26CornerBlitz Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 Colts’ Conviction, Belief Being Tested During Tough Stretch INDIANAPOLIS — First and Goal from the 1-yard line. It doesn’t get much sweeter than that for an NFL offense: three chances to push ahead just one yard and put six points on the board. The Indianapolis Colts faced that scenario early in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Thanks to an interception by safety Malik Hooker on the previous Jets drive, the Colts had prime field position, starting at the New York 35-yard line, and eventually, a six-yard run by Marlon Mack to the 1-yard line, moving the chains, set them up with three opportunities to take their first lead of the game. Snap Counts: Colts-Jets INDIANAPOLIS — It’s time to take a look at the unofficial snap counts from Sunday’s 2018 Week 6 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 Five Things Learned: Colts-Jets (Week 6) INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts fell to 1-5 on the season Sunday with a 42-34 loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. This one was rocky from the start for the Colts, who saw Andrew Luck’s second pass attempt of the day returned 17 yards for a touchdown by the New York defense. That theme would continue throughout the afternoon, although Indy, for a third straight week, was able to battle back and get to within one score, six points, into the second half. But the fact his team is once again looking at an error-filled contest was what was on head coach Frank Reich’s mind after this one. “Unfortunately it’s kind of a similar formula — just too many mistakes early,” Reich told reporters after the game. “I can just say this at the outset: I’m believing in what we’re doing. I believe in our guys. But we’ve just gotta play better football.” Here are the FIVE THINGS LEARNED from Sunday’s game against the Texans: PILING UP: Dropped passes. Penalties. Missed assignments. Poor execution. OFFENSIVE LINE STEPS UP: The Colts have already had numerous lineups up front along the offensive line this season, thanks mostly to injuries and other issues. TOUGH TO STOP: The Colts’ defense mostly did a terrific job in the first half, forcing two Jets turnovers on back-to-back possessions and putting the Indy offense in prime field position on both occasions (the Colts would only get field goals out of those drives, however). WELCOME BACK: The Colts on Sunday saw the return of several players from injury. NOTES OF INTEREST:
26CornerBlitz Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 Colts' Defense Moving Backward After Strong Start to Season Mike Wells ESPN Staff Writer EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Indianapolis Colts linebacker Anthony Walker let out a long sigh and then took a seat before talking. The second-year player is part of a defensive unit that carried the Colts early in the season. But on Sunday, the defense started strong before struggling the rest of the way when the offense was scrambling to get back in the game in a 42-34 loss to the New York Jets. "Definitely, we're frustrated," Walker said. "We're young -- don't want to hear that. We're a young team, but we're in the NFL. We had our chances but didn't make them. We have to make sure this isn't something that carries over."
26CornerBlitz Posted October 16, 2018 Author Posted October 16, 2018 Colts Daily Notebook: Colts Will Continue To Address Recent Drops Issue INDIANAPOLIS — Football is a funny game in the sense that some mistakes are crystal clear, while others require in-depth explanations. The most casual of fans probably can’t explain exactly why a linebacker was able to get free on a blitz to get a sack, but they can see a ball bounce off an open receiver’s hands and know, quite simply, what the issue was on that particular play. The Indianapolis Colts’ receivers have struggled at times in recent games to haul in every catchable pass thrown their way. And, because it’s so obvious when it happens during the course of a game — especially when the drops come at crucial junctures of crucial drives — the problem seems to have been magnified the last two or three weeks, especially. Had it been an issue for one game, or maybe two, head coach Frank Reich could justify just shaking it off. But he told reporters today the drops now are “past the point of, ‘OK, that was a fluke.’” But are the Colts hitting the panic button at this point? Absolutely not.

zow2 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Shame because Peterman actually threw an awesome TD pass to Zay and managed to even find Holmes over the middle on 3rd and 15. But how do they allow him to throw that sideline out pattern yet again?!?!? DB's are just salivating when he comes into a game, waiting on that throw. His only plays should be hand off, screen pass or work the middle (or over the top). And even then he will get picked off eventually. 5 1
