3 games in a row now with missed chip shots for AV.... FG I can understand but extra points? Good Gawd. Wonder if there is still some lingering injury issue that he is not being upfront about.

Hate to say it but he really needs to take stock of himself and make the hard call. I will still root for him good or bad if he wants to stay but one can't help think he needs to consider what will help this team more in the long run.

Yeah this is a 2-0 team... they cant keep doing this with A.V.

I think the Colts just need to IR him and be done with it.

Adam, you are the GOAT at placekicking. You had a good run, it's time to retire. Open a roster spot for Kelly, who By the way, might be better than Brissett. Brissett doesn't have it between the ears.

All in all, a win is a win, no matter how ugly.

Well its a win

Not sure about AV. Would sit down with him and see what he thinks

Can't keep missing kicks obviously but not sure what the problem is for him. Its not like the leg strength isn't there.

Brissett.....rough game, more what we expected from him I think. Has to get rid of the ball. And he Mariotta both seemed lost back there when their first read is not open.

That 2nd turnover, I don't think it matter if it was a throw or a fumble. Ball went backwards, so even if it was a throw, its a live ball. And the worst part is I don't know why he hesitated, he had a guy open on a short throw to the sideline. Easy pass.

Mack also falling back to earth. He still misses holes. Saw it in the first half one play, should have run between guard and tackle and he follows everyone out to the left to stop the play.

But take the win.

FFS guys, good god don't you all bitch and moan about every damn little thing.

About the only thing i agree with regards whinging on about things, was the time it took for the officials to call the penalties. I thought most of the flags thrown were fairly legit. But the commentators were fine, just like they were not that horrific last week either. Hooker made a good play to get his hand on the attempted interception, could he possibly have laid out for it, maybe, but he still was in great position.

AV he has had two bad games in a row, maybe he is carrying some sort of injury, i don't know. But if he goes the remainder of the season practically perfect, some of you are going to look like fools. He might also just say i have had enough and hang them up. But in my mind he plays for the Colts for as long as he wants to.....within reason....two very poor games does not get the GOAT cut ever, that stretches to 4, 5 etc, then you think again.

Brissett played fairly well, i am laying no blame on him for the interception, just a good defensive play. The fumble wasn't great, he held on to the ball too long a couple of times, but he showed fantastic escapability from the pocket to extend some of the plays. I am not quite sure what the long pass to T.Y. was all about, in terms of the play call....pass was almost on the money, but we should have been running the clock out.

I thought i our DE's were pretty awful, we didn't get any pressure from the outside, but up the middle Autry was awesome. Did Banogu or Houston even play? Khari Willis made a couple of nice tackles. Hopefully Desir's injury isn't too bad, as he was playing really well. Wilkins, just look like he runs with a passion. Thought Mack played ok even if he stat line doesn't look all that great. I still don't get what everyone sees in Hines, he just doesn't do anything for me.

The rookies are getting some serious playing time, Ya-Sin will possibly see even more snaps if Desir is hurt, Banogu, Okereke, Willis, Campbell all saw more game time this week. Not sure i saw Speed on defense, but he was on the active roster today.

All in all i enjoyed the game, with a victory against an AFC South rival, we are now 1-1 in two road games, and have our first home game of the season this week against the Falcons, things are looking good.

Seems like some overreaction on Brissett. He didn’t have a particularly good game, but IMO this is why they gave him the extension. He isn’t an upper echelon QB at this point. We knew that. Anyone expecting more than he’s done so far was deluding themselves. The question is how much does he progress with competent coaching and meaningful experience.

Since they moved Xpoints BACK, they aren't such a chip shot.

Mack had one play of 30 yards called back, so there's that

Dude was 3-1 on TD-INT ratio. I'll take that any day.

Some of the things he's doing aren't likely going to change with coaching or playing more than he already has. The bad clock management, the holding onto the ball too long, the inability to find another option often when his first read isn't there.

I think it's cause for concern but I wouldn't give up on him yet to improve those things.

I'm not ready to give up on him, but I do question his football instincts.

Those announcers were awful and clueless.

I can't stand it when its obvious they don't watch the teams they are announcing for during the week, or do any research

Didn't they twice say the Colts were the defending division champs? No they aren't. Should be, but aren't

Not knowing about Reich and his willingness to go for it on 4th down, at least by one of them, the other knew.

"I don't remember a coach making a call like this on 4th down" OK not only the reich OT game last year, but the famous 4th and 2 call by BB against the Colts?

Idiots. If it doesn't involve NE or Pitt or Dallas, they don't pay attention on a weekly basis. ANd they get into announcing a game like this on, it shows.

I wish they'd let each team have their own announce team and the road team's announcers is the one that would used for the broadcast in markets outside of the home team's market. The home team would have their announcers calling the game on their local network affiliate, assuming the game is a sell out.

This would never happen since it's all about the main network needing to have a unified message, and having absolute control over any editorializing or wayward chatter that may not be in lock step with their view of how a game should be called.

Oh I'm not giving up on him. He does some good things too. I just think the chances of him fixing some of the bad things are low if he hasn't corrected them by this point in his career.

I definitely disagree on the first two. They are well within the range of coaching. The progression issue is certainly a little tougher, but yes it is still coachable.

For years the knock on Luck was protecting the ball - being to aggressive. Brissett is the opposite. He’s to risk adverse. I’m not sure he doesn’t go thru the progressions. I think he may want a bigger window to throw the ball than Luck did. Luck had a lot of Favre in him. Brissett is more of the Brady style (not talking ability, only the style of ball protection).

If they have the same problems at the midpoint, its him. If he has the goods, the game will slow down

This is live TV....i don't care about mistakes such as that, that doesn't make the commentary awful, if they are just being asses during the commentary, or consistently calling out the wrong names of players, clearly being biased etc that to me is poor commentary, making a mistake, happens. To me they didn't detract from the game, they brought the game to the world in a generally efficient/professional manner.

well done Smitty - those two missed PATs were all that separated you from perfection

It very much detracts from it to me because it tells me they don't really know the league or the teams that are playing the game. Its not a mistake, its a lack of knowledge. Once is a mistake. Twice is they don't know what they are talking about, which makes me question anything they say.
