Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[ChristianPatriot]

Downs is a stud. Taylor is a stud. Steichen is a genius. Future is looking bright for the Colts.

Well, I'm going to give the Colts credit for this one. Nobody expected a win, but I sure didn't expect the refs to just hand it to Cleveland.

Some very bad calls today, especially the last few minutes.

Riddle me this; In the KC game Kelce catches the ball at the one yard line is clearly held up for a second or two but teammates came and pushed him and as he fell the ball crossed the plane of the goal line. My question is why is this play routinely ruled forward progress is stopped all over the field except at the goal line? This happens often with receivers and RB’s at the goal line. Don’t think there is anything in the rules that changes forward progress at the goal line.

It happens with quarterbacks when it's 4th and inches too.

So what did Gene Steratore have to say about the PI call on a pass that Wilt Chamberlain couldn't have caught?

Was he on air today? Pretty much all the announcers thought it was a bad call.

He said they rarely call uncatchable unless the ball is in the stands and implied it was in the gray area. He said the party line but did not seem enthusiastic about either call…

And I learned that when a receiver throws the defender to the ground, it's illegal contact by the defender.

I think they are trying to protect qbs

Wouldn’t blowing the play dead when forward progress stops protect the QB more?

Yes I misread the post.

Gigantic IF…

IF the Colts somehow are in the wildcard picture and miss out on the playoffs because the Browns have the head-to-head tie breaker….yikes.

I agree. The Eagles seem to use this to their advantage more than most.

The push play is not what I was going after. When forward progress is clearly stopped why do they play on at the goal line, when it is whistled down everywhere else?

As for the push play, you are right the eagles do it significantly better than the rest of the league. In fact they are successful 90% of the time compared to 55% for the rest of the league. The Giants injured two players in one push recently. The difference seems to me to be a QB that can squat 600#…
