People really think the Colts should have played for the tie?

On a fourth and four with two timeouts left at almost mid field when the other team has no timeouts and the Colts had two?

Then make the decision from the start. Don't waiver and send them out to "draw them offsides," start to send the punting unit, then send the offense back out. If you're not sure, then it's not going to work. And if you really want the win that much more than the tie, then you run a money play. Every team has a good 10 unstoppable plays that you can run once a season. Yet they didn't go with one. They got cute and lost becuase of it.

Imagine being this upset at a 2-2 start after a season where your team drastically overachieved on it's way to the Super Bowl you've wanted for so long. You should bow down to those guys even if they would've gone 0-16 this year.


On the opposite end of what he said the Falcons are like 1 minor missed play / dropped ball in all 3 of our games from being 4-0.   Which makes no damn sense at all considering how bad our defense is.

Yes because a loss -1 and a tie is -100. This was a divisional game so as of now not only did they help the Texans they just went below them in the standings because this is one of the tiebreaker games.

I agree with this.  The whole BS at the start with trying to draw them offsides shouldn't have happened, especially when you waste a timeout doing so.  And the play-call wasn't good either.

But I didn't mind them going for it.  Its risky, but the reward is high.  And at the end of the day, the difference between a loss and a tie is like .5.  A tie is better than a loss, but with the way Luck and the offense had been rolling, I understand why they had faith in them to get 4 yards.
