The Colts' Defense, 2024 Season

[Colts And Orioles]

o


(vs. JETS, 11/17)



On several occasions in the 2nd half, the Colts' offense put the Colts' defense in precarious positions (one turnover deep in their own territory, an ineffective offense punting deep in their own territory and giving the Jets good field position.)

On the other hand, the defense gave up several 3rd-and-longs in crucial situations.


The Time-of-Possession was greatly in the Colts' favor (67 plays-from-scrimmage for the Colts, 52 plays-from-scrimmage for the Jets), which also may have helped the Colts' defense.




Possessions: lllllllllllllllllllllll) 12

Punts: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 5

Turnover on Downs: llllll,t 1

Clock Ran Out: lllllllllllllllllll) 1

FG: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.OOOO)))t 2

TD: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,OOOOO) 3

Our D had a very good performance going against one of the worst Os in the league for about 1 1/3 quarters. Then they turned into a complete shit show and were pretty well dominated by said terrible O.

It was a tale of 2 halves, with the 1st half being being excellent (minus the final 2 minutes in which the Jets scored their first points of the game), and the 2nd half being awful.

That said, there were multiple occasions in the 2nd half in which the Colts' offense put the Colts' defense in precarious situations, and played a large part in 10 out of the 20 points that the Jets scored in the 2nd half ...... one of the Jets' TD drives started at the Colts' 25-yardline, and one of the Jets' FG "drives" consisted of 3 plays for -2 yards which started at the Colts' 38-yardline.

Did you even watch the first 25 minutes dude? Rogers was throwing passes like he wanted to get his receivers killed. The Jests offense looked like it was being run by a minor league, washed up QB. Which they were.

I'm not going to say the Colts didn't at least play legitimate NFL defense during that period. But it was far from excellent.

I thought that the Colts' defense hung in there against an excellent offense, but they were not great, which is what the team needed for a chance to win.

Defense played admirably despite the Bradley scheme and the amount of time they had to be on the field today.
