Reich was doing the opposite of what he usually does, which is risk everything like a wild-man ...... and that may be a good sign of his positive evolution as a head coach.

this is a really terrible thread

Well, the title stinks, but it’s kind of cool to keep around and rub Chopped’s face in it.

Dude did a great job managing the game tonight. Tough gut it out win in the face of some ridiculous circumstances.

Think this crow tastes better than any of the turkey or ham I had tonight!

Chewy, if there’s one thing I love about you it’s how you can eat crow.

Most of the time, you ARE right (you were right about Roy Hall, you and I battled bitterly about him and you were one trillion percent right). You called that one (and many others) and I got nothing.

But I do know that when you call one wrong, you’re always man enough to admit it. More than so, so many can say.

Hope you had a great Christmas, brother.

One thing I know. Neutered, no leg, tongueless Urban Meyer does NOT win that game last night.

There you go folks, there you go. Yeah I told you so. This dude is a turd. Dead ender that will squander the amazing talents of Nelson, Leonard and Taylor.

This organization is NEVER going to do jack with this bum as the head cheese.
