Official Packers Colts game day thread

Indianapolis Colts lead series 24-21-1

Last time the Packers won was 2008.

Malik "Watcha talking bout" Willis leads the Pack to a home loss in his starting debut.

Indy 24 - GB 13

A boring game day starter to match what will be a sad and inefficient Packers offense. At least I'll be one and done.

A boring game day starter to match what will be a sad and inefficient Packers offense. At least I'll be one and done.

Malik & Company look miserable much of the time, but hit on enough big plays to eke one out. Nards hits a big one to put GB up by four, and the defense holds on.

No, wait. In the midst of the miserable offense, Indy gets a safety, too. So Nards hits the go-ahead FG, and THEN the defense holds on.

Wally Pipp time?

Packers 31

[MadtownPacker]

Way to go Sparky!! That kinda doubt has shades of Bretsky’s reverse whammy.

Packers 26 - Colts 21

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[Fosco33]

I think Willis will throw for like 150-175 yards and probably scramble a lot for a couple first downs. We’ll lean on running and short throws so expect RBs and Reed to play a big role.

Not sure our defense has any real leaders or identity. Gary, Preston, Jaire, etc all were pretty blah. Clark was held in check week 1.

I could see Jonathan Taylor with 125 yards and 2 TDs.

Not going to predict a home opener loss (as the Bears can win without a QB (week 1) then anyone can) but not going to predict a win. We just need ST and Defense to play great. If not - it’ll be a long couple weeks and chance of a wasted season.

[bobblehead]

Mad, you'll love this. It seems Willis has really connected with Doubs so far (sound familiar?). I forget who (wicks I think) tweeted that Willis has hit Doubs for like 400 yards this week. Sweet.

Ok, I've opined on Willis being much better than we have seen in the past (pure speculation outside fake games this year). I've opined the MiLF is smart enough to give him favorable situations. Now I'll opine that 20 will win this game. Can he get us 20? Who knows.

So the difference between holding the Eagles to 34 and the Colts to 13 isn't as significant as most fans think. I actually rewatched the game and really liked a lot of things I saw from our D. Once Jaire realized that AJ Brown wasn't gonna be like "OMG....You're Jaire....will you sign my cleats?" he played much better. He left a pick 6 on the field that left Hurts owing AJ a nice steak dinner. Our D made mistakes for sure, but the flags did them no favors.

Pack 20 Colts 13. I hope Willis shows the arm I saw on a few summer fake game throws. Doubs with a century. Defense with 2 takeaways. That post where I asked to revisit Jones vs. Jacobs in week 17 ages really fast. Jacobs with a big game.

[Teamcheez1]

I like the optimism, but I have visions of Brett Hundley 2.0.
If the offense can’t muster some points and time of possession, the defense will be ground down late in the game.
No prediction, but we desperately need this team to show some life and get a home win

[red]

love targeting a week 5 return

that sucks

gonna miss the easiest part of our schedule. 3 easy wins is probably going to be 3 losses

[Sparkey]

Packer inactives:
QB Jordan Love
S Kitan Oladapo
DL Brenton Cox Jr.
T Andre Dillard
T Travis Glover
DL Colby Wooden

[red]

i can't help but keep thinking about the fact that the titans gave up willis for nothing, after spending a 3rd round pick on him just 2 years ago, all while having a current starting QB that completely sucks

[Sparkey]

If you've hitched your ride to Will Levis, then eliminate any QB controversy with the guy drafted later in the same draft.

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!!

[Joemailman]

i can't help but keep thinking about the fact that the titans gave up willis for nothing, after spending a 3rd round pick on him just 2 years ago, all while having a current starting QB that completely sucks

So you're saying they sometimes make bad decisions regarding quarterbacks? Maybe giving up on Willis was another one. The reality is every organization makes bad decisions at quarterback.

I have no idea if Willis is ready. But I'm not that worried about his failures when thrown into the starting lineup as a rookie. He has far better weapons around him than he had at Tennessee.

[Joemailman]

Here's the full list of inactives:

Green Bay Packers


10 QB Jordan Love
27 S Kitan Oladapo
57 DL Brenton Cox Jr.
73 T Andre Dillard
79 T Travis Glover
96 DL Colby Wooden

Indianapolis Colts

1 WR Josh Downs
4 QB Sam Ehlinger (third QB)
32 S Julian Blackmon
60 G Tanor Bortolini
73 T Blake Freeland
86 TE Will Mallory
92 DE Genard Avery

[ThunderDan]

10 men in the box for Indy.

[Joemailman]

Nice touchback!

[beveaux1]

Nice run by Jacobs.

[ThunderDan]

Jacobs just carried 3 Colts 2 extra yards. Amazing what you can do when you don’t slip.

[Fritz]

Here's the full list of inactives:

Green Bay Packers

My oh my, what a comedown for the likes of Colby Wooden, Brenton Cox, and Andre Dillard.

[ThunderDan]

Lloyd shows a huge burst.

We can’t have stupid penalties. Two in a row on O.

[run pMc]

JFC STOP WITH THE PENALTIES

[ThunderDan]

Wow, Packers running well against a team that knows they are going to run a lot.

[run pMc]

No flags! FINALLY

[Fosco33]

Slow the game and dominate ToP and line of scrimmage.

[ThunderDan]

Wilson completely missed his block and the pass goes for no yardage.

[run pMc]

Cmon Narv dog make this

[beveaux1]

We won't be shut out!!

[ThunderDan]

Nards!!!!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Alvarez coaching the Packers now? Ice, ice baby, the offense is Vanilla Ice.

[Fritz]

Nards!!!!!!

Okay, this is maddening. I don't have cable, so I sucked it up and paid the big $$$ for Sling and Peacock, thinking I'd get the Packers' games. But no. And FirstRowSports no longer works.

So I either follow you guys and your panicked posts, or I go to the bar.

I am however cleaning my kitchen.

Damn!

[ThunderDan]

Great start by the D. 3 and out.

[beveaux1]

Nice coverage by McDuffie

[ThunderDan]

Nice motion and swing pass.

[ThunderDan]

Packers really got the drafting of Reed right.

[ThunderDan]

Great juke and first down run by Jacobs.

[Fritz]

I suppose this is why they signed Jacobs. He can be the horse.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Not complaining with production but damn, I ain’t seen smash mouth futbol since Alvarez was coaching.

[ThunderDan]

Aaron who?

[MadScientist]

Fucking flags.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, holding.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck!

[ThunderDan]

A lot of movement and misdirection on runs.

[ThunderDan]

Wicks with the TD.

Looked like pick 6 when it was thrown.

[beveaux1]

Willis to Wicks TD!!

[ThunderDan]

Extra point blocked but still fluttered through the uprights.

[Joemailman]

MLF calling a masterclass so far.

[MadtownPacker]

Extra point blocked but still fluttered through the uprights.
Would it have missed if not blocked?

[Fritz]

Jordan Who, you mean!

I am following on NFL.com and I see that Rasheed Walker is once again called for holding. That dude needs to get his shit straight or they'll be moving Morgan to tackle and Sean Rhyan will have to play RG. What happened to the steady Walker of the last half of last season?

[MadScientist]

All that running and finally they do a real pass and its a touchdown. This is old time run to set up the pass offense.

The Packers have 135 rushing yards and 149 total yards. Not a bad quarter, just usually the rush and pass yards the other way around.

[ThunderDan]

Pick of Richardson by McKinney.

[beveaux1]

McKinney Int!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pick, pick, baby, too hot, too hot.

[Joemailman]

X!

[red]

well then

this is something

[ThunderDan]

Would it have missed if not blocked?

Would have been good. Indy got a good push up the middle.

[Fritz]

Damn, Mckinney earning his keep!

[MadtownPacker]

Worth every penny McKinney.

[MadScientist]

McKinney earning that contract.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

MLF calling a masterclass so far.

Masterclass? More like middle school. I ain’t seen this much rushing since Ron Dayne was playing at Wisconsin.

[Fosco33]

That little draw thing is working

[ThunderDan]

Masterclass? More like middle school. I ain’t seen since this much rushing since Ron Dayne was playing at Wisconsin.

Let’s see. You’re starting your 2nd string QB who has been on the team for less than 20 days. Let’s throw it all over the field.

/sarcasm

[beveaux1]

OL doing a great job. Jacobs looks like an all pro.

[smuggler]

Kraft blocks like a demon.

[ThunderDan]

Great use of tempo to get an easy 7 yard out and first down.

[MadScientist]

Kraft blocks like a demon.

He's the most complete TE they've had since Chewy.

[ThunderDan]

Great run by Willis. But please slide at the end and don’t take hits.

[Fritz]

Well, can they punch it in?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Let’s see. You’re starting your 2nd string QB who has been on the team for less than 20 days. Let’s throw it all over the field.

/sarcasm

It’s not like Brooks Fucking Bollinger is out there. How about some play actions bombs?

[MadScientist]

Fuck!

[Fritz]

It’s not like Brooks Fucking Bollinger is out there. How about some play actions bombs?

How the F___ can you complain about this start??

[beveaux1]

First big mistake.

[red]

that hurts

[Fritz]

Cut Jacobs now!!

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, fumble by Jacobs.

Got it some how hope when the review the turnover that he was somehow across the goal line.

Just wishful dreaming. He was way short of the TD.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

How the F___ can you complain about this start??

I wouldn’t if they weren’t pooping out rocks.

[Rutnstrut]

Like I said last week. Jacobs is way overrated.

[ThunderDan]

That is a horrible roughing call.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Refs hate Vanilla Ice, aka, Van Ness.

[ThunderDan]

Good close by McDuffie on the pass.

[beveaux1]

Tackling has been better.

[ThunderDan]

That was a lucky bounce of off Reeds hands.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Joe Fucking Mailman, quit pooping out rocks!

[Fritz]

The pithy NFL.com

"J. Reed MUFFS catch"

[ThunderDan]

The pithy NFL.com

"J. Reed MUFFS catch"

That’s being kind in my opinion.

[beveaux1]

We need the D.

[MadtownPacker]

If you asked us how about 10-0 before the half we would have cried yes.

[bobblehead]

I can't believe I'm about to type this. Given the gameplan Rhyan needs to get all the snaps at RG.

[Teamcheez1]

Is zero passing game sustainable?

Maybe for one game

[smuggler]

Willis has been on target, they just haven't asked him to do much. Would be a different story under different circumstances. Might not be so sharp next week, though.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Is zero passing game sustainable?

Maybe for one game

This is the NFL. It’s only sustainable for one quarter.

[Fritz]

Willis has been on target, they just haven't asked him to do much. Would be a different story under different circumstances. Might not be so sharp next week, though.

Maybe MLF is setting all this up so after a first-down run for five next series, he has Willis roll out and throw da bomb.

[beveaux1]

Maybe MLF is setting all this up so after a first-down run for five next series, he has Willis roll out and throw da bomb.

Maybe.

[Fritz]

Looks like Enagbare stepping up for a run stop.

The passing line for Willis is going to look like something from the 70's.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

If you asked us how about 10-0 before the half we would have cried yes.

I cried it’s not 17-0.

[beveaux1]

I think we'd be very happy if we never reached double figures in passes for the game.

[MadScientist]

The Indy receiver proves the gloves aren't the same as stickum.

[ThunderDan]

Good thing the Indy WR can’t catch.

[Patler]

Not watching the game until tonight, but Jacob with 117 yards in 1st half!

[bobblehead]

Now run the clock to 40 before you start the 2 minute.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Frog playing not to lose again.

[Fosco33]

Running that prevent offense we all love

[ThunderDan]

Perfect first half except for the fumble.

You couldn’t have drawn up a better 1st half.

[King Friday]

So far the Colts have shit all over themselves. May it continue.

[bobblehead]

Or surrender entirely

[Fritz]

That was a conservative end-of-half sequence. Not even one bomb attempt? Or is MLF saving that?

Defense appears to be playing well, yes? Or does Richardson just look lost? Or both?

[Teamcheez1]

Cautiously optimistic
10-0 is unexpected and don’t expect it to last.
We’ll see who makes better adjustments for the second half.

[ThunderDan]

What I wonder is.. we don’t see this much creativity in the run game every other week.

Why does Love going out cause MLF to do this? Imagine this run game with Love slinging the rock.

[beveaux1]

Cautiously optimistic
10-0 is unexpected and don’t expect it to last.
We’ll see who makes better adjustments for the second half.

We really can't adjust offensively with our QB. The question is...can the Colts adjust defensively and offensively.

[Sparkey]

Colts receive 2nd half kickoff. I'd be shocked if the Colts don't load the box on D in the 2nd half.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Not watching the game until tonight, but Jacob with 117 yards in 1st half!

And a dumb rock excrement that costed Pack at least 6 points.

[Joemailman]

Neither team has taken a real deep shot yet. Might see that off play action pretty soon.

[ThunderDan]

A 3 and out by the D would be a great start to the 2nd half.

[ThunderDan]

Also, when was the last time our D held a team scoreless in the 1st half?

[Joemailman]

Still seems weird seeing a kicker wearing #44.

[ThunderDan]

Not a 3 and out. But a stop on 4th down.

[beveaux1]

MCDuffie was going to blow that up anyway.

[King Friday]

Still shitting.

[Joemailman]

Giving up 11 on 3rd and 16 reminded me of last year. Glad they stopped them on 4th.

[ThunderDan]

The announcers were talking about Richardsons big arm and greatest throw ever in NFL history last week.

If he can’t hit a wide open RB in the flat instead of throwing it too high, he won’t be in the NFL for long.

[smuggler]

That play probably doesn't pick up the first down even if it's a good throw.

[Fritz]

Hell, they did the job.

My hope is that Willis is getting more comfortable with each snap, and he can complete some passes here and there. You start putting 8 or 9 in the box on defense, at some point the offense has to try the forward pass.

[King Friday]

We have to be able to throw at least 3-4 patterns.

[ThunderDan]

Great check down throw.

[Sparkey]

Colts starting to sell out on early run downs.

[Fritz]

I can't watch the game, so I see ""M. Willis pass short right to T. Kraft for 17 yards."

I assume that Kraft did the bulk of the work there, then.

However, it's easy to interpret Jacobs -5 yards...

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Playing not to lose usually doesn’t end well.

[ThunderDan]

I can't watch the game, so I see ""M. Willis pass short right to T. Kraft for 17 yards."

I assume that Kraft did the bulk of the work there, then.

However, it's easy to interpret Jacobs -5 yards...

Threw it about 6 yards and Kraft made a guy miss.

[Teamcheez1]

Playing for a FG.

[beveaux1]

I understand it, but didn't love it.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I can't watch the game, so I see ""M. Willis pass short right to T. Kraft for 17 yards."

I assume that Kraft did the bulk of the work there, then.

However, it's easy to interpret Jacobs -5 yards...

You ain’t missing much. Offensively, the Packers are playing boring smashmouth conservative futbol. As a Michigan grad, I’m sure you’re used to exotic passing offenses, not the boring shit Alvarez ran at Wisconsin.

[beveaux1]

Offense doesn't have the element of surprise anymore. Defense needs to keep playing.

[ThunderDan]

Ok D, time to make a play.

[run pMc]

UGH, stop him. Taylor IS their offense right now.

[Sparkey]

Momentum swing here.

[ThunderDan]

Good job stepping up D.

[beveaux1]

Van Ness with a good play, but if Richardson didn't screw up, that might have been a TD. Van Ness gave up the edge.

[Fritz]

So far, the D is doing the job.

But MLF has to show off his mad skills now, change it up to get this Packer offense going.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Whoever said the Frog is calling a masterclass game plan, ha!

This is the the fucking NFL. Fuck that boring shit!

[Sparkey]

MLF being predictable and ultra conservative.

[Sparkey]

Myers is an idiot.

[Fritz]

It sure looks like Indy made some halftime adjustments, and Green Bay did not.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

MLF being predictable and ultra conservative.

Someone said he’s calling master class.

[bobblehead]

Ok. We've done everything right so far gameplan wise. They are now selling out to stop short stuff. Gotta take some shots.

[Fritz]

I grew up watching Bo Schembecler growl "Run the football."

It worked against weaker opponents, but I think his bowl record was like 1 - 216.

[beveaux1]

MLF being predictable and ultra conservative.

Not any real choice. As long as we lead, you're going to see run first, second, and third.

[Joemailman]

Someone said he’s calling master class.

I said so far.:-D

[ThunderDan]

What a punt. 66 yards and fair catch.

[beveaux1]

Massive punt. Now play D.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck you Quay. When you run that play you got to make that tackle.

Got dumped with half a stiff arm.

[Teamcheez1]

Maybe we should focus on Taylor?

[beveaux1]

We didn't defend the run in the first game, we aren't defending this game.

Realistically, we chose to take away Hurts running, this game we chose Richardson.

[ThunderDan]

Great D there.

[ThunderDan]

They missed the FG. Pack still up 2 scores.

[beveaux1]

Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good.

[beveaux1]

Here comes our running game to run clock.

[Joemailman]

Colts D has gotten very aggressive. Something should be open downfield

[Fosco33]

Packers D and ST playing decent.

Fumbled TD sorta offset my the the missed FG.

Offense needs to get back in gear. Need to get to 20

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I said so far.:-D

Still no play action bomb.

[ThunderDan]

With all the running, this game is going fast.

[Sparkey]

DOUBS!

[ThunderDan]

Doubs with a circus catch.

[beveaux1]

There we go!

[MadtownPacker]

Oh Romeo oh Romeo!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Give me Love or give me death! I’m sick of this boring, smash-mouth shit!

[Fosco33]

Mad, you'll love this. It seems Willis has really connected with Doubs so far (sound familiar?). I forget who (wicks I think) tweeted that Willis has hit Doubs for like 400 yards this week. Sweet.

Ok, I've opined on Willis being much better than we have seen in the past (pure speculation outside fake games this year). I've opined the MiLF is smart enough to give him favorable situations. Now I'll opine that 20 will win this game. Can he get us 20? Who knows.

So the difference between holding the Eagles to 34 and the Colts to 13 isn't as significant as most fans think. I actually rewatched the game and really liked a lot of things I saw from our D. Once Jaire realized that AJ Brown wasn't gonna be like "OMG....You're Jaire....will you sign my cleats?" he played much better. He left a pick 6 on the field that left Hurts owing AJ a nice steak dinner. Our D made mistakes for sure, but the flags did them no favors.

Pack 20 Colts 13. I hope Willis shows the arm I saw on a few summer fake game throws. Doubs with a century. Defense with 2 takeaways. That post where I asked to revisit Jones vs. Jacobs in week 17 ages really fast. Jacobs with a big game.

Good call bobble

[Guiness]

Decent throw by Willis, amazing grab by Doubs!!!

[smuggler]

Gute not looking like a madman for the Willis swap.

[Fritz]

Nards again!

[ThunderDan]

Nards again!

Love those Nards.

[beveaux1]

Time for the D to make a quick stop.

[MadScientist]

We are well into the 4th and both teams have more rushing yards than passing. And Willis has only 10 fewer passing yards than Richardson.

[Fritz]

Cue the Steve Sabol voice on NFL films:

"The say NFL football is a game of adjustments."

Cut to Josh Jacobs running through tackle after tackle for a nine yard gain.

"But sometimes, it is simply a game for tough men."

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Where the fuck is Stokes?

[MadScientist]

Wilson!

[beveaux1]

Wilson Int.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible throw by Richardson. Threw it right to Wilson.

[ThunderDan]

Time for the D to make a quick stop.

Good call.

[Fritz]

Still, credit to Wilson that he didn't drop it.

Okay, now let's see MLF earn his keep. His defense is balling out, and he's got nine minutes to play keep away, or score, or both.

Willis to Doubs. Cool.

[ThunderDan]

Musgrave didn’t fall over and ran through contact for an extra 2 yards.

[Fritz]

Big play here. Third and five.

Gotta get that first down, keep the time ticking off that clock. And you've got to get points now, so two TD's by Indy doesn't sink you.

[ThunderDan]

One more first down and the game is over.

[Fritz]

Come on guys. Man up. At least one more first down here.

[Fritz]

Just no turnover here! And no sack!

[ThunderDan]

One block from a TD on the QB draw.

[Guiness]

Does anyone know what happened with that 3rd and long play that the pack made a decent gain but were penalized and it was declined? Feed went to commercial and when it came back pack was running a 3rd down play.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck Nards sucks.

[MadScientist]

This is why you don't depend on kickers. Make the passes and get into the endzone.

[ThunderDan]

Does anyone know what happened with that 3rd and long play that the pack made a decent gain but were penalized and it was declined? Feed went to commercial and when it came back pack was running a 3rd down play.

Indy actually accepted the penalty.

[beveaux1]

took 6 minutes off the clock and Colts used 1 TO.

[Fritz]

Fucking Nards! You idiot!

That changes things. He hits that and Indy needs two TD's and two two-point conversions.

Shit.

[run pMc]

Does anyone know what happened with that 3rd and long play that the pack made a decent gain but were penalized and it was declined? Feed went to commercial and when it came back pack was running a 3rd down play.

Ineligible man downfield on Myers. 2nd time Myers got dinged. That's the one where Buckner got his ankle rolled up on IIRC.

And Narv-Dog misses. FUCK that would've been an almost-dagger.

[Teamcheez1]

New kicker not much better than old kicker.

[beveaux1]

New kicker not much better than old kicker.

Same-o same-o.

[Fosco33]

I miss carlson

[Teamcheez1]

This game plan works once.
Teams will take all the easy stuff away starting next week.

[Joemailman]

Tyler Goodson sighting!

[MadScientist]

Nice defense by the Lambeau turf.

[red]

Does anyone know what happened with that 3rd and long play that the pack made a decent gain but were penalized and it was declined? Feed went to commercial and when it came back pack was running a 3rd down play.

it was a hold or something

if it had been declined it would have been 4th and 2, so they changed their mind during the break and accepted it making it like 3rd and 20-something

[Guiness]

I miss carlson

No. No you don't :razz:

[ThunderDan]

This game should be wrapped up at this point. Indy still hanging around.

[red]

i still wonder about that addition in the south endzone, is that somehow screwing with the kicking in that end?

[Fritz]

That miss made all the difference.

Might have to change his name to "'Tard."

[MadScientist]

Waste of a challenge. Gives Indy time to plan their next play.

[ThunderDan]

A complete waste of a challenge. What did they even see to do that?

[Teamcheez1]

Our famous prevent defense.
It has a long tradition in Green Bay.

[Guiness]

What's up with Taylor? Odd time for him to be on the sideline

Going to lose thus challenge

[red]

indy has done us a huge faror today by dropping almost every ball thrown today

[Fritz]

MLF - masterclass in the first half, clownshow in the second.

nards, you fuckin' idjit!

[ThunderDan]

Clark finally did something this game.

[red]

MLF - masterclass in the first half, clownshow in the second.

nards, you fuckin' idjit!

we probably ran out of trick run plays by halftime

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Clark finally did something this game.

Once. In. A. Blue. Moon. Overpaid.

[beveaux1]

A complete waste of a challenge. What did they even see to do that?

Cause he didn't want to end the game with 2 challenges. Made no real difference.

[red]

what the fuck is clark doing on that play, we he dropped into coverage?

[ThunderDan]

Ughhh. Need to field the onside kick.

[Sparkey]

Keison Nixon guarding grass on that touchdown.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fire the overpaid Italian ST coach is the coverage team fucks up the onside.

[King Friday]

Defense again meh in crunch time.

[Fritz]

How the hell does an onside kick work with these new kickoff rules?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Keison Nixon guarding grass on that touchdown.

Richardson is a threat to run. Blame the dumb call.

[Guiness]

Unfuckingbelievable

[red]

Ughhh. Need to field the onside kick.

does that even a thing anymore with the new kick rules?

how the hell does this work?

[red]

well that was just a waste of time

[Fritz]

Fire the overpaid Italian ST coach is the coverage team fucks up the onside.

I would say he's been given a lot of paycheck and has not produced much to justify all that moolah. They're not a train wreck, but they're not good.

[ThunderDan]

We were going to get a delay penalty after a timeout. Had to take our last timeout.

[Fritz]

Come on MLF. Earn your reputation. Dial something up that gets us a first down.

Don't turtle out like McCarthy did in Seattle.

[ThunderDan]

Now we don’t have a time out remaining if something silly comes up because of the challenge.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I would say he's been given a lot of paycheck and has not produced much to justify all that moolah. They're not a train wreck, but they're not good.

Kicker cost the team a few games last season, including the Divisional game. Deport that coach back to Italy for all I care.

[red]

I would say he's been given a lot of paycheck and has not produced much to justify all that moolah. They're not a train wreck, but they're not good.

i'm sorry. but i'm old enough to remember our old coverage and return units before he came to town

KEEP HIM, and pay him

we have kickers that hit 80% of the time

that is average in the NFL

[King Friday]

Wish we had a kicker.

[red]

Now we don’t have a time out remaining if something silly comes up because of the challenge.

yeah, i was thinking the same thing when we were just pissing them away for no reason

[King Friday]

Rush 2, drop 9.

Don’t let Richardson run.

[TravisWilliams23]

Don't all challenges come from the booth under 2 minutes?

[red]

Fuck quay walker

[ThunderDan]

Quay, just squeeze the ball.

[red]

Don't all challenges come from the booth under 2 minutes?

he called his first challenge before the 2 minute warning

[Fosco33]

This game felt like we were up 3 scores. And comes down to the D having to stop em.

[ThunderDan]

Don't all challenges come from the booth under 2 minutes?

Yes, but if we have 10 men on the field or something we can’t stop it.

[red]

who the hell just let him run up the sideline?

[MadScientist]

This game felt like we were up 3 scores. And comes down to the D having to stop em.

They left 10 points on the field. That would have made it a 3 score game.

[Fritz]

Oh for fuck's sake. Now they're in range for that last-second bomb for the win. Fuck.

[red]

RUSH HIM!!!!!

[red]

a win is a win

even an ugly one

[ThunderDan]

Intercepted by The Bourbon.

[beveaux1]

Wasn't pretty, but we win!!

[MadScientist]

Phew. Richardson doesn't have Rodgers hail mary touch.

[Teamcheez1]

Winning ugly better than losing pretty.
We should have put this one away early.
The Colts played a mediocre game.

Good early game plan by MLF. 2nd half was futile.
Can the offense evolve next week?
Can the defense continue to improve?

[Fritz]

Wow. They squeaked that out.

Nards is now on watch. That miss was huge.

[run pMc]

This game plan works once.
Teams will take all the easy stuff away starting next week.

yes they will. Indy started taking it away after halftime.
