Official Gameday: Colts pancake pounding of the Foxborough Fairies

[YDFL Commish]

When the best TE on your roster is MOC, you have TE issues.

Justin Tucker has missed 3 kicks so far today (2 FG attempts, and 1 X-Point attempt.)

Tony Romo is falling all over himself, pointing out that Tucker is the greatest kicker ever, and that he is internalizing these misses as the greats always do, and that Tucker saved a group of kids from burning to death in a fire when he was a Rookie, and that Tucker will likely come up with an AIDS vaccine after he retires from football, and that Tucker should have been voted into office as the President of the United States in 2024, and .......

It is really frustrating to SEE what is actually happening vs just hearing the shit being talked about AR. So much SM traffic about how he can't even compete 50% of his passes, etc...

Yes, he is still throwing bad passes- both of the INT's today were not good, he telegraphed them both. At the end of today he looks pretty pedestrian, if not mediocre despite the win. His stats don't look good; 50% for 109 yards 2 TDs and 2 INTs.

However those that are watching the games SEE the unbelievable, the ludicrous, level of drops he has suffered. Repeatedly, in almost every game, he has thrown some truly special passes and they have been dropped. Hell almost every week he could have a solid highlight reel on the circuit shows--- if motherfuckers would just catch some of these unbelievable dots he has thrown- the pass to Granson, that is as great a throw against good coverage, as ANYONE in the league can throw.

He is making great plays and not being rewarded or recognized for it. Frankly I am convinced he IS the long term answer but if you aren't paying attention there is no way you could accept that as reality.

Mitchell and Granson should be cut, if Mitchell caught 50% of the balls thrown to him, he might be leading the team in receiving yards !!I'll enjoy this win for the next few days, but a win in Denver is a pipe dream.

I wouldn't cut Mitchell yet, he has shown flashes and is extremely fast. A lot of great receivers including Jerry Rice dropped a lot of passes in their rookie seasons.

They sure as hell better find some long term answers at wide receiver and tight end then because this shit ain't the winning formula.

Chase McLaughlin, i former Colts kicker, just booted a 51-yard field goal on the final play of the 4th quarter to send the game into OT in the Buccaneers' contest against the Panthers.

It’s got to be said, give Shane Steichen a ton of credit for correctly reading the situation there at the end of the game.

18 play drive for a touchdown. Patriots defense is gassed. Colts oline is charged. Going for two there was absolutely the right decision.

That said, that decision took balls of steel.

Personally, I thought the performance of the Receivers was remarkable given that Pittman has a back injury that prevents him from bending at the waist without intense pain, Pierce could barely walk on Tuesday, Downs was out, Mitchell is suffering growing pains that are typical for many rookie Receivers, and they have a TE corps who, collectively, never met a pass they couldn’t drop.

I have died and re-spawned on this hill more times than I can count.

Time for a very much needed rest. In this week off, hopefully, the players heal up and are renewed for the stretch run. AR has two weeks to work on his short comings, JT gets his ankle healthy, Pittman his back pain eases, Downs’ shoulder heals, Pierce gets his foot issues solved, Bortolini and Braden Smith get game ready. Playing in Denver, it’s important to have the whole team rested and ready to go. I’m not expecting it, but a win in this game would certainly go a long way to an optimistic post season.
