You can argue that kicking the field goal was the right decision, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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