That isn't why they lost, but did that really make sense?

 Indy has an inept coach in Caldwell who let the Jets into the playoffs last year.  Why would he have any sense at this point?

What in the hell was indy doing leaving so much time on the clock. They could have managed that last drive so much better. That was a killer

Gave Jets time to set up the Edwards catch. Folk may have made it from there anyway.

tried to save time just in case the jet made the FG but that was useless after braylon caught that long pass.

Because he is one of the worst coaches in the league at clock mangement.  Him and Les Miles must have went to the same school.

  I was saying that as they rushed to snap the ball before the 2 minute warning...they moved the ball all second half...on their 2 drives...why rush there...all the time in the world when all you needed was a FG for the win

Thats a good example of affirmative action (rooney rule) not being effective.  Caldwell has no business being a head coach.  This was also evident in the first 2 minutes of the game with a stuid challenge.

that was some retarded. Idk maybe he was trying to imitate Rex Ryan, since rex did it on the previous Colts drive.
what a fucking idiot Caldwell is.

Folk wouldn't have made a 50 yard fg.  the Jets were content on letting the clock run down.  that TO cost the Colts the game. huge mistake.

Caldwell wasn't the one rushing plays before the 2 minute warning.  That was actually Peyton Manning!!!!  That LOST THEM THE game.  Why rush it??!?!?!?!!?

This is true.  They didn't need to rush around, they had plenty of time.  Then calling that timeout on the Jets' possession just capped it off.

However, you have to be able to cover a kick.  There was a real lack of concentration on that kickoff coverage thing. That's what lost them the game.  You give a team the ball on the 45 yard line with 55 seconds left, most of them are going to get into field goal range.

Caldwell is a great NFL coach.  He has the respect of his players...doesn't jump in and fuck up a great thing (that Dungy built with Peyton) - a lot of other coaches would want to get in and put their stamp on this team.  He has been able to get practice squad and rookie guys in there playing at a high level!  This team managed through a hell of a season, finished 10-6 and had a home playoff game...
Just because he doesn't look the part - or talk the part means nothing!!! 

Was the timeout the right call, No!  Nor was it in the Jacksonville game- but don't come in, after watching 2-3 Colts games at most...and say this guy doesn't know what he is doing.  Nor that he deserves to be a coach. 

Bottom line - you manage the clock...they had plenty of time when all they needed was a FG to win the game, not to rush up to that point - and to cover on SP to win this game...Caldwell has been masterful with this team...and will continue to have success as the years go on with Peyton as the QB

I have watched every single colts game and i will tell you he is a terrible coach,  He is an awful game manager and if this team didn't have manning they would have been 3-13 this season at best.  He is not the reason this team has so many wins.  Peyton Manning is.

Agreed! Plus he had no timeout left to ice the kicker on what would have probably been at least a 40 yard fg.
