Steichen lost the game on a bad 3rd down, conservative run call

[WayneFleekHoosier]

WE TRY TO WIN THE GAME BY PASSING TO MOTHER ******* GOODSON??  REALLY???
Steichen had a great season ruined by a total dog **** decision

That’s tough. Had it all lined up to win.

What a shock. Dude is open and Minshew does what he does best. Makes a bad throw. 

 

So we should just cut Alec Pierce. What a waste of a second round pick. Absolute bust.

Welp, I don’t have to worry about the Colts anymore

The pass wasn't great, but it hit him in the hands.  Both hands.  Drop is on the receiver.  Loss is on the decision to put the season on whoever the **** Goodson is.

Agreed on Pierce though

Hated that call with a passion. Goodson had no carries and no catches and you just drew up the biggest play of the season for him? It’s the equivalent of Woody drawing up a game winner for Cupps. Of course you don’t.

It was the night of CJ's in Indiana for better or worse. One CJ (Gunn) had his best game of the season and made Indiana fans very happy while another (Stroud) broke the heart of many in the state.

Steichen once again getting cute with play calls and costing his team dearly. Quit trying to be the smartest guy in the room and RTDB. Leaving the game's must dominant player on the sideline with the season on the line only works in Hollywood. He needs to lose weeks of sleep over that and then never do it again.

Loved the play call. Drops/holding calls are an offenses worst enemy.

Would have rather seen the ball in Taylor's hands. Maybe he gets the first, maybe he doesn't, but if he doesn't, I doubt anyone would be saying the Colts should have thrown it instead.

You need one yard to extend your season. So why call a play that includes the possibility of an offense's worst enemy?

Opposed to getting stuffed on 4th and 1/3rd and 1... like they had all game? 

And literally the play before. 

I find this a non-story. It was pretty clearly the correct play call, my god, how much more open/better of a spot does a coach need to put two players in?

It's not so much the spot, it's the player.  Season on the line, you need one yard.  Goodson is your guy?  Terrible decision

Agree. To me, it’s the equivalent of Woody drawing up a sweet BLOB game-winner for Cupps. That’s not the guy who’s gonna win or lose the game for me. It’s gonna be Taylor or Pittman or Downs or someone else you’ve relied on all year.

Ahh. I don't share that opinion. That's ok though. 

I also would have been fine with hammering Taylor there, but I understood the thinking behind not going to him there. You'd hammered him all drive and were going to have to more if you converted there. 

I didn't love Goodsons angle to start his route, I thought he needed to create more width and that would have made things a lot simpler.

Sigh…Colts would have been AFC South champs and have a playoff home game, instead they are sitting on a couch

Dolphins are pissed about this too. Win and host one of the hotter teams in the league, lose and…….Playoff Arrowhead. Oof. 

A lot to play for there still thankfully.

If I was Miami I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather go to KC. They are really not the same team. But Miami feels to me like a total fraud and they’re beat up to boot.

They’ve been a really fun watch on Hard Knocks, but I agree. Beating Buffalo twice in a row would be a TOUGH ask.

At the same time, having neither of your starting outside pass rushers and CB2 against Mahomes or Allen is about a death blow itself. McDaniel might just run up to Jacksonville and kick Pederson and Trevor Lawrence right in the shin.
