I 100% agree. I didn't say otherwise. I know we're close...very close in fact. That's why this team is our "almost" team. Of course, I kind of felt that way last year, but Brissett was clearly a backup QB. We upgraded to a 39 year old vet QB who was elite 5 years ago and won 11 games. However, due to his age, the lack of a true #1 WR, and the youth and gaps on our defense, it wasn't quite enough.

We aren't that far away, which makes this even more frustrating. It also stems from Luck's unexpected retirement. I'm mostly over it, but this is the first playoff game we've had since his unexpected retirement and I can't help but think that we'd be a 13-3 or 14-2 elite team if we had Luck this season. We are so close to being that, but now we're still scrambling trying to find a QB that can fill that void. The rest of the team is better than when we had Luck, but QB play has obviously regressed a great deal.

Diggs needs to go back to Minny

Holy shit we wasted a challenge on that? And now the td.
See you on draft day I guess

Game over

It's hard to say a coach should go after an 11-5 season, but damn, Reich looks incompetent today.

Time to start looking at draft sites!!!

24-10, Bills.

I think that the Chiefs are rooting for the Bills to hang on and win at this point ...... I think that they may shit their pants (just a little) if the Colts come back and win this one.


That said, 2 TD's and an OT win is a long-shot for the Colts at this point.

TD drive is critical here. Quickly.

If the Colts had Josh Allen, they'd be a SB favorite.

Ah hell. Disappointed? Yes. Surprised? No. I think this will be a very interesting off season. At least we have a solid nucleus. Missing a couple important pieces but I trust our GM to get it done.

Hines showing heart there.

Maybe that play sparks us

I didn't expect them to win this game, and there's still time left.

I just hate the dumb decisions and bad execution.

Red zone! Need a TD

Phil bouncing balls. C'mon man

Yeah. Of course this could be said of several teams. We need better than Rivers but can succeed with less than Allen if we had better coaching.

This is 4 down territory, but never mind that,

Amazing what you can accomplish if your QB is accurate.

Not much clock used there

Agreed. Inexcusable honestly

Great drive there

TD Pascal. Fast. Exactly what we needed. Let's get a turnover!

Great response. Come on Thorgrim, perfect time to call for a turnover.

Turnover please

that was a throw away

I prefer a defensive score

Lol as I was typing

Wtf?

I don't understand going for two.

Why?

o

He needed to bounce that one ......... it stopped the clock, and avoided the sack. Even if that pass had been completed, it probably would not have been worth it to gain only 2 or 3 yards and have the clock continue running.

o

Yeah, that's mostly where a lot of my frustration comes from. With Luck right now, this is a top 2-3 team in the NFL if all else on our roster is the same. This Colts roster with Allen or Watson is a SB favorite. Hell, I'm not so sure we maybe couldn't become that with a Wentz/Riech reunion.

Why?

Hey Reich, fuck off. That was stupid to a level that's hard to comprehend.

Not chasing a point, so that is a bad idea by Frank

Why didnt they just kick it? It literally doesnt make sense or strategic advantage

I haven’t been too good with my personal wishes this year but the crystal ball hasn’t been too shabby.

wHY ALWAYS THE CUTE STUFF?

Okay so not only do we need a qb we also need a new coach

Now we have to win despite the refs and out own fkn coach.

Is this game fixed?
