Seems like a good time to play a soft zone.
 
Worst of it was they never faked a blitz. They made it so simple for Luck to know pre-snap when they were coming at him.

Moncrief walks into the end zone on 2nd and goal if Luck saw him, no clue what the Panthers D was doing that whole series.

There was ONE time they showed 6 and dropped someone into coverage.

But your point stands.

Guys, don't forget that every Indy win potentially prolongs the lifespan of this truly terrible front office, so it's not all bad.

If you are referencing the fan in the rain poncho I question your definition of beautiful. Or are you as lubed up as I am?
Righty. Not lefty. Your first look was probably left.

Also drags down their draft spot, so they won't be able to take quite as highly regarded of a wide receiver this year.

How would this win turn the Colts' season around? They are all but locked into the 4 seed and should probably be dogs to a healthy Jets/Raiders in the first round.
 
Colt or not, I still love Vinatieri.

These guys should go for the win
Yeah I'm actually not sure blasting 50 yard FGs in OT on the first possession is a plus EV move very often but at least they have a good kicker

no Stanford connection like?
As I've said before, I have classmates that I knew and liked that now work for Goldman Sachs, Halliburton, exxonmobil... I don't fucking root for them professionally. Once you leave the Farm, you're on your own buddy.

The Colts season was turned around the moment it began and their division still happened to be Tennessee, Houston, and Jacksonville.

That's funny, I enjoyed watching him play at Stanford and still find myself rooting for him, and the Colts come along for the ride.
