Steubenhoosier Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 As far as Vinatieri goes, the kicks were long enough--leg strength definitely still there. Not sure if something got in his head, but find it strange that all 3 misses came at the same end of the field. Which also leads to why, when the Chargers won the overtime coin flip, did the Colts choose to head in that same direction. In the end it didn't matter. Also, the Hooker one-handed interception may be the best defensive play we'll see all year. On to the next one. Not dismayed, but this game was there for the taking.

I hope this 1 does not come back to bite us in terms of playoffs. Like you said it was right there for a win. We only had a few penalties the whole game but 2 of them gave the Chargers 11 pts. That coupled with the 7 left on the field by Adam, it could have easily been a 2 touchdown win for the Colts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Looking at Colts schedule. Everyone knows the Colts domination of Titans over the years but that was with #12. Hopefully the go down there and get the win because if they do that it should setup a 3-1 month. Obviously everything can change with injuries but I still see a 10+ win team...maybe 11.

rico Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 When the schedule came out I had the Chargers marked down as loss and that was with Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think the colts will win their division assuming injuries aren't factor. IMO, Week 1 is really strange because teams treat Pre-season so lightly to keep player healthy. There are the new rules concerning how much practice time the player go through with relation to 2 a days. Brissett played a lot while the Luck situation played out. So he looked pretty sharp in what I saw. Was flipping through games so didn't see it all. There are some exceptions but teams just look out of sync on offense in week 1.

Pretty much if you take the special teams mistakes away this game was a win. You had 3 missed kicks by a HOF kicker, a block punt and a penalty that enabled LA to score 7 instead of 3.

Total team effort is needed in the NFL to win, that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 this is how I saw the game yesterday Both offense were really good so I call it even Both defenses were not really very good so it was even Special Teams Colts were horrible and LA was a lot better except for the one fumble so this is where LA won the game.

That whole organization needed a win. With Chiefs, at Vikings, at Colts, vs Bears in England over the next 4 that was their best chance at one.
