Colts 2017.... Same old song and dance....

[halfmileharry]

Interesting fact: we canned Greg Manusky because our defense was so bad. He’s now the Defensive Coordinator in Washington and their defense is top 5.

Grigson got the OLD free agents and spent a fortune. D has no depth.

I didn't watch the game. I admit, I am not a die hard Colts fan. I am a fan but mostly just because it's the home team. But again the highlight reel and the interview with T.Y. lead me to my statement about the O line. Based on the clips I have seen they were absolutely man handled by Jax's D line. Chuck is a big part of the teams failures and shortcomings but he is not the only problem.

T.Y. has zero business throwing anyone under the bus. He should be far more concerned about his own inability to get open and all around weak play. He needs to follow the coaching staff out of town at the end of the season.

Now coach Robert Mathis has been picked up for DWI. If I was part of that team I would be drinking excessively also.

Apparently Mathis tested around .05, or reasonably well below the .08 legal limit. Yet the Carmel police deemed it necessary to arrest him and have him spend the night in jail. Will be interesting to see how this plays out - I suspect Mathis' attorney will be able to afford a new Mercedes with the fees he'll collect before this is over.

WRTV story said Mathis was incoherent, had trouble standing and said he had taken a sleeping aid in addition to having a drink. Hard to say what was in his system unless he had blood tested but police evidently felt he was not only incapable of driving but a hazard to his own safety.

So why charge him with OWI rather than allow him to call a friend/relative and get a ride home ?

These days it is all about putting you in the system.

The keyword in "OWI," which is of relevance here, is "intoxicated." That does not default to meaning only alcohol.

I remember a day when LEO would let you get home. But in this day and age of liability's etc you are going to spend the night and not at home.

You hit the nail on the head, "liability." I once took a gal home, who was drunk, a friend (I was off-duty). She gets home, has an argument with her boyfriend, gets in her car, drives off, and stacked it up. Now imagine if I had been on-duty, and given her a break. You can bet the first thing out of her mouth would have been "another officer stopped me, and let me go"....and then I'd at least be suspended, if not unemployed.

That pretty much sums it up. If you are driving in that condition you have already shown lack of good judgement. No one is responsible for bad decisions these days.
You would think our boys cell phone is full of numbers for folks that would come and get him regardless. I have a standing offer to most anyone (Most) with my cell number. If you are to drunk to drive then call me and I will come and get you. We can deal with your car tomorrow. You get 1 shot at this. repeat offenders will be bludgeoned.

It's become very obvious that Chudzinski is playing not to lose instead of winning. LOL!
As I say this Doyle catches a touchdown pass.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Well so far the only saving grace is that Cinci is playing as badly as we are.

 

[halfmileharry]

It's time for the implosion. Second half failures have been the norm this year.

They don't have much to implode FROM!

We should start a pool to see when the Colts fall apart in the 2nd half. It's gonna happen... just a matter of when.

I think somebody put Vaseline in TY's jar of stickum.

Obvious screen on 3rd and very long. Cincy blew it making the Colts look good.
How did Cincy become the #4 defense in the NFL?
