Frankly I'd rather have a third active RB who could possibly be productive and use another guy for STs, but that's just me.

Plus, maybe I'm just imagining things, but I could have sworn I've seen Taylor/Hines/Mack all active on the same game together. Were Special Teams just not a priority then?

I don’t know this for sure, but could it be that Jackson is needed on special teams because Odum and Sendejo are both starting right now?

That would make sense.

I agree though that having Mack active would sure be nice.

Also, for the record, I fully expected a loss today. Arians is a good coach, the Bucs have a talented team, and, most importantly, you’re not gonna get any calls AT ALL against golden boy Brady.

That unnecessary roughness penalty on Sendejo was total bullshit. It was a quarterback sneak, for fucks sake. He was still moving forward and Sendejo hit him in the back, not the head.

In order to beat the Bucs and the refs today, we needed to dominate. We didn’t do that.

Agree that the running game wasn't going early on, but it did start to get some momentum going in the 2nd quarter before Reich decided to pull the plug on it for the game.

Either way, throwing the ball 26 straight times isn't a good idea for the Colts. Especially after they've turned it over a couple of times during that streak.

NOt making excuses for him, but your take is not exactly fair. One INT was on a desperation play, and the other looked like the defender grabbed Pittman's jersey to get into position. One of the fumbles was on Fisher getting beat by the defender. I don't recall the other fumble. Wentz wasn't perfect, but he wasn't the reason we lost today.

The other fumble was when he scrambled for some yardage, dove forward and took a hit. He lost the ball but regained it himself. I hold my breath every time he runs because you know he won't slide.

The only Colt game I got to watch this season was the 2nd half and I go away pissed off. I hate that.

That probably did come off too harsh. Was just trying to make that point that not having a more balanced attack and throwing every single play will eventually catch up with us like it did yesterday.

I just found out why ...... the Colts were honoring him as a franchise legend, in addition to doing so for Robert Mathis.




The team also honored Hall-of-Famer Lenny Moore during the first half. The running back played for the Baltimore Colts from 1956-67, winning 2 championships (1958 & ’59.) His jersey number 24 is one of eight retired by the franchise.

All of it was planned ahead of time ...... the Colts were wearing throwback uniforms from the late 1950's, honoring those teams.
