    Redzone was awful. If you can't get a yard you don't deserve to win. Run the ball up the middle or on an option with young, have him tuck it and barrel through. Fade routes set the team up for failure.

    Also, I get that Vince can throw inside the pocket now, but why not roll him out more??

    Fade was a bad call, but even worse throw... and the INT by VY can't happen... Bad decision

    It was not a bad throw. He threw it like you're taught to throw the fade. High and a deep. Britt did catch the ball and may have had a chance to land in bounds, but it didn't happen. Horrible play call and very tough to execute. Could Vince have thrown it better? Sure. On any other down but 4th that is perfectly acceptable call and a well thrown ball. Kenny was the only one with a shot at coming down with it.

    The int was both Britt and Vince's fault. Vince needs to understand that you don't always need to make a play; Britt needs to understand what to do to help a scrambling QB. You can't stop running.

    I hate it when fans always blame the "play-calling" after a loss.

    Gee, I always thought that was part of being a fan! If you can't blame the coach, who can you blame? ;)

    If the pass wasn't able to be caught in bounds how was it thrown the way your supposed to throw it?

    The reason we lost are the Colts are a 12-0 team they are that good we are a young team still growing with a few Vets. We are a 5-7 team that lost 6 straight in the begging it was going to be almost a miracle to make the playoffs. No 1 person to blame everybody made mistakes today.

    It looked to me like it could have been caught in bounds. It would have been a great catch, but it certainly was possible. He went up in the air with about a yard to spare till the sideline and landed just out of bounds. The fade is designed to give the offensive player the only shot at the ball. That is what happened and what was thrown. Could it have been thrown better? Sure. But it wasn't a "terrible" throw. It wasn't perfect. It needed to be. This is why you don't run a fade on 4th down. Even the best Qbs in the game are going to hit the fade perfectly less than 50% of the time.

    We are who they thought we are.....

    Red zone inefficiency and turnovers killed us. You just can't let that happen against the colts.

    I think britt fell down on the INT. The TV didn't show it but it looked like he was open and slipped... Vy went and talked to britt and patted him on the back of the helmet immediately after.
