For the first time all season, the Colts' historically productive offense got shut down. And give the Steelers credit: They made the plays, especially on defense.
The Colts have been the the Steelers bitch since at least the 90s. Like Jacksonville we just throw up all over ourselves every time we play them. I could see this loss coming.
But seriously, how often are they going to turnover the ball six times? Despite that it was a competitive game. If the key to beating the Colts is forcing six turnovers, I'm confident the Colts will continue to win a lot of games!
I hang the bulk of the blame on the O-line and the coaching. That was far and away the worst game in a long while for the o-line. Didn’t love the play calling either as they should have been at least chipping those ends with Warren and Taylor and instead just kept pretending everything was fine. Didn’t feel like there much if any adjustments made at half time particularly with protection schemes. Disappointing but as long as they bounce back next week and are competitive against KC I shan’t freak out.
Historically this team can’t win in Pittsburgh. I’m not panicked but this is a bad loss: if they can hang with KC not worried but this has to be a wake up call
I think we went up against the negative perfect storm. First national sports talking heads have been bashing the most expensive defense for weeks and really heated up after the Packers and Bengals carved up the Steelers. Then you add to equation the home team needed game more with Ravens creeping up and Steelers losing streak. Finally, the Colts were due for a bad game. Hopefully we win in Germany and get a nice bye week after to get healthy and focused for last part of season. We are still a good team.
I agree with some of what you said but there were several times that Daniel Jones threw into double coverage. Another problem is it seems like whenever we play the Steelers, especially on their home field, they are much more physical.
I hate to say this, but this was one of those performances that makes you wonder where exactly the team was partying on Saturday night (I’m joking….sort of). Pierce lining up off sides? Pittman getting flagged for an illegal formation? Raimann and Smith looking like they were two steps slow the entire game? It just seemed like the entire offense was sloppy and lethargic. Glad they got that one out of their system now, and not in one of the four remaining divisional games.

Let me be the FIRST to the upcoming whiners. We ALL would take a 7-2 record back in August!
