But Richardson might. He is human, and he hears the criticism in regard to his allegedly foolish/reckless style of play, and/or his ability to be a solid, long-term starting NFL quarterback . He's played a total 4 NFL games, 2 of which he left with an injury.

If he’s listening to outside voices like that and making decisions off it, he isn’t going to be a good QB

I agree with that general sentiment, that he needs to have a mind of his own, and to have mental toughness to make it in this league ...... but right this minute he is 22 years-old and likely going to miss the rest of the season with his injury. Other players in his situation (and at his age) have done things far more foolish than listening to the critics of their play. It would be naive to think that he has no secret feelings of relief watching Minshew play badly today.

It's possible that the Colts could break an 8-game losing streak in northeastern Florida this afternoon.

Next time, just shut up and watch the game.

Would the Colts hold them scoreless and can they make a 2 point conversion? Probably not, but at the same time on that play you cut the number of possessions to two.

It's all a moot point though.

I agree. Take the FG at that point in the game and cut it down to 2 scores. I thought Steichen made a similar bad call at the end of Game 1 when we were down by 10 and went for it on 4th down.

If they were down by 11, and a field goal cut it to 8, then I would agree. But being down by 18 points, I don't think that the field-goal is a no-brainer, for the reasons that I stated. It's just too large of a deficit to presume that everything would work out in their favor with the defense, which it didn't.

I would give the same grade to the Colts for their 37-20 loss to the Jaguars.
