The Indianapolis Colts (3-5-1) continued their downward spiral with another loss Sunday, this time falling 26-3 against the New England Patriots (5-4) at Gillette Stadium.
Though the defense put on a pretty good performance, the offense was downright putrid. It was another ugly outing for that side of the ball as they once again failed to score at all during the first half of the game and over half of their drives ended in a three-and-out.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Week 9 loss:
So we fired the play caller, the HC who really calls the plays said it would be a group effort. That group had scored 3 pts. The Oline still can’t pick up day one install stunts. So @Colts and @JimIrsay as a season ticket holder for 20yrs what exactly are we doing here?

The Colts are impossible to be a fan of right now

Bill Belichick tries to take away your strength on offense. The Colts countering that by having no strengths is kind of brilliant

The Colts have changed QBs, fired the offensive coordinator, reworked the offensive line 4,829 times and yet, here we are.

If Frank Reich isn’t fired immediately after the game, it’s clearly for one reason: Jim Irsay believes Reich can lead them to a Top 5 pick. #Colts

Mercifully, it's over.
Colts (3-5-1) lose their 3rd straight in one of the most pitiful offensive performances you'll see.
The level of embarrassment, boredom, offensive ineptness has to (or better?) piss Jim Irsay off.
This product is acceptable?

We are all in agreement now right? This Colts’ team is very bad.

Colts LG Quenton Nelson: "Going week to week and hearing the defensive players saying ‘Hey, we’ve got your back, we’ve got your back’ for what seems like every week, holding teams to field goals and getting turnovers, and you just feel like shit not having their back, too."

Next week the Colts face Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones. Then the 8-0 Eagles 10 man pass rush, then TJ Watt, then Micah Parsons, then the 6-1 Vikings, then Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.
This isn't getting better any time soon.

Need a public apology issued by the Colts brass for this nonsense. You sold everyone a MASSIVE lie this season.

11 straight games the Colts haven't scored a point on their opening drive.

The 2011 Colts were more fun and more competitive than this.

The #Colts averaged 2.0 yards per play in today's loss vs. New England.
Per @statmuse, it's the franchise's worst offensive performance from a yards per play standpoint since October 23, 1977.
The Baltimore Colts averaged 1.87 YPP in a 17-3 road loss vs. the Patriots that day.
