Not a single drive stalled because they failed to convert a 3rd down.

You can argue that running the ball would have kept the Bucs honest, but on the interception, the Colts had Pittman matched up against a lone Safety, which is just about as good as it gets.

The NFL’s game replay shows something weird going on in Pittman’s stride, almost as if he was shoved by Winfield. But, mysteriously enough, they give us no slow motion view of the play, and replays start after the point where Pittman broke stride

As far as I’m concerned, the Pascal fumble was the crucial play of the game. It breathed life into a Buccaneer Offense that had been flopping around like a beached trout.

Even with all those turnovers, the Colts were in this game. The running game didn't work until the Bucs let up on run D and looked to stop the pass. But we can't give Reich credit for seeing that and going exclusively to the run, because he's an idiot. The passing game gave them the lead and would have been the reason the Colts won if not for all the turnovers. Early on, the Bucs (a great defensive team) went all out to stop the run and they did. Smart teams take what the defense gives them and do not bang their heads against the wall. JT is our best weapon, but the Bucs said "you won't beat us with your best weapon, go ahead and try"

I do question the reason for no runs whatsoever in the 3rd quarter, but the lack of runs is not what lost this game,

IT WAS THE TURNOVERS

Can’t turn it over four times and expect to win at any level of football.

The Hines muffed punt was worse. The defense had just done an excellent job, and had to go right back out at about the 15 yard line.

Just said the same in another thread. That was the killer

Colts put up 400 yards of offense and 31 points against a REALLY talented defense and people want the coach fired.

Ridiculous.

Colts stand a very good chance of missing the playoffs [AGAIN] with arguably the best RB in the league, definitely top 5 OL in the league, a really good QB, a dynamic perineal all-pro on defense, one of the very best DLmen in the league, and probably the game's best slot corner.

They have lost 3 games where the pig headed perhaps out of tune coaching decisions, have absolutely been huge factors in losing the game.

But for the ignoramus HC this team could be marching toward the # 1 seed in the AFC, but instead has a high probability of watching football in January and Feb.

People continue to defend the coach.

Ridiculous.

I sure did hate when Reich sent in the punt-muff play. I mean, what was he thinking. THAT is some bad coaching.

[ChoppedWood]

Dacich did like a full half hour segment on this whole thing. Swears he has "football" people texting him telling him that the NFL insiders are all stunned that Reich would admit that he has to have people tell him what is happening in a game.

I am not a huge Dacich, fan, think he is way too rigid in his thoughts, so who knows if true, but it wouldn't surprise me. That is a pretty glaring admission of not having a feel for the game as the HC that you didn't realize you hadn't run it once in 26 plays, and a completely different level of zombiesque IQ when that RB is the NFL's best.

He did play a little more of the audio and Frank went on to detail that there were 6 run call RPO's in there that went for passes and proceeded to detail that on those 6 plays they gained 42 yards so a 7 yard average and FURTHER went on to say that was "exceptional". To me, again it helps to reinforce my OPINION that Frank is all about proving FRANK is really good at this. Conversely, we were up 10, and we fell down 7, and even more "exceptional" is the fact that we once again coughed up a double digit lead under Frank's leadership!

JMV sort of swimming closer to the Frank is gonna prop up Wentz when he can and that may mean more freedom in the play execution than should maybe be allowed.

The best Rb in the nfl havd less than 10 carries going into th last quarter. That is just wrong

4th ranked offense in the league. Irsay would be insane to fire Reich.

It’s idiotic to even think about.

But, for the sake of argument, let’s say Irsay does fire Reich. Then what? Now you need a coach AND a quarterback because if Reich goes, Wentz either goes or turns back into the pumpkin he was in Philly last year. And the Colts aren’t bad enough to draft a quarterback high, plus they don’t have a first round pick. Did you consider that?

It’s just stupid fanboi fantasy that Reich deserves to be fire. Colts would be the laughingstock of the league if they fired Reich, and deservedly so.
