Early in the season, Ryan was ineffective. So, the coach benched him in favor of Sam, but then the Colts fired the coach and replaced him with somebody who had never coached any position at the professional or college level. The new coach demoted Sam to third team and started Ryan. Then, this week, after Ryan has again been ineffective, the coach moves him down to third team (inactive), and starts Foles tonight (with Sam on the bench). Early in the third quarter, Foles has already thrown three picks. What a zoo.
. . . Six minutes left in the game and the Colts have a grand total of 3 points. Even the announcers are wondering why Sam isn't in the game yet. I think Coach Saturday just does not want to admit he made a mistake in benching him when he took the job. (or maybe, he just wants to protect Sam because this offensive line play is awful)
... under 2 minutes left and the Colts came up short on a fourth and nine. No contest.
