D) ) Unquestionably kept the Colts in the game until the final minutes of the 4th quarter in spite of an absolutely horrific performance from the offense.
E) ) Your critique of the Time-of-Possession being lopsided is much more the fault of the offense than the defense ...... it was similar to the days of when Dan Marino's Dolphins would score quick TD's and subsequently gas the Dolphins' defense because of that ...... but the difference here is that Flacco and the Colts' offense was not doing anything except Punt, Punt, Punt, Fumble, INT, Turnover on Downs, Missed Field Goal, Field Goal, and Field Goal ....... your critique of the TOP being the fault of the defense in this game could not be more misplaced.
So your rage about the Colts' overall performance in this game is understandable, but your slaughtering of the defense, a defense that kept the team in the game until the final minutes of the 4th quarter in spite of an absolutely dreadful performance from the offense, could not be more inapt.

Darnold had his career high completion %. This seems to happen nearly every fucking week with this defense. Constantly the opposing QB is having the best night of their career against us. Through 9 games, NFL completion % is 65.2%, completion percentage against the colts- 70.1%. 5 fucking percentage points more than the average!
This defensive scheme is complete dogshit, it is a fucking joke. It begs the OC to just be disciplined, not even attempt to hit us deep, just death by 2 trillion cuts, keep them on the field and eventually break them through exhaustion- and it works over and fucking over and fucking over.
I don't give a fuck how many sacks they have, how many Int's, how few points they give up overall, the fact of the matter is this defense consistently allows these 6+ minute double digit play drives leaving the offense- which yes I agree it is completely fucking fetid, but nonetheless leaving the offense just playing the role of spectators for much of the game. It has been like this all damn season, it is bullshit!
Steichen is rapidly proving this is all too big for him. His schemes are so misaligned, it is not at all complimentary football and it fucking sucks!
