Quick Recap: Chiefs 28, Colts 24

All the good things the Colts did in the first half completely went by the wayside in the second, where they were outplayed and outcoached on their way to a 28-24 loss to the Chiefs, after jumping out to a 17-0 lead. The Offense only had 69 yards in the second half, including 39 on their final drive which ended with an incompletion on 4th down at the KC 42 yard line.
The Chiefs did basically whatever they wanted Offensively after the first quarter and a half, where they scored TD drives of 70, 80, 93, and 54 yards, all Matt Cassel TD passes. They also ran the ball more than effectively, shredding the tired Colts defense. Once again we saw very few adjustments once the Chiefs started moving the ball, and we continually saw Jacob Lacey get abused by Dwayne Bowe, a Pro Bowl WR, somebody Lacey never should be covering one-on-one. But this has become par for the course for these Colts, who are now the first team to get to 0-5 on the season.
Joseph Addai injured his hamstring in the second quarter, and Jerraud Powers also injured his hamstring in the fourth quarter. Powers's injury came at the wrong time, as the Chiefs went right after replacement Chris Rucker, and Steve Breaston scored the game-winning touchdown. I didn't see any other injuries, but we'll find out more tomorrow.
I'm trying hard to find positives coming out of today's game, but there aren't many. The Colts didn't turn the ball over, but forced no turnovers, and we saw yet another week where neither the Offense or Defense performed in the second half. The long season just got longer.

For all you poilan fans
That believe our defense was built to play with a lead, u are as cluest as the rest of the Colts organization. We have not held a lead this year against Browns, steelers, bucs and now chiefs.

Pathetic display
This team deserves to join the Lions at 0-16.
I’m convinced the only reason Peyton signed with this team was that he couldn’t pass the physical anywhere else.
Re: Pathetic Display
They blow and it starts from the top down. Coyer needs to go. Caldwell needs to go. Christiansen needs to go. And most of all FUCKING JACOB LACEY NEEDS TO GO. Ricardo Matthews would make a better cornerback than that turd. Gee, the Chiefs keep throwing to their Pro Bowler Dwayne Bowe. Wonder what we should do? I know! Let’s keep a dude that is 5’2 with no skills out there and hope he steps up!
3 conclusions from a disgusted dolphins fan desperate for luck
1. Everyone knew you had some holes on your roster and that Manning carried your team, but this is still a ridiculous fall from grace. Granted you have mad injuries, but then what’s up with your med/conditioning team?
2. Caldwell is the biggest joke coach in the NFL (that’s hard to say when Sparano is your coach) – he is 80% of your problem. Surely Manning himself could do better.
3. Is the order coming from above to throw the season? That’s what it looked like today blowing such a lead. If so, this is a disgrace. We should be the only ones allowed to throw the season – you HAVE a legendary QB.
God damn it, you’re getting luck, aren’t you. F—k.

I'll confess
Once our lead got down to 3 points I was secretly hoping we’d lose. At that point the first half looked like an aberration, might as well play for draft positioning.
A handful of butterflies have more brain, than Colts coaching staff
Caldwell, Coyer, not letting Kevin Thomas play and not benching Lacey (and Johnson). RETARDS. Zero adjustment. Heard about double coverage, or run blitz????
Polian on Monday: “Cassel is an outstanding QB, he is a Pro Bowler, maybe an All-pro too, and we are not responsible. Caldwell is a good coach, it would be a bad idea to bench Lacey, he was not bad. And we should punt with nearly 3 minutes to go from the Chiefs 45, the D can hold them”…..FU Polian in advance!

Curtis Painter is much better than I for one gave him credit but he is not good enough to win on this team. This team has a half a dozen good players and the rest of team is made up of non NFL talent.

idk...
I think he is actually good enough to win. Other guys/coaching/defense just let him down.

We keep getting teased.........
Painter starts to look like he knows what he’s doing, then Clark comes down with Garconitis. The defense plays lights out for a quarter and a half then goes on vacation. Missed tackles are becoming the norm again. Coaching continues to suck in a big way. It’s not like me to be this negative, but damn, I’m sure tired of leaving the place I watch the games in a black depression. Why in the hell is Lacey still playing? Not looking so good for this batch of road games coming up. I have to go wash the poop off my shoes now.
At the sport's bar,....
every time I saw the Colts on the bad end of a play…..Lacey was right there in the thick of it. What do the Colts’ coaching staff need in order to get rid of this guy? Again, it’s called failing to adjust.
I love the Colts..but
I’m done with this season, until we change coaching this ship will continue to sink. We have been good enough to win most of the games we have played, but the coaching staff makes no changes, they become so predictable run, run throw over and over, call a pass on 3rd and one. It’s time for a coaching change.
You're describing
the Bucs’ offense under Dungy, when Christensen was offensive coordinator. Now, we got him. Aren’t we lucky?
Our third round Thomas inactive again....
and somewhere in New York, Justin Tryon is laughing his ass off….!
Fuck Caldwell and Coyer!!!
0-5! Lord, please stop the bleeding!
You guys tell me we are winning 17-0, and we lose. I don’t see the COLTS winning a single game this season.
Not going to happen..
The next 3 games on the road are going to be painful..
Had Clark not stunk up the place the offense may have been a little more productive in the second half. But overall, yeah this game was not good. You don’t blow 17 point leads no matter who it’s against or who isn’t playing for you.
clark has sucked dick all season
it’s like he is a different player. can’t block, can’t catch

The only thing that can be said is our secondary is atrocious. Every single CB gives 10 yards to every receiver. Caldwell has to go.

I was writing a list of all of the problems this team has but it got too long.
What that tells me is this team is devoid of competent leadership from the top down. The defensive schemes, terrible special teams and even worse secondary and safety play kill us every year. On top of that, when veterans like Clark shit the bed like he did today, there is no hope.
i listened to it on the radio coming back from a short vacation
and it sounds to me like our coaches cannot make ANY half-time adjustments, it’s pathetic

Next chance to win a game.. Jacksonville is my bet!
No way we go into Cincinnati, New Orleans, or Tennessee and win..
it's sad, i just don't see us winning a single game
our offense is pretty bad, but our defense is just atrocious. i honestly feel this would be a .500 team w/peyton
Whenever you get stressed, always remember: RDWHAHB
This could have been a .500 team
with Painter, if there had only been competent coaching. Peyton would have the Colts in a winning record probably. He’s that good.

I think we may have a chance against Atlanta.. But @New England and @Baltimore.. Those could be some ugly games..
seriously!??
I dont see how we can stop Turner, also Roddy White and Julio Jones against our CBs…oh lord!!!!
No way in hell we have a chance against Atlanta. If the Chiefs beat us what do you think Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Michael Turner and Tony Gonzalez are gonna do to us. I just looked at our remaining schedule and I honestly don’t believe we will beat any of our opponents. Jacksonville? Forget about it. Jones Drew will kill us
Hahahahahaha
Have a chance against Atlanta? Seriously?
They do have a couple of wideouts at 6’3"+ and this guy named Turner, as well as HOF’er at TE…guy by the name of Gonzalez.
No way in hell we’re beating the Falcons, unless ATL just implodes for 4 quarters.
It's a tough time for Boilermaker football fans.
We suck
No D…we.can’t run…..injuries mounting…..Addai and Powers with hamstrings to add to the rest that are hurt…..Coyers sucks as D coordinator….special teams suck their coach needs to go……this is just not the same team Manning or no Manning…we aren’t very good at anything….it is like we did not show after the middle of the 2nd quarter….we suck..we deserve to 0-5….wait till NE…they will kill us…everyone will kill us…even if the offense did better today the D gave it all up….pisses the hell out of me.
I wish I could say you were being too negative, but I can't. The defense does not need to
try to suck for Luck, because they simply suck and have suck for years. Manning has hidden it by scoring so frequently. They are fully exposed now.
The entire coaching staff
must be sent packing. If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind whether or not Caldwell and his staff should stick around then today’s game should have answered that question. This was a game that should have been won. How does a team go into the half with that kind of a lead and then comes out in the second half and does absoulutely nothing. Zero adjustments, zero game plan, zero thought put into what kind of adjustments the other team will try to make. Caldwell has proven to be a coach in title only because he certainly is no football coach. I would take any of the local high school coaches at this point then this guy. I have been a season ticket holder for many years but i will refuse to continue to spend my hard earned money again on those tickets next year if this clown and his staff are still “leading” this team.

I hate to say this
But, with an incompetent Head Coach and a clueless Defensive Coordinator, the Indianapolis Colts will not win another Super Bowl regardless if Peyton Manning is behind center or not.
This team needs to be rebuilt again from it’s coaching staff to it’s players, Im talking new scheme/philosophy and players who love being aggressive instead of “soft”. Bill Polian needs to let go of his “Im the best GM at finding undrafted gems” ego.

Agreed
Forget about undrafted free agent gems already. How about some drafted gems for crying out loud. Because of the drafting that has taken place over the past four or so years, this team has major voids in it. Its almost as if we havent drafted in many years beacuse with the exception of a few players, the majority of our draft picks are either no longer with the team or are doing nothing to contribute to the team
Our drafting isn't good?
What? you don’t think Donald Brown is going to lead us to the promised land?

Well played.
I would like to see a list of all of our drafts picks since, lets say 2006. Then see how many of those picks are still on the team and of those that still are, how many are starting/contributing. Maybe a just found something to do tonight…
The Colts could draft Bozo 'the clown'
and Irsay would still give dumbshit Polian a pass. That’s how delusional Irsay is. We can talk all day long about how Lacey should have done this, and how the schemes and strategy suck, and how we need bigger players, etc.,… but the problems with this team start with the owner and the guy he hired to run the team for the past 13 years. Bottom line.

0-16
Since the Colts turned their backs on the chance to go 16-0 maybe the football Gods are finally having their revenge on this team.
Wouldn't that mean you play two already locked in playoff teams in game 15 and 16,
they rest their starters, Colts win the 2 games, and lose out on draft position?

Defensive Statistics
Matt Cassel – 21/19, 257 yards, 4 TD/0 INT, 138.9 rating
Rushing – 38 attempts, 194 yards, 5.1 yards/attempt
Can’t stop the run, can’t stop the pass, can’t stop them from scoring.
Freeney got 1.5 sacks and Angerer got another 15 tackles on an otherwise putrid defense.
Offensive Statistics
Curtis Painter – 15/27, 277 yards, 2 TD/) INT, 115.8 rating
Rushing – 27 attempts, 78 yards, 2.9 yards/attempt (Brown 4.8 ypa; Carter 1.8 ypa)
Only chance to win is for offense to score 30. And, this will require Painter to throw more.
No chance
Both of those teams play us hard every time we play them. With the Colts playing the way they are now both of these teams will embarrass us. Jones Drew and Chris Johnson will put up monster numbers on our defense.
I think the Colts will be underdogs in both games.
However, Jaguars are playing a rookie QB and the Titans are really struggling to run the ball (in spite of Johnson). So, I think the Colts do actually have a chance to beat at least one of these teams at home. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if they lost both.
Have you seen how we play against backup QB's & rookies? Two words:

Colts need to fire the defensive coordinator...
Typically, I don’t like the in-season firing, but there is really no down side to dumping Coyer. Dump him and see if one of the assistants can figure out to make some changes that will improve performance.
Damn Right
Coyer has sucked for two seasons. He can’t be watching the same game thats on the field cause he plain suxxx. This guy doesn’t know how to make adjustments during the game. So he’s utterly useless. As for the defense itself, if you can’t tackle and you keep getting burned then you don’t belong here!
I hear what you're saying
however, with our secondary, that rookie QB may just have career games. As for as the Titans go, it all depends which Titans team shows up. The one that destroyed the Ravens or the one that let Big Ben throw 5 TD passes today.
A no-QB mock
1 WR Justin Blackmon 6’1 – 215 Oklahoma State…….Trade back, pick up extra ‘13 1st and ’12 2nd rounder
2 OLB Zach Brown 6’2 – 230 North Carolina
2 CB Johnthan Banks 6’1 – 185 Mississippi State ……Extra
3 OG Kevin Zeitler 6’4 – 315 Wisconsin
3 CB Coryell Judie 5’11 – 190 Texas A&M………………Trade 2013 2nd rounder
4 SS Antonio Allen 6’2 – 205 South Carolina
5 OG Jaymes Brooks 6’2 – 310 Virginia Tech
6 CB Robert Blanton 6’1 – 200 Notre Dame
7 TE Kevin Koger 6’4 – 255 Michigan
We can have afford NO corners under 6 foot
And IMO need a top DT to go with Nevis, because Foster is unlikely to be healed (maybe ever) and Moala is horrid. Need another big O Tackle as well.
Like what I’ve seen from Zeitler from Wisc. ….haven’t seen much of Brooks from Va. Tech and Allen from So. Car would be a nice snag.
It's a tough time for Boilermaker football fans.
This screaming for coaches is not helpful
I think a little more analysis as to what’s happening in the second half of games is in order. Are we not adjusting? Are we gassed? Why is our passing game shut down? Why are we not throwing to Garcon in the second half? Why is Gonzales only brought in on one play? Why don’t we use Brown for short throws?
As for Painter, he’s getting there, but put him up against a great D and I think he’ll flounder. He’s a good backup, but not a good leading QB.
As for Luck, someone else mentioned, rather pragmatically, that Luck may turn out to be terrible in the NFL. Look at Tebow (at least for now).
I know it’s frustrating as fans not be part of the analysis, and not have control nor insight as to what happens behind closed doors. But I’m sure it’s not coaches, sitting there slack-jawed, wondering what to do. I think the root issue is that we don’t have the personnel on the team to play without a high powered offense. And I think we haven’t adjusted the size/quality of our DB’s in years. Finally, there’s parity in the NFL and so good teams have a hard time lasting forever. It’s catching up with us now. This will be a year in which we do some tough analysis as to where this team needs to go.
The games are like a microcosm of our seasons overall. First part of the game (season) looks great and we’re excited, only to find in the second half (playoffs) we don’t have any more gas in the tank, and the things that worked earlier in the game (season) don’t seem to work. Very frustrating, indeed.
Plus -
As I mull this more…the offense and defense impact each other. Maybe the D is gassed in the second half cause the offense is not getting 3rd down conversions? Maybe the defense being on the field so much is causing the offense to quickly get rusty or stiff.
....and maybe the coaching staff is completely and utterly clueless.

Whenever you get stressed, always remember: RDWHAHB
they are ill-equipped to a degree
but the scheme is piss-poor
Whenever you get stressed, always remember: RDWHAHB
By piss poor I think you mean
a) we’re not able to run it very well – and -
b) other teams have been able to adapt to it
As Dungy used to say, the only way Tampa 2 works is if it’s executed perfectly, everyone sticks to their gaps and responsibilities, and everyone flies to the ball and tackles well. Most of that is not happening anymore.
yep
that is why we need to change schemes, get more physical, next draft we should be thinking about drafting defensive players because the offense with PM18 should be fine
We can't properly evaluate Painter
and his future after only 2 games, on a team with a questionable coaching staff, leaky defense and a patchwork offensive line. He’s not going to be Peyton 2.0, but after what he’s showed in the short time he’s been given a serious opportunity, he’s done pretty well.
He’s certainly stunned the hell outta me.
It's a tough time for Boilermaker football fans.
Personnel on Defense = big problem
There is no question that this defense is lacking in high quality players. Long ago, the Colts decided to use their first round picks on offense. The only Colts’ 1st rounder currently playing is Dwight Freeney – drafted 10 years ago. When you starve your defense of first round talent for a decade, you get a defense filled with guys who are not quite as physically talented. Matthis is great, but he’s really too small to play the run. Bethea is productive but a step slow. Angerer is a tackling-machine, who gets dragged three yards by big running backs. And, these are the very best players on the defense.
They have
The defensive secondary is too awful to comment on.
I believe this offense could win games, but not with this defense.
I’d sack the entire staff right now and let a new one use the rest of the season for training purposes only.
There are still players who are fun to watch and root for, but this team is just plain bad.
Next pass Clark drops
Play Tamme for chrisakes. I don’t know what’s up with Clark, but he is sucking big time. Six drops in two games?
lost season?
once again it doesn’t surprise me that the fans seem to understand the problems the Colts have better than the coaches or the front office-and their problems do of course start from the top down-I’m sure you all know that this is not something that just happened this year-is been building year after year for roughly 5 seasons-what makes it so glaringly clear now is the absence of Peyton Manning-no he could not lead this mess to the Super Bowl, but he would win enough games to make them respectable and give the coaches and front office one more season to make lame-ass excuses for their poor job of coaching, drafting, free agent picks,on and on it goes , but now the chickens have come home to roost-so, the Colts are going to be bottom feeders for it while-and if Manning cannot return-woe is us
Really?
I’d imagine that if you took any fan from this forum and put them in charge of the Colts, I think the team would be even worse off. That’s what arm-chair quarterbacking is all about.
I’m not saying that there’s zero coaching issues, but I think it’s a combination of coaching problems, personnel problems, lack of Manning, salary caps, availability of better players… I think the Colts are in transition this year to hopefully a better scheme and better players. Imagine if we were one of those teams that perennially fired their staff. We’d be screaming about that as well.
Just like today – Caldwell decides to kick on 4th and 11, we post screaming. We luckily get a penalty and now it’s 4th and 6. Caldwell goes for it and misses, and we scream. Crazy. At 4th and 11, that’s quite a distance to go but then again our D is playing poorly – so punting seems like the right thing. At 4th and 6 it’s a bit easy and if it were not for a Gonzo drop do to PI, it would have had a good outcome.

[Funny phrase about how few followers I have on Twitter]
Enough about Lacey! - It is not just Lacey. It is the whole damn Defense.
If they cut Lacey tomorrow, every cover 2 team in the league would scramble to get him. The Lions would start him next week, because, while he is not very good, he is better than what they currently have at corner.
I refer you to Mr. Timothy Jennings – the prior “whipping boy” for Colts fans – who is the starting corner for the Chicago Bears. Oh, and Kelvin Hayden is playing for Atlanta right now.
You realize that half of the energy in this blog
is about finding a whipping boy. Last week people blasted Donald Brown for whiffing on a block, but ignored Addai doing it a few plays before hand. Painter sucked and people demanded Collins until Collins sucked and people demanded Painter.
I realize that. But, I thought I would bring a little reality
to the Lacey situation. None of the Colts corners are great at coverage. That’s why they weren’t high draft picks and why they play cover 2. But, if you think Lacey is bad, see how bad the guys further down the depth chart are. Matching him up, one-on-one, with a skilled wideout who is 6 inches taller is setting him up for failure. But I think Coyer chose that option to avoid even worse options.
Lacey isn't all that bad when utilized correctly.
He should not have had to cover Dwayne Bowe though..
