I don't feel nearly as bad about that loss after a night's sleep and the realization that the Colts played about as well as possible, there was no lack of effort, especially by the defense. Andrews is a beast and the Colts had no answer for him last night...if Blankenship is healthy the Colts win this game, but the schedule gets a little easier, winning 4 of the next 5 could still give this team a chance to make the playoffs...I haven't given up on this season yet!

I am with you... I also say if we had better coaching decisions this team is no worse than 3-2 right now... Players are giving it their all then you put them in a position to lose by calling the worst plays.

Reich is easily one of the worse game day coaches in the league.

Kinda wonder what the board would be posting had Rodrigo made the game winning FG with 6 seconds remaining.

That they almost let it slip away. They deserved to win that game. Ravens looked uninspired.

That he bailed the Colts out despite bad coaching.... Can't deny that they have been bad...

After a half a day to reflect on this game, it just was a perfect mix of sucky circumstances.

A kicker who was hurt (I think anyway, but also a kicker who doesn't have much power even when he's healthy)

A secondary decimated by injuries

Pretty conservative playcalling down the stretch and poor clock management at the end (to me, the risk of the Ravens running out of time vs. the reward of having more time to get a FG is heavy on the side of having more time to get into FG range, or even possibly a TD)

So while I'm still irritated with Reich, he was dealt a lousy hand with the first two cards there.

Okay, we get it. You have no faith in the coaching staff.
