According to one poster. The Jags win was a conspiracy orchestrated by the NFL to get the Steelers in the playoffs.

Unless the NFL told the Colts to not run the ball, I don't know how they did it. Taylor was killing the Jags and they just didn't run him enough.

It was like Bevell was calling the plays.

The colts could run the until they couldn't. The jags d was too much today just like the game vs the Bill's.

For the nfl conspiracy theory to work, you have to have a lot of penalties against the colts

Every board is required to have a conspiracy theorist.  Ours is ??

A new broom always sweeps clean.

Lol. It’s funny but it does seem so weird they played so poor and we played so well, w railways seem to play the colts tough down here though. Tough loss.

Their game day thread is better. Especially when you read the couple pages before it started.

That's how bad this was.

LOL

The defense was OK but the Colts were forcing the passing game. They were putting themselves in 2nd and long all day. Taylor was gaining lots of yards in space but they couldn't run the ball straight up the middle. The play calling was terrible and the opposite of any game plan I would have used to beat the Jags.

I agree with that, it's so bad someone has to take blame and be fired. It's the 1st time a loss like that has happened since the merger.

I just watched the highlights on youtube and Adam Archuleta was practically having a meltdown. He's pretty happy before he realizes what is actually happening and he is dumbfounded.

Go whinge to someone who will listen you candy [BLEEP] putz.

In all fairness I said a couple days ago we'd win if the NFL was rigged, since Ben is retiring. It's kinda funny

"I never expected to be sitting here having this moment right now, not like this," Colts coach Frank Reich said after the game. "We had a good week of practice. We had good preparation all week long, felt good energy the whole week, every day, every meeting. We felt like we had three good plans. We felt like the players were dialed in. We just didn't get it done today. We just didn't get it done, coaching or playing."

I'm sure all of those things are true, but he didn't take into account one key factor: complacency. Their last whooping of the Jags was a lasting impression, and they had no reason to believe today would be any different. Hell, no one else did either. They probably kept expecting the Jags to fold at any minute and by the time they realized it wasn't going to happen, it was too late.

The clots do not play well in Jacksonville. I don't know why people are surprised they lost today. They choked. Just like they did against the Raiders the previous week.

Happens every year to a lot of teams for various reasons. Look at the Cardinals. They lost the West to the Rams today after they got iced by Seattle. Look at the tacks. They sealed up the top seed despite being without Henry. After barely holding off the tinhorns.

Dolphins beat the Patriots today. Again, not uncommon. Even when Brady was there. It's good old fashioned division football folks. That's how it goes sometimes.

Also. The "OmG tHe StEeLeRs ArE GuNnA rUn ThE tAbLe NoW!". LOL. People do know the Ravens have been without Lamar Jackson now since week 14, correct? That game would have been different more than likely today had he been healthy.

The Steelers and Big Ben have been done since 2017. If The Chargers win tonight the Steelers are lined up against Kansas City. Oof.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Yea I thought it was odd too.  If you are an announcer in a game like that, having the colts win is pretty boring.  It's expected and creates no interest or drama.  But having the the jags win would create a bunch of drama and all sorts of crazy playoff scenarios.  So if if you are being completely impartial, you'd think there'd be more excitement in the underdog story than the expected favorite winning.

The only thing that was dull I suppose is that the Colts could never get it close.

Isn't the Colts on Hard knocks right now? if so this is going to be an amazing week to watch.

I got a chuckle out of the guy who said we just won our Super Bowl.

Perhaps it's me, but I always thought Super Bowl wins necessarily entailed beating teams that...you know...actually MAKE the playoffs.

Just saying...and laughing.
