quick thoughts on the donkeys

[Kray007]

Okay, almost 24 hours later, and it’s time for everyone to turn off the gas and pull their heads out of the oven. No one is more disappointed with yesterday’s game than me. But, the cupboard is not dry and there is hope just over the horizon.

The defense played well, they throttled an offense that had begun to run on all eight cylinders. They took some of the gloss off Bo Nix and made him look like exactly what he is… a rookie. For a defense that specializes in making nondescript quarterbacks book like Dan Marino, that was a welcome sight.

The game, of course, hinged on Jonathan Taylor’s miscue. Calling it a miscue has a certain quality, almost like calling the Titanic, a minor traffic mishap. But, without a doubt in my mind, that play and the interception/fumble that was returned for a touchdown were the only things that stood between the Colts and victory.
