I haven’t seen much attention for his 170 yard all-purpose night. we need a dynamite punt returner. Would be a nice one-two punch to compliment the defense. if I were playing us, I would never put kickoffs into the end zone. Make them hit around the 10-15. Why? We can still fair catch and have it at the 25. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Colts special teams an absolute mess. The changed kickers, missed a FG, got another chance because of a penalty, changed kickers before the retry, then got another FG blocked and missed another one. Their coaches much not care about special teams. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 After watching the Packer-Bengal game and then this, it seems like special teams ineptitude is epidemic. Quote Link to comment

OTOH our fan base closes their eyes, holds their breath and prays to baby Jesus on every PAT and says those same prayers that we never have to kick a FG Their Special Teams are ranked 8th in the NFL- a one game aberration doesn't mean a consistent "mess" . Now if over the last 4 years they were consistently ranked say in the bottom 10% - then you might be correct- that would seem to be a systemic issue- if you're a Colts fan. Nice try though https://www.lineups.com/nfl-team-rankings/special-teams 2 Quote Link to comment

Undone Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 It's honestly pretty cool to see Michigan State at #2 on that list above. Anyway, I feel like the team that we actually are is the team that played against Michigan. Translation: We're actually pretty decent this season. If we had swapped Oklahoma for Colorado and then swapped Michigan for Maryland, we're probably 5-2 with an actual shot at being ranked at the end of the season. But we have a really tough schedule and we lost two games that we could have won if basically one play in each game just went another way. Imagine the ball bouncing slightly differently on Michigan's muffed kick catch and we get possession back there...that's how close we were to winning that game. 1 Quote Link to comment

So it comes down to the refs "joint possession” call after all. Granted that call or the pass interference call on Jo Jo, or the clapping on defense call will ever live up to the infamous 3 yards out of bounds and the trapped catch called TD at Penn State in 1982, it nevertheless affected the outcome of the game. Like you said, if we had recovered the ball (which in fact we did) we would have been in prime position to punch it into the end zone. What is, is what it is. 2 Quote Link to comment

Nebraska55fan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Obscure statistical rankings may make some feel better about their thoughts on their favorite teams. However Wins Losses- Points for Points Against and Turnovers are what matters most. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/27 48th in Offense https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/28 22nd in Defense https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/29/p2 NU is 81st In Turnover Margin Quote Link to comment
