I agree. It was a good no-call.
Luck's Colts are 10-2 ATS and 11-1 SU after losses. Sure one loss was Monday night, and even with Jonathon Cyprian's return for the Jags this weekend, I'll still take the Colts and the 6 pts this

What seems to be lost about that play (as Alabama has alluded to) is the BONE HEADED playcall to pass the ball instead of running the ball, taking the clock down some more, than kicking the field goal for a potential 10 point lead.
"Only three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad". The Colts found out the hard way. Missed calls are part of the game, for every team, almost every week. There's not enough time in the day for me to get into the innumerable times that the Eagles got jo'd by the referees.

I agree they shouldn't have thrown on this play but this adage is outdated. In today's NFL there are many more likely outcomes. Pass interference and defensive holding are just as common as completions. Let's also not forget the 15 yard penalty for tackling to hard.

Indy's playcalling towards the end of the game was atrocious at best. Ran the ball when they should've passed, and passed when they should've run.
Call it getting too cute. Call it being scared of giving Chip the ball back w/ 5 minutes on the clock, down two scores...whatever ya call it, call it as boneheaded a move that I've seen in quite some time, and they probably lost the game because of it.

I totally agree on the penalties being used as a way to get down the field. This DEFINITELY ISN'T the game that I grew up on!
