The Official Eat Crow Thread! I will be the first to eat!

I don't think I saw a single hole for Robinson in the second half.
Still a lot of trouble stopping the run
While I couldn't watch the whole game I didn't see anything from Chaisson
Nothing from the TE's
O-line is not good

Great win and I hope they keep it up.

I hope that this is something that I'll eat future crow about, but I wonder if the Colts weren't taking an undrafted rookie running back seriously in the first half.  People are quick to criticize Fournette, but it's very difficult for any running back to run into a wall of defenders.  Robinson saw that in the second half.  Fournette saw that in both halves last year.

As for stopping the run, it depended.  They actually did a surprisingly good job at stopping the run in obvious run situations.  The Colts tried to run it four times from the 12 yard line and got stopped on downs.  There were a couple of other times when they did an excellent job against the run on 1st and 2nd downs only to give up a pass on third down.  That being said, the team struggled when it wasn't an obvious run and they struggled majorly against screens and other short passes to running backs.

Chaisson did have an interception that was called back on an irrelevant penalty on another player.  It's true that he didn't get as much pressure as I would have hoped, but you need to consider:  1.  The Colts have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.  2.  Rivers has a quick release.  3.  The Jaguars rarely blitzed.  4.  It was Chaisson's first game.

I agree that we could use more from the TE's.  Both Eifert and O'Shaughnessy had a reception but only for a combined 8 yards.  That being said, the game plan was clearly to spread the ball around.  10 different Jaguars players caught receptions.

The o-line actually looked better than I thought.  Although four sacks, a couple of those could be blamed on Minshew holding onto the ball for too long.  Robinson also had some nice holes to run through in the first half prior the Colts making adjustments.
