The Indianapolis Colts (10-5) imploded on Sunday en route to a 28-24 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-3) and while much of it was of their own doing, there are plenty of questions surrounding the officiating.

One player who had questions for the officials after the game was Colts linebacker Darius Leonard, who blasted the officials for two questionable calls against the Indy.

Leonard mentioned the questionable defensive pass interference calls against cornerbacks Kenny Moore and T.J. Carrie.

Darius Leonard on the DPI on Kenny Moore (replay showed the ball was tipped): "That was a terrible call, I don’t care, that was awful ... and the one against TJ (Carrie), that was a great play by TJ. If you're gonna call the one on TJ, you gotta call the one against TY."
The officials aren’t the only reason the Colts blew a 17-point lead in the second half of the game, but there were certainly some calls that left everyone scratching their heads. There was even a non-offensive pass interference call when Chase Claypool tackled Carrie on what could have been a pick-six before the ball even arrived.

Every game there are calls that are questionable, but there were a few more in this game that shifted the tide a bit, and Leonard didn’t mince his words in the postgame interviews.

We lost the game because Reich can't come up with a solid game plan for two halves. We ran all over them in the first and fucking abandoned it in the second. The refs fucked us, they called ticky tacky shit on the colts all second half, while ignoring the same shit the steelers did. Deplorable. Rivers has been OK, but not having our tackles and losing the better back up one fucked us hard with sloth of a QB. Fuck the Stealers.

The game plan wasn't good, but honestly if the o-lineman didn't push his guy in the back on that Hines 60+ yard play, I think the Colts definitely win that game. The refs were bad, but don't help them by doing stupid shit like that on a huge play.

Stampede Blue did a decent write up on the game. Glowinski's defender turned his back after he was blocked from the front. That isn't a foul and that is on the refs. He only saw the end of the play.

And the Steelers just announced that Rudolph is starting Sunday against the Browns. They’ll be resting other starters as well.

They’re screwing us twice in 3 days.

The Colts screwed themselves on Sunday, a playoff team doesn’t collapse like they did, they don’t belong in the playoffs.

I believe that the Titans belong in the playoffs a lot less than the Colts belong in them.

With a chance to clinch the division title with a win, the Titans looked like a 5-11 team against the Packers. The Colts beat the Packers earlier this season.


I agree that the Colts choked the game away against the Steelers is sorrowful fashion on Sunday, but in the overall scheme of things they went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the AFC while playing without both of their starting offensive tackles.



For perhaps a less biased view than my own rat's ass of an opinion ....... the Green Bay Packers may very well wind up representing the NFC in the upcoming Super Bowl. I would venture to guess that there isn't a Packers player, a Packers coach, or a Packers fan on the planet that would rather play the Colts in the Super Bowl than the Titans.

I'm not necessarily saying that either the Colts or the Titans will make it to the Super Bowl, but rather that if the Packers and their entourage had a choice of facing one or the other in a game that could net them their 2nd world championship in the Aaron Rodgers era, they would choose playing against the Titans every day of the week.

Along with losing to the worst team in the NFL.

Have the colts had a signature win this season?

The Steelers did what they needed to do, and protecting their players is the privilege they earned by winng.

Week 10 vs Ten
Or
Week 11 vs GB
