Denver at Indianapolis (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

Go.

 

[Debeucci]

would love to see Indy come out with an uptempo today with new OC. Unfortunately looks like more Gore runs, and Luck incompletions on 3rd and Long.

My predictions for Luck today:

1st half : 3/9 50 yards, 0/1

Full game: 16/33, 175, 1/2

Did someone in the booth tell the ref there was a facemask? That was pretty late.

Yeah, that was awful.

 

[rascal]

Apparently broncos will be playing colts and refs.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Too early to call but random stuff like what happened to Adams is similar to my torn achillies. Just jumped up to head a ball in soccer, no one near me, came down and POP.

 

[bakes]

That Supergirl graphic... Really?

Nice crossing pattern to Hilton.

 

[ffldrew]

Nice pick out for hilton

 

[j3r3m3y]

Trevathons helmet ripped off by the facemask, no call. LOL

 

[purestrength]

Colts were sandbagging on Hilton's injury this past week.

 

[ffldrew]

So the Eifert reach out earlier this season was an anomaly

 

[renesauz]

Feel like I should be surprised by the way this game is going....but for some reason I'm not.

Funny, I am surprised by the way this is going.... but I feel like I shouldn't be.

 

[Ladsud]

Quiet in here, everyone was expecting Denver to roll Indy.

 

[j3r3m3y]

PI, not called.

 

[j3r3m3y]

I guess grabbing receivers arms isn't PI anymore.

 

[ffldrew]

Not sure we can count on Peyton to deliver 20+ yard passes all day

 

[Bad_Mo]

ugly game

 

[Courtjester]

So is Kubiak even coaching this game? Why do you not even try to challenge that? What do you have to lose?

 

[ROCKET]

For some reason Indy has Denver's #. The Broncos better hope they don't have to play them in Jan.

 

[bakes]

That cell phone commercial with the annoying woman saying things like "get over your head with a clap-clap" is like nails on a chalkboard. So bad. Phil Simms seems like Pat Summerall in comparison.

 

[Courtjester]

God, Phil is an idiot!!

 

[j3r3m3y]

About time we put pressure on Luck.

 

[j3r3m3y]

CATCH THE DAM BALL!

another undefeated team going down...broncos sucking

@ Peyton trying to throw downfield

"The throw was perfect but.."

 

[j3r3m3y]

@ Peyton trying to throw downfield

You should actually watch the game, the throws have mostly been on the money. Defenders are playing very well and in some cases getting away with some questionable grabs.

For what it's worth it has been like this all year (and I get to make the same joke in each thread). First half Denver Broncos have cable, wait till second half Broncos come out, they have DirecTV.

 

[j3r3m3y]

YES!

 

[ffldrew]

Saweeeeeet

 

[KingPrawn]

Why not kick that out of bounds? Denver likely takes a knee to end the half.

With zero velocity. He's been floating the ball to the WRs giving the defense a chance to make a play on the ball.

NFL teams need to pony up $200K or so per year -- chump change to them -- to hire somebody who pays attention to clock management, down and distance situations, 4th down decisions, etc., and who can chime in over the headset to remind folks about the overall state of the game. You have to figure the decision to punt the ball in-bounds was just a complete lack of game-awareness on the part of the Colts ST coach. More generally, though, a bright person who understands the structure of this game could easily earn that salary by stopping obviously stupid in-game decisions.

Either that or hire competent head coaches.

When defenders have time to make a sammich and eat it before they have to worry about the ball getting to the receiver they are covering, average to poor DB's and LB's become above average. The Denver offense is a dumpster fire. And the defense isn't the second coming of the 2000 Ravens either.

That's not the problem. It has nothing to do with competency. It's about specialization and attention. HC can't be running all the odds on game situation along with all the other duties he has as well as a dedicated coach or assistant could.

 

[ffldrew]

No one can blow a whistle?

 

[Ladsud]

Two hits to the head, arent they supposed to be babying these QBs now a days.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Agreed, more missed calls. These zebras are awful.

 

[SengerCJ]

Meh at that penalty on the punt.

So a competent head coach wouldn't have told his ST coordinator to kick the ball out of bounds?

 

[j3r3m3y]

Run to the right loses yardage.

"RUN IT AGAIN!"

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Meh at that penalty on the punt.

Yep. Unless the defender makes contact with the returner before the catch, there is no halo rule in the NFL
