COLTS 2019; A New Hope, next year, again

[churchmouse]

And this is why I conveniently forgot about this game.

Needing 2 pts conversion may be a blessing.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

TD!! Now we've got to get the 2 point conversion, which may be a better bet than relying on Vinatieri, like foszoe said!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yes!!! OT!!!

 

[halfmileharry]

Yes!!! OT!!!

Don't count the chickens just yet

 

[Dr.Midnight]

Yes!!! OT!!!

Anything over thirty seconds in the NFL is an eternity.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Anything over thirty seconds in the NFL is an eternity.

10 minutes is even longer. Gotta keep them out of the end zone...

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Well crap.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

You know what though, they hung in there until the very end, and past the very end. I'm not really discouraged. Disappointed, sure, but not discouraged.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Man. Defense just ran out of gas.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Brissett looked solid. This one falls on defense and special teams.

 

[halfmileharry]

Well crap.

Maybe BUT... Colts on the road against a NFL powerhouse. Not a perfect game but lots of positives.
Positive #1... Colts didn't quit. Even down they kept fighting back.
I got more than I expected from this game.
Colts will be better than I expected.
I also love the fact the Colts had an excellent run game.
Yea, there's Hope.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Man. Defense just ran out of gas.

I do agree with this. But special teams really let us down tonight. That's my main criticism. AV missing 3 kicks in one game?? That's more than he usually misses in a season! Something ain't right there...

I think we're on the same page Harry!

 

[foszoe]

I blame Viniterry

What's not right here was shown last year from AV. This isn't the only bad game he's had. I hope he pulls it together. The outcome might have been different if he'd done his job.

You're right. There were chinks in his armor showing up last year.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I think overall the Colts did well. If Vinatieri had made any 1 of those missed the kicks they would've had that one.

 

[Spear Dane]

This is a good team. Maybe not Super Bowl caliber but I can see us in the playoffs.

+1

"Briskett" was 21 of 27 190 yards 2TDs and a 120.7 pass rating. DT Tyquan Lewis, (2nd round pick), didn't even suit up. Special teams, normally solid for the Colts, lost us this game. The Chargers are in the top 6 teams with the best odds to win the SB. So I'm feeling good about the playoffs, and keeping SB hopes as a remote but not impossible wish.
