(vs. JETS, 10/14)



The defense has not played as well in their last 2 games as they had in their first 4 games of the season.


However ........ the Jets scored 20 points off of 4 Colts turnovers, and another 3 off of a 5th turnover on downs (the Colts had no choice but to go for it on 4th down while deep in their own territory, because they were down by 12 points with less than 6 minutes left to play in the game.)

That's 23 out of the 42 points that they scored overall.


Even taking that consideration, I have seen a modest drop-off by the defense at-large since the 4th game. That wasn't overly concerning in regard to the game against Tom Brady and the Patriots, but it IS concerning in regard to the game against Matt Darnold and the Lets.

They did keep them out of the endzone quite a bit. But too many turnovers. Our offense has too many rookies at skill positions right now.

Yeah, believe it or not, the Colts actually had more touchdowns than the Jets did in this game (4 to 3.)

And one of those 3 Jets touchdowns was scored by the defense.

Again this team has zero depth, except at TE.

Autry and Hunt go down, and we have no pass rush
.
TY goes down, and he we have nobody that can consistently catch the ball or get deep.

Geathers and Farley go down, and we have no run stopping presence in the secondary.

Yes, utterly apparent today

No pass rush and this D is just bad

Which is not surprising, really, its what happens with Cover 2/Tampa 2 and zone coverage. It leaves holes and if you give the QB time, its easy to make the passes.

(vs. BILLS, 10/21)



The defense had an excellent 1st half, and was just as good in the 2nd.


We're almost halfway into the season, and the Colts' defense at-large has not had a really bad game yet ........ in the 7 individual games they have been either really good, pretty good, or (at worst) average.

I thought that the previous 2 weeks were average (at worst) for the reasons that I stated in my previous posts.

In the Jets game (for example), 23 of the 42 opponents' points were the result of Colts turnovers by their offense. They (the Colts' defense) also continually kept the Jets out of the end zone and forced them to settle for field goals time and again (they kicked 7 of them), in spite of being put in these holes by the offense.

(vs. RAIDERS, 10/28)



In my rat's ass of an opinion, this was the worst game of the season for the Colts' defense.

Even in the game against the Patriots, they played with more cohesion than they did today ........ they were instrumental in turning a potential 24-3 laugher at halftime into a competitive 24-17 game early in the 4th quarter by getting 3 consecutive stops against Tom Brady and company (including 1 INT.)




The defense today was extreme in all 7 Raiders drives while the outcome of the game was still in doubt.


On those 7 possession, the Raiders had:


4 TD's

2 Three-and-Outs

1 Fumble Recovery



The Raiders did have an 8th possession, but the Colts had a 14-point lead with just over 2 minutes left to play at that point. The Raiders got a couple of 1st downs against a Colts defense that was playing conservatively before turning the ball over on downs near midfield.
