Broncos just gave the Colts those 10 yards on 3rd down. Probably cost them 3 points.

I generally think the importance of in-game coaching decisions is overrated, but Hackett and his staff have been really bad all season.

Maybe Ryan retires after this game.
Ryan is guaranteed 54 million in 2022 and 2023 - the colts actually elected to do this insanity

I recall a time in the off-season when the colts fans were excited to bring in Ryan

I saw him play against the Jets last year and he legitimately looked good. 3 steps drops, ball was out, quick decisions. Total opposite is what I’m seeing tonight.

This is right up there with one of the worst half of football I’ve ever seen. And I used to coach youth football. Like 6th graders youth

Colts really could use a reset year to get one of those top 3 QBs. Then, you have Ryan on the last year of his deal as a potential stop gap option or expensive backup.

if denver can get to 16 they win denver has stopped the up the middle run game yeah denver is not great but if they beat LAC twice they are likely in as a 7 seed and denver is a diff team at home it's looking like a 7-1 home rec and a 1-8 2-7 away rec for them

This game is like a combination of the CHI/SF game played in a monsoon and the NE/BUF windstorm game from last year but the weather is perfect. This is just horrible football.

As a neutral, I thought the wind game was very good and dramatic

Outside of the kickers is Philip Lindsay the offensive MVP of the game so far? I think that sums it up.

On the plus side, I decided to pickup and start the colts kicker this week to give me a reason to watch this game and 2 50 yarders later, I’m enjoying it.

Reminds me of the Giants-Cards MNF game in 83 or 84 that was so bad George halas died shortly thereafter. So many missed short fgs that on the last, don Meredith said "boys, he's gonna miss this one too" right as the ball was snapped.

In a poorly played game with an incredibly bad finish, the Giants and Cardinals played a 20-20 overtime tie tonight.

The Giants apparently had the game won in regulation time, only to watch Neil O'Donoghue of the Cardinals tie the score on a 22-yard field goal with 54 seconds remaining. In overtime, O'Donoghue missed three field goals - from the 45-yard line, then the 20, then the 42.

The Broncos are going to win because the refs picked a DB. I have never seen that before.
