FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THEY WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE!!!!!!
Now that we got that out of the way, I’m not going to let myself be angry.
The loudest of neighs go out to the Indianapolis Colts organization.
Even I had expected something close to that.
I thought, “Fuck it, might as well get another top 5 draft pick.”
But holy shit were we wrong.
As far as today’s game went, it got off to a hot start.
Colts offense looks just fine and dandy on their opening drive.
Even though they had to settle for a field goal, the vibes in Lucas Oil were immaculate.
Then a minute later the vibes flipped on their head.
At that point Jim Irsay should have popped initiate the roof.
The Colts could clearly trigger the ball.
The Texans couldn’t.
Let the elements come into play Jim.
I have to think that would have benefited the Colts.
They couldn’t do shit on offense outside of Jonathan Taylor.
JT showed the fuck up today with 30 carries for 188 yards and a huge touchdown.
Outside of him, they could not have looked more pathetic on offense in that first half.
But still they were in it.
The way I saw the first half, I think the Texans played FAR too conservative.
They had multiple opportunities to step on our throats.
Two times at or inside the 50 yard line they decided to punt on 4th and short (i.e.
Both at times where they were moving the ball fairly easily.
But DeMeco Ryan went conservative and pinned the Colts deep.
I think the measure of a bad punt is when the opposing fans are all relieved by it.
Not to mention a Texans' season high in penalties.
The gave the Colts tons of second chance opportunities, and bailed them out of multiple bad situations.
I could have easily been a 2-3 score game.
But because of that, the Colts went into halftime down only 1 score.
But it wasn’t enough in the end.
The missed 57 yard field goal by Matt Gay killed us.
A huge missed tackle when we had the Texans at 2nd & 20 in the 4th quarter killed us.
Stroud to Niko Collins combo repeatedly killed us over and over then fucked our dead corpse.
The Colts had their shot on the final drive too.
Texans left the door open with a missed extra point.
Our last drive went exactly as they wanted it to.
They ran the clock down to almost zero so to not give the Texans offense any time.
But they FUCKING couldn’t finish in the end.
I don’t want to question Shane Steichen, because he’s been nothing but incredible all year.
He was a legitimate Coach of the Year candidate.
But idk about those last couple plays.
Only to put in Tyler Goodson lined up next to Gardner Minshew in shotgun formation.
And drop the ever living shit out of the football.
But that drops not on Steichen.
Hard to give him too much shit when he called a perfect play in the end.
You have to trust any skill position on your roster to make that play.
Unless his name is Kadarius Toney.
Tough way to go out for the Colts.
The Colts gave us 18 weeks of meaningful football this year.
Every Sunday we had a reason to watch (except for maybe that one Germany game against the Patriots.
Not sure if that one was worth waking up before noon).
That was more than any Colts fan could have hoped for or expected this season.
Keep in mind that a football season is about more than on the field success.
Football is about the fun you had along the way.
(The whale died before it could be transported.
It’s very possible Jim Irsay killed that whale).
Then proceeding to get in a pissing match with ESPN’s First Take.
A pissing match which included Jim Irsay referencing his “Black mother Dorothy
I found Dorothy by the way.
That’s ok though.
The Colts will be back again next year.
Almost certainly in the exact same position as they were this year.
Regardless of who’s playing quarterback.
Yes, I am concerned that ourbestquarterback, Anthony Richardson, is made entirely of glass.
The Colts are who they always are.
