Unfortunately, I saw him first

IF we get into the playoffs (unlikely), we’re going to get smoked.

@Tactful_Colt we’re not we’re going to have a huge lead in the first half and when second half comes we get out coached and lose the lead

FACTS

@Jaguar ENT🎤

@Aron We’re 4-1 with zero turnovers and we’re 2-5 with >0 turnovers. Statistics don’t tell the whole story mate.

@Aron I’d rather him throw to the guy with the one on one chance than into the group. That’s a junk time turnover is my point, I don’t count that. Might as well have been an incomplete pass. The ball was underthrown, like too many of Wentz’s passes recently.

@Daniel Mustang Every above .500 team we’ve played we have relied on a pass only offense besides the Bills. Reich wants Wentz to be the Hero. We’ve seen how that has played out. When we’ve relied on Wentz to throw us into games he is 0-5 and don’t forget a majority of turnovers come from the QB position. You can’t deny those statistics.

So where soppose to hold that line all game passing 26 times in a row ?

3 turnovers on passing plays.

The players failed to execute the game plan cleanly. Nothing was wrong with the play calling. Reich called it correctly. That one was on the players. Smh at the people, who believe the Colts offense is supposed to blow out every good team. That ain’t gonna happen. Sometimes you’ll get a lead & win but the offense can’t stop the opposing offense from scoring. Defense always comes out guns blazing playing lights out. Then they fade in the second half. Without the turnovers the Colts would’ve beaten the Bucs. Pittman was supposed to win the jump ball battle. How does a 5’9 guy out jump a 6’4 man? Make it make sense.

@C Truth it was working UNTIL the 2nd half when we had back to back Turnovers and then another all on passing plays to lose the game. The Bucs adjusted to the pass while we refused to run the ball. He got outcoached again. We’re 0-5 when Wentz throws 35+ and 6-1 when he throws under 35. And undefeated when Taylor rushes for 100+. Reich needs to step up.

@Aron The defensive line and the defensive coordinator are so in love with Tom Brady. Its seems to me, nobody in the NFL has learned one thing from the NYG defensive blueprint on how to beat Tom Brady. The NYG wrote the book. Only the WFT have learned. You don’t let Tom Brady throw the ball–period. You MUST sack Tom Brady! Its the only way. Now, I don’t wonder why Brady can carve up any Colts team blind folded.

@bryson I didn’t know a punt was considered a passing play

@C Truth They knew it was going to be a pass because we ran 26 consecutive pass plays. A strip sack was the result of the defense knowing the play calls as well as the interceptions. We easily could have ran in the 2nd half because they were playing the pass which is why we turned the ball over 3 times in the passing game. This isn’t the first time that the “pass first” mentality has lost us games

@Aron you know one of those interceptions didn’t count

@Blake Francis Boggs it’s still counts… Anytime you throw into triple coverage and underthrow the pass when the game is on the line it counts as an interception.

Exactly!

@T S enjoy your evening!

@Nat Wru What choice did he have? The Colts couldn’t establish the running game. This means the Colts couldn’t impose their will on the Bucs defense. So Reich adjusted his tactics. I have no problem with that. The failure lies with the players failure to execute and this is nit picking. Because the Colts certainly have the physicality, power & ability to beat a team like that. They just have to execute cleanly. All those turnovers & they still went to overtime! The trench war was so furious Vita Vea’s teeth got knocked out. The Bucs executed better & played smarter. That was the difference—experience.

@aron typically zone coverage is more of a run defense because defenders eyes are in the backfield apposed to on a receiver in man-to-man

@Daniel Niese Players are in coverage meaning they move away from the line of scrimmage giving more space to run…..

Nonsense … you’re rewriting what happened…. despite leading for a good chunk of the game, the Colts gave Tom Brady +3 possessions.

Case closed.

@SpiritWalk 2 from back to back turnovers in the passing game which lead right into their game plan.

Case Closed.

I liked that Kwity had another sack, I feel like he is building toward something! Their is hope.

Play calling was on point? What? What game did you watch? Because the play calling in the 2nd half was borderline Junior High man.
