Just a few things to add:
1) STOP with the screens, especially on 2nd and long. When the Colts run them, there’s a high probability of zero or negative yardage which kills your drive. Only run them on 1st or 3rd and long.
2) Was it just me, or did Walker get benched in the 2nd half only to come back out for OT? He looked downright terrible on several plays.
3) Same goes for Kenny Moore. Make a tackle. Or better yet, make a play of any sort.
4) They got burned a ton in man today. If you’re going to play man, you better cover better than that.
5) The DL just missed Rivers on several occasions. Really frustrating since any one of those could’ve swayed the game.
Overall, there was a lot to like: Mack, run blocking, Brissett, TY, Funchess and Cain making contested grabs. The defense and Vinatieri just killed them today. They nearly overcame those factors against a really good team, so I’m encouraged that this is still a team that can win the AFC South. Big game next week against TENN.
