The reason they lost was the turnovers. Turnovers will kill your chances no matter what you do.

That said, I think we could have mitigated our turnovers if we had sprinkles in the run. By becoming predictable I think they allowed TB to concentrate on passrush with their speed. We have one good receiver and then it’s iffy after that. I would force us to pass all the time if I was the opposing team.

I just can’t agree with that argument. Only one of the turnovers would have possibly been affected by that. Pascals fumble, Hines fumble, and the first interception had nothing to do with pressure. The last interception was a Hail Mary where Wentz was flushed from the pocket by a 3 man rush, but still not really applicable. So only the strip sack. But every RPO the team ran became a pass because TB was dead set in stopping the run - both in alignment and after the snap. That doesn’t fit the narrative of a team no longer concerned with the run. They were so concerned with the run that they sold out to stop it. Colts players just made too many bad plays.

Great call out on the WR's. Frank isn't necessarily working with Randy, Jerry, and Marvin out there but we still throw it 26 straight times?

Goes to show you exactly how good the play calls were against one of the better teams in the league. They had no problem moving the ball against a good defense with admittedly a poor receiving corp.

Did you die and get reincarnated as Dam with a spam account? This is so weird. Chuck is Dam's dad, so are you like a half-brother / sister, where Chuck and Frank bedded the same woman but you grew up in different cities?

We're all familiar with the historically absurd fake-punt against the New England Patriots, which was the worst trick-play call in the history of mankind.


In light of the fact that the Colts' next opponent is the Patriots, I wouldn't mind seeing them try to redeem their reputation in regard to said trick plays with a version of this little ditty against the men from eastern Massachusetts ......
