It is just me this week. It's Christmas Eve. 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: We wanted to get an episode out to everyone, but 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: seeing as it's about eight o'clock on Christmas Eve, no 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: Bill Brooks today. We're all gonna go spend some time 14 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: with our families. But again, just wanted to get a 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: quick episode out to everyone here before we go start 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: celebrating Christmas. The Colts lose twenty nine to ten to 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons in Week sixteen. I mean certainly a 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: disappointing loss for the Colts, only ten points. That is 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: tied for the Colts season low. But the Falcons putting 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: up twenty nine with Taylor Heineke stepping in a quarterback. 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: The Falcons made that switch last week, going on benching 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter, but the Colts they gave up big plays 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: in this game. The Falcons were able to get eighteen 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: plays that generated ten or more yards, eleven plays that 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: got fifteen or more yards. They had explosive touchdowns to 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts on a pass that opened the scoring, and 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: then Tyler Algier ripped off a thirty one yard touchdown 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: run in the third quarter. The big problem in this 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: game for the Colts was Bjon Robinson. The Falcons are 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: running back top ten pick. Obviously, he's an incredible player, 31 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: Zia Franklin said after the game. You know he told 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Bijon once the final whistle hit, hey, you know you're 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: an exceptional athlete, an incredible player. But the Colts really 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: had problems getting Bijon Robinson to the ground. The Falcons 35 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: did a good job getting him out in space, making 36 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: him difficult to bring down. In this game, Bijon Robinson, 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: according to Pro Football Focus, forced eleven miss tackles on 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: his twenty two touches. He gained one hundred and twenty 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: two on his twenty touches. Excuse me, he gained one 40 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two yards on those touches and it 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: was a challenge for the Colts to get off the 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: field in some situations. The Falcons maybe weren't as efficient 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: as you would think on third down based on their 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: point total, but there was one that was kind of 45 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: a backbreaker. The Falcons only converted five to thirteen third 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: down tries. The one that was a backbreaker came after 47 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: Matt Gay hit a field goal to bring the score 48 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: to twenty to ten in the second half. John new 49 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: Smith caught a quick, little screen kind of flare pass 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: from Taylor Heineke and rumbled fifteen yards on third and 51 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: fourteen to pick up a first down. That kind of 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: felt like a backbreaker in the moment of this game. 53 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: The Colts, you know, on offense, weren't able to move 54 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: the football with any consistency. After the first drive of 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: the game, Colts go thirteen players game seventy five yards 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: to open the game. Jonathan Taylor gets a touch down, 57 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: punches it in on third and goal from the one. 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce will Mallory make big plays on that drive. 59 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: Including Alec Pierce getting a pass interference flag in the 60 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: end zone. But after that everything kind of dried up. 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: After that drive, Jonathan Taylor carried twelve times for twenty 62 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: one yards. That's an average of one point eight yards 63 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: per carry. After that first drive. Jen Stichen was asked 64 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: but asked about it after the game and he said, 65 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, look, if I had an answer for it, 66 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: we probably would have. You figured it out during the game. 67 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: Something the Colts are gonna have to go back to 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: the drawing board with. On offense, it looked like they 69 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: were trying to kind of pass to get the Falcons 70 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: out of some of their run defense looks, but without 71 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, there were some issues in the passing game. 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: The Colts had a season high six drops in this 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: game that again according to Pro Football Focus, a couple 74 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: of other things. Just to touch on. The defense did not 75 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: generate a takeaway for the first time in nineteen games. 76 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: That snapped a nineteen game takeaway streak that was the 77 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: longest active streak in the NFL. Falcons did a good 78 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: job not really putting the ball in Harmon's way. There 79 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: was maybe only one opportunity in maybe two opportunities I 80 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: should say in this game for the Colts to get 81 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: a takeaway late in the first half, Zire Franklin jumped 82 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: a pass from Taylor Heinike was not able to come 83 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: down to the interception. And then to open the second half, 84 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke fumbled the snap to open the third quarter. 85 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: He was able to recover at Grover Stewart dove in there, 86 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: just wasn't able to get the ball. Those kind of 87 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: the two chances the Colts had to take the ball 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: away and flip momentum were not able to do it. 89 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: And then the Colts only got one sack in this game. 90 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: Could he Pay brought down Taylor Heinike just behind the 91 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage It was It went for a zero 92 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: yard sack that did set an Indianapolis era record with 93 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: the Colts forty seventh sack of the season. That is 94 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: the most the team has had since the nineteen seventies. 95 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: But again, the Colts, this is a team that had 96 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: really built their defense on takeaways and sacks. They were 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: third in the NFL in both categories. Entering Week sixteen, 98 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: they only had one sack and no takeaways. Another key 99 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: moment in this game, the Falcons go, the Colts get 100 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: a stop down in their own territory. In Colts territory, 101 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: yunghay Ku doinks a kick off the right update but upright, 102 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: but a mere speed was lined up off side, so 103 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: the kick was negated. Falcons get a fourth and short, 104 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: they go for it, they convert it. They wind up 105 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: going down still getting a field goal, but another moment 106 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: in this game of the Colts just were not able 107 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: to seize momentum back from the Falcons, who just continued 108 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: building it and building it as the game went on. 109 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Talking to guys in the locker room after the game, 110 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: there was this sense of obviously disappointment and frustration, but 111 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew said something that really resonated with the guys. 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: He talked about not taking this opportunity for granted, not 113 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: looking at it and seeing, all right, well, you know, 114 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: Atlanta just lost to Caroline, a two win team. They 115 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: just lost that game nine to seven last week, and hey, 116 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: we just blew out the Steelers. This should be a 117 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: game we should win, you know. Garda Mitchu said, no, 118 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: it's not how this works. You have to go out 119 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: and earn it every week. But also don't take these 120 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: opportunities for granted. I think for a young team, those 121 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: words really resonated because there are a lot of guys 122 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: who are in the middle of their first playoff runner. 123 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Even if they were here in twenty twenty one when 124 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: the Colts did not make the playoffs, they were still 125 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: in it that year, even back into twenty twenty the 126 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Colt when the Colts did make the playoffs. This is 127 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: a team that's been in the playoff hunt in three 128 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: of the last four years down the stretch, and you know, 129 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: Garda Minchho's message was, Hey, these opportunities are rare. You 130 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: cannot think they're gonna happen every year. You don't know 131 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: when the next one is going to come, and it's 132 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: important to just take advantage of the opportunity that the 133 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Colts have right now. That really resonated with guys. Zire 134 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Franklin talked about it. You know, we'll see how the 135 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: Colts bounce back now coming out of this loss, but 136 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: this is a team that has bounced back before. The 137 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: Colts lost two weeks ago by twenty to the Cincinnati 138 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: Bengals on the road, they came back and then blew 139 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: up the Pittsburgh Steelers a week, so this team does 140 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: have some resiliency week to week, but also understands that 141 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: right now it's crunch time. There is no more margin 142 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: for error in this AFC playoff race. The Colts are 143 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: still seventh as we speak right now. That will not 144 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: be changed by the outcome of the Denver Broncos New 145 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: England Patriots game tonight. The Colts are seven in the 146 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: AFC with an eight and seven record, But crucially, the 147 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: Colts do not control their own destiny when it comes 148 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. There is a situe. There is a 149 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: scenario where if the Colts win out and results break 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: the way of the Cincinnati Bengals, that the Bengals and Colts, 151 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: if they are both, if they're the only two teams 152 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL the ten and seven record going at 153 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: the end of the season, then the Bengals will make 154 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs over the Colts based on the head to 155 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: head tiebreaker that the Bengals have coming from Week fourteen. Now, 156 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: that takes a lot to happen. It starts with the 157 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars winning their final two games. The Jaguar's lost badly 158 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: today to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thirty to twelve. Trevor 159 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: Lawrence exited that game with a shoulder injury. We'll keep 160 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: an eye on that. Lawrence has been really banged up 161 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks with an ankle injury, 162 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: a concussion, and now the shoulder. The Jaguars get the 163 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: Panthers at home next week, and then they go on 164 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: the road to the Titans to end the season. Tennessee 165 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: certainly would love to spoil the Jaguars season there. If 166 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: the Jags go one and one, the Colts go two 167 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: to zero down the stretch, Colts win the division. There 168 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: is a possibility that the Colts Week eighteen game against 169 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: the Texans, if the Jaguars are losing to the Titans, 170 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: that game would be for the AFC South. Now the 171 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: Texans they lost also badly thirty six to twenty two 172 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns. They were without CJ. Stroud for 173 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: the second straight week, but Joe Flacco and Amari Cooper 174 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: diced up that Texans defense. Sorry to anyone who had 175 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: to go up against Amary Cooper in fantasy this week, 176 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: that was probably a miserable experience for you. But that 177 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: means every team in the AFC South that is still 178 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: in contention to win the divisions eight and seven. The 179 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars still have the tiebreaker over the Texans and Colts, 180 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: but if the Jaguars lose a game and the Colts 181 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: win out, the Colts still will win the AFC South. 182 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: So that is kind of the headline of what the 183 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: Colts are looking at down the stretch. The wild cards 184 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: still definitely a possibility. The Bengals have a tough re 185 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: mating schedule. They go to the Chiefs next week and 186 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: then they host the Browns, and the Bengals are coming 187 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: off a thirty four to eleven loss to the Pittsburgh 188 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: Steelers on Saturday. This is gonna get interesting. It was 189 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: last week it kind of felt like the Colts won 190 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: and everyone else did in the wildcard race. This week, 191 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: it feels like the Colts lost and everyone else lost 192 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: in the AFC wildcard race. As you look at the 193 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: number seven seed right now, it's gonna be a real 194 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: interesting finish to the season. The Colts do have a 195 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: lot of confidence, even though today, you know, you look 196 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: at the result, weren't able to move the ball insistently, 197 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: weren't able to stop the Falcons consistently, but this is 198 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: a team that has shown some pretty good resilience all year. 199 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: You think about coming off the three game losing streak 200 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: and then winning four in a row, coming off the 201 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: loss to the Bengals, and then beating the Steelers. Now 202 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: it's time for the Colts to get resilient once again 203 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: with the Las Vegas Raiders coming to town on New 204 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: Year's Eve. The Colts will finish out the season with 205 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders and then the Houston Texans one other just 206 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: final overarching thought about the Colts Falcons game. Sometimes these 207 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: games happen, and it was the Colts have had these, 208 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: you know again this year where you think about the 209 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: loss to the Saints where they weren't able to slow 210 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: down that New Orleans offense. But ultimately it's a week 211 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: to week league and something that a number of players 212 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: echoed after the game was you can't let one loss 213 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: become two and you can't let one win color how 214 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: you view the end upcoming game. And it kind of 215 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: feels like the Colts really are taking that message to heart. 216 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: After you know you're riding high after beating the Steelers, 217 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew made mention you maybe the Colts didn't have 218 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: the right sense of urgency this week. But now the 219 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Colts this is a lesson for them, and it's one 220 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: that they are going to have to learn from going 221 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: down the stretch here where they don't totally control their destiny. 222 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: But there's a really good chance that if the Colts 223 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: went out, they will still be in the playoffs, so 224 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: still a lot of opportunity ahead of the Indianapolis Colts 225 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Anyways, that's going to do it 226 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: for this abbreviated one man episode of Instant Reaction here 227 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: on the Colts Audio Network.
