Caught most of the fourth quarter of last night's Colts-Chargers game. The Colts got too cute for their own good and frankly watching them blow it after a tremendous comeback made me chuckle.
Why did they feel the need to bluff going for it on fourth down when everyone knew they were just trying to draw the Chargers offsides? That shit rarely works. All that happened was they got a penalty that drove them a few yards further away and may have played a part in Adam Vinatieri's blowing an easy kick.
Too many of the players and teams are getting to be too smart for their own good. Players make interceptions then foolishly try to lateral to someone before they get tackled even though it is clearly not the time for such a move. The pathetic and questionable efforts to freeze the kicker has gotten out of hand too. There are lots of other examples of these coaches and players trying to get too clever but I won't waste the space here. I'll just say play the damn game.
