Quick thoughts after loss to bucs

[daedge]

There definitely has to be some context to the 26 straight passing plays, including the fact that included the two minute drill.

That said, I've seen some defending Reich for abandoning the run, pointing to the running stats in the first quarter. However, my argument is the Colts needed to keep the Bucs honest with a few runs. After all, you have the best back in the league, one who gashed the Bills when they loaded the box a week earlier.

Instead, Reich got tunnel vision, allowing the Bucs pass rushers to tee off again and again and again. What a surprise, Wentz got sacked and fumbled, and the Colts went from potentially leading 31-14 to trailing 31-24 in no time. It was game changing stuff.

Two more things.

1. I'd be happy if the Colts never threw another ball in the direction of Pascal again.
2. I'd love to see Wentz stop under-throwing his receivers. Even the last ditch prayer was under-cooked and didn't reach the end zone.
