The Colts knew we were running up the middle because sweeps were pointless with the footing. On a dry field I'll give you that. In that mess? Punting was the right call. So giving your 3rd string QB that doesn't know the playbook maybe a shot at a long field in that mess was the right call

And it still came down to third and long didn't it. OOo and if you trust the defense to get the ball back why isn't that trust there on 4th and 1? See the hyperbole of coach speak and cliches Edited December 11, 2017 by MAJBobby

So even if it's a turnover, the Colts have less time to score. Dude, is this not obvious to you?

Less time to score, doesn't matter a tie and your season is over what is so hard to see. two 1st downs by the Colts (and they had it with Hilton wide open) and your season is over

Agree on the WGR app. It won't shut off. Just lingers on your phone's taskbar.

I don't think it's crazy to think we had a better chance to score by pinning them back deep and playing defense- in those conditions of course. Needed one yard to keep possession in the Colts territory and control of the game with a chance to score. Again, they got lucky on a heave from Webb to Thompson after yielding the ball with a TO burned before punting at that.

I've tried a couple times when I got caught traveling during the game - couldn't find anything those times - but doing a phone search for things like that is a challenge for me. I haven't read the whole thread so this might get answered farther in but, you can listen to the home or away broadcast for every game using the NFL app on your mobile device

See, that's just it. Hindsight is always 20/20. Their argument: "So in a foot of snow you know the Colts are geared into stopping Shady. Watching for Webb to run. And what are you going to do...let your 3rd string QB who isn't even a full time QB throw in that weather with the season on the line? No, he had to be the smartest guy in the room and go for it. He's in over his head."
