Bob called a timeout - and basically gave them 3pts at the end of the first half. Bob, has a mismatch every week with 3 good TEs that he refuses to use......oh and our OLine is questionable on pass blocking..Indy's is too but they max protect and throw to their TE....HEAR THAT BOB, they MAX PROTECT and throw to their TEs. DD
We have TEs that we don't use. I always wonder why we don't have any one reliable as an Owen Daniels, it cause BoB doesn't use tight ends, he prefers to set the run. Even if the run is nonexistent, our HC will force it down the opposing teams' throat and hope for the best = dumb as fk. Maybe we can't pass the ball a lot because our oline is trash, but there has to be a time and place to do rush plays. If we up, sure rush to stall that's fine, if you are fking down 10 points w/ time expiring = stop trying to set up a rush that's nonexistent. OFfensive guru muster only 7 points in a half, that's disgusting.
I hate the Cowboys, but I give them credit for getting Amari Cooper from Oakland. He got 217 yards today!! Wish we had made that move.
I was in favor of the timeout at the time..not knowing that the defense would sht the bed. Hindsight 20/20. Pretty simple, we played absolutely terrible today and still had a shot to win. Two wide open deep balls missed by Watson could have been the difference. Thankfully, (hopefully) we won’t have to face Captain Luck in the playoffs. Is Kayvon Webster eligible to return? Wright was an admirable fill in but it’s time to look elsewhere.
Longest game-winning TD with no time remaining in the Superbowl ERA. Patriots were 58-2 when leading with <10 seconds remaining since 2001. Nine lead-changes is tied for 2nd most in NFL history.
They got off easy this year. Only 3 QBs on the entire schedule I would consider as a good qb. Brady, Luck and Wentz.
Very simple issues: Oline is bad despite the homer twitter captain protesting Bob isn’t a good playcaller Defense can’t defend against teams that challenge deep Our pass rush is slow. It’s a power rush instead of a speed rush, so it isn’t like guys have no time back there. Our corners can’t handle speed. Bad formula and it’s been this way for years with this defensive unit. Surprising really how few teams just say eff it and throw fifty times against us. Every time they run the ball it’s a small victory for the Texans
The defense could not get the Colts off the field the last three quarters. The Colts committed to protecting Luck and the Texans front seven could not apply much pressure. Unfortunately, this might be formula for defeating the Texans, which playoff teams will have no issues implementing. The Texans defense lost this game. If the Colts needed a TD to win on their last drive, the Texans defense would not hav been able to stop them.
Completely agree. The formula for the Texans defense has been the same for years now with a small blip the year AJ Bouye was so good. Forget the middle range throws. Attack the quick short passes and the deep ball only. We give a cushion at the line so quick 5 yard gains are always there and we have no speed so deep balls are there. I've never understood watching teams that try to run against this team or run standard passing attacks. We have a power rush. Clowney is a great player and Watt is a great player, but they aren't speed rush guys. When they blow their guy up of course they get their fast, otherwise they work for their sacks.
BOB loves to RUN and he loves to run against 7 in the box so he spreads the field with 3 WRs. 3 TEs means you're running against 8 or 9 in the box and I guess he thinks we can't do that. I haven't studied any film this year but by guess is that the sets and formations for inside running plays are identical to deep crosses we like to run in the passing game. It makes sense to have multiple plays from the same sets and formations for a lot of reasons.
Watson had a tough day and BoB struggled to adjust to a Colts defense who sold out on run on first down. There’s your L
The Colts did three things very effectively yesterday: - they kept an extra lineman in (#73, eligible) to double- and, at times, triple-team JJ Watt - Luck, far more often than not, took three steps and fired Both completely neutralized the pass rush. Meanwhile, the Colts had a safety over-top on Hopkins' side and essentially rendered him a bystander. It was Belichick-ian in how they targeted and successfully wiped out our best players. Other than some mental errors early, the Colts looked legitimately great; I can't fathom how they've lost six games. They look like a highly-competent team and Reich has the feel of a *very* dangerous coach who is going to be a nightmare in the years to come. That guy has zero fear.
