That's a skill that many championship caliber defenses possess. Hell, the reason they even had the ability to force OT with a FG was because they forced the first Colts FG in a Goal to Go situation this season. The passing game needs better built in answers for the blitz, but this team definitely hung with the 3 time defending AFC Champions in their own building. The Texans and Jaguars will not pose nearly this many problems.

And you can actually sack or touch their QB without awarding them a first down

Relax Colts fans. After this loss, the Colts are 8 and 3. There are only 3 teams in the ENTIRE NFL with a better record. Hopefully, Steichen learns from this experience, how to deal with blitzes. When things go your way, you don't really learn much, the learning comes from failure, from defeat. I believe the Colts can learn a shitload from this game. I know; I believe this because I want to find the silver lining, but I find it hard to believe the coaching staff won't put their heads together and come up with solutions. It's important for them to play well in their next two games. The Texans and the Jaguars are nipping at their tails. Win these next two games and I think we're in. Lose them and ... well, this board will be chaos.

Hang in there Colts fans, there's turbulence ahead.

Shane didn't learn a damn thing from the Steelers game.

He is proving to be way too fucking stick to your guns vs adjust guy. Both teams clearly had a plan to cause DJ to throw way ahead of schedule- and it worked tremendously. At some point you have to design shit to counter that approach. Shit, you have AP, fucking 3 step and throw that shit on a flyer down the sidelines and see what the fuck happens- 80% of the time you are going to get a PI on that shit.

He is a genius at times and then there are times where he looks like he would be challenged to scheme up an effective 5th grade game plan to counter the oppositions tactics.
