Damn...Minshew deserves a lot of blame, but the OL is doing him no favors right now.

Why do we keep trying that WR screen?

I mean, they were down 13-31, which is 18 points. It's impossible to get more than 16 points on two possessions. A FG was definitely needed there. I don't think it's that debatable.

Would the Colts hold them scoreless and can they make a 2 point conversion? Probably not, but at the same time on that play you cut the number of possessions to two.

It's all a moot point though.

Steichen's team fights like a motherfucker- bodes well for the future!

That's making 2 very big assumptions.


A) ) The Colts would necessarily keep the Jaguars off of the scoreboard for the rest of the game.

B) ) The Colts would necessarily succeed on the 2-point conversion try after one of their touchdowns.


You can make the argument that they should have gone for the field goal, but I don't think that it was a no-brainer when taking into consideration how crappy the Colts have played on both sides of the ball today.

o

Lots of unforced errors today...this is a game the Colts could have won if they would have eliminated the turnovers!

I'm guessing that Anthony Richardson has mixed emotions about today's game ...... on one hand, he is a team player that wants the Colts to win ...... but on the other hand, watching his back-up shit the bed will make it a little bit easier for his eyes and ears, because there will be less calls for making Minshew the starter if and when Richardson comes back from his injury.

o

You shouldn’t listen to people that would make that call.

o


I don't.

But Richardson might. He is human, and he hears the criticism in regard to his allegedly foolish/reckless style of play, and/or his ability to be a solid, long-term starting NFL quarterback . He's played a total 4 NFL games, 2 of which he left with an injury.

o

This felt like a classic '22 Colts loss. 4 turnovers, limited QB, etc.

If he’s listening to outside voices like that and making decisions off it, he isn’t going to be a good QB

o


I agree with that general sentiment, that he needs to have a mind of his own, and to have mental toughness to make it in this league ...... but right this minute he is 22 years-old and likely going to miss the rest of the season with his injury. Other players in his situation (and at his age) have done things far more foolish than listening to the critics of their play. It would be naive to think that he has no secret feelings of relief watching Minshew play badly today.

Next time, just shut up and watch the game.

(THE COLTS' DEFENSE)



Possessions: lllllll) 12

Punts: llllllllllllllllllllllllllll 4

INT's: lllllllllllllllllllllllllll, 1

TD's: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, 4

FG's: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll) 3

o

I agree. Take the FG at that point in the game and cut it down to 2 scores. I thought Steichen made a similar bad call at the end of Game 1 when we were down by 10 and went for it on 4th down.

o


If they were down by 11, and a field goal cut it to 8, then I would agree. But being down by 18 points, I don't think that the field-goal is a no-brainer, for the reasons that I stated. It's just too large of a deficit to presume that everything would work out in their favor with the defense, which it didn't.

o

D on the title

I would give the same grade to the Colts for their 37-20 loss to the Jaguars.
