Lest we get our shorts in a wad about the loss, consider

A list of teams the Chiefs came back against include:

Denver…4 times
Baltimore
Detroit
The Chargers…5 times, twice in the same season
Cincinnati…3 times, once in the playoffs
San Francisco…twice, both in the Super Bowl
Buffalo…twice, both in the AFC Championship game
Philadelphia…again in the Super Bowl.

Altogether, 26 fourth quarter comebacks and 31 game winning drives. The guy is like Bela Lugosi; the only way to kill him is to drive a stake through his heart and fill his casket with garlic..

Agreed, to a certain extent. HOF coach, HOF QB, HOF TE, HOF DT, in a road game in most probably the loudest stadium in the NFL.

Still the Colts can play better, and must play better against good teams. Sometimes, I think that Steichen and and Jones wanna play the smartest dude in the room game, when just taking the easy completions is the right answer.

Yep reminds me of Rick Vaughn trying all the cute pitches until the coach had to remind him

“All fuck all that pussy shit, give em the heater”

I am not sure why everyone is giving Jones such a pass on the play calling. First of all he and Steichen seemed tied at the hip, he spends all his time supposedly working on the game plan with Stiechen but apparently has no input once the game starts, has no ability to change the play at the line of scrimmage and just gets only one play to choose from. This cannot be true, if it is we are screwed going forward. I guess I am to fucking old but I can guarantee Unitas or Manning wouldn't have sat there and run plays sent in if they felt there was a better option. I remember Unitas saying you need a feel for the game that only people in the game have when calling plays. But then again those men were leaders

Not everyone. I said this earlier in the thread.
