But then the offense should've been more focused so that we didn't have to rely on that JAG, whatever his name was.

But none of that absolves an offense that only scored three times out of a possible 9 scoring drives. That's not just way below KC's season average (also well below any Mahomes-led season), but far below the NFL average.

ST definitely hurt the cause, but they didn't decide the game. The offense scoring just 3 points in the entire second half with four possible scoring drives sealed their fate. Never mind scoring just twice out of five scoring drives in the first half.

Bottom line, it was an ugly game all around, but the offense's job is to score points. On at least 50% of their drives to be merely NFL average. Not even Chiefs average, which is more like 65% of the time.

That comment about the 2nd half scoring is kind of misleading in my view. They drove the field 50+ yards both times on two drives and the Special Teams group screwed up, cost them 6 points combined on those two drives. It's a team game. The Colts have a good defense.

You cannot afford to make the type of mistakes they were making on Special Teams in that game. Punt fumble to give the other team 7 points, two missed FG chances from easy range, another screwed up punt return that killed your Offense by sticking them at the 1 yard line. These type of mistakes blew up in their face against the Colts. They are lucky it didn't blow up in their face against the likes of the Rams & Niners. They cannot do that type of crap in the playoffs.

Welp, the old gut instincts failed me badly tonight

Glad it was only for this meaningless snoozer

[Megatron96]

Damn. If he scored, maybe this would be a game

[FloridaMan88]

The Colts are on SNF vs the Cowboys next week… JFC.

[Marcellus]

Taylor is still good. Shocking.

Our kicker of the day was Ammendola or whatever. You really think we should've trusted that guy's leg? We could lean on that guy for points? There's a good reason he was available. Because he's not very good.

They should've scored TDs and not even put it on that guy or the ST unit, if you want to blame an entire squad. Although, as I recall, they didn't have any trouble blocking or holding for him.

But they didn't. They were out of sync, and dropped passes, didn't hit open receivers, etc. And I'm not even blaming the offense that much, considering all the new faces there as well. But you're going to lose a lot of games if you decide to lean on some JAG you signed the week before to kick FGs in the NFL.

[Megatron96]

Cool. At least this might turn into a game. IND defense needs to get a stop.

Yikes. Seems like they would want to flex out of that one to something else. But who knows, maybe the Colts will give the Cowboys as tough of a game as the Colts gave the Chiefs & Eagles.

[Megatron96]

Come on IND. At least get a FG and make this kind of a game.

[Megatron96]

Wow. That was a really good run.

[Megatron96]

Ah, they're going no-huddle. Didn't notice that before. no wonder they're moving the chains.

[Marcellus]

Where the **** did Ryan get those hops?

[Megatron96]

Lol, I had no idea Ryan could jump that high or far.
