When the game is on the line, Saturday’s team is nowhere to be found-they’re fumbling the ball away missing big tackles, running out of bounds when they shouldn’t. Because whatever Saturday was supposed to bring to this team, he’s not doing it. Hopefully, by now Saturday’s learned some fear. “I’m glad he hasn’t learned the fear that’s in this league.” “I’m glad he doesn’t have any NFL experience,” Irsay said when announcing the hire. He was hired because owner Jim Irsay believed the team needed to get fired up. But of course, Saturday wasn’t hired for his coaching strategy or decision-making. We don’t really know how much of the game plan falls on him, how much of the offensive strategy falls on him, and so on. We can question how much Saturday’s coaching strategy is truly responsible for. And today, this: A 33-point blown lead, the largest in NFL history. Two weeks ago against the Cowboys, his team allowed 33 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, tying a century-old record for the worst fourth-quarter scoring margin in NFL history. He’s already responsible for two record-setting losses, each equally humiliating.

The Colts hired Jeff Saturday just over a month ago. 3: Every Shot of Jeff Saturday “Coaching”

The odds were on the Colts’ side here-and unfortunately, so was the ball. You might think, “well, Matt Ryan, not good on his feet, why sneak it with him”-but Ryan has historically been a great sneaker! He’d converted on nearly 90 percent of his sneaks over the last five seasons, and was 6-for-7 on the year. Matt Ryan QB sneak on 4th & 1 /6QKlChOYkK- Alex December 17, 2022 The offensive line got a bad push, but replay reviews showed that Ryan didn’t play the sneak well: He got turned around and carried the ball behind his body, meaning that while he reached the line-to-gain, the ball didn’t. Ryan went 7-for-13 for passing 32 yards in the second half, an all-around poor performance as he couldn’t move the ball while regularly stopping the clock.īut his big failure was on a quarterback sneak that could’ve helped Indianapolis ice the game in the fourth quarter. He lost the Super Bowl after taking a 28-3 lead on the Patriots, and now he’s the QB in a 33-point come-from-ahead loss. Poor Matt Ryan, the NFL’s poster boy for huge blown leads. Moss ended the day with a respectable 81 yards on 24 carries, but the Colts might have won if not for his handful of massive mistakes. On the next drive, he gained 11 yards, then forgot to stay inbounds, stopping the clock and helping the Vikings get the ball back just seconds later. He lost a fumble that set up a Vikings touchdown. They didn’t need Moss to make big plays-they needed him to not fumble and not go out of bounds. Later, in the fourth quarter, the Colts simply needed to run out the clock. Would Minnesota have been able to come back from 37-0? Maybe not. He somehow lost seven yards, making him the first player to go backwards five or more yards on a carry from the 1-yard line this season. On the very first drive of the game, the Colts got down to the goal line, and handed Moss the ball on 3rd-and-1 from the 1. That meant the Colts went with Zack Moss, who had a total of seven carries with Indianapolis since being traded by Buffalo at the deadline. Star running back Jonathan Taylor suffered an ankle injury on his very first touch of the game, and was ruled out. The Colts would’ve had a better chance of holding onto a 33-point lead if they had their best player. Saturday showed why that was a bad choice for Philadelphia, in case you hadn’t figured it out yet. Reagor was famously drafted one spot ahead of Jefferson by the Eagles. (Jefferson ended up returning both times.) The first pick was either a massive miss by Cousins or a poorly run route by Reagor on the second interception, Reagor stopped running after Cousins threw the ball, making for an easy pick.

On both throws, Jalen Reagor was the target-and on both throws, Reagor had come into the game because of an injury on the prior play to Jefferson. : NFLN /VPO1fSctp8- Indianapolis Colts December 17, 2022Īs my colleague Benjamin Solak pointed out on Twitter, both plays had a common theme.
