Broncos vs Colts - Week 8 (1 Viewer)

[Insein]

Go

 

[ffldrew]

Both teams moving the ball a little and then stalling out near mid-field 

Colts ball on second possession starting at 10. First drive with some generic stuff - running game getting stopped and they are falling behind schedule.

 

[ffldrew]

Wow - a Bronco sack on 3rd and 5. Colts go from the ten - to near the 50 and take a sack of 8. 

Now it's the Broncos turn to start a drive from the 10

 

[ffldrew]

Deante Spencer picks up a first down pass from Flacco - he was in the Sanders slot. They are trying several players there - he has first catch

ETA - he now gets an end around carry much like Sanders

 

[ffldrew]

Bronco drive stops at the Colt 30 with a Flacco sack. Had some good runs in there and passes to Fant. But it looks like a FG try when 2Q starts

Wow - Colts screwed on a roughness call - Broncos take 3 off the board and have a new set of downs

Sack of Flacco is overturned by a holding in endzone

ETA - Broncos get 2 free first downs in Red Zone - still have to settle for FG - pathetic

What's going on with Colts offense? Did Brisett get hurt?

What's going on with Colts offense? Did Brisett get hurt?

No - terrible play calling - uninterested players. Broncos stuffing the run and keeping Brisett in pocket on passing downs. Broncos are also manhandling the Colts DLine and running long drives - Colts Offense has barely been on the field.

 

[ffldrew]

Broncos open the half with a nice drive for TD.

Colts respond by moving the ball a little better than before but still stall out and settle for 45 FG. This drive was kept alive by Brisett running out of the pocket.

 

[ffldrew]

Colts finally get a complete drive - well nearly complete. After a Mack TD,  Vinitari misses the xtra point - so Broncos lead by 1.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Man, what in the world is going on with Brissett? Rough game for him.

 

[Joe Summer]

Indy settles for a 51-yard FG attempt by running 3 straight run plays to end the game. LAME.

Plenty of leg

They made the FG, but that was some horrible play calling and decision making.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

OK Denver, don't mess this up

+5.5 

 

[ffldrew]

Broncos choke again. This team is full of chokers

 

[Morton Muffley]

Indy settles for a 51-yard FG attempt by running 3 straight run plays to end the game. LAME.

FWIW, Belichick would NEVER have settled for a 51 yard FG

And Belichick would NEVER have called a TO with 26 seconds left to give Indy/Vinatieri time to compose themselves for that kick

just sayin'

Broncos choke again. This team is full of chokers

I hope they lose out.  I feel bad for the defense. You hold a team to 12 points all game and your offense can't go anything to help with that?" This offense is averaging---16 points a game or so. Just a lost year. Elway needs to just embrace the rebuild this year--recoup what you can in trades and then at the end of the year--walk away. It will  suck to stink for a few years, but it will be more palatable to have a 2-3 year plan vs this "we are still trying to be competitive" nonsense that has been going on the last couple years.  And Drew Lock needs to not see the field this year period.

Elway will see it as losing 3 games on personal foul penalties at the end of games - or else we are 5-3 and in the hunt. 

I think we need to see Drew Lock - have to find out if he can handle this or if we need to move on ala Josh Rosen.

Defense didn't help themselves Purcell with a stupid roughing the passer call helped set up the Mack TD and the horsecollar on the last drive moved them into field goal range.

Bottom line - they play just good enough to lose - because they are in a loser's mentality.
