COLTS 2019; A New Hope, next year, again

[DoggyDaddy]

Man, I still can't get over how many teams are going for it on 4th and short now. That was a rarity up until the last year or two.

Analytics say they should do it even more...

My analytics say that Hoyer is a turd.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Now that was a BS call against Leonard. Freaking receiver had ahold of his facemask and they call unnecessary roughness on Leonard??

With two TD passes, I'll take a turd like that. Why do you say that? I admit I wasn't even aware of him until today.

That was 100% a home team call

20-16 Steelers. Not sure what else we can expect considering sooo many injuries on offense.

This has a great graphic for 4th down vs what coaches usually do.

Makes sense on paper, but he's a little more optimistic about converting than I am.

I have been in the shop all day making a living. Is it over yet. Are fat lady's singing and to whom.

So far the Colts have played poorly enough to lose a close one.
IF you have to blame the officials then you don't deserve to win.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Safety! That could be a game changer right there.

I'm not blaming the officials (except that call on Leonard). They've made some stupid mistakes just like they did last week. Up until then, they were one of the least penalized teams in the league.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Sonuva!! Get a safety and then blow the free kick return!

That is not opinion and optimism, it is statistical fact...

Well, it's a statistical basis for a strategy. As with anything involving humans, nothing is guaranteed. It's playing the odds, but you still have to execute.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yes!! Fumble! Now just capitalize guys!

Cardiac Colts football once again!
