Colts blowing it

[whatever]

I see this all the time and just can’t understand it.
Colts biggest enemy being up 33 is the clock.
I’m watching them punt the ball with 12 seconds still on the play clock, throw 2 passes out of 3, incomplete to stop the clock.
Now giving Minnesota the ball with 7 minutes instead of around 5.
It’s now a 8 point game with 5:30 to play.
Doesn’t anyone watch the clock?

[whatever]

Should be game over by now.

That was insane. I took my dogs for a walk at half thinking it was over. Wow.

The Colts up 33-0 at half and lose 39-36 in OT.

M Ryan is now the QB of the largest lead given up in a Super Bowl and the largest lead ever in the regular season.

wow, biggest comeback in NFL history.

this will badly hurt Saturday's chances of getting the Colts HC job for next season.

tank job?

I turned it off at 33-0 and then flipped back in the second half.

What’s crazy is the fumble returned for a TD was blown dead or they may have won in regulation.

GODDAMMIT! Gonna be hard to stay ahead of these guys on the draft board now. At least the Browns are holding up their end of the bargain.

It's funny since MIN were also robbed of 2 TD returns, one was maybe 50/50 but Pittman was fighting for yards so I don't get that, and the other was outright theft.

the second one was ridiculous. That ball was out so early the refs need punished for that whistle.

I didn’t care who won but that was one of the worst officiated games I can remember.
Both teams got boned by numerous calls.

I turned it on mid way thru the first and thought the game was boring and over mid way thru the 2nd Q.

Next I checked in and it was tied in OT. WTF???

[Starlifter]

I had to go watch the second half again because - how do you blow a 33 point lead???

Play soft zone
Poor clock management
Being predictable - but that’s to be expected up 33.

I suspect many will blame Ryan. Outside of not taking the play clock down, I didn’t think he was awful. It’s a defensive collapse of epic proportions. Although that last turnover was awful - but clearly the colts were in diamond producing rectal tightening mode.
